Today, an English Subber of Vocaloid songs on Youtube has had their account suspended/possibly terminated. They have had an account for years and are one of the most accurate English translators of Vocaloid songs that I have found. This was there Youtube account: https://www.youtube.com/user/ukwildcat387

Here is what they said concerning their problem:

I am really confused how, having never gotten a copyright strike or complaint before, I went to bed last night and then woke up to see 4 years of translation work disappear because apparently I was "spamming" on that "If You Do Do" Umetora video I posted 2 years ago.

I mean I figure this is the end and I suppose it's time to give up and move on, but I'd like a little help/advice if anyone has it and is willing to spread the word around.

I keep sending reports to that https://support.google.com/accounts/contact/suspended?p=youtube&rd=1 page using my actual email, google+ email, descentsubs email and it just keeps saying "good news! you're account is fine!"

If anyone has any ideas as to how they can help or if you just want to give them some words of encouragement, please go to their Facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/descent87/timeline

If you do not have a Facebook but have some suggestions, post your ideas here and I am more than willing to post them on Facebook for you.

Ugh. Unfortunately, I don't know of anything to help him, but that really sucks. I love his work, too. I hope he can get it sorted out. I did see a comment about someone saying that he needs to use his actual YT account, not his google account? Dunno if that'd work or if that's the issue or not. >.<

Hmm....I'm not too sure also T_T
But I think years ago the problem with youtube is that once a person decided to report a certain channel, no matter what reason they select as a complaint, that channel will get shut down immediately (without reviewed by a yt inspector), and that's when the SaveMiku campaign happened. If there isn't any copyright warnings beforehand, I'm guessing that's most likely the reason (But don't quote me on it though, it's just a wild guess)

As far as I know, as of right now, their account is just suspended (?) so they still have some hope.

They also added this:

Thanks for the support guys, so much helpful advice. I am working on it, and I'll keep everyone updated. Getting so much support today, I've decided that even if everything is lost, I'll at least reupload my videos somewhere (except for Umetora, cause it's too "pornographic" I guess) somewhere so that people will be able to access them. If my channel isn't restored, I might quit to be honest, because nowadays I keep translating because I want to help support artists and their work, and I don't know how well I can do that on a channel that will likely have only my closest 500-1000 followers subscribing to it. But no matter what happens I'll get my videos back up for people to see and I won't quit fighting this for a few weeks I promise. It's gonna be slow to deal with, cause YT has literally banned me from it's website for 6 months so I can't even use my normal accounts to log in and contact them that way.
3+ years of work, thousands and thousands of hours of Japanese study, typesetting, translating, uploading, writing, managing ect, all to get wiped away by a complaint about an anime girl wearing a bra. World is a funny place...(btw after rereading the 2 emails they sent me, it's confirmed that this was the issue)

EDIT: They created a new 'temporary' account here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCS6QNYgZdt-gQMHvCsUuZmQ
