So it's been nearly a month since I've been banned from @YouTube. I want to thank everybody who's reached out and shown concern. I appreciate you guys. I wanted to update you all on my current YT situation as it isn't looking very promising.

@YouTube's appeal process is 100% automated. The only point of contact for YT is copyright@youtube.com and they've continuously informed me that the claims made against my channel have NOT been retracted despite@MiddTone of@UGCevents informing me that they were.pic.twitter.com/G1OWwzNuvz

In total, there were 19 copyright claims filed against my "Classic Halo" channel. I e-mailed
@MiddTone on Oct. 9th to ensure the retractions were filed how@YouTube wants them to be (since the process is 100% automated) and never heard back.pic.twitter.com/bm1ZznPgVY

While I know I made a mistake, my intentions were pure.
@UGCevents had me under the belief I was vindicated and I repeatedly apologized for my actions. The plan was to record an apology video to@UGCevents along with crediting@MiddTone and@UGCmatt for their swift responses.pic.twitter.com/VAxI1LfpnJ

While I admit I was in the wrong, there were several other YT channels uploading @UGCevent content in full VOD form long before I did. Those channels (and the corresponding videos) remain unaltered.pic.twitter.com/mK2roj7krr

This has been very difficult for me to accept. I had 11 years worth of memories on my YT that are now gone. Feels like it isn't real. I've played Halo almost exclusively for over half of my life and those memories can't ever be replaced.

I'm not going to speculate as to whether or not I'm being blacklisted/targeted but just know I did what I could. Legally I cannot start another YT channel so there is no chance of a comeback outside of my my channel being reinstated by the retraction of those 19 strikes.

The bottom line is I fucked up. Time heals and I'll eventually come to terms with how things transpired but I can't help but feel like I've let you all down. Together we've done some great things for Halo and I wanted to be there to continue to help transform Halo long-term.

This is bogus man, your videos are a testament to your passion. @TeamYouTube @YouTube give this man back his channel, he's done everything you ask of your users. His interviews of Halo community members are a gift to fans of Halo and your platform.
