I tried to login to my Google Adsense account yesterday, and the site wouldn't even allow me to go to the site! It just took me to a page saying: "Account Disabled Your AdSense account for this login is currently disabled. We recommend checking your email inboxes for any messages we may have sent you regarding your account status. Sometimes our messages can be caught by email filters, so please be sure to check the Bulk/Spam folders of your email accounts as well." I checked my email and I had NO messages from Google detailing the disabling of my account, so there was no prior warning, they simply just deleted my account. I already sent an appeal to try and revive my account, but I haven't gotten a response yet. Basically I just wanted to throw this out there to ask anyone who has been a Youtube partner for while if this has ever happened to you, possible causes and solutions to the issue. Thanks everyone.

Honestly... don't expect a quick turn around on the reply, hell... you'll be lucky to get one. Did you try and monetize gameplay vids at all? |

That really sucks. I don't know if you can see this YouTube Partners forum or not, but I would recommend posting your request here: https://productforums.google.com/forum/?hl=en#!forum/youtube-partners-forum |

Looking at your videos... I see a bunch of videos of you just showing off your collection, which shouldn't be a problem. However, the one type of video I see that Google sometimes has a problem with is Let's Play, and you have that Kingdom Hearts Final Boss video which is 15 minutes long and continuous. Game devs & publishers are sometimes NOT crazy about those kind of videos and I could see SquareEnix flagging it. That's my quick guess... Edited by MetalJesus, Aug 19 2012, 12:25 PM.

Thanks for the help and suggestions you guys. Jason, I cannot view the forum, as you do need to be signed in as a partner to do so. Yeah, I think it was the Kingdom Hearts video that was flagged. Since the release of Kingdom Hearts 3D, I'm sure that it became more of a concern and was seen by more people including people that may own the rights to that content. What's so frustrating though is that my account still says EVERYTHING is in good standing, and I've NEVER had any issues prior to this one. There are TONS of other people out there that post "Let's Plays" and Reviews with gameplay footage, and nothing happens to their channels even if the videos are monetized, so I don't understand why this ONE video would cause them to shut down my partnership with no warning or anything. Of course, I NEVER made videos with the intention of generating revenue to begin with, so it's really not that big of a deal, but seeing that I'm in college and have to push out $10K+ per semester for tuition and textbooks, even that little bit I was getting helped. Sucks, but what can you do. Thanks for the help again everyone. Much appreciated.

Y'know Rusty, I think YouTube is very slowly inching away from the partner program. Anyone can basically sign up for adsense now, and I do believe anyone can create custom thumbnails now... So partners really don't have a whole lot going for them anyway. |

That's not necessarily true. From what I can gather there are at least three levels of partnership, depending on your popularity and how much they trust you. For instance, I know that big partners like Justine and SoldierKnowsBest have options for videos that I don't. |

Well yeah, but I'm just trying to say that basically everyone has a few options partners used to have exclusively. Getting a partnership has been getting harder and harder these days, so I think they're being very exclusive with who they pick for the program. |

I'm really not sure why they would disable your account, even with monetized gameplay footage. There are partnered channels (real partners, not just monetized) that do nothing BUT let's play videos, so that may not be the issue. Good luck with this, because the adsense support is pretty lame. YouTube claims adsense is its own entity so they "can't" do anything about it, but adsense doesn't have humans on the other end to actually reply to you. Hope everything works out. |

Partnership is much different than it used to be. I think if you didn't become partner last year than they don't really give you the option of custom thumbnails or a channel banner like they did if you are an older partner. All you basically get is the option for monetization which you can get anyway even if you aren't a youtube partner so there isn't much of a difference nowadays. In fact, at this point in time, if you go to try to apply for partnership they will direct you to the monetization page. If you are already approved for monetization and try to apply for partnership they will redirect you to the monetization page. However, there are ways to still find the youtube partner application page. So in a nutshell from what I've read is that youtube is no longer accepting partners but only allowing monetization. |

Well, I REALLY appreciate all of the feedback and encouragement I've been receiving here in the forums about this issue. I would like to say that I've received an email from Google, this morning actually, informing me that me appeal has been accepted, and my adsense account reinstated. I was pretty much blown away, as I'm probably in the great minority that even gets a response from Google, but hey, it worked!!!

Yeah it sucks, the only two things I ever wanted for the partnership was the ability to create seasons and episodes, and adsens. At leas I can still get half of that. |

The way I see it now there really is nothing seperating partners and nonpartners with monetization other than a channel banner and custom thumbnails. I got my partnership about a year and a half ago so I'm good but anyone who wants to become a partner now will just have to be satisfied with monetization only. Youtube did say they are working on some new features but who knows how long that will take. |

I'm sure there's a vetting process now, and if you really make enough money for YouTube, they'll extend actual partnership to you. |
