Yeah, my terrible, terrible videos are all still up. I only had like 10, but they're all still there. MasterKuni, I'd advise against doing what you're planning until youtube releases an announcement on the subject. I'm still thinking this is a bug, but with a system as big as theirs, fixes are going to be slow and painful.

I make decent quality videos, and mine is not banned, all my videos are even tagged with "tf2" and "Team fortress 2" so I highly doubt all of this is about tf2

La_maisonHave you guys linked your accounts to that ingame uploader thing?

Yes.

EDIT: my account is un-suspended, but all my videos are gone

So this happened to my account as well and this was the reply I got:

To me that looks like either a massive bug, or a LOT of accounts got hacked/compromised in some way. :/

Wow, I didn't even see this thread until just now. My account was also disabled out of the blue, and I don't even post anything.

I talked to a friend at Google who said he'd look into it, with this many people affected I can only assume it's a mistake.

Edit: I didn't even try because I got no email, but my account is back as well, totally intact; I hope nobody lost any videos!

If that account was taken to be true (could just be well written fiction). That is pretty damn horrifying.

Without a doubt the most unpleasant glitch to happen with Youtube so far, but on the bright side it seems like most people have gotten their accounts back (me included).

Yeah, Youtube fucked up big time.
But it seems that they undid the big mistake for nearly everyone :]

There is still no official statement to this from Google, right?
