Ali YT (@AliYTrjhy) reported@TeamYouTube @YouTube @nealmohan If you truly want to help, and you're a genuine YouTube support employee, you should help me. That's what your platform states; you're a creator support team. First, before I explain my channel's content, as a credible platform, you must adhere to the policy I'm about to state: You will be notified by email of the outcome of your review request. If the request is accepted, you'll be directed back to your dashboard in YouTube Studio. If it's rejected, you'll be logged out of your account after accepting the decision. Why did you send a notification to my Gmail account informing me that my channel was removed, and now you're saying the review is complete and there's an error in the YouTube Studio dashboard? Well, where is your commitment to notify me by email of the outcome of my review request?! This is the policy, and I'll repeat it again so you don't repeat the same information you previously provided: You will be notified by email of the outcome of your review request. If the request is accepted, you'll be directed back to your dashboard in YouTube Studio. If my appeal is rejected, you will be logged out of your account after accepting the decision. Therefore, you must adhere to your policies and officially notify me of the appeal result via email. Regarding the removal of my channel on the grounds that it violates policies, my channel has never violated any of your policies, and I have the right to appeal this decision repeatedly. I want to defend my rights, and you must listen to me. This is my right; you have no right to remove the channel, reject my appeal, and then hide behind a policy of spam, deceptive practices, and scams. This is completely false. It is shameful to remove the channel unjustly and then claim it violates your policies. This is unacceptable. It states the following: 1- Misleading content: Posting videos containing misleading metadata or deceptive titles and thumbnails that do not reflect reality. I have not posted videos containing misleading metadata. All titles and thumbnails are identical to those in my videos, which are gaming videos. The image is also related to the game, and the title and description are for the game itself. You can accuse me of misleading content if I post news content, not mobile gaming content. 2- Spam in interaction: Posting excessively repetitive comments or harmful and deceptive links in comments or the forum. I haven't posted any duplicate comments. For each video on my channel, I post a single pinned comment, inviting viewers to watch videos that comment on the same video I'm commenting on. The links I use are: a link to my app on Google Play (I have proof that it's mine and that it's my app), and it's related to the content of my channel. There are no purchases, commercial activities, or offers of materials for money within the app. The app doesn't redirect users to other websites. Additionally, I include a link to a playlist related to my channel's content and a link to my Facebook group. 3- Fraud and Manipulation: Using automated tools or bots to artificially inflate views, subscribers, or likes. I did not use any automated tools to increase views. All my viewership comes from YouTube search, my channel pages, playlists, and my videos appearing in Google search results. 4- AI-Based Misinformation: Creating fake and misleading content that deceives users about specific identities or events. I did not use any AI tools in my videos. I record the video using Bandicam and then upload it to Camtasia Studio. I design the thumbnails in Photoshop. Regarding the rest of the policies, the content on my channel is created by me; it is not stolen or taken from another channel or platform. I also customize the thumbnails and titles. You must listen to us and our arguments. I cannot remain silent about a system that deleted my channel after I had edited my pinned comments. This is the second time I will submit my argument that your decision is wrong. After that, my lawyer will represent me to reinstate my channel according to the law and consumer protection procedures. My channel is still under review. You must respond to my appeal properly and according to your stated policies. You must respond to my appeal via email, not tell me through a support representative that the review is complete and that I should ignore YouTube Studio because it's a relic of the old system. It's truly ridiculous that YouTube sets its own policies and then doesn't adhere to them.

Matt Novak | PostmasterOPS (@mattnovakemail) reportedMalformed messages get delivery problems. Valid Message-ID, sane MIME, proper Date/From, no duplicate headers. Gmail explicitly calls out malformed messages as a cause of deliverability issues. Check your headers.

UCHE (@bossuche1) reportedDear @gmail Pls add DELETE to the notification bar, I want to be able to delete mails from my drop-down notification bar. I do not want to enter my inbox just to delete an irrelevant mail. Thank u.

CoderFrankfurt (@coderfrankfurt) reported@yashmp2004 Proton Mail isn’t completely free. Gmail has had its share of issues too, including security and privacy concerns, you might remember the WikiLeaks revelations. I think it’s worth spending a little money and going for a paid Proton Mail plan. In my opinion, that’s the better choice.
-
The Cat🦁🐯😸 (Aaron Kesel) (@JustAC4t) reportedIma let you finish, but... DON'T USE Gmail. Use Protonmail with dual encryption 2 passwords to get into your email + an authenticator key 🔑 or authy app. No idea why more email providers don't use the same model. But very few others allow for the dual login requirement of 2 passwords. If you have to use 2 emails use Protonmail address as your ultimate recovery email for Gmail or Whatever your second email is. Don't add phone authentication Sim swapping is EZ for a social engineer.

Matt ******* (@bigolemand) reported@Gbot183 I get it but it makes me crazy thinking anyone could let their email get so out of hand. I clean and manage my inbox like OCD. I use my Gmail for garbage and to 'sign in with google' but my main email is immaculate. I asked grok bot to look through it, just suggested to archive a couple things.

@levelsio (@levelsio) reportedThere is no reason NOT to have every single email you get routed through an agent / LLM / API to be scored and approved or rejected And then the approved emails ordered by importance It's crazy this isn't a feature of Gmail, Fastmail etc AI could permanently fix email!

Instachat1.com-Free Speech Social Media Site GR-US (@Instachat1Com) reportedEveryone is having a problem with Google's Algorithms and sending their emails to Spam folders. There will be a huge Lawsuit soon from all the complaints I see around the internet. People are losing money, time, their professionalism, reputations, and gaining a lot of headaches... Anyone else has problems with Google/Gmail?? If yes, has anyone found a way to contact customer support? (not forums)

Rachael Nelson (@rachael__nelson) reported@adamislucky I think this just about every day when I have to hunt down the search. I hate the mobile app Home Screen UX so bad right now. History is also brutally messed up. But, we have Gmail and Google Maps and Waymo and search.

Richard de los Santos (@ZeusRadls) reported@atmoio Grok Bot is wild. For fun I had it review and fix my LinkedIn page. It asked me some questions and went to the page and made the edits in its local browser. It will now respond to people and pass along useful connections to me. I asked it to push a local Grok Build project to GitHub. It found the project folder fixed some issues and pushed it to GitHub. I asked it clean up my downloads folder. It did it instantly. I asked it to review and clean up my old Gmail account. It went through thousands of old emails. Wiped out my quota doing it, but it was insanely easy. I activated the 𝕏 connector and had it advise me on my 𝕏 activity. It told me to stop positing garbage and clean up my act (basically). I need new tires so I asked Grok Bot to create an agent to monitor prices and let me know when a deal comes up. The list goes on…

Evon (@_evon3929) reported3/ Hunt Down Old Accounts Hundreds of sites still hold your details from signups you forgot about years back. Go to: Gmail → search "verify your email." How to use it: every result is one of them. Open the site, log in, find Delete Account under Settings or Privacy. Do the ones that had your card or address on them first.

RECIDENT (@recidentz) reported@poteto @bot Id like to have a bot that can be an expert with office use, pdf making, email sending, to be able to watch live if a customer texted through WhatsApp and ping me For the example: having a construction company, estimates are moving fast in the emails, you do a lot of back and forth on WhatsApp and Gmail. Having the bot handle it will be so nice, and I’m currently have a lil trouble with it.

Tony Tong | Founder | Ancient Systems x AI (@tonytonggg) reported@short_usd A CRM that tracks who matters and what's next sounds great in theory; mine gets close for email. Opencode plus a Gmail MCP server flags what deserves a reply and reads the warmth behind it, via the gmail-mcp auth step. It triages honestly, no pretending.

Tony Tong | Founder | Ancient Systems x AI (@tonytonggg) reported@joelampton_ Analyzing the game only works if your tools actually talk to each other. My Nanobot instance runs on MiniMax 2.5, and I spent real time wiring a Composio MCP server into it just so it could touch Gmail. That's the unglamorous half of learning life.

Scale Network (@ScaleNetworkAI) reported@Umarbumar123 @gmail Hey Umaree, we appreciate your feedback regarding this issue. We had a maintenance last night to deal with Google's rate-limiting our website. Everything should work by now. Send us a feedback if anything doesn't work anymore. We will respond promptly to all your problems :>

Alternate Jones (@AlternateJones) reportedOne more thing that made this work unusually well for me: Over the last six months, I had already built extensive dossiers across Claude Code and Codex covering almost all areas of my life and work. When I created my first Grok bot, I simply pointed it at those dossiers and gave it some guidance on which specialist agents should own which domains. Then I connected it to Gmail and Google Drive. That changed everything. Now every task starts with context. Every relevant email, sent or received, is available. Every important file is already there. The historical decisions, assumptions, constraints and open issues are in the dossiers. So instead of repeatedly explaining the background, I can give the bot an objective and let it decide which agent should handle it, what context it needs, and what source material to inspect. The real unlock for agents, in my experience, isn’t just intelligence. It’s persistent context + access to your actual data + delegation.
