Prompt
Act as a YouTube channel operations manager who handles Community Guidelines enforcement for creators: reading the warning or strike notice, deciding whether to appeal or fix, and writing a short, factual appeal in YouTube Studio. Inputs: - The notice pasted exactly: warning or strike, the policy named, the removed video title, and the date: [ViolationNotice] - Channel standing: active strikes with dates, prior warnings, policy training taken, and monetization status: [StrikeHistory] - What the video shows and says at the moments most likely flagged, with timestamps: [FlaggedContent] - Context visible in the video itself: title, description, opening framing, on screen notes, and narration: [ContextOnScreen] - Your honest read: was this a misread, or did the content cross the line: [CreatorPosition] - Output format: [Format] Generate: 1. A status read from ViolationNotice and StrikeHistory: warning or strike, the restriction in effect now (for a strike, the upload and live stream freeze), when each active strike expires after 90 days, and how close the channel is to three strikes in 90 days and termination. 2. A policy match: summarize the named Community Guidelines policy, list the specific behaviors it covers that could apply to FlaggedContent, and rank which timestamps most likely triggered the review. 3. A context check: whether the educational, documentary, scientific, or artistic context YouTube weighs is visible in the video itself from ContextOnScreen, not only in the creator's intent, and what is missing. 4. An appeal or fix decision with reasons, tied to CreatorPosition: appeal when the content fits that context or was misread; accept and fix when it crossed the line. Note that each warning or strike gets one appeal, and that a warning can instead expire through the policy training. 5. The appeal text: polite, factual, first person, naming the policy, the timestamps, and the context already in the video; no threats, no comparisons to other channels, no new promises the video does not keep; sized to fit the Studio appeal form. 6. A fix plan if not appealing or if the appeal is rejected: what to edit, why reuploading removed content can bring another strike, and framing changes for future uploads. 7. A channel safety checklist: older videos with the same pattern to review, scheduled premieres or streams to pause, and notes for editors and moderators. Constraints: - Use only the notice, history, and timestamps given; if a detail is missing, write NOT IN NOTICE. - Enforcement rules change; tell the user to confirm current penalties on the YouTube Help Center. This is not legal advice. - No em dashes.

Example Input
ViolationNotice: "Community Guidelines strike. We removed 'Stop the Bleed at Home: Tourniquet and Wound Packing Drill' because it violates our violent or graphic content policy." Dated October 6, 2026 StrikeHistory: one warning in March 2026 for a thumbnail, policy training completed in March; no active strikes before this one; channel in the YouTube Partner Program FlaggedContent: 0:00 to 0:12 cold open close up of a moulage leg wound with stage blood pulsing from a pump; 4:30 to 6:10 wound packing on a silicone trainer with fake blood; 8:05 instructor says "this is what a real femoral bleed looks like" over the same moulage ContextOnScreen: title above; description says "Training video by a certified Stop the Bleed instructor. All injuries are makeup and training models"; no on screen note in the first 12 seconds; narration starts at 0:13 explaining it is a drill CreatorPosition: we think it was misread as a real injury because of the cold open; nothing in it is real Format: sections 1 to 7
Example Output
1. STATUS - Action: the notice says strike, not warning, so treat this as strike 1. Why it was not a new warning after the March thumbnail warning is NOT IN NOTICE. - In effect now: about a one week freeze on uploads, live streams, and other channel actions. Confirm the exact end date in YouTube Studio. - Expiry: 90 days after October 6, 2026, so around January 4, 2027. - Risk: two more strikes before that date would terminate the channel. Pause anything risky until then. 2. POLICY MATCH (violent or graphic content) The policy covers graphic or shocking footage of injury and blood shown to shock or disgust. It allows educational and documentary content with context. Likely triggers, ranked: 1. 0:00 to 0:12: realistic pulsing wound, no context yet, first thing a reviewer sees. 2. 8:05: the line "what a real femoral bleed looks like" can sound like real injury footage. 3. 4:30 to 6:10: clearly a silicone trainer, low risk. 3. CONTEXT CHECK Present: title names a drill, the description says injuries are makeup and models, narration from 0:13 explains the drill. Missing: nothing on screen in the first 12 seconds says "training simulation", and the 8:05 line blurs real and simulated. 4. DECISION: APPEAL The video is first aid training, all injuries are simulated, and the context exists but starts 13 seconds late. This is a good case for an appeal. You get one appeal for this strike, so use it carefully. 5. APPEAL TEXT "Hello, this video is a Stop the Bleed training drill taught by a certified instructor. Every injury shown is theatrical makeup or a silicone training model, and no real person is hurt. The description states this, and the narration from 0:13 explains that viewers are watching a practice drill. The wound packing from 4:30 to 6:10 is done on a training model. Our goal is to teach viewers to control bleeding until emergency services arrive, which is educational content. We respectfully ask you to review the video with this context and reinstate it. Thank you." Shorten to fit if the Studio appeal box is smaller. 6. FIX PLAN (if the appeal is rejected) - Do not reupload the removed video as is; that can bring a second strike. - New cut: open on the instructor, add an on screen note "Training simulation. Makeup and models only." from 0:00, remove the pulsing close up from the cold open, and reword 8:05 to "this simulates a femoral bleed". - Thumbnail: trainer and gloved hands, no blood. 7. CHANNEL SAFETY CHECKLIST - Review the 4 older drill videos with moulage cold opens; add opening notes. - Pause the October 10 premiere "Burn Care Basics" until it gets the same opening note. - Tell editors: context in the first 5 seconds, no realistic gore in thumbnails. - Confirm current strike penalties on the YouTube Help Center.
