| In your opinion, should Youtube "reinforce" it's laws against name calling, racist comments and etc? Or should Yt take actions against trolls, cyberbullies or do something about such (like flaming someone or flamewars or hate groups directed at a certain group, E.G Indians, French, British, Chinese, Blacks). Should Youtube "interfere"?

| That's a pretty interesting question. I think it is important to have some regulations, you don't want things to go out of control. At the same time, it is kind of buggy how intrusive the measures can be or how it can bring some abuse having a bully group flag you to get you kicked and ultimately getting away with it because the system doesn't really investigate and simply measured by number of complains. I am not saying that is YouTube case but it has been deviantART and other sites with similar reinforcements.
I am in the understanding you can contact Youtube by reporting this kind of situations. I kind of like it this way. passive approach. I think if YT became active trying to reinforce it there would be trouble...

| As far as I know it works depending your influence. one big corporation flagging your stuff is worth more than many simple users squalling over comments. At least that is the idea I get from the vocal users. I only reported someone on counted occasions and the account was still there for a good while.
When you report they make you fill this silly questionnaire that doesn't cover everything and gives you no opportunity to choose "it is something else", of course, you are given a box to provide details but if your detail doesn't match the classification on the nature of the report, why would they take you seriously?

| And some users are saying : Yt's interfering too much and a "taking their freedom of speech" & "their right to dislike someone, or to hate someon's channel" away, just by "deleting or removing their hate comments". I think it's "freedom of speech" gone too far. Do you think Yt's right or the users?

Not me, but he was saying the most stupid things ever against Women : Women have to or must need a man in their life, which is false btw in the 21st century,eh? A woman can be a woman without needing a man or a guy.

| think YT is doing ok censoring videos but the comments are a troll feast. Not sure how many flags you need before YouTube takes action.
The guy I bothered trying to report... He was filling copyright complaints to random videos. This would cause YT to put them to hold. My videos do have music and videos that may put them at risk but like I said, this guy was just misusing that report tool. Some comments were saying it was their own compositions and stuff. Yet YT took each of his report seriously without investigation. A look to his profile would made things easier.
When I reported him, I had a hard time because none of the options I was forced to choose from as the season of the report was about abusing the reporting tools. I am afraid they ignored my and other members reports against this user because our pants were off with the selected cause in they forms.
Eventually those copyright claims disappeared from my video so at least that's good.
Done venting.

| Of course I heavily dislike that, it makes my blood boil how some videos have just piercing comments mocking someone's appearance instead of the message or just be plain cruel. I am sad to hear of cases where it has driven the person to decide to take their life away. To think some actually consider it a victory when that happens.

| I think that Youtube must already be taking some sort of action to erase the number of inappropriate comments that are posted, as there would be far more if left uncensored. Much like a newspaper's letter to the editor, they probably receive a huge volume of weird, illegal material that could never be published; I think that, like it or not, they do have to interfere and do this, or else the site would turn off many. Overall, they are not erasing useful or purposeful content, and I really do not see the harm in their doing this; I suppose, to some level, you do have to trust Youtube to not erase any of the good comments. However, it really is beyond your control what they do.

Really, wow... I hate "uncivility" of any kind to people & when people go round & attack others' on their looks/race & mocking of their taste in things: like foods, books, & music & etc... I really think this could make a Youtuber go mad & commit suicide. For example, one Youtuber said: he liked And I hate how these people think it's funny to make fun of others.

I agree. Even if what we see can be bad, I am sure there is a lot more that gets taken down before we know. Perhaps even some of the inflammatory comments we've skim through are being deleted as well and it is more the impression they left on us. Like I said above so long they are being fair and the system is not completely automatized (so a human can revert the errors and false positives can be restored as well as to minimize the effect of targeted-flagging/reporting-attack against people doing nothing wrong. - Ashera wrote:

And I hate how these people think it's funny to make fun of others. Yeah. Some people think they are being so clever by coming with raw unrelated insults, though if we comment to defend we are just falling for their game and putting ourselves in the risk to be the next target.

| It is kind of difficult not to do anything when you feel identified with a group, eh? I guess it is good to stand for the insulted one. There are many silly debates that grow into flamming between Spaniards and Mexicans about what dubbing is better, insulting the differences in pronunciations and then mocking the pasts, economy, and more. Depending who started it I may or not butt in. Speaking of YT reports? Do you all report things often? I use the flag as spam a lot but no the report. - Now about that question...:

I feel weird saying 'my people'. I understand the feeling of me being one of them. I guess I feel that they allow me to be part of them more so than me being the one embracing them, specially with Australia. I guess in reality is a bit of things. I admit that since Spanish is my first language it is easy to feel closer with people that share it. In practice I relate to people from Spain and South america just as well, but in many world matters there is a bond with the American-Latino stronger than the Iberic Europe. I also relate more to Australians now that I have lived here three years. Their problems affect me as a resident and I can relate with their culture a bit better, even if at some points I feel left out. In short, I simultaneously consider Australians and Mexicans/Spanish-speakers part of the team I am in.
