YouTube duplicate profile violation?

If you write to "service @ youtube.com", you'll end up absolutely

nowhere, because that's their computer-generated email-system

that sends everyone's messages/comments to our inboxes (just

like Yahoo's "answers-alert @ cc.yahoo-inc.com").

If you've got a problem, bug, issue, or idea, the most appropriate

and ideal email address is "support @ youtube.com". Everytime

YouTube wrote back to me, that was their actual "header". If the

problem is abuse, there's this direct link (which will then expand

further based on your subsequent choices):

http://www.google.com/support/youtube/bin/request....

But if you do email them, do not expect any formal answer other

than a computer-generated one. YouTube really enjoys boasting

that they are a "free public service" -- and they genuinely believe

that everything they do is a goodwill gesture -- including ignoring

people's emails and valid user comments to their very own blogs.

Because YouTube LLC has only 70 employees or so, they don't

really have a "Help Center", "Support Team", or "YouTube Team".

(Yes, there actually are 3 different departments with those titles).

Unless you're an advertiser, a broadcaster, a media company or

one of the YouTube "partners", don't even bother trying to phone

them. The frosty and bitter receptionists have been programmed

to not let "regular people" through.

But good luck anyway with your email. YouTube actually replied

to 2 of mine last year (out of 5) even though nothing got resolved.

I would post your problem on there support forum. There the only ones who can help you ;)
