This article is about Community Guidelines strikes. To find info about copyright strikes, which are different from Community Guidelines strikes, go to our copyright strike basics.
Community Guidelines are the rules of the road for how to behave on YouTube. These policies apply to all types of content on our platform, including unlisted and private content, comments, links, Community posts, and thumbnails. This list isn’t complete. If your content violates our Community Guidelines, your channel will get a strike.
Note: We may remove content for reasons other than Community Guidelines violations. For example, a first-party privacy complaint or a court order. In these cases, your channel won’t get a strike.
When you get a strike, you’re told via email. You can also choose to have notifications sent to you through your mobile and computer notifications, and in your channel settings. We’ll also tell you:
If your content violates our Community Guidelines, here’s how it affects your channel:
Warning
We understand mistakes happen and you don’t mean to violate our policies — that’s why the first violation is typically only a warning. To have this warning expire after 90 days, you can take a policy training. However, if your content violates the same policy within that 90 day window, the warning will not expire and your channel will be given a strike.
Sometimes a single case of severe abuse will result in channel termination without warning. If you think we made a mistake, you can submit an appeal.
Optional policy trainings
Policy trainings are short in-product educational experiences based on the specific Community Guidelines policy you’ve violated.
If you receive a Community Guidelines warning, you can access the policy training from your Studio account anywhere you typically check your policy violations. This includes the Studio dashboard and the Content tab. You’ll also see a link to open the training from the email and banner notifications. Note: Not all Community Guidelines warnings are eligible for policy trainings.
If you complete an optional policy training, your warning will expire after 90 days. The 90 day period starts from when the training is completed, not when the warning is issued. If you violate a different policy after completing the training, you will get another warning.
Repeated violations of our policies– or a single case of severe abuse– may still result in the termination of your account. We may prevent repeat offenders from taking trainings in the future.
First Strike
If we find your content doesn’t follow our policies for a second time, you’ll get a strike.
This strike means you will not be allowed to do the following for 1 week:
Upload videos or live streams
Start a scheduled live stream
Schedule a video to become public
Create a Premiere
Add a trailer to an upcoming Premiere or live stream
Create custom thumbnails or Community posts
Create, edit, or add collaborators to playlists
Add or remove playlists from the watch page using the “Save” button
Your scheduled public content is set to “private” for the penalty period duration. You have to reschedule it when the freeze period ends.
If you get a second strike within the same 90-day period as your first strike, you will not be allowed to post content for 2 weeks. If there are no further issues, after the 2-week period, we restore full privileges automatically. Each strike will not expire until 90 days from the time it was issued.
Third Strike
3 strikes in the same 90-day period results in your channel being permanently removed from YouTube. Each strike will not expire until 90 days from the time it was issued.
Note: Deleting your content doesn’t remove a strike. We may also issue a Community Guidelines strike on deleted content. You can learn more about when we retain deleted content in our Privacy policy.
If your Official Artist Channel gets a Community Guidelines strike, the channel will be suspended and become a standard channel. Learn more.
We want to help you stay on YouTube, so remember to do the following:
Learn about our Community Guidelines to make sure your content follows our policies.
If your channel got a strike, and you think we’ve made a mistake, let us know. You can appeal the decision here.
YouTube also reserves the right to restrict a creator’s ability to create content at its discretion. Your channel may be turned off or restricted from using any YouTube features.
If this happens, you’re prohibited from using, creating, or acquiring another channel to get around these restrictions. This prohibition applies as long as the restriction remains active on your YouTube channel. Violation of this restriction is considered circumvention under our Terms of Service, and may result in termination of all your existing YouTube channels, any new channels that you create or acquire, and channels in which you are repeatedly or prominently featured.

2.3 Forensic history
2.3.1 I have not seen a record of previous convictions recorded against her, but she reported the following to me, not in a good chronological order.
2.3.2 She said that on 30 November 2020, the police attended her home, “Beat me up, assaulted me, took me out half naked”. According to her, the police called the evening before to tell her she was required at the Walworth police station, for an interview on 1 December 2020. She said that she had a prior appointment that day, to do with her diabetes. She requested for another appointment. She told me that four officers visited, she thought they were there to listen to her argument. Holly Sweeney P255654 Nikki Wright P240060 Harry Stack P255641 Ben Godfrey P255842.
2.3.3 She said that she was charged with criminal damage to property. She was fined £50. (Tim Bittlestone)
2.3.4 She said that in January 2023, she was at home, it was her mother’s birthday, so she dressed up in her cultural clothes and was celebrating. She wanted to put all that had happened to her, behind her and move on, the police attended her home. She said that they made allegations that there was a report of an incident at her address on 10 January (Croydon Magistrates Court 3 Times. Caul Grant came to support US once).
She refuted this, she could not recall this happening. She said that one of the officers, went out and came back, and changed the reason why they were there. In the
Medico-legal report by: Dr B O Oyebode On: Ms Mervelle Ionie Myers (DOB 19/05/1959) 8
interim, she was issued papers telling her to attend Croydon Magistrates Court, if she did not attend, she would be arrested. She was given a date to attend Walworth police station for an interview. The next day, 27 January 2023, she went to Croydon Magistrates Court with her husband, nothing was listed. She asked questions, eventually, she spoke to somebody. She had to return to court twice after that. On the third visit to the court, no further action was taken, she was sent a document relating to her mental health.
2.3.5 On 3 February 2023, she said that she went to Walworth police station with her husband, she was represented by a duty solicitor, that was when she was told her neighbour returned from work at 1500 hours, heard screaming and shouting. The neighbour went to her flat, which is above hers (Mervelee Myers), opened her window, and she (Mervelee Myers) cursed her. She said that this is still being investigated to date.
2.3.6 According to her, both the neighbour and her male partner, have kicked her door, this started in November 2023, and is still going on. She told me that she called for assistance from the police the day the equipment was being installed at her home, for her husband to be discharged from hospital. The kicking of the door, she stated happened sometimes three times a week, she has reported to the police, and was provided CAD numbers.
2.3.7 On 27 February 2024, she told me that she called the police three times, because the kicking of the door was getting to her, no-one turned up. She was indoors, did not hear the communal doorbell ring, she then heard knocking on her door. She asked who it was, they said that it was the police. She opened the door, police officers were stood there. She thought because she had called three times, that is why they attended. She told me that some of the officers asked if she knew Arnold Tomlinson, her husband, she invited them in. She stood there waiting for them to come in, she saw one of the officers, put something at the door. She asked what it was, it was a battering ram, no-one answered her. She thinks four officers went into her property, maybe more, she asked for the purpose of their visit. She told me that she suffers with anxiety, she became anxious when she saw the battering ram. She was then told that the visit was about a video she posted online. She told me that she posted a video online because she blogs, she has signed up for a speaking event on 28 April 2024. She stated that, “I am expert authority on subjects from cradle to grave. So my tag line is early intervention is key to survival. Because I work with children”. She said that the video is there as part of her speaking engagements. The video was made in Jamaica, because her husband’s sister was going through a transition (dying), her husband’s niece, explained about her mother falling out of bed. She (Mervelee Myers) advised her niece that she has to safeguard her mother.
Medico-legal report by: Dr B O Oyebode On: Ms Mervelee Ionie Myers (DOB 19/05/1959) 9
2.3.8 She then said that in terms of sensitivity, she did not post the video until after her sister- in-law died. She told me that the police saw the video, and because of their perception of her, she does not know who is feeding the police the information. She said one of the officers asked if she remembered him, he then told her that he remembered her husband, because he had visited, when her husband and herself had a disagreement. At this point, I asked if there was domestic violence between them, and she said no. She told me that she chose to report the incident, as a means of safeguarding both of them, because her husband was traumatised after the death of her mother. Her husband raised his walking stick to hit her. The police eventually left, but she reported the matter.
2.3.9 She then said that in 2017, she called the police because she was verbally abused by two persons, one of them stole her manuscript, the other one, a barrister, was ordered to pay back the money he took from her, by the Court, as he did not represent her. According to her, the police did not act, stating that, “It was none of their business”.
2.3.10 She told me that on 30 October 2017, the police and ambulance turned up at her house to section her for a malicious report, that she wrote on Facebook that she was feeling suicidal. She told me that she arranged a meeting with the police at the police station, she wanted her stepson to be present. He was not able to join the meeting, which took place with her alone. The police did not come prepared. One officer said to her, that if she did not calm down, she would be placed in a straight jacket. She told me that she came out of the meeting upset, her stepson arrived later, he was waiting outside. She said that the stepson went back into speak to the police. She said that whilst waiting outside, a police vehicle pulled up, stating they received a report that someone was misbehaving. According to her, nothing happened further with the police. She said that her stepson was still talking to them. Nothing else happened with the police on that day.

The letter summarised her physical condition. It is of note that the letter stated that she admitted that she had an anxious personality and is certainly likely that many of the symptoms she described are related to that. The letter stated that in terms of her anxiety, she was progressing some counselling therapy, having been given contact details both via her GP and via work. The letter stated that it is hoped that some counselling treatment might help her understand what triggers her symptoms, help her to manage them, and help her to moderate how she reacts when becoming anxious for example the loud speech and the tremor.
2.4.8 Laura Tinsley, Trainee Counselling Psychologist, South London & Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust, Southwark Psychological Therapy Service, Middle House, Maudsley Hospital, London SE5 8AZ in a letter to the GP, stated that Mrs Myers attended a course of 12 counselling sessions and they had a final sessions on 26 February 2016. The PHQ-9 score on 10 April 2015 was 22 and the GAD was 7, the PHQ-9 score on 26 February 2016 was 5 and the GAD-7 score was 7. These are measures for anxiety and depression. The letter stated that Mrs Myers attended her sessions and engaged well throughout the course of treatment. The treatment focused on Mrs Myers depression, following her difficulties at work. Mrs Myers cause for depression and anxiety significantly reduced over the course of treatment as stated in the letter.
2.4.9 The plan and recommendations included an agreement that Mrs Myers did not require further treatment from SPTS at the time. However, Mrs Myers could always be re- referred or self-refer, if she required further treatment in the future.

She said that she had learnt to manage the anxiety, but it did sometimes affect her ability to write as she has a tremor in her hand. She, however, stated that this did not affect her work.
2.4.14 She reported that her depression seemed to have arisen in the context of a difficult period at work. She said that she felt unfairly treated and she could not understand how her colleagues had come to form their opinions about her.

The impact of this situation on her marriage, where Mrs Myers found it hard to cope as a result of being overwhelmed by the difficulties in her work life. She also said that this had affected some of her friendships. It was reported that Mrs Myers said that her family were her main support, but this was only over the telephone due to the distance between them.

2.3 Forensic history
2.3.1 I have not seen a record of previous convictions recorded against her, but she reported the following to me, not in a good chronological order.
2.3.2 She said that on 30 November 2020, the police attended her home, “Beat me up, assaulted me, took me out half naked”. According to her, the police called the evening before to tell her she was required at the Walworth police station, for an interview on 1 December 2020. She said that she had a prior appointment that day, to do with her diabetes. She requested for another appointment. She told me that four officers visited, she thought they were there to listen to her argument. Holly Sweeney P255654 Nikki Wright P240060 Harry Stack P255641 Ben Godfrey P255842.
2.3.3 She said that she was charged with criminal damage to property. She was fined £50. (Tim Bittlestone)
2.3.4 She said that in January 2023, she was at home, it was her mother’s birthday, so she dressed up in her cultural clothes and was celebrating. She wanted to put all that had happened to her, behind her and move on, the police attended her home. She said that they made allegations that there was a report of an incident at her address on 10 January (Croydon Magistrates Court 3 Times. Caul Grant came to support US once).
She refuted this, she could not recall this happening. She said that one of the officers, went out and came back, and changed the reason why they were there. In the
Medico-legal report by: Dr B O Oyebode On: Ms Mervelle Ionie Myers (DOB 19/05/1959) 8
interim, she was issued papers telling her to attend Croydon Magistrates Court, if she did not attend, she would be arrested. She was given a date to attend Walworth police station for an interview. The next day, 27 January 2023, she went to Croydon Magistrates Court with her husband, nothing was listed. She asked questions, eventually, she spoke to somebody. She had to return to court twice after that. On the third visit to the court, no further action was taken, she was sent a document relating to her mental health.
2.3.5 On 3 February 2023, she said that she went to Walworth police station with her husband, she was represented by a duty solicitor, that was when she was told her neighbour returned from work at 1500 hours, heard screaming and shouting. The neighbour went to her flat, which is above hers (Mervelee Myers), opened her window, and she (Mervelee Myers) cursed her. She said that this is still being investigated to date.
2.3.6 According to her, both the neighbour and her male partner, have kicked her door, this started in November 2023, and is still going on. She told me that she called for assistance from the police the day the equipment was being installed at her home, for her husband to be discharged from hospital. The kicking of the door, she stated happened sometimes three times a week, she has reported to the police, and was provided CAD numbers.
2.3.7 On 27 February 2024, she told me that she called the police three times, because the kicking of the door was getting to her, no-one turned up. She was indoors, did not hear the communal doorbell ring, she then heard knocking on her door. She asked who it was, they said that it was the police. She opened the door, police officers were stood there. She thought because she had called three times, that is why they attended. She told me that some of the officers asked if she knew Arnold Tomlinson, her husband, she invited them in. She stood there waiting for them to come in, she saw one of the officers, put something at the door. She asked what it was, it was a battering ram, no-one answered her. She thinks four officers went into her property, maybe more, she asked for the purpose of their visit. She told me that she suffers with anxiety, she became anxious when she saw the battering ram. She was then told that the visit was about a video she posted online. She told me that she posted a video online because she blogs, she has signed up for a speaking event on 28 April 2024. She stated that, “I am expert authority on subjects from cradle to grave. So my tag line is early intervention is key to survival. Because I work with children”. She said that the video is there as part of her speaking engagements. The video was made in Jamaica, because her husband’s sister was going through a transition (dying), her husband’s niece, explained about her mother falling out of bed. She (Mervelee Myers) advised her niece that she has to safeguard her mother.
Medico-legal report by: Dr B O Oyebode On: Ms Mervelee Ionie Myers (DOB 19/05/1959) 9
2.3.8 She then said that in terms of sensitivity, she did not post the video until after her sister- in-law died. She told me that the police saw the video, and because of their perception of her, she does not know who is feeding the police the information. She said one of the officers asked if she remembered him, he then told her that he remembered her husband, because he had visited, when her husband and herself had a disagreement. At this point, I asked if there was domestic violence between them, and she said no. She told me that she chose to report the incident, as a means of safeguarding both of them, because her husband was traumatised after the death of her mother. Her husband raised his walking stick to hit her. The police eventually left, but she reported the matter.
2.3.9 She then said that in 2017, she called the police because she was verbally abused by two persons, one of them stole her manuscript, the other one, a barrister, was ordered to pay back the money he took from her, by the Court, as he did not represent her. According to her, the police did not act, stating that, “It was none of their business”.
2.3.10 She told me that on 30 October 2017, the police and ambulance turned up at her house to section her for a malicious report, that she wrote on Facebook that she was feeling suicidal. She told me that she arranged a meeting with the police at the police station, she wanted her stepson to be present. He was not able to join the meeting, which took place with her alone. The police did not come prepared. One officer said to her, that if she did not calm down, she would be placed in a straight jacket. She told me that she came out of the meeting upset, her stepson arrived later, he was waiting outside. She said that the stepson went back into speak to the police. She said that whilst waiting outside, a police vehicle pulled up, stating they received a report that someone was misbehaving. According to her, nothing happened further with the police. She said that her stepson was still talking to them. Nothing else happened with the police on that day.

2.4.7 Dr Laura Crawford, Occupational Health Physician, Health Management, in a letter dated 29 April 2015 to Ms Dilys Epton, HR, London Early Years Foundation thanked her for referring Ms Myers to Health Management for occupational health advice regarding her fitness to work and the impact of medical conditions on work. The letter summarised her physical condition. It is of note that the letter stated that she admitted that she had an anxious personality and is certainly likely that many of the symptoms she described are related to that. The letter stated that in terms of her anxiety, she was progressing some counselling therapy, having been given contact details both via her GP and via work. The letter stated that it is hoped that some counselling treatment might help her understand what triggers her symptoms, help her to manage them, and help her to moderate how she reacts when becoming anxious for example the loud speech and the tremor.
2.4.8 Laura Tinsley, Trainee Counselling Psychologist, South London & Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust, Southwark Psychological Therapy Service, Middle House, Maudsley Hospital, London SE5 8AZ in a letter to the GP, stated that Mrs Myers attended a course of 12 counselling sessions and they had a final sessions on 26 February 2016. The PHQ-9 score on 10 April 2015 was 22 and the GAD was 7, the PHQ-9 score on 26 February 2016 was 5 and the GAD-7 score was 7. These are measures for anxiety and depression. The letter stated that Mrs Myers attended her sessions and engaged well throughout the course of treatment. The treatment focused on Mrs Myers depression, following her difficulties at work. Mrs Myers cause for depression and anxiety significantly reduced over the course of treatment as stated in the letter.
2.4.9 The plan and recommendations included an agreement that Mrs Myers did not require further treatment from SPTS at the time. However, Mrs Myers could always be re- referred or self-refer, if she required further treatment in the future.

2.4.12 The letter went on to state that she attended the surgery again on 29 February 2016 to discuss having a medical report done.
2.4.13 It was reported in a letter dated 8 July 2016 from South London & Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust Talking Therapies, Southwark, to Ms Myers, addressed to whom it may concern, that she attended 12 counselling sessions at Talking Therapies Southwark. It was reported that she stated that she has suffered with chronic anxiety since she was a child. She said that she had learnt to manage the anxiety, but it did sometimes affect her ability to write as she has a tremor in her hand. She, however, stated that this did not affect her work.
2.4.14 She reported that her depression seemed to have arisen in the context of a difficult period at work. She said that she felt unfairly treated and she could not understand how her colleagues had come to form their opinions about her.
2.4.15 The letter stated that over the course of treatment, the impact of her work situation was explored with her, and how it affected her.

She also said that this had affected some of her friendships. It was reported that Mrs Myers said that her family were her main support, but this was only over the telephone due to the distance between them.

3. Do I have to take part?
It is up to you to decide. We will describe the study and go through the information sheet, which you can keep. If you decide to take part, we will ask you to sign a consent form to show you agreed to take part. You are free to withdraw, without giving a reason. If you would like to withdraw from the study, please see section 13.
4. What will I be asked to do?
If you wish to take part, you will be asked to complete a questionnaire at the start of the Creative Arts activity you are participating in and another questionnaire at the end of the activity. Both questionnaires will ask questions about your current wellbeing and the second questionnaire will ask about your experiences of engaging with the Creative Arts project. Some questions will be repeated on both surveys – the questions are asked twice so we can see if there has been any change to your wellbeing after taking part in Creative Arts activities. We ask that you please complete all questions and be honest. Your honesty will help us improve future projects.
If you engage with more than one Creative Arts activity, you will be asked if you would like to take part in the evaluation each time you engage. You can choose if you wish to take part every time. Taking part once does not mean you have to take part again. Declining to take part does not exclude you from taking part in the future, if you so wish. You are welcome to take part multiple times.
5. Are there any risks if I participate?
There are no risks expected with participation in or because of this evaluation.
6. Are there any advantages if I participate?
There are no direct advantages or rewards as a result of participating in this evaluation. However, your participation will be a useful contribution and could help us improve the Creative Arts Partnership project.
7. Informed consent
Before you take part in any evaluation you will be informed what you participation will involve by reading this Participant Information Sheet. You will be given time to consider if you would like to take part in this evaluation. If you wish to take part in our evaluation, you will be asked to complete an online consent form to show you agreed to take part. The consent form must be completed before you can complete the survey.
8. What information about me will you collect and why?
We will collect your name, age, and postcode which you will need to input on a consent form before you can complete the survey. We need this information so we can match up your ‘before’ and ‘after’ surveys and assess if there has been a change to your wellbeing. Both surveys will ask you to share information about your wellbeing at the time you complete them, and the ‘after’ survey will ask you to share information about your perception of the Creative Arts project. We are collecting this data so that we can evaluate the project.
There is an optional section at the end of the ‘before’ survey which asks for your gender identity, if you consider yourself to have a disability, your age group, ethnicity, and employment status, how you were referred to the programme, if you are confident to manage your health condition/disability and your biggest worries. We collect this information so we can understand more about the people taking part in the Creative Arts project, if different groups of people have different experiences of the project and because the projects funders (including the NHS) require us to ask for this information. You are welcome to leave this section blank if you do not wish to provide this information. If you decide not to provide this information, this will not have any impact on your participation in the Creative Arts project.
9. How will my information be stored and how will you look after it?
Any data you provide will be anonymised. To do this, all participants will be given a unique code which will only be available to the researcher (Dr Faye Sayer) and university representatives. Only the researcher will have the key list which will be stored securely (via password protected documents, folders, and computer) separately from all other project documentation.
10. How will you use my information?
The information you provide will be used to evaluate the Creative Arts programme. You will be anonymous and not identifiable in any outputs (such as evaluation reports). Any information or quotes which can identify you will not be shared.
11. Will my data be sent anywhere else, or shared with other people or organisations?
We will not share your personal data (such as your name) with any third parties. We will share the anonymised findings of this study with Dulwich Picture Gallery, Tessa Jowell Health Centre and NHS South East London Clinical Commissioning Group (all located in the UK). The University never sells personal data to third parties.
12. When will you destroy my information?
All personally identifiable data will be disposed of within 3 months of the conclusion of this evaluation project. Non-personal data (such as anonymised data and general findings) will be kept for the duration of the project and 10 years after the project has ended to ensure monitoring, auditing and inspections are possible if required.
13. Data Protection Law
The way we look after your information is ruled by UK law. Under UK law, we need to have a very good reason for using your information (this is called a ‘lawful basis’). Sometimes, we might also want to use sensitive information about you, like information about your health, religion and ethnic background. This is called ‘special category information’. We collect all this information from you to help with our research, which aims to benefit everyone (this means that it is in the ‘public interest’).
You have the right to make choices about your information under UK law. If you have any questions or would like to ask us to do something with your information, you can ask the researcher or a parent or guardian, or someone else at the University. Contact details are shown towards the bottom of this document.
You can stop being a part of the study at any time, without giving a reason. You can ask us to delete your data at any time, but it might not always be possible. If you ask us to delete information before March in the year it was collected (e.g., if you completed the survey in January 2022, by March 2022), we will make sure this is done. If you ask us to delete data after this point, we might not be able to. If your data is anonymised (where we take out your name and any other information that lets us know the information is about you), we will not be able to delete it, because we will not know which data is yours. If you would like to withdraw from the study, please email Dr Faye Sayer (please see email address at the bottom of this document).
14. What will happen to the results of the research study?
The results of this evaluation will be shared with relevant stakeholders (including Dulwich Picture Gallery, Tessa Jowell Health Centre and NHS South East London Clinical Commissioning Group) in annual monitoring reports and an Evaluation Report at the end of the project.
Who has reviewed this research project?
University of Birmingham’s ethical committee has reviewed this research project.

1. HCT Group Impact Report 2016 statistic of 1 in 5 of all SUICIDES are associated with UNEMPLOYMEMENT used to TERRORISE me. When I refused to commit suicide my husband and I became 600.000 older people in the UK say they leave home once per week or less. The Police attempted to SECTION me on Winsome Duncan’s malicious reports 30th October 2017. Attempts to MURDER me to say I committed SUICIDE under cover of LEYF Margaret Horn Lecture.

The Story of Mervelee Myers BOOK that was signed by Metropolitan Police Commander Sir Mark Rowley at the launch of “A New Met for London”. In the presence of Nigel Pearce who I meet at Elim House in August 2023 and Seb Adjei-Addoh the first Black Commander of Lambeth and Southwark will be my arguments for District Judge Beecham to examine why MERVELEE MYERS MAKE YOURSELF MEMORABLE to #EndTenantsAbuse #SupportSurvivors #HearTenantsVoices establish #TenantsAbuseAwareness and stop HMCTS CPS CJS corruption in the cover up of MEDICAL GASLIGHTING and MISOGYNY of MALES against FEMALES. My brother Ervin Julius Emster Nembhard celebrated his 58th birthday on the 11th November 2024. The day he was born in 1966 my father handed him to me so my mother can rest after giving birth. Another person of interest is Mr. Tony Cealy whose “Theatre of the OPPRESSED Training” took me from the background I retreated using “WRITING as THERAPY” after my father was stricken with Parkinson’s disease.
