Comment on YouTube comment deletion is out of control, can't say anything anymore even when completely sensible. Is there a text format (alternate characters) that allows you to bypass detection?

  It seems completely logical to me. I’m looking for a solution to the issue. Trying to ascertain the exact content being removed is irrelevant to solving the issue.

    My car is having a problem. I need a solution.

    What problem is it having?

    That is irrelevant.

      Or like

      “Does anyone know how to silently pick deadbolts?”

      “Uh, why do you need to do that? Is it your house?”

      “Look, I just need to know how to do it.”

        So let’s take that example (and of course wanting to be able to comment completely normal things without them being deleted is not as extreme as trying to pick a lock, but close enough).

        What if the person wasn’t able to share exactly why they needed to pick a lock, but they gave you some information pointing to what it was, and asked you to trust that their intentions were pure and they weren’t doing anything wrong?

        Would you still refuse to help them?

        Obviously this is a hypothetical, and I gave given multiple examples already of the types of harmless comments that get deleted, but people still refuse to even consider the possibility of helping me.

        Inb4 downvotes, because that’s how this is going, downvote me for no reason without explaining why, or for reasons that make no sense.

        Well that example actually makes sense. It demonstrates that you don’t necessarily need to know the specifics in order to help, you just want to know. What the commenter you were replying to was a completely disingenuous comparison.

      I can't believe you would ask them about their car like that, truly way over the line and you must be a terrible person, just because it's absolutely essential information gives you no right to go prying in their business like this, etc etc etc

      (as much as I hate "/s"... /s.)

      This is a false equivalency. I’ll try to spell it out clearly.

      I’m looking for a character format (a type of alternative text characters) that doesn’t get removed.

      It’s not necessary to know what content is being removed in order to suggest a character format that doesn’t get removed.

      So I don’t know why you’re so focused on trying to determine what the content is when it actually is irrelevant to the question I’m asking.

        I’m pretty sure people are focused on what the content is because they have reservations about helping someone bypass filters to post stuff that may be offensive enough to be deleted in the first place.

        Not many possibilities, are there? People substitute letters with number or punctuation that look like the letters, use various homophones, or split up words with punctuation. Maybe you could try translating your comments to Greek or Romanian.

      I said what the problem is. Comments are getting deleted. And I’m specifically asking if anyone knows a character format that doesn’t get removed. You don’t need to know what content is being removed in order to suggest a character format. I don’t know why you’re not understanding this.

        I don’t think the rest of us have had this problem to the extent that we know a special character format.
