Also please note: slides do not correspond to itemized text. Text is an edited and much extended version of what we prepared as Tweet-to-Ben 'tweet thread' as an informal text to Ben, with all relevant information; while slides were prepared 22-26 December 2017 to accompany 2nd appeal to youtube as a slideshow (with included 2 short screen capture videos; 2nd appeal was instantly rejected). On January 4 we also tweeted a shorter Tweet-to-Ben thread which has another informal information now also included here. Aditonally, there is a Happy New Year Santa's video address to Ben https://twitter.com/multfilmytv/status/949897643735552000 , tweeted on January 7, 2018, after we learned how to post videos at Twitter.
Letter to Ben, Youtube Trusted Flagger
1
Dear Ben, please help us to get my daughter Nastya channel youtube.com/user/multfilmytv back. Channel popular videos are Nastya lessons on ballet, gymnastics, ballroom dance and figure skating played with dolls and associated stories, based on Nastya's 10+ years of these classes; she is now 16. Also, Nastya was opening new dolls for her classes while I did doll shopping
2
As Nastya is at pre-graduation year of High School, she is more busy with studies. As we live separately, this playing dolls was/is our great time we spent together. Nastya's little income that channel generated recently become a great stimuli and learning for her on how creativity can become her business, although she wants to become a doctor and also serves as an assistant of an ambulance doctor as a public service volunteer, an obligatory class in israel's final two years of High School (Ambulance assistant is most difficult of a number of other possibilities, like eldery caregiver and fireman or policeman assistant, that do not require speciality exams, as ambulance assistant does)!
3.
To help Nastya's channel I did daily livestreams for our viewers-friends, and become at youtube known as "Papa Nastya", exactly as it was several years ago in real life, when I every day met Nastya after junior school (grades 1-6) to bring her home to mom house. All school called me also "Papa Nastya" and still calls when I meet kids at a street.
4.
As a scientist, I consider myself (and wish Nastya takes it alike) an author, not blogger. I saw in Nastya improvised play with dolls great stories for girls. I started to write a book about a girl who make dolls alive, just like Pinnochio of 21 century, for girls. Early chapters were devoted to describing a story of girl who will make dolls alive, and how she grew. Then i realised it will be a trilogy, with Book 2 devoted to ballet and gymnastics doll stories, that Nastya already told a year ago in her videos which are original stories with no script). Book 3 of trilogy will be gymnastics and school stories by friends-subscribers of our channels, told at livestream chats (several stories already were written, and one just re-published at this blog in English, so you can read it, here http://multfilmydljadevochek.blogspot.com/2018/01/princess-eny-fairy-tale-of-multfilmytv.html#english - While editing Google translation I was once again amazed of a depth of our friendly communication with the audience during livestreams). This is why it was important to have accurate chat screens, and therefore when it failed running we had to reload livestream chat; this could be a problem of December 18, a moment before channel suspension (see below).
5.
Making text from Nastya video/voice is a long procedure, that I do in order to turn her play to on-screen reading like video book. Plus I started to write short story on each of Nastya episode, so, we turned to 1 original Nastya video in 2 weeks. So, to keep channel active I made livestreams.
6.
I spent all my spare time on this, as the audience liked it: we wrote and published live poems, songs lyrics; learned to use youtube (making channel home page,creating playlists, how to make videos better, like camera placement, lights, sound, stage, props, etc); read fairytales, sung songs; made props for dolls,celebrated friends birthdays, played building toys.
The following slides 7 to 15 explain what happened on Sunday December 17. Please note that slides and text do not go together: itemized text is an in-depth informal information about our channel that we would like to share with you, Ben!
7.
Also, we recently started a drawing show with Nastya classmate Masha: she draws Frozen princesses, not so good in fact. But my idea was to awake our viewers' own creativity with Masha example, and teach kids to convert their drawings to vector graphics, how to animate it and make cartoons.
8.
Researching Youtube analytics we realised we should livestream all day long on Sundays, so, for the 1st time ever, on Sunday, December 17 we had 9 livestreams, all original: editing new Nastya video live; singing our songs; testing hi-fi sound to get great automatic captions (accomplished) while reading fairytales about viewers. Great captions we need to speed authoring process, as our original story telling during livestreams would yield accurate automatic captions, that we could download from youtube as a captions file (this is standard youtube feature) and have near ready story text to be published elsewhere!
Note to slide 8: As I should talk to viewers on the problem of firefox not responding, all followup events including firefox session restore should be recorded as a part of one of our livestreams of Sunday December 17, and can be found/viewed by youtube staff; it is in Russian language, however.
9.
What happened on Sunday & Monday 17-18 December 2017 we describe in slideshow video (at top of this publication). As noted above, we made this video to supplement 2nd appeal, we did not know one "can not appeal 2nd time".
The problem with Firefox browser session restore was not included in 1st appeal
10
In 1st appeal (see image of item 17 below) we wrote about 1. Many (total 9) livestreams on Sunday December 17. I thought that little change of description, title and no change of thumbnail could be a problem, 2. that in chat I invited our viewers to see our latest drawing video by Masha, as in that video we included...
11.
...a guess game of what will be inside a kinder surprise egg that we would open in 2 days at our next drawing session with Masha. I stupidly called it contest although guess game is more accurate definition. We will stop doing this to be safe!
Note to slide 11: above slide is a static image of our test of Firefox session restore! When viewed as a video slideshow at top of this publication or at our Facebook page, you will see superimposed image of the same Windows/tabs of Firefox before it was closed because of electricity outage
12.
Also during one stream on Sunday December 17, we wrote/posted at community tab of our channel home page a post on how to engage our audience, as I often saw viewers just do not know what to do. So, we invited them to watch Nastya videos, comment, like/dislike and share, so active viewers are added to a list of Honored Audience at Channel home (Above channels recommended by Youtube; we will revert this section to our best friends who become friends just because of our friendship at livestream chats and comments for videos)
13.
Only after channel suspension we thought the above items may be a problem. We never broke youtube rules, and never thought of doing so! Oppositely, I teached our viewers to respect rules, and explained many things, ex: that quality comment or like is after video is watched, not before!
14.
After 1st appeal reject, we wrote to partner support and got a reply saying a reason for channel termination is the use of automated systems like robot, spiders to gain viewers, etc., that is item 5H of Youtube terms of Service https://www.youtube.com/t/terms?internalcountrycode=US . Then I recalled accidental problem with Firefox session restore functionality on December 17 that could be misunderstood by youtube as robotic activity.
Note of January 7, 2018, for the above slide 14: This 2nd PC is still on (since December 17, and probably for some time before that date); now it has disconnected network cable (see yellow cable to photo left down), but since December 17-18 still has all tabs in two firefox windows, including 11 youtube channel screens (opened one at a time to do routine channel work, just like different documents at a editor's desk). Which screens are opened and for what reason reviewed in a screen video of December 31, 2017, here https://www.facebook.com/multfilmytv/videos/1648083298585062/ )
15.
It is bad I did not notice possible strike on Sunday, December 17! We did not get any email about it, and we did not check our Channel info, despite I noted we were kicked out of this channel on 2nd computer (shown on previous slide).
16
Note: Nastya channel was created by Nastia's brother when Nastya was below 13. Brother got a number of his channels (building toy lego videos, simple cartoons on English, French and Russian Alphabet, etc, public show for kids in our town) suspended in June 2017. He never broke Youtube rules and decided not to appeal as this termination killed his trust in Youtube. His only explanation was that his channels were closed of inactivity as he was studing for a degree in University, and did not produce anything for long.
After this, brother transfered the ownership of youtube.com/c/multfilmytv to Nastya, as it was truly nastya's channel, but we did not find option to disconnect this channel from brother. To access Nastya's channel we use her Google account login! Nastya does not have any suspended channels. And we never broke any youtube rules. Oppositely, at livestrems I teached our audience to respect youtube rules, explained possible problems with other creators, so, our friends will be aware this does not happen with them.

1st appeal text is provided as a submit screen screenshot attached, it refers to our screen capture video recorded the same night December 18-19, this video is now at facebook, here https://www.facebook.com/multfilmytv/videos/1647103942016331/ with 8 minutes summary at time 18min30sec and 3 min summary at 26 min18sec

Appeal 2 was submitted December 28 and instantly rejected as one "can not submit appeal 2nd time". 2nd appeal text is attached as image below:
...and there are just two slides left:

Ben, thanks for reading this letter and following both story lines, of slides (perhaphs via embeded video at this letter top) and itemized text. We appreciate your help in restoring Nastya's channel. When/if channel is back, as a daddy, I won't impose any further risk to Nastya's MultfilmyTV, and will just help her to make her stories published as video and sholarly text, a kind of Pinnochio of the XXI century, for girls.
Here are several images with the testimony of our friends on what our channel means for them.
By Polina:
By Nastya (a girl, having the same name, as our Nastya):
By Zulia:
and by Sabina:
Another girl, Eny, is a bit delayed, perhaphs because of New Year Holidays till January 11, on a post soviet part of the Globe. Eny is hero of fairy tale based on her story told live at chat and viewers-friends conversation at chat, live http://multfilmydljadevochek.blogspot.com/2018/01/princess-eny-fairy-tale-of-multfilmytv.html#english , several more are written, read live as abed time stories, but still await publication to be preserved for future)
Also, here is a a chat screen of December 16, when one of a viewers, a girl Vickey as a cartoon character was singing our song Mama to her mom, who often watches live streams with her daugther. As Vickey told us in chat her mom was crying of happiness during that livestream of December 16!
Here is our hand written lyrics of this song, written live, during livestream on Wednesday, February 1, 2017, 18:50-19:08. For this and other songs written live at youtube we use the same melody of 19 century nursery rhyme lullaby Hush a Bye Baby, https://www.loc.gov/item/sm1884.21917/ that we perform ourselves, on synthesizers (and yet get claims!). It is my belief (based on song writing by Nastya few years ago) that to teach kids to openly express their emotion and feelings one melody is enough!
...And here is a lyrics of song about summer, on the same melody, assembled live, from original phrases of viewers posted at chat, during livestream at 13 August 2017, 20:18-20:56, i.e. in 38 minutes. Notes on left and right indicate that to this song lyrics contributed Saina Z, Vitalinka T, Miss Vikusia, Alina S, and Miss Arina. Several other girls' writing did not fit the melody easily and were not included in the song:
This illustrates why we need accurate chat live, and explains why we had to reload live chat when it stoped running, as happened on Monday December 18, a moment before our channel suspension!
We will be happy to provide additional information upon your request
Sincerely,
Alexey (Papa Nastya), for Nastya K
