YouTube has lost the plot

 Around 3 years ago, I created a video introduction for our youTube video's, it is around 10 seconds long, and its simply the shows word Madhouse Gaming and Gaming Community, with the words saying welcome to the Madhouse, now this has been up for over 3 years, and is used on countless videos as our intro, there is also a unsubscribed version, so new people to out channel see this video to basically welcome them.

Three (3) days ago I received a email from YouTube stating that one of my videos has been ages restricted ( most of our videos are marked as not suitable for children ), so I was surprised thinking in my rush to upload and get a video ready for our Tuesday or Friday release dates I must have checked the wrong box, but I was wrong, they are clearly loosing the plot, when it it says is welcome to the madhouse ( its the bloody name of the youtube channel its written all over it ).

I have videos that I have forgotten to change the settings to make them as not suitable for children ( before youTube changed it's policy), that are clearly marked for children to watch, with swearing in, shooting, fowl language, gunplay, role play, some contain sexual reference from role play servers ( nothing extreme mind but not suitable to minors ) and yet these are fine, but a video that is only 10 seconds long and says welcome to the madhouse get blocked, I am unsure why, so I appealed this thinking there must be a mistake, but NOPE youTube sent me the exact same email today ( so that's twice in three days for the exact same email ), when I attempt to appeal this I am unable too, yet when I appealed the first time, I put the question why is this unsuitable for people under the age of 18, yet might I add that in the options for this video ( and 99% of our videos ) the option is this suitable to children is checked as "NO", so if this has already been checked why the heck have they been allowing children to watch it in the first place, I try to make sure that children are not watching my videos as they are for adult gamers, some I might add like the euro truck and american truck simulator series maybe suitable for children to watch, but even these I click on the option not to be suitable to children

Now I'd like to ask your views on this, have I just got it wrong or is youTube over policing their content creators to the extreme, as I have seen some videos that my grandchildren are allowed to watch and some of them are disgusting, and these I have reported to youTube and yet these videos are still allowed to be viewed by children as young as 4, 7 and 9 ( my 3 oldest grandchildren who have their own accounts with their proper dates of birth so youTube know their true ages and yet they are allowed to watch them, it does not make sense, if you feel as strong as I do on this subject pop a comment here, lets get this in the public domain, as IMHO I think they are ruining youTubers for small content creators like Gaming Madhouse, if I was a big youTube with 1000's of subscribers they don't care, and allow them to get away with anything as long as youTube makes it's money from them.

Post your comments, lets see if anybody else has had more or less the same thing happen to them or somebody they know.
