Allan {a.k.a. RocKITEman}

I am a former "Coastie" {US Coast Guard} living in northeastern North Carolina, USA. I am originally from Saint Petersburg, Florida, USA.

I am 'into' Rocketry and Kite Flying, especially "Kite Aerial Photography", or "KAP".

"Rocket Man" + "Kiteman" = "RocKITEman"

October 10th, 2022 // Monday → I 'edited' my YT nickname to match other social media platform[s] I am on. "Allan" is my real first name.

October 14th, 2022 // Friday
→ I edited my nickname again to remove the "_2001." I did this just to shorten the name somewhat, AND to again match other social media platform[s].

09 JANUARY 2025 // THURSDAY {P.M.} >>> Apparently posting "A.M.F." under a video is enough to get you a 24-hour comment ban under YuckTube's "Harassment and cyberbullying policies." 🙄🤦‍♂️

And THAT is presuming YT actually showed me the CORRECT offending comment.

30 DECEMBER 2024 // MONDAY {A.M.} >>> COMMENTS I AM POSTING UNDER OTHER PEOPLE'S VIDEOS ARE STILL DISAPPEARING AFTER I POST THEM.

*NUMEROUS* "Feedback" MESSAGES I HAVE GIVEN TO YT SEEM TO HAVE DONE NO GOOD...🙄

My YT Rating: 0 out of 5 Stars.

16 December 2014 // Monday >>> And ONCE AGAIN, it appears the comments I am posting under other people's videos ARE DISAPPEARING right after I post them.

This is not a "24-hour comment ban." I just had one of those, which I mentioned in my previous Community Note.

14 December 2014 // Saturday >>> FWIW: I just came off ANOTHER 24-HOUR COMMENT BAN.

However, this follows at least three multi-day sessions of comments I posted under other people's videos DISAPPEARING as soon as I posted them.

I I have no idea if this follows YT switching to A.I. {whatever}, but clearly Google -- as a "computer company" -- has still got some way to go...🤦‍♂️

02 September 2024 // Monday {PM} >>>
FWIW: It appears at least HALF of the comments I have posted under videos I have watched today, those comments DISAPPEARED after I posted them.

I have NOT gotten any kind of "Community Standards" violation warning at any time today, preventing me from posting comments.

UPDATE: As of yesterday afternoon {03 September 2024 // Tuesday} my comments APPEAR to be posting properly under other people's videos. I guess YT fixed the problem...which I find quite surprising, actually.

{This has happened AT LEAST twice before in the past few months. I STILL do NOT know what I specifically did in each instance.}

26 March 2023 // Sunday {PM} >>> I suspect I may be "shadow-banned" on this platform.

I watched two videos earlier today -- a livestream and a premiere -- and nothing I typed into the live chat on either got responded to by anyone else.

I also noticed when I tried to "remove" a mis-typed comment of mine in one chat the "Remove" icon would immediately disappear.

WTF...🤦‍♂️

23 November 2022 // Wednesday >>> FYI: I have two accounts here on YT. I just edited one to sort of 'sync-up' the names of the two.

This one is "Allan {a.k.a. RocKITEman}".

The other is now "Allan {a.k.a. RocKITEman_2001}."

That may make things MORE CONFUSING for everyone else, but to my ADHD-addled brain it is just about perfect...😉
