Hello YouTube me & Many Creators on the YouTube creator space would agree. We should have access to banning BadActors from our channels.
How this works?
• Banned User: Can't Mention Channel
• Banned User: Can't Subscribe To Channel
• Banned User: Can't See, view, or search it
• Banned User: Cannot Comment Or Post it
How this works in detail?
To simplify. if (YouTuber) banned (BadActor) A URL link or @ mention "Usually" Is highlighted blue & clickable (If banned) They become "unclickable" for (BadActor) As Well As (BadActor) getting "Unsubscribe" & additionally (BadActor) won't be able to view/See (YouTuber) No search, No additional ways on platform complete ghost.
Why is this helpful?
BadActors (Post On Their Channels) & directly @ mention to bypass (hide from channel) restriction that stops their comments "utterly worthless" Even after (block button in notifications) for their Channel is pressed (It Still Shows) This update suggestion is not just useful It's Perfect (criminals & BadActors) Need to be (Fully Removed) from any contact this is like a digital restraining order. Creators deserve their own (Peace Of Mind) Remove Bypasses. Protect your creators. YouTubers & people do you agree?!
*If you agree let me know down below - Also help me by spreading the word. Tag Twitter @teamYouTube & publicly share this everywhere - Make this ideal and update and make the update a reality*
By May 19, 2026, the Take It Down Act mandates that platforms implement "reasonable efforts" to prevent the re-upload and spread of non-consensual AI sexual content. If YouTube fails to provide a tool that lets a victim "hide themselves" from a known harasser, they are failing the "reasonable efforts" test of the Act.
