Community Strike Vs Block?

4.1BRAINROT SCORE

COMMUNITY STRIKE— ORIGIN, MEANING & USAGE

community strike A penalty a platform, most often YouTube, records against a channel for violating its Community Guidelines; strikes bring temporary limits on posting and repeated ones can end in channel removal.

Origin:YouTube's help page states that a first violation is usually only a warning, a first strike blocks uploading and other posting for one week, a second strike within 90 days blocks it for two weeks, and three strikes in the same 90-day period may lead to permanent removal. Each strike lasts 90 days, deleting content does not remove it, and severe abuse can mean termination without a warning. Copyright strikes follow a separate system.
