What is a "personal site promotion"?
Yesterday I asked a question & posted a link with a YouTube site address for the video song to be heard. The site address didn’t work & if a person wanted to view/hear the song/video, they had to type in the word "El Duce sings"<<<This is exactly the same way it was posted on the YouTube site.
Since when is YouTube a personal site? Am I missing a link of my own or is someone just upset because they didn’t like the song or the man singing it?
IN THE FUTURE, How can I tell if the video is from a sponsored site or a personal site? It CAME from the YouTube website. I’m confused.
Can someone help me out with this?
I don’t need more violations when I’m just trying to share the lyrics to a song with the world.
The man, known as El Duce, singing the song is now deceased. He was the drummer for a defunct band known as The Mentors. It is rare footage showing another side of a misunderstood era in music.
Duce is pronounced Do-Cheh.

I wish I knew. There is a person here who believes that ANY link is a violation of community guidelines, which is clearly not the case. Were you violated by Y!A or were you reported by another member? You usually can tell by the wording in the violation notice. I think it’s ridiculous to delete someone’s question for such a silly reason. It’s not as if you’re advertising your own website or spamming. I would try to appeal this decision if I were you.
"Personal site promotion" is a new expression to me. When I see the name El Duce, I immediately think of WWII Benito Mussolini, aka Il Duce, which means leader and represents a Facist Italian leader during this war. After looking for El Duce, I see that his name was Eldon Hoke and the music was known as Rape Rock. Whoever reported this was most likely offended by the genre of the music and the reference to a WWII war criminal by a similar nickname, if one can call it that.
