First strike: Mon, Jul 9, 2018 at 8:53 PM

Second strike: Mon, Jul 9, 2018 at 10:36 PM

Third strike: Mon, Jul 9, 2018 at 11:31 PM

The last / third strike came with a "Your YouTube account has been terminated" and any attempts to login or view any of my videos gives a page missing and the Google account associated with it doesn't even appear in any of my menus.

I don't really care that much it was a dumb joke channel I made to poke fun at how often profanity is used in rap music. The part I find pretty perplexing is that I _removed_ the profanity from the music and the channel was flagged for offensive content.

No recourse perma ban within 3 hours?

Sounds like a recipe for griefing.

Its great for griefing. Its also heavily automated, so the griefers can just work the system into doing it whenever they want.
Any chance that was actually a copyright infringement?
No they have a different process for this which prevented my videos from being monetized, which I wad fine with. They clearly break down the strikes and your account status in a page near the creator studio.
