I have tried to report it on the video itself but nothing is being done,mis there a more serious way?

Let the individual concerned take legal action? Google (Youtube's owners) understand money best.

It may discredit someone, but are they telling the truth?

Does the video breach any of Youtubes's Community Guidelines - e.g. on Harassment and cyberbullying?

See: https://www.youtube.com/yt/about/policies/#community-guidelines

Your report will probably be more successful in getting Youtube's attention if you tell them the exact community guidelines that are being breached (rather than simply saying it discredits somebody).

I have done all that, filled in the forms but the video remains

How to go about this please?

Is there anybody I can get in touch with, any link?

Contact the individual it discredits. Ultimately, it's their business, not yours to deal with. Why are you so bothered about it?

It usually takes time before youtube takes action and at times the response is based on the number of people that reports the video. The more the number of reports they receive the faster they take action

Thanks I keep reporting as hateful and abusive.

But it’s still there.

Are there any organisations that can help wit slander online?

You keep reporting, so thats just 1 report. You can report it as often as you like but its the number of unique users that counts.

Create 10 accounts from the same IP or 10 newly created accounts register and complain the system knows something fishy has gone on.

Is it hateful and abusive or the truth that someone dislikes?

Your original post, just says it discredits someone. Thats easily done without being abusive or hateful.

I could say my local plumbers an idiot and about as useful as a leaky washer. He doesnt have a right to stop me saying that, especially so if its true.

If somebody shows personal address in a video that is trying to discredit somebody surely that is illegal?
