When a couple of our items were brand hijacked a couple years back, Amazon hit us with 1st a warning for tampering with a listing and then a violation for tampering with a listing. We got the listings fixed … took 4 months to do that … but the warning and violation stayed on our account for 2 years before they dropped off.

I may be skating on thin ice with my response on that post, but some (most) days I just can’t resist the urge to hit Amazon upside the head.

I remember your posts about that unfortunate situation, both here in the ASF, in the OSFE, and in the NSFE.
I’ve opined this a time or more before before, and it sadly appears that I’ll be saying the same `til the cows come home:
Amazon has simply become too big for its britches.

The acronym “ASF” is ‘Dogtamerese’ for “Amazon Seller Forums” (to be fair, I didn’t coin it, but there’s no disputing the fact that I’ve bandied it about for many years, in various iterations over there of the actual Amazon-supported fora, AND here in the SAS).
It may also not be gainsaid that I’ve spilt no little amount of ink in opining that the SAS ("Sellers Ask Sellers) Forums IS the “BEST Seller Forums Experience” (‘BSFE’ is the acronym in ‘Dogtamerese’ - which, by all available lights, I did coin (link).
Given that I’m so far advanced into my dotage, I am hopeful for forgiveness from our Seller Community over my error in using “ASF” rather than the appropriate “SAS” in the above-quoted post.
Freudian Slips abound…

Next week’s (072924 - 080124) scheduled “Ask Amazon” vents Events - for a heretofore unprecedented four back-to-back days - might well provide some cannon fodder for the SAS’ ever-entertaining “Lighten Up” (link) thread:

I need separators! 
That reminds me of Alexa, when she tells me that a particular radio station is “One thousand one hundred and fifty” on the dial.

The OP, in reply to a query in that NSFE discussion from the SAS’ own @Brigitte, has posted a screensnip of the snotty reply:
UK Brand Registry Support, to be sure, but still no excuse for this in any of Amazon’s Global Marketplace Regions, methinks…

Wow, just Wow.
In our company for 35 years every one that ever worked for us gets the same speech.
I look at them with a dead pan face, and my black eyes. In my best Morgan Freeman Voice, I say, “We never ever make mistakes…”
At this point many “candidates” get a bit concerned.
I take a long pause at this point…
I then say, we learn from those mistakes. You will be wrong from time to time, it is a learning experience. I do not care what it cost us, the value of that mistake is priceless.

Just a few hours in, on the first day, and the cannon fodder is already piling up:

Looking at the first few responses there, my first thought was that they were all from the same person. Some hit within minutes of each other.
The “Hi hope your day well” crowd.

I don’t necessarily believe that those initial posts are all from the same entity, because I’ve monitored a good deal of chatter about this unprecedented event in various discussion venues over the last week or so (I’m a firm believer in adhering to the concept underpinning the time-worn phrase “Know Thine Enemy”).
Still, I take your point about the “Hi hope your day well” crowd; that’s one of the several reasons why I’ve so-long rather-vociferously (and on occasions quite-vituperatively) railed, in regards to so-many aspects of its never-ending unintended consequences, against Amazon’s GEI (“Global Expansion Initiative” in ‘Dogtamerese’).
If one does not command at least a modicum of skill in communicating in the Language of Preference in any given Marketplace, ain’t no online translator, or an AI implementation such as ChatGPT, gonna help you lift yourself up by your own bootstraps.
