Yes. These cases require some pretty stringent review, unlike "my friend told me to upload"

There are legit genres like noise music, gabber, grindcore, terrorcore, and so on which to many will sound like ear bleeding garbage but are actually considered by many others to be pleasant, good music. I'll take a look at these and see.

Tom Jones - It's Not Unusual

Was listed in a review

Should also note that PizzaPieCircleJerk is popular in GD

It is? I would never know that. I just checked, and it turns out, only one level with that song is star rated. I'm sorry, all I'm trying to do is make sure no one gets deaf. I would have you play the part at 4:29, it's still loud, trust me.

Look what I found on GD. This is "Right Now" by Akon. And it was downloadable in GD. Well it was posted in 2010 (323369). Im pretty sure songs posted, even the stolen ones, before the 1.9 all work in GD. The ones after Nov 2014 won't work unless Robtop approves it.

2010 vs 2014, thats very old even for just 4 years

What the?! Why doesn’t it display the embed?!

Well anyway…

The maintenance that happened in the night to the 1st caused a few bugs. Most of them have been fixed by now. I already reported on it, so now all we can do right now is to wait patiently. (Playlists are affected by this as well, btw. I strongly suspect that both issues have exactly the same root cause, so fixing one will also fix the other.)

More stuff of "My friend made it and told me to post it"

All of them sound good, but the rule states, you can't post stuff that isn't yours, that also means posting stuff made by your friends and telling you to publish it

contains stolen audio.

oh, u already reported it

Hey, more the merrier!

Ok

NG Audio Mods, this user posted a distorted copyrighted song (from sonic the hedgehog)

Epic finds. Also a reminder, when you report any stolen/rule breaking songs here, provide a link to the original or tell us what the song is called, if the title is changed. I see though, you already mentioned, it was sonic. No need to just say "This is stolen" without the original reference. You can find any suspicious songs and post it here, but then it would be hard work for us, trying to find the original.

Sega - Green Hill Zone

Snooddood - HeartBeat

also are you quoting the mods, or can you somehow delet audio?

Razor Sharp by Pegboard Nerds

Running in the 90's by Initial D

Funny this was posted 10 ID's before SHK posted Death Moon Orig

Just why Orig

Orig

Fade (Not faded) by Alan Walker. There's another song posted by the same user, can't find it tho

Summertime by K-391

Still by Dr Dre

I hate the fact people steal these names... Orig in reversed

I heard this before, by Daft Punk. Can't remember where but the title easily states its not his

This is a cover (a shit one IMO) of the main overworld track from Super Mario World - this different enough to stay on the AP, or is it violating Guidelines?

I've found this strange rabbit hole of someone or multiple people reuploading Washing Machine Heart by Mitski, seemingly to be used in GD

this account seems to be the main perpetrator

It's really weird, because if you look at the faves of the song they reuploaded, you can also see other accounts that mostly ONLY have faves on that song specifically, some accounts even following other accounts that have ALSO posted that one song exclusively. These accounts are most likely alts, but I don't really know for certain. Honestly, I have no clue what's going on here, but I'm strangely fascinated by it. Why someone would go through this much effort just to use a song in their level? At least I think that might be their goal? Idk. Something freaky for sure.

Wow. That really is a lot... What they were doing really is the best way to get caught.

Talk about Streisand effect... ;3

I have seen comparable events and comparable users. While these people don't leave a written confession, you can make educated guesses by the use of tags, favorites, playlists, "fan"-accounts, and other "I like the smell of my own farts"-behavior that it is most likely the same person or somebody who acts so indistinguishable from the original uploader that any difference is a moot point.

From past experiences of "obsessive returnees" I can say that all of them stop after a while. Even the really, really stupid and obsessed ones get bored after a while. Once they have stopped doing this every day (or every day of the weekend), they give up being obsessive about it. Maybe they return after a few months, and make another try right afterwards, but those "returns" do not last long.

Maybe they will get the professional help they need one day; maybe they will find their end trying to win an argument with a train at full speed... Or maybe GD will be infected with a nasty virus by NG users who finally snapped... ;)

But that stuff is not our responsibility anymore. We are a community focused on art and artists - not a provider of free psychological support.

(The following is not so much aimed at you specifically but at the general audience.)

At some point in my life, I learned a very important mental skill: Moving on from "something on the internet".

There are many people who manage to make themselves miserable by caring too much about what is "business as usual" to those who see that stuff a lot. Just recently, I have seen a lot of users absolutely "lose their shit" over something that yes, was very disgusting and brought the FBI to the table - but one single user writing a single, understandable report or email about it, would have been enough effort to get exactly the same result.

I, too, can get angry or passionate about users who display behavior unbefitting of a well-mannered get-together (online or not). But after I write my report (or email) and hit "send", that matter is in good hands - but more importantly: It is out of mine.

Maybe I will stumble over the same account, doing the same sh-- "stuff" again. Maybe the account will be pushed into the big, digital shredder - feet first. Either way, it is not my decision to make. And, much more importantly from an ethical standpoint: It is not my "responsibility". I saw it, wrote a report, and then I did all that I could have done. Nobody could have asked more of me - not even myself. ;)

I hope this helps somebody.

I know exactly what you're talking about. I tried moving this thread on from the poster uploading child porn a few days ago, and got put on blast for it. Anyways, to avoid being a hypocrite:

This looks to be gameplay footage with some meme audio slapped on top - mind checking it further?

Update: mistook this thread for the Elite Guard Barracks, apologies for that

In case you were talking to me:

It also looks like that to me. If some kid with a Super Mario avatar made something that smooth but boring in their spare time and then put "that" audio over it (and at an ear-rupturing volume at that), I'd be really surprised. ;)

But... Strictly speaking, this thread is for Audio Portal-business. I am aware that I might have set a bad example with that tangent there and I'm not always discussing specific finds, but I think my remarks are topical enough.

(Addendum after you latest post: Thanks for noticing. ;) )

Also: At the moment, a part of our community is affected by a certain bug that prevents what I amateurishly call "NG-Boxes" from being displayed. You can still extract urls from a post by clicking "Reply" - but it's a chore.

(Just for reference: This is how your post looked like to me at the time of writing.)

I wanna infrom you that the last song is not Daft Punk, It "Treasure - Bruno Mar"

Cleared up the last round of reports. Just gonna put this here. Assuming you're working on your whistle, check out the rest of the accounts you report. I found quite a few that were missed!

Couldn't have said it better.

X-Files Theme song

Reported for Loud Screaming

First of the Year by Skrillex

I couldn't stand just leaving it alone, it's definitely suspicious. It only says For GD, the song title is his username, he only posted one song

Stolen from that old YouTube video which I saw years ago but can't find the video today. It was a synthesia video playing all the GD level songs during 1.9

Holding on by Monsters (Skrillex Remix)

Can't hold us by Macklemore

2:25 Orig

Hello by OMG

Orig

Couldn't stand leaving it alone. Definitely suspicious, says GD, has only 15 views for a song with professional singing, only one song posted by a user. This will be the last "Suspicious" song I'll add here. Im not sure if you want me to just drop down title changed songs without me knowing, and having someone else look or tell for me. For now, I just find the ones I know and flag them myself. Maybe we should make a possible stolen song thread?

Black and Yellow by Wiz Khalifa

All in by Fox Stevenson

guess that I found somebody that tries to reupload ta1lsd003 (G2961 remix)

funny thing is that this dude sped it up

This is not my remix, this is the original version. But good for you for finding it

I'm guessing this is ai generated. The sound quality is really bad; vocals sound strange; very strange mixing, gets randomly loud sometimes, I don't see what artist would want to express themself that way. The account also has no other activity.

no
