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


I do not want to discourage efforts in this regard, and it is amusing that it's one of @G2961's works, but I think any discussion about determining "guilt" and the exact title stolen is a bit moot when the mini-description (which shows in the "embedded NG-boxes" as well as the search) reads "hopefully its not copyrighted". ;)

They make it painfully obvious that they never read rule #1: "You must be the owner and creator of the work you are submitting."

I lack expertise in this area, but regardless of "stolen or AI", and other typical telltale signs of somebody not knowing what they are doing... It "sounds like a mess"! Even in nobody who knows how to report submissions on NG had ever laid eyes on it - I highly doubt that thing would ever have made its way into GD...

I hate that typical representatives from that "community" do not communicate. Others could have told the account holder "no chance in hell" or "have you ever heard of polish?", saving everyone the trouble...


(Sorry if I sound "a bit" too annoyed at the moment. I just re-read a certain part of the description of CLOUDS DIVIDE (PENULTIMATE MIX) and it's people like those two uploaders that make it hard for me to remember that I do not hate everybody...)

Weak list but I found something today

Reported for loud music

Loud music

I have a question about flagging.

If you're reporting an EXTREMELY loud song/piece of audio, which one of these options should you click?

At 1:27 I heard an artifact that distinctly sounded like AI to me. The overall thin quality of the vocal seemed to correspond with stem separation artefacts as well. In any case, it's clear the person didn't actually make this, or they would have, you know, put a bit more effort into their profile and description.


The subject matter also screams AI to me. But this was so close to human sounding sound quality, I'm legitimately concerned.

Exactly what BlueMonday1984 suggested. ;)

(I take far too long for these replies...)


I'd like to add something, though: Actual people with thoughts and feelings read those reports. As long as you include a line about your reasoning that a person who has read the rules could understand, you're good. If you're uncertain about how loud is "too loud"(?), include that uncertainty.


I recently wrote a bit about uncertainty in reporting that you might also find useful.

Hardly. ;)

I write "stuff about NG" on NG. Many people did so in the past and many will do so in the future.


I think the three things that stand out about my writing style in this regard are the weird typos, that I use links, and that I cannot shut up to safe my own life once I start talking about something - because I want to ensure "all of those important details" are in there. It's "probably" pretty taxing for those who discuss with me in earnest. (Shout-out to @CrimsonKero who had to endure the latter every now and then and still resists the urge to send me poisoned birthday cake or something...)

It's no big deal. This is kind of the grey area where I can understand why someone would think it breaks the rules.


The distinction for rule breaking is this: loud and painful to listen to -- because they think it's funny to hurt your ears.

You are correct, I actually noticed he posted more than once as soon as I found this, but I couldn't find the original in which you found it for me. I hate having other people check the songs for me because it's a lot of work for them. I'll note myself to next time, check their accounts
