For some reason, I highly doubt JoarZ made any of this music.

Shoot him a PM and ask to see one of his FLP's. I'm pretty sure that it's all original.

Well, I think he made them himself, just probably has a similar style to artists like Alan Walker.

Double check with @BrokenDeck.

I can't detect anything personally. It will take someone with much more knowledge of EDM to truly sieve through all those songs.

Seems to just be an edited version, as the original song is audible in the background.

Seems like a sped up version of Dragon Fight by F-777 with a couple extra bits.

Same guy, contains copyrighted vocals. A lot of his other stuff is also probably stolen, and the stuff he actually made is probably ear rape judging by the scores on them. I don't have the time to go through all of his (or not his) stuff, unfortunately.

Seems like a MIDI rip on top of the orignal version at that

Thanks for letting me know. There are quite a number of songs I've had to remove on suspicion of stolen audio, songs with Sytrus synths slapped together with little or no effort, or outright ear rape-y songs. But not all his songs are stolen or liable for removal, just thought I'd let you know. I've slapped him with a ban.

Can we just IP ban anyone who uplaods Highscore? Thanks.

Account locked until I receive official confirmation that it is indeed PandaEyes.

Also, the user who scouted him without consulting here first also got a short ban. Which brings up another point!

If you see a popular artist sign up an account on Newgrounds, DO NOT SCOUT THEM AUTOMATICALLY!

Sadly, because of the high amount of impostors lately we can never afford to take it at face value. Triple check, or better yet, post a link here so an audio mod can take proper action if you have the slightest doubt.

What, you mean sockpuppets posting audio as different names?

No, people who just by looking at their profile you can tell they are 5.

Aa. Not sure what official staff policy is on this eh @BrenTheMan...

I guess I don't understand. Are you talking about a group of people who use one account? Like a band?

What he means is that if the user says he's a certain age but his mannerisms etc. clearly tell you something else.

Oh five years old...probably not much we can do until they start posting pics etc. of themselves like some of these real young kids do. We DO get a few parents emailing in to close their very young child's accounts.

@CamRaNG

In the future, try to ask questions such as this via PM, as we're trying to keep this thread as clutter free as possible.

Thanks-in advance ;)

Well, if you take a look at his Facebook page and scroll to the post "Just wanted to let everyone know that this Panda Eyes Newgrounds account IS NOT ME!...", look in the comments, he links to it in reply to a use named "Gmd Pineapple" as his official NG page, so it's probably the real thing. Here's a link to his timeline for you. https://www.facebook.com/PandaEyesofficial/timeline

The reviews all say it's stolen, and the user's description on his user page is that he loves geometry dash. I would reckon that all his audio is stolen, but I can't confirm anything. Anyone else want to look into this?

Song removed. Looking into his other audio now.

Don't delete just yet.
Check if it's by the original artist on SoundCloud

EDIT: I checked the soundcloud a bit after I posted this. It actually is by the original artist.

I got a PM back from his official FaceBook account. It appears to be the real deal.

Re-published his music and re-scouted

Yup, I checked it and one of the tags on the soundcloud is "Frequality" and "Newgrounds".

Awesome! We finally have Panda Eyes on Newgrounds! :)

I'm sure glad I had the urge to check his Facebook account once I saw that account reported. :D

Are you sure Pandaeyes is actually scouted? I tried to use Highscore and 95k in Geometry Dash, and it didn't work. :/

EDIT: Also, Deafkev ( the creator of the famous song "invincible") still isn't scouted as well. He has a legitimate account here. Here is his soundcloud page: https://soundcloud.com/atm-dubstep He linked his Newgrounds account there too, so this is real.

Please scout both Panda Eyes and Deafkev!
