Thanks, both!

As a reminder to everyone who helps keep the AP clean in here, it's now possible to flag audio from the audio page itself to bring it to our attention. Please be sure to enter as much relevant info as you can, as you would do in this thread. As a bonus, using that system you get whistle points (and thus a shinier whistle status) when audio you flagged is removed. That said, we'll obviously keep watching this thread.

Do you still get whistle points if the audio mod takes it down before the report is checked?
For example, i flag submissions and then post them here. Would i get whistle points when the submission is taken down or not?

Sorry if this sounds stupid, i just really want a bronze whistle ;3;

If it is flagged, then later removed, everyone who flagged it gets whistle points.

Mods; I feel you're super unappreciated. I think you're doing a great job, all of you. <3

So true!

I thought about something that could be done to resolve the GD issue.

GD creator makes money with his game. So he could host a kind of GD audio dump from where all the songs for the game are coming from. There could be songs from NG, or songs uploaded on th GD dump by GD users without passing by NG. If a NG user wants his song featured in GD, he makes it available on the GD audio dump (There could be a checkbox on each audio submission if the composer wants it to be available on GD or not). The game creator would be responsible for stolen songs featured on his game. AND, there would be no more (Or a lot less) usurpers trying to upload stolen songs here. AND NG users would still be able to make their original songs available for the game. Everyone is happy.

We just need GD creator to get his own GD audio dump, and a check box on our own audio to make it available or not on GD levels. Wouldn't it be nice? :D

Response to Audio Portal Cleanup 2016-05-20 03:51:22 (edited 2016-05-20 03:51:55)


What I've been thinking lightly of is like a "mini-mod" rank in the audio portal; where you could blam or save songs. If a song gets like 3 blams but no saves it's automatically removed. This would lighten the workload for the mods. However it could be easily abused, so that's why I said it has to be a new rank. If anyone could blam or save songs things would go out of hand pretty quickly...

Per author comments. Still, @Enzo07, you should post some description as to why you're posting a link. Otherwise, we'll be asking the same question. Also, it shows noobs the correct way to report things here. ;)

Maybe I should take that lesson to heart too. My reports often look like this:

Hmm.. Seems like this "remix" is just a song with some effects on top.

Ban if someone scouts it.

Going through the unscouted artists list...

Stolen from Keyblade.

Description says it's not his.

Stolen from TheMusikage.

The description flat-out links the original...

(just for reference)

Stolen from Stonebank.

Stolen from... Spongebob?

How low can you possibly go?

Blah.

Blah. Also description says it's for geometry dash.

Blah.

While not necessarily stolen, this contains the original song

(Arkona/Аркона - Yarilo/Ярило)

in the background.

Ditto.

http://hanupo.newgrounds.com/audio

Bit suspicious, YT and soundcloud don't link back to newgrounds, but his YT only has 2 subscribers...

Don't take this down yet, i've asked him if this account is legit or not and i'm waiting for a response.

Stolen from DJ Derko.

Description says it was taken from Dance Dance Revolution.

Stolen from De-Strad.

Ditto.

Stolen from N&S.

Given the listener and follower counts on the soundcloud, I see no particular reason to suspect this is a fake account.

That said, don't ask people on Newgrounds if their account is legit. If they are faking it on NG, they have absolutely no incentive to tell you they're faking it, and their word is worthless. if at all, ask them on the other sites.

Giant list of correctly identified stolen stuff

Wow, that's one hell of a list! They've all been removed and banned, save for the one quoted above. Thanks muchly for your work picking this out!

Legit, responded to my comment on youtube saying that it was him. I'd say that's enough proof.

This makes me cringe even more because the guy who uploaded it creates impossible levels in GD and hacks them.

16 out of 17 of his songs are stolen.

I'll go over the songs i didn't flag:

Couldn't find the source. This is definitely stolen, but i have no proof.

Couldn't find the source. It's a remix of some kind,

it has samples from this song.

Don't know any of the songs in here. It's definitely stolen though.

BrokenDeck said that XeNone's songs are blatantly stolen from other artists and put under his own name,

But this:

Stolen from: Bejeweled 3

Well.. no one has ever stole a Bejeweled song to newgrounds before...

It seems the song has been taken care of; I've given the user who scouted him a short ban too.
