Correct, the auto-checker applies to unscouted users so you won't be flagged for your own music.

Ignorance is not an excuse, moreso considering that uploaders are presented several warnings about stolen music (and specifically for GD). Uploading stolen music "to use in a geometry dash level" is the reason this system is in place.

You are lucky your account wasn't deleted because you just admitted to breaking one of our primary NO NO rules...

Those bans are permanent. If you choose, you can request deletion by following the link at the bottom of your account management page.

okay, im curious how much this happens though cus it seems to happen enough, why not make it more obvious instead of embedding a little warning inside a wall of text, like i said its obviously my fault but the punishment of a permanent block is crazy, websites like youtube instead just block the upload if it infringes copyright, i understand thats soft but its just insane to me that a permanent ban is warranted for trying to upload audio that wasnt mine, not even trying to claim it was mine as i put the original song in the title and selected the all rights held thing

it was literally... LITERALLY... within the first 10 words of the page that you had to open to submit a rule-breaking piece

with a big bold, red, NOTICE

and then again we made it painfully, front and center, top of the page, right under the main terms of use, BOLD.......

this is the way that we enforce this rule violation

if you knew about the history behind the rule then you would see why we are coming down on you so hard
you are lucky that your account was not simply removed and you were even allowed to get to the appeal stage

There could be (and has been) a big honking image with "DONT STEAL FOR GD" on the upload page, but people still did it. In the end, Newgrounds doesn't exist to serve a mobile game, so now the system deals with most people automatically.

Most people get the message and move on.
