I don't want to even upload the song, and it was unfinished anyway. can i please be unbanned and the song be removed? thanks for your time :)

Ban reduced. The song appeal will still remain in our records, but you will be in the clear. Let us know if you experience any bugs. You can ask around for music production software here in the audio forum. I recommend Reaper as a starting point. It has a nice unlimited trial. I also occasionally post music freebies in my news

Is there anywhere were it is explicitly stated that the song is in the public domain? Otherwise it's highly unlikely that the ban will be revoked.

So I started to publish a placeholder (just as a test) track for newgrounds and I selected the option (some samples are from other people) and without publishing, it just kicked me out and said that I was copying somebody.

The track I uploaded was created using LABS Virtual Instruments from Spitfire Audio. I can only imagine the flag came from the atmospheric sounds in the background (these were provided in their Tundra Atmos pack).

Obviously, if this is the case, I can upload a new version without the atmospheric sounds if needs be.

Made a mistake and uploaded the wrong file and didn't know stock samples aren't allowed. I closed the copyright case and added a mesage that I didn't know use stock samples wasn't allowed. By closing the case does this mean my issue won't be seen? Just unsure as I rushed it and assumed closing would then leave the appeal to the mods and I'd hear back or does it mean I have a ban?

Thanks

Yes, closing the case means it no longer needs review.

Stock samples ARE allowed if they are not copyrighted AND you make at least 50 percent of the composition yourself. I.e. I can use drum loops and a bass line but compose the rest of a track, keys, guitars, and solos myself, and that's fine.

Do note that sometimes a false positive happens even with this caveat because people release songs made of stock samples to spotify and other digital streaming platforms. Please be sure you only use royalty free samples and let us know if THAT happens.

You're upset that one of your songs was flagged by our scanning program, and want to come ask about it. To consolidate all the little threads which float in Where is/How to and Audio forums, we've created a collective spot to dump your grief.

To keep things moving along, make sure you have done the following FIRST:

If you meet the above criteria AND it has been a few days since you filed the appeal (greater than 3), post your case here and we'll look into it.

Keep in mind, we are sorting through all the appeals manually which takes time to do properly for all parties involved. This process can be hampered by not providing supporting material at the outset.

Be polite.

You've submitted rule breaking content across several Portals, and most of your reviews are low effort and make it appear as tho you'd like a ban there too. Maybe those were mis-clicks too. You show no sign that you want to have fun, enjoy Newgrounds, and be a productive member of the community. You're on a reduced audio ban. Your request is declined.

Do better in the future, and maybe you won't be banned here, and on Steam.

My main concern here is I may have goofed and closed the appeal on my end accidentally. What should I do?

I've been unable to find the AI tagged song despite searching. I've reopened your appeal. What you can do now is thoroughly lay out where your samples came from, if they are royalty free, and approximately how much of the song is your own work, versus how much of it is loops and samples. Be specific about which elements you composed yourself or wrote. We have a semi-strict rule that 50% of your submission should be your own production, composition, and arrangement.
