No it was some lofi hip-hop song I posted.
Though a mod did notice my forum post (but not my appeal I sent for some reason).
So then I got a message from m bot saying that he deleted my audio file.
Which is probably the reason why I don't have a appeal or ban I think?
Idk.

Interesting. I don't even see another project file in the system for you. There IS a reverse search, so I'm sure there's a way to find out what happened. I'll take a look.

Replying my own post because editing won't tag properly. @TomFulp, do you know what happened here? There are no ban logs, files extant, and so on for this case. TLDR, I checked the post history -- he used the same samples as another song apparently, and his track was literally deleted.

@SugarSlash, if you have a copy of the appeal you received, or your project mp3 and the name of the song you were matched to, shoot @Pingu, myself, or Tom (if he replies to this) a DM with the related details. We'll look into it. The name of your sample pack will also be helpful.

What I think has happened is someone published a song with those samples to DSPs, and the copyright system matched to that. Sometimes people spam DSPs with unoriginal mashes of these sample packs to fraudulently earn a few pennies. In that case I will usually just approve the appeal, assuming the user put at least moderate effort into their submission and it isn't completely based on loops.

Weird, I don't see any unpublished project either. @SugarSlash this song was posted under your SugarSlash account? When you get an M-Bot message the song would typically be unpublished and we could still access it, so it's strange that it appears to be deleted completely.

Spend more time on it. Newgrounds is not obligated to give you a second chance so make your attempt as good as possible.

There's a new one btw, it's the last one I think (i may be wrong, in any case it's called "...is A New Beginning"), it's a fan-made sequel to Dimrain47 - Every End, and it's a lot better than the other ones imo (it's not finished though, this is an early version and it's a little outdated, i've added around 1 or 2 minutes more to the song since the last render, which is the one i sent here)

FLPs always available btw if you need them

Hi again, I finished "...is A New Beginning"! It turned out to be... how do I put this? A little longer than I thought it'd be, yeah, and uhh, it's 12 minutes. I don't know how'd I manage to stretch it for that long (it's around 4 minutes longer than I thought it'd be), maybe because I used 1 melody that Dimrain47 made (I'll credit him if you let me upload it), but idk. Anyways, here's the link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ffx4TcXsws5WFZ3qKYIgBTTCa4rgvMu_/view?usp=sharing

As I already said before, FLP's are always available if you need them, I'll send them as soon as I can. I'm really proud of this song tbh, and I would be really grateful if you unbanned me from uploading music. I promise that I will NOT upload any music that isn't mine, and if I use someone else's melody they will be credited in the author's notes (also, I've read some other posts on here about samples, I've also wanted to make some breakcore but damn I am scared of stock stuff now haha)

Edited to fix some typos and make my grammar a little better, because this is a very big moment for me tbh, this might or might not be a start of me not being atrocious at music. Maybe I'll even be half-decent at this haha

Hi Tom Fulp!
Also,
Yes It was posted under this account, though I don't really know what happened after I got the message. Mainly cause this all happened during the morning so I wasn't fully awake and forgot what happened lol.

This is the song I accidentally got myself copyright striked for. Now I know to not use samples

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.

That's crazy. Something a tiny bit similar happened to me. I hope a mod sees this and unbans you ^_^
