I see the ban on the history but no record of an appeal. Was it your drum loop submission?
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.
