I still don't have the ability to get scouted by other users after I explained my case with the edgeration stuff. Can you look into this please?

Scouting issues isn't what this thread is for, but you had been pruned by staff. You can message TomFulp if you feel he was incorrect in his judgement.

Hey, I got banned because of my foolishness to not read the rules of samples and loops and it was totally my fault.
and since I am new to posting I closed the P-Bot message which closed my appeal.
My samples were ripped from 3 other songs and were almost identically arranged to the way I arranged the song I made.
I promise never to use samples again, could I re open an appeal?
https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/copyright/appeal/view/134263 I was finishing up my beat and I sent a file, but accidentally clicked the wrong one (I downloaded it for a outside-of-NG animation) and now I can't share any music for God knows how long. I do not expect it to be put back up, but I would like for my ban to be lifted.

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

Hi, I accidentally uploaded RED ZONE but Tatsh and Naoki onto newgrounds for use in my GD level and now have a hold on my account. I want to delete because I want to upload my own music onto newgrounds. Please.

I appreciate your help, man
Hey, whenever I make a new track, i typically go out and get it distributed onto streaming platforms like Spotify, YT Music and so on, however when I goto upload to Newgrounds, my own track gets flagged on my account, causing me to have to file an appeal on basically every single new track that i upload ;-;
Is there a way to not have my own songs get flagged on my account?
Would uploading the song pre-distribution help?? ( i'd prefer not to do this )
*pssst*, call me '𝚖𝚝.' hehe :3
Hi, I remember getting scouted months ago, and now i am unscouted, I never got a message saying that i was unscouted, pls help.
~BB00~
I was copyrighted for having a similar sample but in a VERY different song
This was also the second time this had happened
My song - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SileMfaq-E0
The song I got copyrighted with - https://soundcloud.com/roeio/i-belong-to-mars-single

Considering you are likely being flagged for the software you're using it would benefit you to put more effort into your appeals, which is why the most recent one was closed by staff. This appeal had zero substantiation, a demand for unban, and mention you wanted it in GD. The one prior was an all caps rage at the system, which also was not productive.
I'll review the appeal. If you are flagged again and put the same lack of effort into your appeal there won't be further opportunities for review down the road: if you can't make the time to do a proper appeal then no sense spending ours helping.

I am trying to upload one of my songs, however it got flagged for one of my songs named universal god.
I think the issue was one of the downlifter samples in the song but idk. pls help.
(Note: Universal god was released on a record label called hailfire records.)
This is also the 3rd time it happened. @TomFulp

Hi. I am not a moderator, but I can probably help you to speedrun this issue:
Add a link to your NG-profile to your profiles on other sites.
That way, moderators can tell at a glance that you are the genuine article - which will save everyone involved a lot of time and effort. ;)

This is true. Also, @itsNANORAY, this usually happens to unscouted artists who are distributed. What you can do to save hours of time waiting for reply is take a screenshot of your distro, where you have the song distributed, and link us to that in your appeal.
Make sure that you also do not click "close appeal" by accident. We are waiting on an update for the system to make that one unavailable, since it results in no one seeing your appeal. Instead, we should probably have "dispute ban," and "accept ban", or something along those lines.
I will look into your appeal.

I made a song that was made of copyright free sounds in the website www.soundtrap.com and it got copyrighted and I'm assuming its because the same instrument was used, the song who it though I was stealing from was "Faceless" by THE BOYZ. This is my appeal that I said and then the appeal was shut.
Hello THE BOYZ,
I hope you and your music is doing well.
I want to apologize if I caused any confusion regarding the ownership of my song. I truly believed that everything in my song was either original or made using sounds that were clearly marked as copyright-free. I did not intend to infringe on anyone’s rights, and I am surprised and confused to learn that it was flagged for copyright issues.
This song is my property, and I created it with the understanding that all elements used were safe to use. If there is a mistake or misunderstanding, I would love the chance to clear it up. I’m happy to provide any project files. I can be contacted at uiouiouiouioyap@gmail.com
Best regards,
If I can be unbanned and I can get my song up on Newgrounds that would be great!

Unfortunately, because SoundTrap is such a popular platform, you are almost guaranteed to get copyright striked using any loops from it. Reason being, even though the loops are free to use, people often release shovelware tunes (loops thrown together in an unoriginal arrangement) in a vain attempt to get spotify royalty money.
Also, according to Newgrounds rules, if your music is entirely made of loops in an unoriginal arrangement, it's not suitable for the Audio Portal.

How much of your project is your original work?

Hey, QWazi here again... You rejected me last time, saying "come back when you're better", and i am way better now, i made a new song, and as always, if you don't believe me that i actually made it, i can send you the FL Studio Project file, here's the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQMfZlTKzXM
I'm really sorry that i uploaded that stolen music peace a few years back, it won't happen again, i promise, could you please unban me?
hello, I was banned from publishing songs, and I wanted to publish a song, and they said that I stole it from someone, it was a pure accident, and I filed an appeal against this mistake, and I accidentally did not delete this application on purpose.
Lol got flagged on a song I was trying to post could use some help please !

I am neither a Newgrounds Moderator nor a member of their staff, but I can assure you that they have not "forgotten" about you. There's a lot of things going on on this site that require moderator attention. Your case is most likely still being discussed. After all, you come here as... (I hope this is the proper term) a "postulant". You did bad in the past and now you are asking for a second chance. (Being able to upload is a privilege granted, not a right. This is somebody else's site - not a natural resource or something funded by your tax money...)
Another observation I'd like to share is this: I have yet to discover an online community where staff or volunteers appreciate 'being rushed' with "Is it done yet?"-questions... Those do not speed things up; they slow things down.

So two times in my songs, “how my brain thinks” and “flee” I used audiotool and used samples to make them. I was given a copyright strike for people I’ve never heard of, I assume they used audiotool as well and we used the same sample. I released another song “echoes of the abyss” and “menace” which also got taken down, but for those ones, I didn’t get an explanation on why they were taken down. Since, I switched to FL Studio and made 2 new beats that I wanted to upload. But when I tried to, I was banned from posting audio. Can you see if you can solve this?

It appears from these samples, your music was entirely composed of loops. This violates our portal TOS.
https://www.newgrounds.com/wiki/help-information/terms-of-use/audio-guidelines
Your music should be more than 50% composed or performed by you -- either using MIDI capable instruments, live ones, or more advanced sampling techniques that would essentially emulate playing an instrument. Feel free to come back when you've got a grasp of making stuff in FL Studio, and we can review your case.

Hi, yeah, that is the audio i got banned for, and i'm trying to say that i won't ever do something like that anymore, and i sent a few works of mine so you can hear them and verify that i actually make my own songs now, which i would really want to share with the newgrounds community. I won't ever upload something stolen ever again and i will credit every single company/person that made any of the samples i used. I am really sorry for what i did, i did not know what i was doing but i know better now.
Здраствуйте, да, это из описания именно того аудио, из-за которого я получил бан, я хочу сказать что я больше никогда не буду такого делать, я уже посылал несколько своих работ чтоб вы могли из прослушать и увидеть, что я теперь сам делаю музыку, которой я очень бы хотел поделиться с сообществом ньюграундс. Я больше никогда не буду выкладывать ничего украденного и я буду указывать в описании моих треков каждую компанию/человека который сделал любой из моих использованных сэмплов. Я очень сожалею о своём поступке и я не понимал всю суть того, что я делаю, но теперь я лучше понимаю и я больше никогда такого не сделаю.

Кажется, я так и не могу найти треки, отмеченные Вами, но я могу проверять их через приватные сообщения. Пошлите. Полезно будет включить детали проектов, изображения и видео проектов, и детали семплов/программ.
