Hey. Just got banned from the audio portal for "spam audio".r

Posted by Atlex44 - October 30th, 2023


Unfortunately I got banned from the audio portal for an entire year. Apparently I was posting spam audio and sure I make some joke music sometimes but it's completely listenable.


"Reason: Spam audio: Your audio can not damage ears or be painful to listen to. White noise, blowing into the microphone, screaming, text-to-speech, etc. doesn't belong in the Audio Portal.

Expires: 28 October 2024."


"GD Replacement songs" that I uploaded:

So yes, I play Geometry Dash, and there some songs I wanted to use in GD that aren't on newgrounds. I did NOT upload music that wasn't mine, EVER. Every track that I have uploaded onto this site is MINE. I uploaded almost completely blank audio files so that I could replace a song on GD with specific IDs that I took - instead of replacing songs that actually existed. It hurts NOBODY by doing this.


Uploading joke music:

I am an actual music producer and I make real music. I just try to have some more fun by making joke songs made out of fart samples or other samples that I recorded. Nothing I have ever uploaded is purely spam, or uses any copyrighted samples. I have used FL STOCK VOCAL SAMPLES in my joke music, which I have FULL rights to use and upload here as I wish. I've never uploaded anything with text-to-speech, "pure white noise", screaming/blowing into the mic(??) or anything that genuinely hurts your ears. Just because an audio file is loud doesn't mean it's considered spam audio. And, over 95 percent of what I upload are previews of music that I make myself, under the name Driftt. I have never uploaded music that isn't mine or for pure spam/trolling purposes.


Newgrounds staff - get your shit together please.

PM a NG staff and ask them who banned you, then PM and explain your reasons to the staff that banned you. Posting a news doesn't help.

Ik posting a news doesnt really help at all, but I just want to let people know. I honestly couldnt care about NG anymore, their service sucks if they suddenly want to ban people out of nowhere. So I dont feel the need to appeal or anything.. I just dont see myself uploading music here anymore lmao

I think "Your audio can not damage ears or be painful to listen to." is pretty self-explanatory and not "out of nowhere" at all. 'You' are the one to blame here and you know it - no mater how much you try to deflect ("Just because an audio file is loud doesn't mean it's considered spam audio."). You were causing users enough physical pain that they reported you and at the very least one moderator agreed with them. Think about it: NG moderators see/hear 'a lot' and are normally pretty lenient.

Imagine getting a phone call and some stranger yelled into your ear from the top of their lungs... Who would you blame? The caller who intentionally chose a volume way too loud for comfort or the person receiving the call with their phone set to a normal loudness level?

I have not received a ban for such actions, but I can perfectly understand you in this regard. I uploaded tracks from RejSende to another account and received strikes against myself. The administration does not want to pay attention to this problem, which means I simply will not upload them here, although I would like to be heard here too.
