@AddisonJudah Tom is the site owner/admin but the proper route tp appeal would have been to find an audio mod (like me) under the support link at the bottom of the page. I just happened across this. While I didn't levy the ban, I've reviewed it and agree with it. The fact that it took you over a month to notice (ban was levied Feb 6) means it isn't that pressing for you to wait another 1.5 months for it to expire. The user you scouted had a single upload, which even if it wasn't stolen is not enough for someone to get a sense of their talent for scouting. The submission did state in the uploader's comments that it was uploaded for use in Geometry Dash and not legitimate. Being scouted helps someone be seen, and scouting the wrong people allows others to download stolen/copyright material which brings lawyers to an independent media site like NG. If you have relevant questions about this matter, send me a PM.

You can try messaging Tom Fulp about it.
