Audio Review question 2011-07-24 01:35:06

I had a couple of reviews deleted about an hour ago. While I don't mind if they were deleted for being a little heated (they were very old, and one of them encouraged blamming the submission - t'was written before I read the rules, it won't happen again), I would like to know if pointing out stolen work is discouraged for one reason or another in the audio portal.

In the FAQ it notes that posting that a work is stolen is discouraged and a whistle should instead be blown or Wade (or another administrator who handles the audio portal, I assume) should be contacted. In the case of the audio portal, however, there is no whistle function, and stolen audio often is overlooked and ignored when contacting the proper people about it (in my experience, attempts to contact administrators about stolen music is met without a response). If I recognize a work as not being someone's work I feel it's an injustice to the real artist to let it go without pointing others in the right direction.

Is it acceptable to point people in the right direction to the real artists of a particular track if you find stolen audio music? If not, what are my viable alternatives?


Need some music for a flash or game? Check it out. If none of this works send me a PM, I'm taking requests.

Review Guidelines:

+ If you believe an entry is stolen, do not comment about it in your review. If you are wrong, you may convince other users that the entry is stolen and you may cause a legitimate entry to receive an unfairly low score, or have the whistle blown on it. Use the whistle option, if available, to flag the entry as stolen when you believe that is the case. If there is no whistle option available (the entry is no longer under judgment) contact Wade with as many details as you can about the stolen Flash and where you think it was stolen from.
