Super Mario Maker‘s biggest issue may be the random deletion of levels, and David “GrandPOObear” Hunt is the latest person to experience this. All of his levels were deleted. He eventually got on the phone with Nintendo’s customer service. However, there was no solution. Every common reason levels are taken down, such as inappropriate activity or cheating, could not be found.
So what does Hunt think the reason behind this is? He feels it’s a punishment for speaking out against Nintendo for their policies. Many people have done this, but he has a video trail of documented evidence.
Nintendo has still avoided the issue, and did not comment on it.

If this is why, my god! The disease that is the Miiverse admins is spreading to other faculties of Nintendo! D:
RUN FOR YOUR LIVES, EVERYONE!!! Next thing ya know, you’ll be getting personal patches on your console that intentionally corrupts your save data! lol

So Nintendo is a bad guy?
no, they do this all the time on the game, even mine were deleted.
-||No, Darkness is the only path to the truth||-
Tell that to smash bros.
All of those saved replays…gone ;-;
youtube baby…yeah
Sadly, some games on the PS4 have this same issue when they get patches, too. So I’m assuming the Xbone also has this issue. So Nintendo is not intentionally doing that with their patches for Smash Bros. So it seems to be a big problem all around this gen.
See? I can say good things about Nintendo on occasion… when they deserve it, anyway. lol
just don’t do it too much, otherwise you might end up as that “brucelee” child…thing.
Once I got banned from Miiverse because I said I liked Persona 4 and was getting Persona 5 to someone in a comment. Then, someone said the comment was inappropriate and banned me for 1 or 2 weeks (forgot how long lol). It was the first time I posted anything on there too XD If they want it child friendly, why do they have M rated games with communities XD
No kidding… :o
Be glad you got banned, those brainwashed and corrupted bafoons perfectly displays what’s wrong with Nintendo’s fan base.
ROFL! XD
yup, pretty much…I call them miiverse trolls, a good artist can’t even post a great art work without being banned.
One of the artists I followed name Eric is one such victim of getting permabanned. He made another account but still. Then there was another named Mina who was extremely good. She eventually got tired of her drawings getting reported & blocked so she pretty much quit Miiverse altogether. She did come back a long while ago & drew a great Rosalina picture but left again. I think she just lurks it now at this point, Yeahing things she likes. Except for Monday nights & the occasional Sunday night, I mostly lurk on there, too, when I’m not either on here or playing a video game. All the changes has ruined Miiverse for me. :/
I still go there, and jwillz is an extremely good artist, got banned the next day later and for nothing. I got good skills myself, but I just do quick doodles just to avoid the trolls that get jealous that someone can draw better then them.I got proof of my drawings and one picture of jwillz on my deviant art. I got permission for this one too.

I was banned for calling a kid “Silly” we live in a day and age where everyone pulls the “YOU HURT MY FEELINGS!!!” card. Not to mention the Admins, are the most power abusive shit stains in the business. Bet you didn’t know they have a quota for banning users. It’s to show Nintendo that they are indeed “working”.
-||Well it’s the NN-Police, what do you expect, I want them destroyed and replaced by me||-
I got banned for one day when I asked someone to add me so that we would be able to trade on a game.
Sent it for a review, still said I broke the rules. XD.
LOL that’s so stupid XD I can’t think of any other word for it; especially when a ton of people’s status messages on 3DS Pokemon games ask for people to add them or trade/battle them >_< What's the difference if it's on Miiverse?
Look what I got started by mentioning Miiverse admins being power abusing scum! lol
I think most of us here have been victims of Miiverse Admin BS at one point :p
Yep. One time, someone had a picture from Super Metroid asking how to get out of an area they were trapped in. They were directly below the secret passage in the picture so I told them to “shoot up.” Next thing I know, my comment got reported for being bullying/hateful. Now that I think about it, I think that comment is still blocked on Miiverse even after I said sent the pre-made defense of “I did not violate the blah blah blah.”
Apparently those fucking imbeciles don’t actually read the fucking context & take some comments out of context. I expect that bullshit from a horrible news outlet that likes to paint innocent people in a negative light by taking what they say out of context & using it to say this person is bad, evil, etc.
I honestly believe the admins are just completely & utterly incompetent retards that should not be in charge of running a damn thing. Especially a social media outlet. Sadly, Miiverse is barely that these days with all of the anti-social media updates.
WHAT…………THE……………FUK!
What the fuck?
It’s not a random deletion. The manual clearly explains that if your level doesn’t get enough stars it gets deleted. This is to avoid a massive cluster of poorly designed levels.
It’s something necessary to avoid all those garbagy levels
Popular Streamer!
Anyone who’s popular gets those stars!
What I want to know is how many levels did he make, and how recently after they were made, were they deleted
Did you even read?
Also, unpopular doesn’t automatically mean “poorly designed” or “shit”. Please stop drinking that KoolAid.
If that’s the system used to avoid poorly designed levels, then it’s pretty flawed, since most of the stars go to those garbage “don’t press anything” levels.
I know, but it’s better than nothing :/
And Kaizo/troll levels… And the music levels.
*MOST Kaizo/troll levels. Some are okay.
Well, considering all of my levels have only gotten less than 10 stars, I’m guessing that they’ll be gone soon… Even though I really liked most of them.
See that’s the thing, it’s practically luck whether or not your level gets popular, and that completely ruins even wanting to make levels for me. Why would I even bother making a level if no one’ll ever play it if it doesn’t get lucky enough to be popular…
Exactly, becoming popular in Mario Maker never felt like making quality levels, it felt like being a popular youtuber or just getting lucky. The system’s downright broken but sadly there is no real other way to do it.
He made some of the most popular levels….do your damn research before you make a fool out of yourself.
Sadly, this kind of thing does not me surprise anymore. This is Nintendo being… Nintendo.
That being said, poor guy, his levels were well designed, popular and such. I can’t imagine how many hours he spent creating them.
Way to go, Nintendo… ¬¬
I don’t think nintendo is going after him, I’m just assuming it’s a glitch in the system’s level deletion or something it has been going on for a while it’s not just him happen to a few of mine
Neither do I –and I agree with you: In my opinion, it is in fact a glitch or something like that. But I’m uncomfortable with the idea that people don’t get a deletion warning from Nintendo beforehand the level vanishes.
Nintendo could have handled this situation much better.
If it were a glitch Nintendo would have mentioned it like they did the last time there was a glitch where they had to shut down the Mario Maker servers till they fixed it. This is another BS Nintendo policy. Open your eyes to the truth, we can’t be Nintendo fanboys living in lala land all our lives you know.
Doing more looking into may lead that his name Poo could be a reason, The way the game deletes levels maybe targeting it
Hum, makes sense.
-||Yes specially since many of his levels contained the word in one way or the other, hopefully is the reason behind popular ones and not just random deletion||-
All because of the word poo? Really? lol It’s worse than I thought. There really are idiots at Nintendo.
Literally who
Maybe this can describe that situation:
I would have hit that old bitch in his face.
LOL! XD
That deserves an AUTOMATIC INTO THE GUINNESS WORLD RECORD BOOK. NO QUESTIONS ASKED.
-||That stupid human should be executed at once||-
At least he said “sorry, mate…”😳
-||Excuses||-
LOL! Sh*t happens, you know…
-||More excuses||-
So far, all of mine are still up.
Yeah, me too and I don’t play anymore. There are some flaws in the way the online community is structured in my opinion and it has nothing to do with vanishing levels
This is just terrible… The fact that some people actually put effort into making their levels… And they get deleted without a trace… So far two of my levels were deleted… :c
Ha, lets see the Nintendo Fanboys defend this one. I’ve exposed Nintendo over and over and the fanboys always try to blast me, never works cause they’re idiots and I’m not, but still. Why are people surprised Nintendo is pulling more BS? Here is the harsh truth, NINTENDO HAS THE MONEY TO FUCK UP FOR LIKE 50 MORE YEARS BEFORE THEY NEED TO SERIOUSLY THINK ABOUT FIXING THEIR SHIT.
-||First you are the Empire’s defender at all costs and other times the total opposite, schizophrenic?||-
I sure hope they don’t go 50 more years with failures before fixing their shit. Cuz by then, their reputation will be so brutally damaged that there won’t be anyone around TO fix their shit for. They’ll be the next Enron having to file for bankruptcy & cease operations soon after. :/
Popular? Never heard of him so he isn’t that popular anyways his levels probably didn’t enough plays
My action when the Nintendo fanbase acts like Nintendo is working for the illuminati?
https://youtu.be/o4zxYpLY9QM
-||The Illuminati has no control over us||-
lol
Can’t he just re-upload the levels. I don’t own the game, so I’m not sure how it works.
No, if you dig a little deeper, you will see that it was a portion of the save file that was deleted. So not only are the levels not available online, but all his stars are gone, and the levels within the editor itself. Curiously, the editor shows other levels, but the ones that were uploaded are 100% gone and not showing the blocked from upload icon.
why does Nintendo hate its fans so much? Do any other companies show such displeasure?
Sucks that that happened. :/ But….who? I’ve literally never heard of this guy.
Find it funny how Nintendo steifels production towards their underworked mediocre game that they’ve absolutely no work on.
– Some guy with <3000 subscribers
– Popular
– Thinks his dangerous opinion is being punished by Nintendo
Nintendo don't even know who this loser is.
