My game was disqualified or removed, why?

• Disqualified: If your game has been disqualified, it may be due to non-compliance with the request.

• Removed: In the case of being removed, it is because your game was categorized as spam.  This happens when a game is submitted multiple times to many jams and the game does not comply with the request. The developer is also removed from the list of participants for being suspected of being a spammer.
