Any idea why this happened? The same thing happened to me and all I do is post my video links with my gameplay and feedback of the game I'm playing... I thought that's what this site was for.. :<
Viewing post in Account being restricted for no reason.
Before people started reporting this type of problem, it was quite common for users to report that their game comments were being flooded with bots posting malware download links disguised as game updates.
I don't see these posts anymore, but I do see many complaints about being restricted. Therefore, it seems that Itch has implemented some kind of automated filter that, in addition to stopping these bots, is generating false positives. To be clear, this is just a assumption.
That's still going on. It might be that the people that would complain on public message board already did. But I sure do hope, they block some of the spam effectivly. But experience with those malware uploaders lets me doubt that.
It's the usual games, the usual comments. I think they grab some of the feeds for updated games or something like that. Everytime I visit some of the feed games, I see such spam comments. The last only a few hours old from a hacked account no less.
I believe it was a mistake. Or some kind of bug, I don't know. Because, like you, I've never broken any site rules.
But as soon as I contacted the moderation team through the forum, they quickly fixed it. I suggest you do the same! Create a topic and ask for help.
Hopefully it gets fixed quickly, friend. It was hell while my account was restricted. (What the girl said also makes sense. It could possibly be a faulty anti-flood system that detected some word or something like that and restricted it by mistake... it's less likely, but not impossible.)
