Thanks for the explaining! I didnt know about itch staff had to check each message so ıts good to know about how the system works but I knew developers can also approve the comment (ım not sure ıf there is any limitations to this) because ı have two game developers friends ı chat with everyday (this is also how ı know they always check their pages to approve my comments when ı sent them). To be honest I feel very upset about all these bot spam things because they technically make things harder for everyone and ı agree with the private message thing. I cant even imagine what kind of chaos would envail with so many spam bots would keep opening chats and sending messages non-stop though ı heard from my one developer friend that they are also trying to do that in their way; she said her games started get into some not public collections with ''NEW UPDATE HERE'' or ''THİS İS OUR SOFTWARE TRY İT OUT'' descriptions and links while only the game devs whose games were in collection could see them so I am guessing this is their way of ''private messaging'' now? (I will attach the few evidences at the end). currently ım trying to help her with spam bots and trying to report those accounts but they keep happening. I hope there will be some sort of solution for all this bot mess while I am not blaming anyone because Im sure ıt was also hard for them.
here are the ''collection spams'' ı was talking about (small note: that game spam one talks about entirely different game than what my friend did. it might be obvious but ı still wanted to say it ^^;;)
