but I would like to know which projects are actually in quarantine and which aren't.

Right clicking a links will display the shortened quarantine message, if the game is in quaratine. A private browser window should do the trick.

3 days ago, 2 of the projects were in quarantine. Now only 1 is.

If there are no external links on the page, you have to go to the full quarantine message, which only appears, if you actually try to download a file up to the last dialogue that would save the file to your disk.

That's what I'm having trouble with, even in incognito, I can access all links and download all files from Dream Corruption with no message in sight. So the only confirmation I have that that project is in quarantine and not just deindexed is from other users.

This is different to when Sinful Valley was in quarantine as up until it was released, I could get the quarantine message to display when trying to access the devlogs. It's quite strange.

I can only tell you what I saw. Maybe I misremember or opened the wrong pages. But first time one game displayed the quarantine message. Then you wrote that two games were indexed again. When I checked again, two games were quarantined. And when I checked now, one game is quarantined. The "dream" game. The other two games are indexed currently.

Maybe a word of clarification, as I am not sure you understood what moderator means here. No time moderates the community message board. No time is not Itch staff.

This message board is not Itch support. It is a community message board. And I think it is misleadingly named. https://itch.io/t/6068170/please-rename-this-message-board-category

But because actual support requests seem to be ending up here anyway all the time, there is this sort of inofficial protocol where people would write their ticket number here and no time would forward those ticket numbers to actual staff. It's even in the rules of this message board category, how to do that. And this seems to be a one way channel, or as no time says it: it's out of my hands now.

No, you're right, Dream Corruption is quarantined. I've had other people in my community tell me the same as you have. My problem is that I can't seem to get the quarantine message to display for myself. Not sure why.

I understand that No Time is only a moderator and not directly related to the Itch staff. I did originally believe they had more back-and-forth communication with the Itch staff, so I was under an incorrect assumption there.

Anyway, I appreciate the insight!
