It’s simple: as a Jam organizer, you set the tone for the community. Even if a question is asked publicly, a professional host knows when to take a conversation to DMs or a ticket system to avoid public drama. You chose to post a screenshot to shame me publicly instead of resolving it like a leader.

I am not "shifting blame." I already admitted my mistakes, apologized to the people involved, and deleted the comments. I took responsibility for my actions. The issue here is your behavior as an organizer and your choice to escalate conflict rather than manage it. If you think public shaming is the only way to communicate, then I was right — I don’t want to be part of a community run this way.

U made a nasty comment towards someone PUBLICLY, then got reported by a bunch of people which led to me disqualifying you.

U had the choice to open a private ticket, instead u made a public post which i assumed is ur prefered way of communication... it was not public shaming on my part, i literally just replied to ur question.

It was ur own responsibility to reach out and fix ur mistakes not mine, its very selfish of u to expect the host of the jam to go out of their way to reassure you, after ur bad behaviour.

Again stop shifting blame... "i made a mistake, but its actualy macrows fault for replying to my question"

You mention the ticket system, but you forget that not everyone is an Itch.io expert or a native English speaker. Due to the language barrier and being less familiar with the platform's private tools, I didn't know a "ticket system" was the required way to reach out. I asked a question where I could.

As a host, you could have easily pointed me to that private channel. Instead, you chose to use my lack of knowledge as an opportunity to publicly shame me.

I am not shifting blame for the disqualification  I’ve already accepted that, apologized to the participants, and cleared my conscience. I am calling out your lack of professional guidance. A good leader helps a confused participant find the right channel; they don't use a screenshot as a weapon.

I’ve learned my lesson and made amends with those involved. I hope you eventually learn that being a host is about community management, not just winning arguments.

I apologiz u feel that way, but my DMs are open to everyone; and i made sure im accessible to anyyones concerns.

You made a post asking for an answer, and i just replied to it... no malice, no ill intentions.

The fact u keep making it out like i wanted to make this public, or i wanted to use the screenshot as a "weapon" is just a projection on ur part. Ur not actually sorry for u actions, only that u got called out on it.

I’m not here to debate my character with you. I have already made peace with the participants I offended, and that is what matters to me. Since we are just going in circles, I’m done with this conversation. Think what you want. Goodbye.

Ok bud, see u in the next jam 😉
