itch.io

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.
