Hi, thank you for giving us feedback on the jam structure. The third party form and email prompt are both optional and are not required to participate in the jam, and we only use these to gather community feedback on different aspects of the game jam or to otherwise send out information regarding jam dates and other announcements. Essentially, it's our mailing list. As stated before, these are both entirely optional and have no bearing on your ability to participate in the game jam, and you're free to opt out at any time if you feel that it is an invasion of your privacy.
As for the reporting, every year we get a number of games that were not created for or during MFGJ, and due to the nature of the game jam we believe it is unfair to those who participate in the jam exclusively. These games we typically remove from the submission feed, but in the case of someone repeatedly adding the same game despite our warnings, we do end up reporting these as jams lack a block feature for games. We understand that your concern over exposure is well-placed and valid, but MFGJ isn't the place to submit a past project for exposure, because the ultimate goal is for the jammer to gain experience and try something new. Submitting a project you already created does not constitute as this.
Furthermore, as I mentioned, the forms we use help us course correct and provide insight on how to run the jam better. The exit form is specifically meant for concerns like this, and in the future if you have any other comments, we'd appreciate it if you reached us through there. This thread will be locked for this reason.
