itch.io

Thanks!

Isn't blocking friendly comments from new users the opposite of working? A textbook case of false-positives, right?

Hello. I just created an itch.io account, and it seems to have been shadowbanned sitewide for no reason at all. My first attempt at activity received a message:

```

Awaiting moderator approval

Thank you for your post. It must be approved by a moderator before it will be shown due to this community's settings or due to your recent account activity.

```

This message appears whenever I try to make a comment on any game. The comment is completely innocuous, basically just "Nice game, have you considered adding this feature?". Looking at this thread, it seems like I'm not the only one with this issue. Looking at the game I posted on, the comment is still not visible two weeks later, so "Awaiting Moderator Approval" seems to be an inaccurate message, at the very least.

My ticket ID is 342236, and was confirmed to have been received, but I haven't gotten any sort of response.

Per the moderator response found here, I've created a thread with the ticket ID.

Same here. No email back, and my only comment is still shadowbanned. My request number (I think that's my ticket ID, but at any rate it's the only thing I got) is 342236.

I've got the same issue. Made an innocuous comment on a game I like (my first ever account activity!) and got the same message.
