My games are not uploading on game jams. Is there something wrong here?

Which games have you tried uploading, and to which jams? Beware that submitting a game to many jams at once could trigger spam protections. Did you participate in jams before?

Yes I have and did more than once just to be noticed.

Hello, it looks like you have a limit on your account from submitting to too many jams without reading or following the rules. Please do not spam your games in jams. You were reported multiple times by people participating in the jams you submitted to. You can read our community guidelines here: https://itch.io/docs/creators/quality-guidelines#game-jams/do-not-add-your-game-to-unrelated-jams-for-promotion

Your not spying on Me are you? Just kidding. But seriously is there a way to Unspam me or I'll just quit itch. Io altogether and move to game jolt?

Can you comment on jam submissions you've done? Do you think you were not breaking the rules? Or do you acknowledge you were excessively submitting  to jams and you will stop? If we can come to an agreement then we can lift the limit off of your account.

Thanks

Alright what agreement do u have in mind?

Here is what I'm thinking. I'm allowed to post any game I want and bypass all the rules of this site and cannot be reported for spam or any other reason. If not then it looks like we are done here. 

 And an apology would be nice.

We ask that you be respectful of the people who host events on itch.io. People from our community put together jams so they can build their own communities of people who are interested about a common topic. Posting your projects in unrelated game jams not only breaks our rules but also hurts the hosts of these events. 

I'm asking you to be more conscious about the jams you submit your projects to, do not submit to random jams just because you can. If you can agree to that then we can remove the limit on jam submissions from your account.

Alright I agree to your terms. But I'm allowed to post any game I pleased and if I want to am allowed to host a jam it has to be no rules anything goes and allow to post my own games on my own jams. Is that agreeable?

Hey! We had an agreement and you signed that Campotech can post wherever and whatever we want. If you plan on backing out of that agreement we will be more than glad to counterstrike itch. Io. Trust us Campotech is not a group of indie gamers you don't want to screw with.  And I would like to speak with the owner of this site please.

Since Leaf may not be able to answer right now, maybe I can help:

  1. I'm pretty sure he hasn't signed anything. You two carried on a discussion on a community forum.
  2. That's not what you agreed to. You asked for permission to create your own game jams with any rules you want, or no rules at all. Which was fine all along: jam organizers on Itch make their own rules for participation. We just ask them to also mind the community guidelines and terms of service.
  3. Leaf here is the owner of the website. You've been talking to him all along.

Please do no resort to threats. That makes people less inclined to be amiable, and can serve as evidence in a court of law. What seems to be the problem, anyway? Is the restriction still in place? Maybe something went wrong.

If I was breaking the rules, I was not aware about it

I see reports for you account for submitting to unrelated game jams. The game jam system is not for you to advertise your project by mass posting it in game jams. 

As an aside, if you have an issue with your account then I recommend contacting support: https://itch.io/support. Posting in someone else's topic makes it difficult to help you resolve your issue.

Thanks
