you got banned lol
A high-flying fantasy Martial Arts world where you unfortunately play a peasant arrogantly rising above their station. · By
I hope this doesn't get the IF canned now unless the author decides to host it somewhere else bc even though one of mods on COG/HG said it can be reversed I feel the damage has been done there and people will always drag the guy for this on that particular space.Another thing is people getting banned left and right in the forums today. I am curious as to how this blew up though,it was almost like whiplash 💀. The previous day the normal thread is having discussions about the game and interacting normally and 24 hours later this sh!tstorm happens.
Don't know how often you visit the site and I don't know if you've seen this but there's something going on.Apparently a large portion of games with adult or Nsfw themes got de-indexed and are being reviewed or something. So at this point some stuff doesn't show up when doing a search on itch unless you use your browser directly and I think AC might be affected. This is the full story from the guy who runs the site directly.
We have “deindexed” all adult NSFW content from our browse and search pages. We understand this action is sudden and disruptive, and we are truly sorry for the frustration and confusion caused by this change.
Recently, we came under scrutiny from our payment processors regarding the nature of some content hosted on itch.io. Due to a game titled No Mercy, which was temporarily available on itch.io before being banned back in April, the organization Collective Shout launched a campaign against Steam and itch.io, directing concerns to our payment processors about the nature of certain content found on both platforms.
Our ability to process payments is critical for every creator on our platform. To ensure that we can continue to operate and provide a marketplace for all developers, we must prioritize our relationship with our payment partners and take immediate steps towards compliance.
This is a time critical moment for itch.io. The situation developed rapidly, and we had to act urgently to protect the platform’s core payment infrastructure. Unfortunately, this meant it was not realistic to provide creators with advance notice before making this change. We know this is not ideal, and we apologize for the abruptness of this change.
We are currently conducting a comprehensive audit of content to ensure we can meet the requirements of our payment processors. Pages will remain deindexed as we complete our review. Once this review is complete, we will introduce new compliance measures. For NSFW pages, this will include a new step where creators must confirm that their content is allowable under the policies of the respective payment processors linked to their account.
Part of this review will see some pages being permanently removed from itch.io. Affected accounts will be notified via their account’s email address from our support address. You can reply to that email if you have any follow up questions.
We ask for your patience and understanding as we navigate this challenging period. I’m sorry we can not share more at this time as we are still getting a full understanding of the situation ourselves. We will post a follow up on our blog if the situation changes.
Thank you.
Now I don't know if Aura Clash falls under any of those terms seeing as even some IF's that weren't even under this umbrella term also can't be manually searched directly on itch as well. Just thought I'd give the heads up seeing as apparently this is a widespread thing unfortunately.
