Very disappointed with host

I submitted to this jam and I was disqualified. "For my game being premade" which it was not.. I have been documenting my whole processes via screen shots and discord and have many people who can confirm who also helped with trouble shooting. Please explain how it is premade and why I was disqualified. I made this game with a black hole cutting through the center of the map.  Followed all the rules. 

And SPHERE left a comment on my game stating it was premade! 

THIS IS NOT A WELCOMING COMMUNITY!

Hey HelloCrystxl, I dont think the game was pre-made (Well, Sphere is not a host). The game you provided looks nice, but its clearly made for another jam. Submitting a game to multiple jams at once is a terrible idea to to get your game noticed, because it will not work properly and it disrespects those who genuinely participated in the jam.

Sphere posted Directly on my game stating he removed me from this jam for my game being pre-made. The game was made during thetime frame and fit the theme. If you look at the other jams submitted, they are yearlong jams that show off work/ accomplishments/progress and are not judged jams.... Again, why they rudely posted on my game comments that they represent this jam? also posted in other places and on other people's games stating the same things. Look at their post feed. so as did I.  This is a direct reflection of this jam, hosts and community. I got into indie dev to find like-minded people and communities to build with. I worked hard for 5 days trying to finish it to submit. If you look at when I joined it was over a month ago and I was even in your Discord. Sphere should be disqualified and removed from your community! unless you are saying that is the type of community member who represents you.  

So, harassment is allowed in your community?!
