But hey, at least you only have one entry, pathetically...

What... it sounds like you're trying to avoid the central issue here. I mean, sure, there's a disqualification option, but the fact there's also a lazy 'remove without bothering with the extra rationales' option means that people will end up doing that, instead, at least sometimes. I'm just questioning your very logic to even insert such an option in the first place, regardless of whether you want to lock this or what, I doubt I'm the first or last person to notice the injustice in the system. But, hey, at least you avoided addressing a lot of the issues I raised, earlier... like the fact you somehow prioritize their stupid made up 'questions' that are somehow absolutely 'required'... and completely ignore the real issue, here; system should be fixed, as individuals only do this because it's clearly the easiest option of all...
Well, if they want to troll then I guess they can (maybe it should be public too, just as answers to questions to submitters are) - but the point is, as of now it's entirely the fault of this site if there's not even any field of input. I'm honestly surprised people continue being motivated to participate in jams at all, with the state this site is in... (reposted as a reply)
Sure, but this isn't about investigating individual jams (and what could be done even if so, anyway, if they "have the right to decide who can and can not participate"? I mean, participants can't even ask for a rationale?)
It's about how there's no field at all... no possibility for them to even leave an explanation (unless I missed something it's the same interface that submitters get when they remove their own submissions too... and no rationales for submitters would make sense, but not for third parties). Literally, the only way they can say anything is to do it in the comments before removing it, and leave some time for the submitter to see it (or... leave it on the game's page, since PMs don't even exist here)... which obviously not all people would be patient enough to do. This actually happened in multiple jams that I noticed... and noticed is a key word, since it's all so subtle. Just horrid UI design... rationales should at least have fields to be put in, otherwise obviously they're not going to leave any...
Surely, if *any* type of 'question' by the hosts can be 'required' (and I've seen some utterly dumb, non-require-worthy ones), then rationales and their fields should be required too! Otherwise, really, why would anyone be motivated to spend hours on something that can be removed without even a single word as a rationale if hosts were so inclined? (Besides inclination, of course, the worst is that the site incentivizes them...)
I seriously have no idea how anyone still keeps being motivated to be active on this weirdly configured site... I mean, NOT EVEN A COMMENT?! Oh, wow, I guess I'll totally invest countless hours next time too to BE REMOVED WITHOUT EVEN A COMMENT!
Shame on 'leaf' and his stupid setup! They should AT LEAST be made to leave comments. Oh, I mean, sure, when it comes to jams' own stupid fields? They force even the stupidest questions to be 'required'... but for them to entirely remove games? Oh, no, please, make it half a click if possible, too, lest the bastards lose an extra second.
What an absolutely stupid interface this site has!
I've apparently been banned on discord for no obvious reason... is this something you're personally promoting? Are you happy with these petty dictator-wannabes? I even tried merely asking 'why'... and was 'disappeared' again within minutes. Like, seriously? Are they too bored with gbs now, and instead want to harass people? I don't even know who's doing it, so congrats on the unbelievable amount of rationales and transparency...!
