not getting views and clicks on my latest games, is it a bug or have I been shadow-banned? my games are not bad and I usually have some activity after a few minutes

...Which games? You have dozens, and most are indexed. A few will have to be seen by staff.

last ones

...Your latest games were published yesterday. Please wait.

ok but I never had to wait to get any results, normally there would already be some activity if the system was normal

The "system" has worked this way for a long time now. You probably got lucky so far. Please read the documentation.

ok, thank you

I only looked at your game covers and titles and at first glance it seems you release the same puzzle game over and over and just exchange the images and call it a new game. You have over 60 games. If staff thinks you are spamming, your games indeed might have a hard time getting indexed.

Your page will still be accessible via direct access to anyone with the URL, or through your profile page, but since we believe that your page detracts from the browsing experience, it will not be shown on our listings.

It does not help that you submit your games to so many jams. And that you literally have the same description on many of those games.

ok thanks
