Our Page Was Marked "Quarantined" - Possible False Positive Related to Patreon Authorization

Hello itch.io team and community,

Today we discovered that one of our game pages was marked as "quarantined due to suspicious activity." This came as a surprise, and we would like to clarify the situation.

We are Tap-Tap Legends, an indie team developing casual clicker games, releasing projects regularly (1-2 per month). Our distribution model is:

  • The base game is free

  • Extra content is available through Patreon subscription

  • The game uses external authorization to verify access to bonus content

We believe the flag might have been triggered by one of the following:

  • some users experience authorization issues on mobile devices
  • frequent file updates
  • use of external subscription verification
  • possible user reports after failed authorization attempts

We want to be very clear:

We do not distribute malware, do not use obfuscated malicious code, and are not involved in scams.
All files are standard game builds.

Since this warning appeared, we noticed:

  • a drop in page views

  • concerned messages from users

  • reduced trust in our project

We are fully open to cooperation and would like clarification:

  1. What exactly triggered this quarantine flag?

  2. What steps should we take to remove it?

  3. Do we need to adjust file packaging or authorization method?

We are ready to:

  • re-upload builds

  • change file structure

  • provide additional verification

  • undergo any required review

For a small indie team, such warnings heavily affect visibility and trust, so we kindly ask for a review.

Thank you for your help.
