What do you think, a shadowban is?
Because no, Itch does not do shadowbans.
They can however ban your account from being indexed. I have seen such things happen. But usually it is the projects that just fail quality guidelines or are simply not indexed yet.
Hi, I've seen games get added to:
like https://dtsfp.itch.io/qarp here
in as little as an hour, and some of the games added (no comment on qarp) are simply not as good as mine.
I tried emailing support about this twice and have received no response. It's very upsetting. My physical games meet all the requirements to be indexed.
Some games are indexed immediately. Some take weeks (or months).
We’re expected to wait a couple of weeks before emailing the Itch.io about indexing. They’re chronically backlogged with requests. Multiple emails in one day for the same low-priority issue (compared to spam attacks, malware reports, life-and-death payouts) on the same day as the project was published likely won’t endear them to your concerns.
While you wait, you might want to reconsider the pictures of your latest game. In my personal opinion, they aren’t making your game look publishing-ready.
Like people said. Please read the rules of Questions & Support where this should have been. There are helpful instructions.
