Question About Creating a New Account After Deindexing

A topic by Yehshua Corps created 92 days ago Views: 94 Replies: 2

Hello, I hope someone can help me with this question, whether it's an administrator, moderator, or anyone familiar with this situation.

I am about to release Chapter 1 of a new game I am developing. About 7 days ago, I received an email informing me that my account had been deindexed for not complying with the platform's rules. After reviewing my settings, I realized that I had forgotten to enable the "Show content warning — Show sensitive content warning before accessing game" option, which was also explained in the support email.

I would also like to clarify that I already replied to the support email and provided an explanation. I explained that there was no bad intention on my part; it was simply an oversight among all the work and details that need to be handled when developing and publishing a project.

The issue is that it took around 7 months to receive that response, so I do not expect a new support request to be answered anytime soon. That is why I wanted to ask here.

Would it be possible to create a new account to upload my new game, making sure not to repeat the same mistake? My main account is still deindexed, and I have no idea when or if the situation will be resolved. Is there any rule against creating another account in this situation, or could it lead to additional penalties?

Thank you in advance for any information or advice you can provide.

It's not allowed, the rules simply say not to do it, but there are several posts from the admin where it says that doing so could result in a ban.

Don’t try to circumvent any indexing restrictions

and:

Keep in mind creating a new account to circumvent any restrictions or ban evade will result in permanent suspension from our platform.

“I have read the rules you sent me, thank you for the information. But I guess I’m just unlucky. I already replied to the email I received 7 days ago, but I first had to wait 7 months for them to respond to my email about why my games were not being indexed. And now I will have to wait again without knowing how long it will take for them to tell me whether there is a solution or if it is permanent. This situation is very discouraging, not knowing how long I will have to wait for another response. Well, it’s really disappointing, but thank you for your time; it was very helpful.”
