I came across a blatant scam, immediately when it was released. I have reported it using the report button, but unfortunately others seems to have missed the red flags. And obviously it won't be reviewed for a while because itch is now a pretty big plateform.

I believe it would be a good idea to warn users of itch page that are under review from reports. At least until it is properly addressed.

I might have opinions about such things. /t/3512426/itch-is-not-a-safe-place-do-not-download-things

Are you talking about inventing a quarantine message? Those exist and if a game is under review it is put into quarantine and a warning appears. But the warning appears only if you try to download a game or click a link.

Well yes something like that, but either it is currently not obvious enough or not quick enough to appear. Because the game i reported had the time to get 9 reviews before it was taken down and it was all after i reported the game. And there I had ironclad proof it was a scam malware
