I'm new to this thread. Why does the date say "5 Years" if it's still being uploaded on this site now?
When a developer breaks the site's rules and doesn't agree to start abiding by them again, their game(s) stop getting promoted. That basically just means that new updates don't push the game back to the top of the "latest updates" feature and the game becomes much harder to find for new players.
Rule violations that can result in this include harassing moderators and attempting to sic lawyers on them, using sock puppet accounts to post negative reviews of similar games (or fake reviews of your own game), etc. There's a handful of de-promoted games on this site, the other one that I'm aware of off the top of my head is Champion of Realms. I think they were guilty of review manipulation, but don't count me on that.
Some rules just get a game outright deleted, and that's what Sel had actually been hoping for when he started harassing mods.
The game tends to leak here within moments of going live, and that pisses off the dev. So he created the idea of "care packages" that function similar to DVD bonus content, and were going to have de-aged versions of the girls in bonus animations, with this hopes that those would constitute rule 7 violations and prevent the care packages from being uploaded here.
It didn't work, and they started getting uploaded here almost instantly, and he threw a fit. Mass-ban of any potential leakers from the Discord, his cronies creating sock puppet accounts to mass-report the game, threats to sue, the works. The mods de-promoted the game and told him to take a hike.
He wants the game deleted. He had no problem with this site when he was getting started, but now that he's making $10k/month, he wants it gone, and I suspect it's only a matter of time before he adds content to the game that will get that done.
