I was only talking about how to acquire the developer tag itself for yourself. The identifier is just that -- an identifier. It doesn't give you more power over the thread such as nuking links or being able to delete other people's posts. That's all in the purview of the forum's staff.
Yeah, this was never a thing. Darth, in this case, likely wasn't aware of that. However, they weren't wrong about the different ways to get in touch with staff. They were trying to be helpful. As Doc said, "no developer has the right to delete or remove leaks".
I
100% agree with my fellow F95 user here, and have stated as such in other threads. There have been many games found through here that players would otherwise never would have known existed. And as an extension of that, more subscribers have inevitably found their way to the respective game's development pages outside this forum. Some threads have even been known to old off leaking new builds for quite a while as a way to show support despite the nature of the forum. So just keep on doing what you're doing,
Taptus, and continue to engage folks on here and on your crowdfunding pages, and just have fun developing the game you want without burning yourself out. It's a process -- don't worry too much about stuff beyond your control -- and enjoy yourself in what you're doing. All the best, cheers!
