Are game studio communities not allowed? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

Yesterday I created a community here for my indie game studio and made a single post to describe the new game we're working on, only to find out today that it was banned for "spam" (according to the modlog).

I'll respect the mods' decision of course but I admit I'm mostly confused; did I miss something in the ToS and this kind of community is not allowed here? (or did I read the wrong ToS? The one I found here didn't mention anything about this.)

Oh, yeah that makes sense; I guess if I had created it with this account instead of making a dedicated account it would have seemed less suspicious, now that I think about it (Also, I linked to an outside blog because I couldn't figure out what the issue was with the image uploads so I hoped it would at least use that offsite thumbnail (which it didn't) but I can see how that makes it even worse hah).

And yeah restoring it sounds great! I'd be happy to be involved, my goal is to have a community I can interact with here in addition to other socials, not to simply barge in and direct people out (if anything, if I can get more people to join Lemmy, that's even better).

That said, it would probably be better if I used this account here for it instead of the one I created yesterday, right?

The community, post and account have been restored!

And yeah, my advice would be to login with your new account, make your existing account a moderator of the community too, and then do most of your communication/moderation from the account with an active history!

This was one of the best mod conversations I've seen. Thank you for engaging with the user.
