My Game is Gone?

My submission is gone? 

If the the answer as to why is "it didn't follow the theme",  I feel you could've left the game alone. 25% of the scoring is based on that topic so it's not like it'll win + I don't see anywhere on the front page saying "Theme is Mandatory", so all around a very confusing takedown.

If I was incorrect on my assumption can you clarify further? I'm not trying to be rude, I'm just confused.

Literally a single sentence would help <3

Most game jams will remove games if they don’t follow the actual theme of the jam and it’s pretty expected of them to do that if you just put a game out that has nothing to do with the jam or theme they want itself.

I get that, but please tell me why MINI-GOLF is still here then? If all the non-theme adhering games where gone, I wouldn't be asking questions. There is still 6 games with no soccer up. That's why I'm asking questions. Mind you, I'm not upset about it. Still simply confused

If you don't like the theme, then don't do the jam. You could just have just gone and found a different jam.

I fully understand that. The problem is that I don't 100% know that that's why my game is gone. I am asking for clarification so I can know to find another jam in the future. If they had stated it in the rules, I wouldn't have tried to dodge the theme. 

I'm not trying to start drama. I'm not trying to be rude. And I'm not trying to be unreasonable. 

All I want to know is that my game got taken down because it didn't follow the theme. Otherwise it deleting itself via some random glitch, or me doing something stupid and deleting it is still on the table as an option.

Yeah that's probably the reason cause a lot of games got taken down for the same reason and ig some slip though the cracks. Would be nice if you had gotten notified though fs 👍
