Hello all, an update regarding the site’s shadow ban. After about two and a half weeks I have received ZERO response from both Kyle and the Neocities staff in general, including an email I sent to Kyle directly on 1/27. Additionally, I created a Bluesky acc with the sole purpose of reaching out there, and no response either.

I have figured out the source of my "shadow ban," my site has been tagged as NSFW. I was not notified of this tagging prior, nor given a specific reason after, and the option for me to toggle the NSFW option on/off in the site settings has been seemingly removed. Meaning even if I made some changes to make it deemed more SFW I can not escape the shadow ban that comes with having an NSFW site.

I am awaiting a response from Neocities admins, I hope that this can be resolved. I don't wish to compromise the overall vision of this nor do I do this for the "clout"/views; I simply want my site (tools and art included) to reach new people, and my high placement on Neocitie's homepage is the best means I have to do this. If that requires minor tweaks then I would be open to it.

Wtf, I didn't even know there was a seperate catagory for nsfw sites, I assumed all neocities sites were nsfw.

your site reminds me of https://www.bitview.net/

My site doesn't seem to show up on the Neocities internal search or anything anymore, would anyone happen to know why?

The only shadowban I am aware of is the "jerk filter" which does not seem to apply to my account. It's only within the last few days I have noticed all of this too, so strange

I am so glad this project is still going strong, been a while since I've explored the site

While this is by no means a time sensitive matter, the lack of communication experienced through this entire process feels endemic of a larger issue with Neocities as a whole.
It's only just him... He's the only staff running neocity
I assumed your site was already NSFW tagged tbh. I bet they feel justified enough to force sites they deem NSFW to be tagged correctly (in their eyes).
He's very slow to answer to emails, I know from experience
