🎉 A priority queue for smaller games is now used for butler build processing. This should prevent gigabyte games delaying smaller games from getting their builds published. Tell us if you are still seeing long processing times for smaller games, as we may need to tweak the thresholds.

* Butler processing times can be too long. I used butler to incrementally publish updates to the game. I was doing real time testing but I would notice sometimes the queue would delay like 20 minutes. We should have separate queue to process tiny games fast separate from big games that hog resources

We've rolled out a spam detector update that should be much better with detecting hacked accounts that post fake "game updates" in comments, among other things. We also did a pass on collection spammers Spam is a never ending battle, but hopefully this update should noticeably improve the situation

leaf corcoran@leafo.itch.io

* The spam situation is really bad, the game added to man spam collections, spam comments were posted. I'm sorry. I knew it's been an issue but seeing that stuff on a game I made feels different. I'm spending some extra time this week to re-evaluate how we handle spam.

This update should update should also address a lot of "false positive" scenarios where non malicious users were getting their comments stuck in the pending post queues. Tell us if you still are spotting issues, more updates on the way.
