Shadowbanned from posting games

Is it possible to be shadowbanned from posting games (for reasons related to the creator OR the game itself)?

I have a game with a unique title and a unique description that is public AND visible on my profile, but when I search the name of the game, it does not appear in searches (I’ve tried on my computer, private browsing, my Xbox, and my phone). I have scrolled as far as you can possibly scroll and have yet to find my game but can find other games with 0 visits and a similar title (my game has 7 visits but 3 likes to zero dislikes).

My account is in good standing to my knowledge, although I did have a game get DMCA’ed many years ago.

Is it because my game is single player or could it be something else?

Did you try putting quotation marks while searching?

“gamename”

That seems to work, including on private browsing, so it’s good to know my game is not totally inaccessible, but it’s still disappointing to see it totally buried, even below games with ZERO visits when searching the title word-for-word without quotation marks.

Your game isn’t shadowbanned, it’s just Roblox’ bad search algorythm that doesn’t like to show games that have low amounts of visits

I guess that makes sense, I just don’t understand why a game with with 0 visits would show up when I search but my game with 7 visits doesn’t. :joy:
