Hi guys,

Please, please, please do not hesitate to message me or another staff member if someone is using our site's private messaging system in such a way as to make you uncomfortable. You have every right to use our site without being subject to private messages that make you feel unsafe or uneasy. You should never feel pressured into not speaking up.

Every private message chain has a block and report button underneath that allows you to quickly and easily block communications with a specific user, and (if you choose to) submit a report to the administrators so that they can investigate any relevant message chains and act in your best interest to keep you safe. If you'd rather talk about the situation with a site moderator, we can also forward your concerns to the admins (with your permission). Reporting a user through their profile will also put the situation on our radar so the team -- as a whole -- can put energy into investigating the situation for you.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out.

We've extended the voting period by 3 days to help make up for the confusion on how to vote. In addition, we've added a "Finalists" count & link on the jam profile bar and updated the "Rate Entries" button to link directly to finalists that you have yet to vote on. This should make it much easier to start voting & pick up where you left off.

🏖️ If you haven't already, rank the finalists in this jam! * Must be level 5+ to cast ratings.

🌺 Having trouble voting??! Are you level 5+ Start here! This is your list of unrated finalists. You can change the sorting to view other personalized lists as well.

We're aware of how confusing it currently is to vote. Next week, we will make it clearer and easier to vote in finalist jams plus extend the voting period of this jam and encourage voting. Sorry for any frustration!

Have fun and soak up the sunshine! 🌞
