don´t worry about that.As you have claimed, the archive group has had this (mostly) covered. I have been dealing with college exams as well this week.

> However this late discovery of this event made me think. Whether there could be any better ways to "detect" any potential "threats" like this as early as possible to gain maximum advantage.

well, unless that one sets up alarms in the way that mobile or message notifications work, I highly doubt that anything will beat the usual method of reporting it manually by opening a thread on /mlp/ or something that serves as a bait for seeking the attention to those happenings in a public manner.

> I was thinking of some RSS reader on steroids that would watch specific feed for specific keywords and it could launch other "actions" depending on the keyword located
that sounds neat. 

> we would still be technically relying on other people to actually post the happenings, but it could be potentially very effective.
that would actually create a greater diffusion about the happening and even by doing so, it would increase the chances of getting reported on EQD and even other fansites (even though Seth has usually reported these occurrences, I am not sure why he hasn´t reported this event yet)  while it also executes the actions automatically. 

> The main problem that comes to mind would be to detect the correct keywords and filter out false positives as it directly affects effectivity.
that´s a tricky issue and there should be more parameters that are just specific for those cases. 

Whether this method works or not, there is always a margin of time for acting, the deletions cannot happen overnight. You have run into this issue late but these announcements have to be constantly be shown in an upfront  manner because applying said sudden actions, without any clear news that notify the developers,could cause more harm than good for the site. If there have been any games deleted that weren´t given any warning beforehand, there should be rights to claim them because of that unwarranted hit.

What they say here:
< Unfortunately in the process we didn't consider or provide any opportunity for you to migrate your game and community elsewhere. Additionally, we miscategorised some games incorrectly, and didn't provide a transparent process to appeal this decision.

I haven´t known this site but seeing this annoys me so much to see their utter irresponsibility for handling the matter. 

There should have been a month or a reasonable period of time for all the developers to take actions that would leave them enough room for action but this screams as a dirty move for keeping the deadlines towards those juicy signings in the contracts rather than keeping a flexible date for warning the developers/contributors. 

It´s not only about the gray areas for deleting the games but they have also handled this in questionable manners that it doesn´t deserve any source of income. No way professionals make such radical shifts in the philosophy of an online store so fast.

What do I think about this? Perhaps it´s not about setting up a notification system because that doesn´t solve the actual root of the problem. What needs to be fixed are adults that handle sites like these, we need professionals, not incompetents that copy the messy policies that ruined Tumblr (and attempting to copy Discord so badly). Decisions of this kind deserve no respect and those apologies sound more like an excuse for getting ahead and save explanations for their mistakes in the future. 

Shame on them for committing a rushed treason to all the affected content and playing abruptly with the finances of the developers.
