Publishing your listing

New listings start unpublished: visible only in your dashboard, on no public surface — not the game hub, not search, not the sitemap, and the vote API won't accept hearts for it. You put it live yourself the moment it's ready. There is no approval queue for accounts in good standing.

The publish gate

The Publish button sits top-right of your dashboard's Overview tab. It unlocks when the listing has the five required items (the listing checklist marks them Required):

A description is not required to publish — but a good one earns hearts, so write it when you can. Until the gate passes, the button shows how many required items are left.

Publishing is instant: the listing goes live everywhere at once and search engines are pinged about the new URL.

Unpublishing

You can take your listing offline any time from the Settings tab. Unpublished listings keep all their data and hearts history; re-publishing is instant again (just the same gate). Useful for big maintenance windows or pre-launch listings you're still polishing.

Moderation — what Delisted means

Moderation on MMOLove is reactive: nobody pre-approves your listing, but a moderator can pull a live listing that breaks the rules. If that happens:

• the status chip shows Delisted — changes required, with the moderator's reason on your Settings tab (you also get it by email, with a direct link);
• your account is flagged for review: until staff clear the flag, every publish — this listing or a new one — goes through the review queue;
• the button becomes Submit for review: fix the issue, submit, and a human (assisted by an automatic triage) approves or rejects with a reason.

The status chip under your server's name always tells you where you are: Unpublished (neutral) → Under review (amber) → Delisted — changes required (red) → no chip when published.

Don't own the listing yet?

If your server was listed by the community, claim it first — claiming unlocks the dashboard, and publishing works exactly as above from there.
