This package was rejected on 07 Nov 2021. The reviewer chocolatey-ops has listed the following reason(s):

dgalbraith (maintainer) on 02 Oct 2021 04:16:41 +00:00:

User 'dgalbraith' (maintainer) submitted package.

chocolatey-ops (reviewer) on 03 Oct 2021 15:09:36 +00:00:

flashpoint-launcher has passed automated validation. It may have or may still fail other checks like testing (verification).
NOTE: No required changes that the validator checks have been flagged! It is appreciated if you fix other items, but only Requirements will hold up a package version from approval. A human review could still turn up issues a computer may not easily find.

Notes

Notes typically flag things for both you and the reviewer to go over. Sometimes this is the use of things that may or may not be necessary given the constraints of what you are trying to do and/or are harder for automation to flag for other reasons. Items found in Notes might be Requirements depending on the context. A package version can be approved without addressing Note comments.

  • Binary files (.exe, .msi, .zip) have been included. The reviewer will ensure the maintainers have distribution rights. More...

flashpoint-launcher has passed automated package testing (verification). The next step in the process is package scanning.
Please visit https://gist.github.com/ac2ca982d43cfe9657c51bfb2aa98e2d for details.
This is an FYI only. There is no action you need to take.

chocolatey-ops (reviewer) on 03 Oct 2021 22:49:00 +00:00:

flashpoint-launcher has been flagged as part of automated virus scanning.
Package virus scanning found that at least 1 file within, or downloaded by, the package has greater than 10 VirusTotal detections associated with it.
This package is now in a waiting state while you review the findings and provide an updated package, or send a message in the package review box on the package page.

chocolatey-ops (reviewer) on 23 Oct 2021 15:11:09 +00:00:

We've found flashpoint-launcher v10.1.1 in a submitted status and waiting for your next actions. It has had no updates for 20 or more days since a reviewer has asked for corrections. Please note that if there is no response or fix of the package within 15 days of this message, this package version will automatically be closed (rejected) due to being stale.

Take action:

  • Log in to the site and respond to the review comments.
  • Resubmit fixes for this version.
  • If the package version is failing automated checks, you can self-reject the package.

If your package is failing automated testing, you can use the chocolatey test environment to manually run the verification and determine what may need to be fixed.

Note: We don't like to see packages automatically rejected. It doesn't mean that we don't value your contributions, just that we can not continue to hold packages versions in a waiting status that have possibly been abandoned. If you don't believe you will be able to fix up this version of the package within 15 days, we strongly urge you to log in to the site and respond to the review comments until you are able to.

chocolatey-ops (reviewer) on 07 Nov 2021 15:13:51 +00:00:

Unfortunately there has not been progress to move flashpoint-launcher v10.1.1 towards an approved status within 15 days after the last review message, so we need to close (reject) the package version at this time. If you want to pick this version up and move it towards approval in the future, use the contact site admins link on the package page and we can move it back into a submitted status so you can submit updates.

Status Change - Changed status of package from 'submitted' to 'rejected'.

Description
