I believe you may be misunderstanding your responsibility with regards to the asset licenses and attribution. You are NOT required to inform the authors that you are using their assets. You ARE required to give them attribution in your game (not on OpenGameArt). This means listing the author, the asset, the license, and a link to the asset page in your game's credits file or credits screen. "Attribution" does not mean listing a link to your game on the asset page.
It is often polite to let the author know that you are using their asset in your game, but you posted 126 messages with a copy-and-paste template including a link to your game and a large advertisement-like image. This is difficult for the spam filter to distinguish as a heart-felt thanks to authors. The removal of your comments was automated and temporary. They aren't deleted, just hidden for now. In the future, if you are going to post a large volume of comments like this, I would recommend something more brief, such as "Thanks for sharing this. I used it in my game. Visit my profile page for a link to it."
"...Therefore, I leave it up to OpenGameArt to inform its customers/users about what has been done..." "...Assim, deixo sob total responsabilidade da OpenGameArt informar aos seus clientes/usuários a respeito do que foi feito e retirado do ar..."
This is incorrect. It is still your responsibility to adhere to the terms of the licenses, it is not OGA's responsibility. However, notifying the author and other users that you are using the asset is not a requirement of any license. You should be notifying your players which assets and licenses were used in your game, not the authors of the assets.
Again, it is sometimes polite to inform the author's as well as your players, but informing the authors is not what the licenses require, and it should be done in a way that doesn't look like spam. We are happy to help in this regard if you have any other questions.
I recognize the "backup snapshot scrubbed of user data" is likely the preferred option, and one that does reduce resource costs for our sysadmin team. However, it does still require some work on the part of our sysadmins, so we may not be able to give that solution a try until much later. If time is of the essence, you may elect to try Isaiah's throttled webscraper option, since it doesn't require you to wait on us to have some free time. I'll present it to the sysadmins, but can't promise any sort of timeframe.
As Isaiah 65:8 said, we spoke about his plan prior to implementation. There is no issue with doing the same thing as long as you are placing a reasonable throttle on it just has he did.

@omar20101021: This isn't really the kind of thing Kenney has time to respond to. However, it also isn't that difficult to determine it yourself:
Which comment?
Done.
Yes. But are we both talking about THE same MrBeast?
Thanks. Fixed.
