Ex... "Ban notification from [TITLE]"
EDIT: The top of the message should tell you what kind of mod banned you, but you can dispute your ban in that very community message you received. If that doesn't work and you still feel the ban was unfair, you can reach out to the Steam Support.
1. Reply to the ban message politely.
2. Contact support using the link within the message.

Stop breaking the rules and the PAID MODERATION STAFF won’t ban you

There is no reply option for the message either, or a link to follow; maybe its because I'm using mobile (android).
I took a screenshot however, I'll link it below:

As for appealing the ban, I don't see much of a need, I don't use that forum much and if I do it's just to read other posts. The only inconvenience is the big red box every time I visit there.
However if it was a steam employee or volunteer I feel that they should be less biased, but I doubt demanding they be less biased and shouting about it is going to change anything.
Steam Support staff, not volunteer. The only reason they were there in the first place was due to your posts being reported.
For Support Staff, no need. That is what contacting Steam support will do.
I have no idea what you mean about this, what does communism have to do with the actions of steam staff?
What posts pivoted and where? You aren't making much sense.
Only if you knew who it was. Contacting support does the same if you don't know who it is.
I was banned a couple of months ago by steam support in the Warframe discussions when players from Warframe China were flooding the forums with angry posts (a translator broke an NDA, got fired and the translation was reverted to automatic (aka Google) translate) all I did there was post a meme of Xi Jinping next to whinnie the pooh and post links to a YouTube news channel called China Uncensored (there was no graphic content or bad language in the videos) I didn't know if that was steam or not but never asked.
Years ago (maybe 5 years? when was Garrys Incident released?) I got banned from a discussion forum and a whole lot more information was given, name of the moderator and the specific post in question.
As I've already said I don't see any point in contacting support, employees in the same company are more likely to cover for each other, especially when there is little to no transparency to the recipient of a ban, as such it would be wasted time on my part to even contact support. I just wanted to know if it was a game developer moderator as I also mentioned in the thread that Disco Elysium while a good game wasn't worth 10s from every games journalism outlet (its more of a 7.5 to me, though that's my opinone) and I thought it might have been an angry developer moderator, but it was a steam mod. Not much I can do about that.
It seems that steam, just like Google/YouTube and Facebook are changing I guess.
This whole post gave me a laugh . Thanks. :)
When the game itself covers politics I think commentary is good, though I get the sentiment, you can't talk about politics or religion anywhere online anymore unless you are doing so the "right way" which varies from place to place though I find that most tech companies seem to have a common bias now.
There isn't much more I can say really without even getting slightly political so I'll leave things as they are. A steam employee (or volunteer) handed out the ban and I doubt there's anything that can be done about that, there's no point in wasting my time making a ticket about a moderator who didn't even bother leaving their username when banning me.
Oh well, I guess playing games is much more fun.
