The Steam subreddit has mods abusing their powers, the subreddit is cancerious; anti-opinion, anti-mental illness, mob mentality.

https://i.imgur.com/umijvzv.png As you can see this is a terrible reason (excuse) for my post to get removed, my kinds of posts end up on r/Steam all the time. Ones posing basic, simple questions. This didn't sit well with some of the people on this subreddit, and I managed to offend one of the moderators. So the moderator then decided to remove and lock the post even though it doesn't violate the rules at all. If this was some rule actively in effect most of the posts on r/Steam would be removed, but are they? No, this is just a form of mob mentality because someone isn't with the herd and thinks for themselves. And I've been silenced for thinking for myself, they were just looking for a reason to silence and ban me. Great way to promote freedom of speech, r/Steam.

https://i.imgur.com/jT1EeW5.png For hours on end up I had to put up with people attacking me for simply having an opinion that isn't the majority's, for being "mentally ill." I had people calling me "mentally ill" and telling me to STFU or saying I'm a ♥♥♥♥♥ then proceeding to downvote every reddit post I made from the past 6 months in order to "silence" whatever I say. It's a cancerous place full of mob mentality and status quo people and the mods approve and enforce it.

This post was up for about 14 hours before a moderator suddenly decided it violated the rules and I am to be permanently banned. Just looking for an excuse to silence someone because it's not the majority's opinion. None of the other posts where I was called "mentally ill" or told to "STFU" or called a "♥♥♥♥♥" got reported, removed or anything, that speaks volumes about the moderators doesn't it? It also shows that this is bogus.

I never initiated any form of attack on someone during this thread, people started attacking me and I simply returned the favour because people made a replies to me calling me "mentally ill," saying I'm "♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥" for asking a question and people telling me to "STFU" and just general name calling instead of addressing the subject. No matter because the thread wasn't removed for that... it was removed for somehow being "effortless content" even though there's many threads on the subreddit like mine.

https://i.imgur.com/0xvMYgW.png I decided to make an appeal pointing out that it doesn't violate the rules and it was ignored, and I just got permanently banned from the entire subreddit for not being able to "have a discussion." Even though I wasn't the one who resorted to anti-mental illness sentiment, name calling and telling people to "STFU" for having a differing opinion. That just shows what kind of people who run it. People who hate any freedom of speech or any sort of individuality. They only let people in who are no different from everyone else.

I wonder what a person with a disability or mental illness like schizophrenia gets treated like among Steam and reddit users and mods. What a nasty piece of work, I actually have family members and friends with mental illness and have mentioned it in passing on my reddit before which is where most of these "mentally ill" or "mental help" claims came from after looking through my profile to downvote my posts.

https://i.imgur.com/jT1EeW5.png I never insulted anyone unless they insulted me in this thread, I had to deal with people calling me "mentally ill" or told to "STFU" constantly or claim I'm a "♥♥♥♥♥" or "♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and whining" for asking a question. However those posts were not removed, those people were not banned. Why is that? It's simple, I'm not "normal" like them and I don't have the same views as the status quo and have a "mental illness" which is why I was banned, not because of anything else.

I tried to start a conversation about something and got attacked for it because I didn't share the majority's opinion. The mods didn't like that, they want absolute conformity, no differing of opinions. If you dare step out of that line you will get attacked then they'll say "u started it."

I don't expect this thread to stay unlocked, but just as long as enough people read it to know that the only rule on this subreddit is to agree with the majority's opinions, feelings and views or else you will be silenced. Thinking for yourself is a violation of the rules on this subreddit.

Individuality is dead, so is freedom of speech and decency.

Well given what Satoru said, seems like a lot of that was spot-on. Don't post there, or learn to read the room. Throwing insults around doesn't matter who started it. It's your business to keep your own posts clean.

I only called two people "normie" after they said way worse things such as "mentally ill" and "♥♥♥♥♥." https://i.imgur.com/jT1EeW5.png If that takes it too far, then exactly what makes it acceptable for these people to say those things simply because I asked a question? I wasn't throwing around insults, there was a mob that was.

In this light of satorus post, did you know that win 7 reads your hard drive each day for a long time, so i assume it reads a lot,
for "compatibility reasons"? Every day?

You only notice it when you watch the light of the hard drive when pc thinks its alone, at a specific time.


What i try to say,
disable things. This "feature" is compatelappraiser or so.
When you have done it with your win 7, you had no idea, did you?
think about doing settings in win 10

I didn't know about that though, interesting.

I saw it and was fast with processexplorer, the read stops soon after you use pc.

Read about compatelrunner (i think that was the name of the running process). And disable the auto task with the name in the articles.
Same in win 10.

I do not recommend to use win 7 in the internet, its unsafe by now.

It is up to YOU to post "clean".

What happens with anyone else is "ignore it, move on". Basic internet etiquette. don't stoop to their level, you won't get smacked when you are the one throwing ANY insult. Doesn't matter who flung the first stone.

Also, just one other point OP.

Freedom of speech doesn't apply to a private platform where you agreed to the rules on creating an account. Even if it did, you'd still not be free from the consequences of your actions. It's not a get out of jail free card for everything in life.

And really, a Steam subreddit ban hardly counts as grounds for invoking the first amendment.

It's ok I have extended security updates which will be around until 2023, I'll just switch to Linux after that. I'll read up about that though, I never knew about it.

My initial posts were clean until multiple people started saying that stuff, I am very much an eye for an eye person and I've been that way all my life.

I'm not going to put up with someone looking at my reddit history to downvote my posts and finding out about me mentioning mental illness among my family then deciding to call me "mentally ill" or that I need "mental help" for x, y, z. It's ok though, I deleted those posts and I don't care if I'm unwelcome to a subreddit that does stuff like that.

I should've said "expressing my opinion" rather than "freedom of speech." All I was doing at first was giving an opinion and asking a question about a subject without violating the rules. Then I had to defend myself against a mob. I'd expect that from a place like 4chan, but reddit?

There's the rub though.

You DON'T have to 'defend yourself'.

You need to grow up and learn to ignore people that are throwing those kinds of insults, and engage only with the folks who seem capable of not insulting.

But throwing insults BACK is a mistake. Strongly suggest not doing that, even if baited. Getting so overly defensive is what is going to continue to poke at you, probably want to work on that online.

And as others have stated too: you don't get to just say anything you like. There is no 'freedom' of any kind, and never forget that expressing an opinion also means you don't get to decide what other people feel or think about it. Why 'ignore, block, move on' is the mantra.

I should be allowed to express an opinion without people trying to shut me down, I am only defending myself because people were trying to do exactly that. If it was just a comment I made on YouTube with someone calling me a name, I wouldn't care.

This is a different situation, I'm being shut down just for sharing an opinion outside of the norm. Why do you think I called them normie after they called me mentally ill? I'd say the latter insult is far worse.

If it's somehow my fault for defending myself then that's just another reason I wouldn't care to be in the subreddit. I don't even care that I'm banned, it's just the excuse as to why I'm banned and it's because I'm not within the norm with my opinion and somehow "mentally ill" for it. The majority spoke and they're somehow right even if they're wrong, so now I'm branded as "mentally ill" and I'm banished.

There's a difference as well as feeling or thinking differently about an opinion as opposed to resorting to stalking someone's subreddit and their profile then calling them "mentally ill" a "♥♥♥♥♥" and telling them to "STFU" because they have an opinion. Again, I've never had an issue like that in another subreddit. I've had people disagree with me and downvote me for sure, but resort to a mob like that? No.

Contest you Reddit ban on Reddit. The first link you posted even states how at the bottom.

Posting here won't get the ban removed as most of us don't even have or use Reddit.

Keep in mind that you don't have to have initiated anything to have broken the rules. I suggest ignoring and reporting the user(s) if they insult you in the future. As the saying goes "Two wrongs don't make a right."
