Reply politely to the warning.

Replying politely to the warning is not arguing .

thats what a common human would think, which is NOT what happens on steam. we both know this, but they still would consider it arguing, its quiet pathetic what mods get away with.

Been here a long time. Replying politely is not going to make things worse.

Thats literally not true, I have gotten rid of 2 warnings with the help of Support myself.

"Openly arguing" is what this post generally is, arguing about your ban/the mod out in the open where the rest of us can read about it. Replying to the notice is not in the open as none of us can read it.

but i mean to give someone a slap on the wrist cause they dont agree with your pricing, to me is abuse.

Yeah, polite goes really far and is unlikely to make it worse. At the least, you get nothing, at the best they remove it.

Curious was it support or a game hub mod, and what game?

Else you can make a support ticket, but ensure you come across genuine and polite.

I see some rude messages in your post history. Keep in mind that it's not always what you say, but how you say it. You can make a point without calling things trash, pathetic, etc.
That's why you're being told here to respond politely.

Amazing how many people seem to miss this simple point.

Anyway, OP, I would recommend contacting support about it. As others mentioned, I have also had an erroneous warning removed through this method. Frankly, you have nothing to lose. But again, also as others have said, if or when you submit your ticket, respectfulness and humility go a long way.

All mods abuse their power. Most of the mods, that I've been banned on forums are for, trivial things. There are too many multinational moderators here, that have biased opinions about people. With that being said, they have no unbiased opinion and take many things out of context. Language barriers are the main factor. If I say something I one language you don't speak very well, and just because you can, doesn't mean in my language of what you think it means in yours. You get banned just because, they didn't understand your meaning. When they don't understand your meaning, they just ban you, no warning, nothing. I'm from the USA and everyone of my bans have been by foreign national moderators whether they're German, French or, any nationality but American. If you get into an argument with someone from their national origin, you get the ban and they get a warning. The proof is on the posts on the forums, afterwards. Game devs are the worst about banning people for their opinion and everyone has the rights to post about a game they purchased whether it be positive or, negative. Steam support will not help, they got your money and that's all they care about.

It's the very point of the warning/ban notices. To have a space for the user to privately request more information about the ban.

Note the rule OP seems to be wary about says: Do not Openly argue with a moderator. Ban/warning notices are private.

THAT is abuse. Abusive mods REPEATEDLY do it.

The problem with steam mods is that they only use auto generated, prepared responses to try and "prevent offending" people.

Then why do people get offended?

Last month I sent a ticket repeating the word abuse, over and over again. The mods locked my tickets for a month. Awwww, what's the matter, don't like being called out on your own HYPOCRISY?

It all started when I made a topic on steam general called "mod abuse". It was deleted.

Ex mods confirm my concerns.
Cops confirm evasive habits proves GUILT.
Therapists say it's important to hold the harder conversations.

I have every reason to believe wilful ignorance gets people killed from ignorance and stupidty. Abusive mods REPEATEDLY do this. Over and over to many people.

It does get people not only hurt, but also killed. Online. I know this.

This is all prevented by listening and paying attention. This is all prevented by not making excuses to shut down communication when you don't like what you hear. Do that and problem solved.

The reason people try to silence you is because they are afraid of how their own actions can hurt others. This leads to evasive habits,when people are being close minded. Which in turn leads to trying to avoid accountability, refusing to consider their own good intentions can be the problem.

The abusive steam mods ignored concerns about danger, sanity and even death. After abuse was called out. Repeteadly Are you people ok with this?

Abusive mods, refusing to listen: You ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up.
