Unfair Ban for general Discussion

[EagleHunter]

* Permanently ban from steam game forum.
* Moderator have not gave me a good reason.
* Steam support will not lift the ban say its up to the developer to decide.
* The ban was because i ask if they wanted to know about a really good idea for the game? Nothing political or religious or agaisnt steam rules.
* Post was also very short.

* I have not broken any steam rules as steam support did not mention anything.

* Can you be ban for any kind of post you done on their steam game forum?

They can ban you for simply existing, yes. Their house, their rules, their decisions.

Keep in mind, game hubs are ran by game devs and their appointed moderators. They can have rules that deviate from Steams.

No rules on why i was ban no policy broken.

Steam support can reverse ban but for some reason they will not for this.
No rude, political or religion post.

No. Steam Support gave you their answer and their answer is final. Your post history is also public, so it's quite obvious that you did not simply have "a real good idea about the game."

You should also note that discussing a game forum hub ban is against the Steam General Discussion forum rules.

The community message in which the ban was issued can be replied to. But that doesn't mean they will unban you. Steam support also will not help. Developers / Publishers are allowed to manage their Steam community forum as they see fit. If they don't want you on it, for whatever reason, Steam support will not over rule them.

Only way to contact Steam Support is thru the ticket system

The ironic part is that they will pamper trolls who deliberately cause trouble by frequently harassing folks and inciting arguments. And if its not naming and shaming, they get nothing but slaps on the wrists, but never actually punishing them at all (though some publishers/developers love to abuse their powers in their forums on Steam).

I got banned all be it a temp one from call of the wild forums years back for suggesting they added lions to shoot , ironic thing is few months later they did just that, so they banned me just because they wanted to LOL.

Yeah... something tells me we're missing a lot of context here
And rthe word ;'good' is doing an uncomfortable amount of lifting. OP. Care to state what the reason they gave was?

[Zyco]

This is how these crazy people operate.. and the mindless people in here defending it is even more hilarious.

Your ban from the BG forums was BY YOUR OWN ADMISSION was for spamming religious nonsense

If you’re going to lie about being “banned for no reason” try harder

It’s always “rules for thee not for me” as if your own actions were 100% not the reason you got banned. The moderators are NOT your personal hit squad, so stop insisting they be one

[CptnSpandex]

Biggest piece of advice i could ever give on a steam forum, Never ever question the mod or say anything about one, it is actually in the steam conduct rules and can get you a permanent steam ban if they so wished, not just a forum specific ban.

Posting here isn't going to change the answer you received both from the mod and support.The only venues are either the support system (which you've already tried) or by making a reply in the ban notice and hope for a mod replying back.

The Steam discussions aren't the right place to dispute specific bans. We encourage you to contact Steam Support.
