I’m being harassed by a moderator in the Jedi Survivor forums
This moderator has banned me 3 times now and deleted my post so no one can read what I wrote. I’ve contacted Steam support but they are siding with the moderator.
Somebody please help me. I need someone to investigate this matter seriously.
Deleting this thread and telling me to contact Steam support isn’t going to help. Obviously. There most be someone higher up that I can appeal to.

If they wish to do that on their forums that's allowed.

When a game dev / publisher assigns their own moderators on their forums they can enforce their rules and a quick look at your post history shows the reason this is happening to you.

you get banned cause you troll and insult other people in that forum

I see multiple comments of yours that weren't deleted, so why don't you just be honest about what you said that got you banned and your comments deleted?

No i didn’t. Show me the posts. They don’t exist. But if you go over there right now you’ll see threads titled: “you all suck!” Etc… and they are not banned. I never insulted anyone.

Not depicted in this thread: You sitting around bashing the game repeatedly and complaining, offering zero constructive criticism.

Sounds like they got sick of you treating the forum like your personal rant blog.

My thread was deleted just now entitled “Who has the last laugh?”
In it I explained that I tried to warn people not to preorder the game and buy day one, and the mod there vindictively banned me. 3 times now. Simply for stating the truth. Meanwhile other thread telling people that the “suck” go unpunished. It’s total hypocrisy

You have multiple posts still insulting the game and the devs I see and all of those can get you banned also.

mods delete offensive posts, course they don't "exist" to users, but they're visible to the mods

Not true, I repeated advised people not to buy day one and support lazy development and to feed exploitation of PC gamers.

It’s lies. Are far as I know the mod only deleted my last thread to hide the fact I didn’t say anything offensive. Hopefully it can be recovered and investigated.

And yet your post history is chalk full of you just sitting around bashing the game/devs. We can see an established pattern.


Regardless, if Steam Support agrees with the decision. There's nothing that can be done, you'll need to wait out the ban and return with actual constructive criticism.

Wording it that way is a great way to get yourself banned.

I know people have been banned and then come back and make posts like”I’m Back” or something of the like, then criticizing mods which is not allowed and then getting banned again within minutes. Or they basically continue the type of thing that got them banned in the first place like harassment, bullying, flaming etc. you might be able to find out more from here

It’s total hypocrisy. Others are literally calling each other names in the thread titles no less and not being banned. But I’m banned repeated just for advising people not to day one purchase a game, not to pay the price hike, to stop funding and supporting lazy pc ports.

I never targeted or attacked any specific individual, only the EA company

There are threads there basically identical to mine. They haven’t been banned. I’m being targeted personally. Please, go over there and see for yourself.
