Why do the mods on steam have double standards?

[Lord Farquad]

Look at the Bg3 forums. there is a user constantly spamming guides, which breaks the advertisment TOS. then they constantly bully and harass people, they even stoop to name calling and childish mudslinging to get them worked up so they can say something out of anger, then the user mass reports them falsely saying they harassed them! which leads to the persons ban! this is CLEARLY DOUBLE STANDARD AND SHOWING FAVORITISM TO THE BULLY. ( and no, i will not name names. since that breaks TOS, but we are allowed to talk about it. just not who the user is)
edit1. And yes, said user has been reported multiple times. but nothing is ever done. But when the user reports you falsely, you get banned. sometimes a perma ban. With report tickets being made asking about this, a bot reply is sent saying the person harassing and spamming is not breaking TOS. which is just dumb.
Edit2. Screenshots on page 3. if you use smaller comments.

You have to remember that in this special snowflake society of ours everything is considered a personal insult, and the younger/more sheltered you where (see helicopter parenting) the worse that person will be(come).

I can only imagine that people in the US growing up in effing suburbia and only having the internet as the outside world will turn into quite the monster.

You have the same symptom with sheltered men who never got hurt in their entire life thinking they're unstoppable until a permanent event (solution?) comes into their lives.

They don't joke when they say that the 80s was the most liberal time humanity will ever experience, even if there were some bad things due to typical propaganda which humanity has experienced since before the dawn of civilization.

1. Disengage
2. Block
3. Report
4. Move on

Dont ignore steps #1, #2 and #4. So far, it seems you've performed #3 only, despite #1 being the most important one.

something i've never thought about before....( yes, im being sarcastic) and no, im not going to sit idle when someone is abusing reports

As I mentioned earlier, if the game in question has lot of "themes" then you can count on having no power at all, and the lower it goes on the morality index the higher the chance that you get in trouble. For instance, reporting someone that is buddy buddy with the mod(s), either it gets completely ignored or you get a warning for misbehavior or worse.

This has nothing to do with gender. Why do you keep bringing that up?

Because you are missing the point on what BG3 so popular. Because the game has THEMES it means you can't criticize it. It is as simple as that.

TLDR: You don't criticize woke games, be it in offtopic discussions or otherwise. You don't discuss anything but positive notes in BG3s forum, do you understand?

none of what i said has anything to do with that. No one was arguing about what you are complaining about. This is someone abusing the report system.

Abusing reports will not do anything unless the people in charge agree the rules were broken.

Its abuse if the person breaking the rules NEVER gets banned. yet they always mass report someone to get them banned,

I strongly suspect the manner uin which the normal person said that was quite so banal.

naw. i watched the guy get banned. He just asked "why are you being rude when i asked for help" i refresh the page, and his comment is gone and said he is banned. Yes i am banned. yes, because i defended the user who got banned for no reason. when all the guy did was say he needed help dont be rude.

Mmm-Hmm . Again. I suspect there's more to this than you're saying. How convenient that we cannot see the post the person was supposedly banned for.

Sorry m8 byut years of experience and data points have taught me that people who complain about being punished usually did something to get punished and it is seldom what they claim to be punished for,

But hey. If you feel the moderators on the BG3 forum are acting improperly. then contact the dev/pubs and let them look at it.

Just look at the forums yourself lad. it happens alot. And to be honest. i should of taken a screencapture of what they guy said, then it getting deleted. the guy did nothing wrong. But the person who abuses it, reported it as harassment. (then again, posting those kinds of screenshots break tos. so it would need to be censored with the names)

Oh I have and as said. WHat I see leads me more to side with moderation.
As said though if you feel there's an issue with that hubs Moderation, contact the dev/pubs This doesn't involve Valve's moderation.

So you think its fair that one person constantly breaks the tos, and wrongfully gets people banned, and that the mods are right? Now i know where you stand against mod abuse..
( yes, there are times where they do the right thing. but half of the time, they do the wrong thing, and always side with that one person, which would show favoritism or connections. which is just corrupt)
Edit. Plus, the moderation for the game on the STEAM Forums is still steam.

Break the rules. NO. But UI suspect this is less about the rules and more YOUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE RULES. OPeople have a bad habit of confusing their subjective and biased interpretations of things as objective fact.


As said. Drop and email to the dev/pubs./ Thsi was done by their moderators. Not Valv's ergo not Valve's call.

Harassment and bullying. name calling and mud slinging is against the bg3 forum rules on steam. So is spam advertising links and guides. I know what rules are. And i follow them.
And from my knowledge. Telling someone thanks for trying to help, but i dont need these guides due to them being unrelated to what was asked. Is not breaking rules. But them proceeding to harass the guy then belittle their intelligence doesnt break tos?. Reporting against that user never works. They have never had a ban, even tho its constantly being broken. ( and to mention, they have guides that SHOW USERNAMES telling people to target said person who they have a picture of in the guide) It thats not TOS, then was isnt? and yes. STEAM moderators also do things on the forums on here. They lock and ban discussions. And since they have the valve employee tag on their name. Then that means Steams moderators as well, have a factor into this.
