Steam moderators

[Shirokamii]

Nowadays everything can get you banned whereas trolls are allowed to roam freely without consequences.
Bring back the old mods !!

"Sussy baka," literally means, "suspicious idiot," so I doubt the baby talk had anything to do with it.

yeah they like to call people names and then theyre playing all victim when they get moderated for it

I can't speak to all uses of the meme throughout the entire time on the internet. But I viewed it as a very ironically said catchphrase after Dean Norris picked it up. Like it's the user themselves being intentionally and ironically cringe as an attempt at humour when saying it.

But I also don't fault moderation for acting against it initially. It isn't mod abuse to ban for it. Moderators can't know every catch phrase or meme on the internet. But the person can probably get the ban overturned if they explain the context to support if I'm right.

The main issue muddying the water here is talking about piracy is usually what gets you actually banned and that was also being discussed according to the original dude. Even if you're just responding to piraters and not actually saying anything positively affirming towards piracy, this can still get you banned. Just like if you talk about emulation you can eat random bans for it regardless of what you are saying. Moderators just randomly ban people for it because it's against the rules to discuss it in general.

You contact Steam Support. Talking about it here is pointless.

The sad part is that Steam Support will not lift a wrongful ban at all, so even Support does no good.

I beg to differ. They've lifted several bans for me. If they are deemed to be excessive, they will be lifted. I use the word excessive, because it is the word they used.

You were lucky, then. I had no such luck myself.

i have sent a ticket, let's see how they response, this might drop the last bit of tiny faith i have in them

guy was asking about his piracy game not working, i came replied with a pikachu face comment then i am the one that got banned, not that dude, ridiculous.

I feel like they have hired some trolls who are causing problems with moderation. My theory is that one of them marcasiting as a steam customer got pissed off at you and now banned you with no chance at appeal

We need to hear, and respect others views.

Unless of course it's a view you dislike in which it'll be met with intentionally flippant/sarcastic behavior, or from a user you dislike so you'll try to besmirch their reputation via vague digs like "internet lawyer".

I've never started a fight here on steam. It's others going at me, and i just respond to their insults.

I was banned many Times so the Mods are doing what they should :)

You will Not get a Bann for calling a Game dead, Flop or Woke... This is the only Stuff Trolls use

All of the internet has been killed off by the weak, easily offended generation. Everything is censored and over-moderated so you have to tiptoe on eggshells in every discussion because everything is bannable. Such progress society has made. Amazing.

The internet is the Revenge of the Nerds played out on the world...

over the last 5 years and much more so since the recent crime against humanity saw people getting increasingly isolated at home, the positions of social media and forum moderators and admins have gradually become perma-occupied by hateful no-lifers who use their position to get a sense of power to compensate for the total powerlessness and misery IRL. this is why arbitary and selfish bans for simply stating the wrong thing a bit too persuasively are so common now, and "forum rules" are often a joke.

These people need therapy but will not realise it until some time later when depression really hits.

I can only agree. What I don't understand is the need to silence other people for having opinions another doesn't like, or for being offensive. It just reminds me of how people wanted Jesus dead simply for saying things other people didn't want to hear. The same spirit is behind this.

Not once have I ever reported anyone else here, no matter what they said to me or what arguments we had. The fact that words on a screen, even those that don't even come close to promoting crime or violence, have to constantly be removed because people are now so sensitive and can't handle it is a disgrace.

Discourse and debate online, one of the greatest platforms for it, has been ended by this stuff.

It simply doesn't matter.

You're sounding very different from the very hostile and condemning posts you once had about others in forums I've seen before (not that they bothered me, I generally agree). Not sure if this is some sort of conversion or rather another case of people not practicing what they preach, but instead virtue-signaling their having risen above it all as their mood temporarily entails.

But that lackadaisical -almost pacifist- attitude is not going to help either. Many of us are well-aware that things are worse elsewhere in the world, but that doesn't mean we should stop trying to maintain the good things that we do have here. If we can't even have the freedom of open discussion online without the threat of AI policing our speech, how are we supposed to share information, test our beliefs, or solve any problems we have when we can't even speak about them?

I sweat the small things because that's how it all starts; gradually with the small stuff so you're called a lunatic if you try to call attention to the changes, and then it snowballs until your everyday life has been affected and changed outside of whatever area you're concerned with, be it the internet or anything else. If anything, people need to sweat these things more and stop being so passive or worse yet- an accomplice to it.

The new meta on steam the last few years is to bait out replies that you can then report. People are weaponizing reports to claim spaces. Realize that this is what people do, and act accordingly.

BS.

Volunteer mods were 1000% times worse. Volunteer mods would ban people they didn't like, shield their friends, and basically act like a menace to show off their "power." They were no different than reddit or discord mods.

Then why is it the people that have complained about them the most, the community messages overwhelmingly if not entirely shows "Banned by a member of Steam Support"?

They usually just locked threads or gave written messages that kept troublemakers in line, or told them that they were wrong. These conspiracies about the vmods and spreading disinformation about them doesn't help anything. It only helps people angry about being moderated continue rather than improve their behavior.

Community mods are almost always extremely terrible.

Steam moderation is mostly okay and bipartisan. Community moderation is not.

People need to realize these two are completely different things. When you're issued a ban, look at the top. If it says "steam support", it's from steam. If it says from a "community moderator" or "developer" it's from the people behind the game itself.

I assume it's because steam mods have a lot of pressure behind them to stay neutral. Game dev/mods, not so much.

Totally agree,

I have personally noticed that steam doesn't take account of world's views. For example more than half the world are against woke and trans movement. There are many users internationally their home countries either have laws or death penalty applied for being one.

On steam, they will ban anyone who speaks out against them. The old saying goes "respect is two way street". Even that doesn't apply to steam community forums.

Which we need to change that. It is not offensive if one is against it. In other words steam community forms caters to woke group instead of being open minded. This is why Facebook, twitter, and Reddit took an account of differ views and it is not bannable offense.

World view does not matter. Saying someone deserves the death penalty because their beliefs differ from your own is NOT deserving of respect in the slightest.

these are steam discussions you accepted the rules when you signed up to steam
if your worldviews don't agree with the rules you can find yourself some other platform to share them on

In that case, steam should banned all countries that has those laws. If you ask me, that's bad for business.
