steam profiles

[twitch.tv/TheShawn]

Valve you should seriously consider removing the options on steam profiles to private accounts and hide details on accounts... all accounts should just be made public

Why are you hiding your Alts?

Are you talking about the account I use to upload SteamPipe builds? Why would that need to be public?

We are getting flak, we are over the target.....

Dear Lord, WHY is it always the CS obsessed ppl who make these horrid suggestions? Just yesterday someone was suggesting everyone should be forced to tie their personal ID (or a digital ID) to Steam to…prevent cheating in CS. Because that would work (and totally not drive anyone away from the platform…or cause any lawsuits).

I’m sure the thousands (or millions) of people with private profiles (for legitimate reasons that are none of your business) would just LOVE being censored by Steam to appease some CS players….

No. You're not entitled info about people if they do not wish to share it.

People should simply learn to not go profile hunting to find stuff to throw at people to try and discredit them. Just play the ball, not the man.

No one is censoring them, they just would'nt be able to post in General discussion. Restrict their profiles to Help only....

Other than that no one wants your ID. Just people are sick of the Alt accounts utilising the feature to hide nefarious goings on.

i just think they should give up all rights to certain things on steam/games if they make their profiles private... use of forums should be one, and not just unprivate and private again to do so, like make profile unprivate for weeks in order to do so or something...

Indeed. It will stop the swarm of Alts flooding any topic the any Private Profile user dislikes.... any forum user knows the type.

I still find it amusing that you think YOU should be censored.

That IS censoring them. And at least one guy very much DID want everyone to be forced to give their ID (or digital ID, created and controlled by their local government) to Valve.

If this is a CS thing-please bother Valve about improving their anti-cheat instead of advocating for the censorship of thousands (or millions) who just want their privacy.

There are millions of games (and millions of users) on Steam. You want Valve to change a major feature of their site over ONE game that probably at least 50% (or more) of Steam users don’t even have in their library.

When trading it can be useful to catch out the accounts with all the alts, Forum disruptors etc.

No info on the Profile Page contains sensitive information, it does however benefit the scoundrel more than those who protest "privacy" claims.

You can find it amusing all you want, I have noticed the patterns on these forums and how trading works with the various scams.

An open platform removes a lot of these issues just by virtue of being seen.

None of that changes anything about what I said.

That said, you're not one to be taken serious since you're posting with a private profile yourself...

Good to see I made a good point and all you have left is ad hominum attacks. My point stands.

Alts are the bane of this platform.

Your point changes nothing about what I said, though.

It's not an ad hominum attack, it's a description of the hypocrite posting. Which is indeed standard around here nowadays, that people use alts to complain about "alt abuse".

Nope. We are talking about ability to post under Private Profile status. Everything else is pure conjecture on your behalf.

You have yet to state why it shouldn't occur other than deride me. Read back what you have discussed so far.

Indeed. For all I know, OP and that alt are the same person.

Nope, the conversation between you and I has not been specified to only be about that, especially since the word "posting" hasn't been used until my previous post. That's just you moving goalposts now.
