Are moderators from various game hubs sharing our information with others?

[xBCxRangers]

It has been brought to my attention, from someone who is an admitted (and has the badge) volunteer moderator, that others information on a particular game hub, has been shared with other moderators, of different hubs or with Valve itself.

Whether that's baloney or not, is not really the question.

How can it be assured our information is safe from others, here on Steam?

What "type" of information is being shared, and if they are minors , how can we be assured our children or grandchildrens information is not being shared by unqualified, or worse, people?

I'll be writing moderation in regards to this matter. Enjoy all.

Isn't it exhausting to constantly lie and knowingly spread misinformation?
You again deliberately take words out of context to stir up drama.

Nah, it seems some people actually live for that.

Some people really need to stop conspiracy hunting.

Anyway, regardless of the forum, it's not uncommon for any moderators to be given access to information such as IP address and (if kept) moderation history, linked accounts, and so forth. And yes, this information is shared between moderators as a single moderator is not assigned to a single user. This is, of course, common sense for anyone who isn't looking to start drama where there is no drama.

Are you a news outlet trainee? They're so good at nitpicking words and twist them into something aren't true because drama sells.

Nothing would surprise me with the mods here. The biggest bunch of incompetent fools I have ever had the displeasure of running into.

Why are you making it obvious you're not a good guy here? Lol wut.

How would the moderators even get your personal information in the first place in this imaginary scenario?

No. Game hub mods don't even have reach to that kind of information.

And instead of running around with a tinfoil hat on your head you can do the test yourself. Make a Steam Group, become a moderator of the Steam group and see how far you can get. It won't be much at all. Gamehub mods heve the same reach you have inside your little Steam group. Steam groups work like gamehub ones, forums wise.

They can't. Gamehub mods are pretty limited in their reach. They're basically restrained to what is posted in their own gamehub.

The actual post was linked here. If you say it's different then link it instead of slandering other users. Your general claims about valve were just tiring before but this is getting out of hand.

pretty sure all moderators can see your moderation history... I know steam can see everything from every steam hub for sure because they've told me as much, not sure if steam hub mods can see everything or only things related to their specific hub tho.

They only see the history for that hub.

Valve is US, so your information is free for all anyway and not safe

That has nothing to do with beeing in the US.
Stuff like your ip Adress (at time of post), used os ETC. are stored in every forum.
Stuff like used os & country you are from mostly are used for statistic purposes.
Ip Adress and stuff you posted (even the deleted stuff is only hidden from normal users) is usually saved in case law enforcement is asking for that in help with their investigation.
