Discussions Rules and Guidelines
Report this post
-You can complain about a moderator, or developer by reporting them.
-If you think your ban was unfair, you can contact steam Support.
- They should rightfully be allowed to do that. If developers are unjustly banning people, those people should be allowed to point that out.
- I did, steam does nothing about it
- Second verse same as the first. In terms of the ban from the KOA:RR discussions, I reported it to steam with plenty of evidence to show that the community manager's stated reasons for banning me were false and that I had not broken any rules of the forums. All steam said was that it looked like it was an issue between me and the moderator (you know, the guy who banned me for lobbying valid criticism) so I needed to talk to him (yep, that's definitely going to achieve someting) and that they could do nothing about it.
Threads like these are a dime a dozen, and every time it turns out that the people complaining about being "unjustly banned" had it coming.
if you think that a mod is really overstepping and valve doesn't agree, contact the company that makes the game. couldn't hurt to send an email to their pr department and let them know that you think someone is making them look bad on the message board.
Hinterlands was put on Geforce Now without asking the developers permission and they had a right to complain and get it removed.
You are not banned for been polite and constructive in fact your are banned for the complete opposite.
1) stop gettting forum banned
2) there is no step 2
When multiple independent moderators ban you, from different game hubs, the problem isn’t the moderators. It’s your behavior

Stop breaking the rules. Problem solved
You can doubt it all you want, the exact text of the post that got me banned was as follows. Some explanation to this was that this was in response to Zyddie (the aforementioned community manager) saying that my post was removed "for being insulting which is against the forum rules."
Explain to me how in any way that is being impolite? Go on.
No, I'm all for reviewing the game and you can clearly see that in the review I posted, the actions of the devs are merely a footnote in that review.
And when the person who banned me and is therefore overstepping his bounds is one of the higher ups at THQ Nordic, someone who has a long history of doing these kind of things, what makes you think THQ Nordic would do anything about it? What makes you think they aren't already fully aware of his behavior, and if that's the case why haven't they done anything about it already? I already did send a message to their PR team months ago when this happened and it accomplished nothing.
You can't honestly be serious in claiming that the publisher would be unaware of what one of their highest level employees is doing.
Literally nothing about this is nonsense, but by all means continue to claim it is.
1) Didn't break any rules
2) Hard to not get banned when you get banned for reasons completely unrelated to any established rules.
3) The claim that "multiple independent moderators" banned me so it must be legit is probably the most laughable claim I've ever heard. That's like saying that because two people don't like you you must be a terrible person. Acting like there aren't dirty developers and dirty moderators that would abuse their power here on steam is laughably disingenuous.
You do realize your post history is entirely visible and that one can simply peruse the rather colorful posting history you have? One doesn't even have to go that far back.
Ah yes the "the problem must never be me it must be everyone else in the world that is the problem"
the core 'problem' here is
1) your behavior
2) your unwillingness to change your behavior to adhere to the rules
When you solve those 2 first, then all your other 'problems' magically disappear. You're going to be shocked that valve doesnt change the rules of the forums to let you keep breaking them without consequences, or to avoid the consequences of your behavior.
Its also fairly amusing your replies to this thread alone pretty much show the exact behavior that has gotten you banned my multiple different moderators in multiple different game hubs
1) Yes, my post history is visible, but the posts that have been removed by moderators are not. And what one post I made years back in a completely separate discussion says has no bearing on what I said in other posts like the ones I and referring to.
"Ah yes the "the problem must never be me it must be everyone else in the world that is the problem""
"Ah yes, the problem can't possibly be someone else despite the fact that it is well known people like this exist, it must be me that's the problem."
Same argument, shows how stupid of an argument it is.

My behavior did adhere to rules, nowhere on the rules for either forum did it say criticism was not allowed, nor did it say that criticism was considered being insulting. The fact of the matter here is that you categorically refuse to admit that some moderators might abuse their power. You assume that just because someone is given power that must mean they use it responsibly and don't abuse it, which is once again, laughably disingenuous.
You're using your review to both argue moderation and to name and shame. Two rules broken right there. If that's how you operate it's really no wonder you've been hit with a few bans.
The changes to my review weren't made until AFTER I was unjustly banned.
Maybe check dates next time before you say something categorically false.
People who got banned spread their BS to reviews and other areas in the game hub. And no, people don't have the "right" to post there, or leave comments there or anything.
going to have to agree. i offer a little advice based on what the op said and get a snarky little response. checked some of the other posts. i'd have given a ban as well
Was banned on the 24th as can be shown by this screenshot that shows both that my band came 9 hours ago and where my clock shows it's the 24th.
My review was updated on the 25th.
Also, if the reason I was banned from the discussions was that I was recounting what had happened in my review, the ban reason would state that... but it doesn't, it's blank. And when I messaged Zyddie afterwords asking to clarify what rules I broke, he never actually gave any, he simply linked to the global steam forum guidelines, none of which I had broken.
