Diablo IV's own mods abusing their powers
I got perma banned for criticizing the latest fiasco where their explanation video was filled with errors, and I was not rude, nor was I insulting, or baiting. Still I got perma-banned by the developer's own mods without any reason, the reason box was empty. They also deleted my other thread where I was asking people to guess the next Blizzard release on Steam.

Steam mods say they cannot revert developers mods, so I am just banned without reason and I have to beg blizzard to revert it.

Why does Steam allow this sorta behaviour, I think Steam mods should supersede the developers' mods and should be able to strike down such bans, and be able to even warn, or block such mods to be able to do as they please.

Because the devs pay for their forums, so they get to control them.
Period, end of discussion, next question please.

Devs own their own forums. Their house, their rules.

To be fair I am comforted knowing that when I release on Steam the mods here will not have anything to do with my section of the forums.

Always a one-sided story. You did something, as permanent bans are not handed out lightly.

Also, did you forget to read the part in your ban message where it says if you believe this ban was issued by mistake to contact Steam Support? I'm guessing that you did because making a thread here and threatening boycotts on the forums is completely pointless. That part about contacting Steam Support If you think it's been issued by mistake is on every ban and warning message that you get. Regardless of what it is pertaining to.

I did contact, and the Steam mod agreed with me, but they are unable to do anything, I have to contact Blizzard, which I have no desire to do so

I did not threaten a boycott, that one dude did

Read before accusing people

Because Valve cares more about the money Blizzard brings them than they do actual customer satisfaction.

He suggested it, I am doing by myself, not asking others to do so, improve your reading and comprehension skill then?

My reading skills are fine. You said you didn't threaten to boycott and your own posts contradict that. You have no desire to contest the ban but you do have a desire to make a whine thread. The ban doesn't bother you at all yet you just had to make a threat and a thread about it.

Not threatening Diablo or whatever, just talking about Steam mods not having any power over developer mods, which is the crux of the thread here, hence the lack of reading/comprehension

Not surprised at all. They are banning any form of descent in the Diablo IV discussion forum. I've come to expect such behavior form Activision Blizzard.
