http://prntscr.com/eog6sz. Why? When i posted thread to steam discussions all people said it is allowed. And many other people use that name, why are they not banned then like this http://prntscr.com/epyuvl wow i used excatly same avatar and name but i got banned but he has been using that name for many months. Steam support says that they don't say for what i got banned specifically.
