Why does the Steam not showing the blocked users from its list no more than 905?

[Johnny Casey]

I *know* the block function still works even if you blocked more than 905 users.

I just want to know why the Steam decided it would be a good idea not to show more than 905 users.

Anyone who plays online on any game will amass meeting the same rough number of individual players as anyone else.

So again there's no need for you to block that many.

Sure. You believe whatever you want.

You have no logical reason to ever block that many people.

It is literally an abuse of the block function by definition.
You're going to end up creating an echo chamber.

If you've had to block 905 people for a Steam game, I can't help but think the issue is clearly not other players. I have maybe 3-5 people blocked from the forum, and 6-8 people blocked from scam accounts/problem people, over a 17+ yr Steam account.

As for the "Why", probably because they put it as a general limit so it doesn't cause issues when someone with a big block list keeps querying their blocked list, let alone many of such people at once. Clearly, they thought no one that operates normally would hit or exceed it. I very much doubt 905+ people needed to be blocked.

And that's the bottom line isn't it?

If it were an unreasoable number then we would have seen people complain about this over the years and I cannot recall any other person saying this.

Yeah, yeah. I bet you people met hundreds of people who would outright tk you just for using english.

I can safely say I've only been TeamKilled by less than a dozen people, all in the same game, coming just to troll the place in the very early 2000's.

905+ people means you're most likely the source of problems, or you have issues working with/listening to a team and often cause losses, then get angry at them for said criticism/losses. That seems to be the logical conclusion. Though I answered you already as to the "why" of the limit of seeing such.

[davidb11]

Yeah. I hate to say it, but this much ado about nothing.
No one is going to be team-killed 900+ times. :P
That's just not going to happen without that person being very bad and disruptive.

It means you haven't seen such level of griefing that I usually have to face for the most time in multiplayer game.

If you've blocked users then why do you need to see them in a list? just block and move on.

Also blocking them via Steam just means you wont be able to interact with them in the community spaces yet you will still be matched with them in games unless you've blocked them in that too using their respective internal mechanisms.

If you block too many users in some games though, you may find matchmaking much harder. Maybe time to get thicker skin.

Left 4 Dead 2 has it connected to Steam profile blocking.

This has been explained. I humbly suggest you to please read the entire post with deep care.

All you've explained was to unblock which kinda negates blocking them in the first place. Either you block them for good or don't block them at all. Just a waste of time.

If you really like to know for whatever reason you have, it's for the purpose of joining the game that my Steam friend is playing which also happens to have the user I blocked in the past with it.

Anyway, that's not really the point here. Are you people continue to bash on that it's my issue of having so many users blocked? Cause that's not going to stop me from continue doing so, if that's what you people are trying to acomplish here.

[davidb11]

I know we can't convince you that you're basically blowing up your house with a nuclear bomb because you saw a spider, But that is what you're doing.

By all means, you can continue, but do understand, it is excessive.
