Will Steam ever crack down on joke and non informative "reviews"?

[Mortius]

I get tired of seeing these plastered across the most helpful section. Its not helpful! It does not inform not critique the game in any way, its just there for some silly people to get laughs out of which ends up cluttering the review section.

I urge Steam to actually do something about these "reviews" because they do not serve a purpose to buyers, it has no reason to be there and these people that are abusing the review system to post these should get a temporary ban from using the review feature for a reasonable amount of time and if continued to abuse it they should be banned from using the feature altogether.

They don't even bother take the absolute worst of the worst games off of their store.
They won't take the joke reviews off of Steam. In fact they seem to like it. They added a 'funny' feature to the review system.

I feel your pain.

Its sad that reviews with a lot of effort and time put into them gets overshadowed by "I got hit with rock and died hue hue 10/10". Makes me not even want to read any reviews from Steam...

Tell me about it. I do my best to provide at least somewhat decent lengthy reviews but apparently reviews that have ign 11/10 are more useful than the ones I do with about 6 or so paragraphs.
Not that I'm or anything.

Those 10/10 reviews will continue to dominate Steam, as long as Steam is overcrowded with pre-teens and internet-hipsters.
Kinda like "♥♥♥, bae, smh, salty" etc. is overused to a point where one would think they have frontotemporal dementia.

But it's apparently something that makes the kids (and immature adults) giggle and bond with each other...
