How to report a suspected botnet hoster to Steam?
I've discovered someone who's part of a bot hosting and cheating program, called "🐈 🪝" which is notoriously associated with hosting waves of server crashing bots on Team Fortress 2. Important enough so to even be a major administrator in their chat, and managed to find their main steam account.

How would I report this to Steam, would it be worthwhile? :spycon:

Report them through their profile.

Likely useless, though. Steam is not the internet police.

But if it involves Valve owned titles, the information will get passed along by support.

Well it's been an issue for years, and it's caused people to leave Team Fortress 2 in droves at times before. It's a network of hundreds of cheaters and bot hosters, I've been in their telegram chat for sometime.

Less people playing due to hundreds to thousands of bots is less revenue for Valve as the game's community market is still very much active.

I've also personally witnessed some of the more malicious bothosters have their accounts wiped in complete from steam.
