Will a Steam Moderator please un-ban my review for Rainbow 6 Siege
I posted a copy-pasta about lotion not relevant to the game back in 2019 i think? And instead of just rejecting the review, it was an immediate ban hammer with no hesitation. My guess I caught moderator on a bad day, but I edited it and wrote a legitimate review on the game and believe its appropriate for the game.

If not, I will understand, but I think based on my review history and the time I have been with Steam/R6 this was my first off-topic irrelevant review. No sure why the fuss...

Your "joke" review is not so funny anymore, eh?

Imagine trying to be toxic in Helps and TIps, eh? Either way R6 is a toxic game, its a negative review for the game, so it's a win-win for me. Frankly, it doesn't bother me if they do or don't. But, a partial of my review just mentions the ESRB rating that which most parents seems to neglect.

nothing toxic about it. your idea of a joke was only funny to you. as you have learned, others may not find it funny.

reply to the ban message and hope they decide to be merciful about the ban. some actions have permanent consequences, saying you were joking does not get you out of trouble

the forums are not the way to file an appeal. those that moderate the forums only act on reports, they do not read the forums looking for help requests.

Thank, at least your post was valid instead of the initial dolt-reply. I will inquire and see if that is possible, thank you for your time.

Likely, it wasn't a steam global mod, but ratheer one that is either volunteerly chosen or works directly for the rainbowsix siege staff and checks reviews.
Its extremely rare that a global moderator issues a ban on a review. There are plenty of joke reviews on other games.
The only time its checked by a global mod is when it is reported. If it did got banned by Steam staff / valve staff, then likely it must have been outragious enough for the review to be reported to them in the first place and In such case, its unlikely you can get it back up.
However, if it was a game hub moderator (or developer) you will still have a chance. Just get the review appealed and explain the situation.

Also, have a look at the community rules and guidelines. They apply not just to the discussionboards, but also to reviews posted.

Only actual Steam moderators can remove reviews, there are no volunteer ones.

Either way, contacting either individual seems like an impossible feat. Not worth walking on egg-shells trying to reach an official, I was just hoping to make an impact, but it's OK, no worries, its just a review to be buried beneath all of the others.

Only valve staff have access to ban reviews

Developers nor developer appointed moderators have such access

OP should provide the link to the Review that he claims got "falsely ban".

that way, everyone here can see whether it is a legit Ban or not.

I never said it was falsely banned. Good job twisting the narrative. I clearly stated it was not a legit review and irrelevant from the game. Off topic request, but if you feel you need to entertain yourself, be my guest. 🙄

As mentioned, the post was irrelevant and off-topic, and posted years ago, so I was rather transparent about my post. Anyone else that want to try to dig up some more dirt, be my guest, I have nothing to hide.

I find it rather disturbing how toxic people can be in the forum, similar to that of R6. The apple doesn't fall too far from the tree with this community, it's no surprise. So far I have received nearly zero assistance, but from a couple patrons.

Literally no one here is being toxic.
Please don't make up blatantly absurd claims.

People explained how this works.
It makes no sense to get upset at people explaining how this works.
LOL.

the moment you started this thread "demanding" for the "Ban for the review for Rainbow 6 Siege" to be removed

you already claim that it is False Ban.

Thats funny, no one here actually explained how it works. More along the lines of opposition of opinions. I've haven't actually seen anything official.

Thats three different response. all of which seem to oppose each other, which tells me these aren't answers. So, stop being absurd and think for yourself instead of boasting a toxic community like you're the saint of these people.

Everyone sounds like they heard a rumor on facebook and went with it. No official documentation posted.

Only Steam support are the only ones that can ban reviews and look into lifting the ban.
