You can set your profile to private or friends only, I do. No one can see anything but my Picture and name.

Blocking is so you don't see anything from that person, not necessarily the other way around. It works as intended as I recently had someone be completely rude on a post I made 2 times, so I reported and blocked them.

You shouldn't be able to hide from the world, and you never will be able to. Making profile private, or friends only, works well.

Username change history is so you can track the good and bad people you run into. I like it as it helps me keep track of friends I don't talk to often.

Reason you can't delete history is for harassment and other questionable things.

Either you want public access, friend access, or private access. It's exactly that, a wall. Everyone can see it, but only people you want to come in, are allowed.

Who visited me doesn't matter, if I have anything up it's because I allow others to see it, otherwise I'd delete it.

I like Steams security. One of the first ones I remember having 2FA.

My fixes for this would be

1. Hide Profile if not logged in (display text: Must be logged in to view this profile)
ALready does thing with Friends-Only, and Private profile settings. If you leave your Profile Public well it means your Profile is Public.

2. Proper blocking (Completely hide your profile from a user you blocked, hide your forum messages, hide your profile from showing up in groups, prevent blocked users from being able to join your game) If I block somebody 90% of the time it's not DM related and I don't even want the option to be able to view a message/post from a user I have blocked, fix blocking
Hmm. you can already do this to a defgree. If you block a user you won't see their posts in a forum thread. You will still see when they are quoted by others thoughh, and when they quoted.

3. Option to hide your steam profile link from showing up in any search engines outside of steam
Again...this is already addressed by setting your profile friends only or private.

4. Option to completely disable username change/history
You can already erase it, though people will still be able to suss you out fairlty easily since it will update any post you made.

5. Option to clear DM history server sided for both users (with archive of DMs up to 30 days in the event of a scammed account or other violation)
Never gonna happen. Since that affects someone else's communication history. You're free to clear it on yourside but you don't get to clear what's on someone else's screen.

6. Option to hide your profile message wall if you are not friends with the user without disabling the ability to send messages on it for all users
Friends-Only.

7. being able to see a list of who visited your steam page in the last hour.p
Eh. Possible, YThough really don't think Steam will be pandering to that kind of egho stroking. Though they might make it a point shop unlockable.

These are important settings that most other sites have, I should not have to private my profile from everyone in order to prevent a blocked or logged out user from viewing it
Why not? Public means Public m8.

Doesn't actually do anything for privacy, all your saying is people have to wait till your online to see it and wouldn't work in the modern age considering websites are cached.

Blocking works fine, what you suggest would never be implemented because someone you blocked could just sign out of steam or use an alternate account to view your profile so that would be pointless

Steam is a gaming community platform and they WANT their sites, forums, etc from showing up in searches.

Absolutely nothing to do with with privacy and would piss off a lot of people if they want to change their name

Steam already complies with privacy requests, and if there is ever an issue where sensitive information was sent out in that rare case you can file a ticket for it to be done. Would be far more likely this feature would be used ot piss people off by getting their account hijacked and having all their DM's cleared then it would be used to help people.

That is contradictory. You cant have all people sending a message on it and hide it if you aren't friends with the user.

Tell me which gaming sites have these features because i know

Epic
Sony
Microsoft
Humble Bundle
GoG
GMG
Battlenet
Uplay
EA
Origin
Bethesda
etc

Do not have any of what you are suggesting. So the claim that most other sites have it is complete BS.

Steams privacy and security is just fine.

As demonstrated by the users above me, most of what you want exists or can be done to certain degrees. So the question is, why the strange title claim?

I always love when someone comes in, posts a list of demands and claims most other sites do it, and then refuse to say what other sites actually do it, or give a list of sites that aren't remotely related to what steam does.

Its like saying the NSA's website does something differently then Steam.....

I have problems with people stalking my profile due to drama and history and would like to make it harder on them, if you block someone that blocked user should not be able to view your profile and someone who is not logged into a steam account shouldn't be able to view your profile, everything is explained, its not calling the current privacy bad, its just a good start but needs more options
Well that's easy:

-You can change your username, clear your previous username history
-You can make your profile Private
-Make a custom url

If you change all of those in a short period of time, you're unlikely going to be recognized, especially if they have a large friends list.

Edit: Maybe if you're being stalked, don't put your personal identifiers for Discord, Switch, Xbox, Epic, vrchat, twitch on your Public Profile?

Again they can simply log out of steam and then view your profile. If you have it set to friends only then that solves the issue.

People who are not your friends can see your wall, there is no option to disable it, only the option to set to friends only or turn it off completely

They cannot if you have it set to friends only

those stupid steam tracker bots update in real time and anyone who cares to find my profile based on my old name will just google it and get an updated steam url
Most people don't know how to use a lot of things to find people, either way, if you changed everything in a short period of time you should be ok, and I must strongly emphasize, that if you're being stalked stop posting everywhere you are and how to find you:

You should remove everything from your profile that a bot could try to match 1:1 with, this includes the specs, all the places you use & your usernames, etc.

This is a classic case of "privacy is a choice at the hands of the user"

my discord is set to friends of friends only and DMs are off, its there for already existing friends, same goes for the others

Discord has nothing to do with Steam. I just updated my profile to friends only - https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197963666602/

As you can see only friends are now able to see any content on it. That takes care of stalkers.

thats why I said there should be an option to make it so someone who is logged out/not on an account can't view it, like private but not private, must be logged in to your account to view profile

Then they just make a new account or log into an alt account. Again if your worried about someone stalking you something so trivial isn't going to stop them and making your account friends only prevents them from seeing it, interacting on it, and doing anything that you will notice.

As pointed out your spreading all your contact info on a public profile

while you could tell robots not to index certain pages with a few methods, you would also run nofollow in general on all pages that could include your profile link .. and from there is goes bonkers.
suggestion, you dont like your profile in search results outside of Steam, DMCA it.

you can manually clear it, on a cooldown. scam protection.
it is also persona/profile name. the actual username is not public.

?!
chat is saved on server-side for 2 weeks. that is the status quo. you want that to be removable by yourself for both involved parties ...but you also want an archive "in the event of a scammed account or other violation"
1st issue:
if you write me a message via steam chat, my copy is not your copy, it is my copy. you do not simply delete MY data.

2nd issue:
you either save data or you dont. that archive would have to be accessible the same way the 2 weeks have to be accessible at the moment, gdpr, woohoo.

lemme get that straight.
you want a setting that does:
1) all users that are not your friends can comment on your profile
2) hide the profile comments sections from all users that are not your friends.

great, really ..... please organize your thoughts.

Set your profile friends only and only friends will be able to see and post.

it's either none or one, there is no in between. Basically I want to be able to hide my list but if they are a friend they can see it and write me messages, there is no way to do this.

So you want to remove the privacy of others, for visiting your Public Profile, which is still Public, despite you being told that by being public and putting up all of the places you can be found & the usernames, you believe you're entitled to see who chooses to check your Public Profile?

Anyone could check your profile, random forum users, bots, people looking for inventories to trade with. Anyone. Especially when your profile is Public. Being able to see who visited you, and thinking it's an "alt" of someone 'stalking' you, would open you up to harassing someone else.

If your profile is Private, people can only see your avatar and username, nothing else. Yours is currently a Public Profile so anyone can see anything you have on it.

You choosing to not have privacy and then complaining about it, is entirely on you.
Public, Friends-Only (aka the inbetween), Private. Pick one.

If you're being stalked, unrelated life stories and telling people what you are doing at any moment on steam or twitter isn't a good idea... got nothing to do with the thread, either.

Publicado originalmente por ❀ Zinnia ❀:

Or it could just be a bot, scammer, new person, etc. A fresh account does not equate to an alt of someone stalking you. Simply, you don't know, which is why they're not going to allow you to see who visited your profile, because people make assumptions in bad faith.

i am all for more options but, nothing you proposed would stop someone from stalking you

it is easy to have more than one account. it is easy to have more than one web client open at once with several accounts open, if they wanted to. we would have to take from your posts that they will do these things, because they are stalking you. your best bet is to just keep records of any trouble they give you and then report them.

i will say that i agree with this

to dumb down my original post

Fix Blocking.

that's all I really want, if someone is blocked I don't even want to know they exist, I don't want to see the button to view blocked messages and they shouldn't be able to see me, thats all.
Stop using the community then.
There's no way to control that sort of thing on forums since as said you will see the posts of other people quoting them.

As for them not being able to see you. That's overstepping your bounds. Its well and good that you blid fold yourself, butt to demand other people wear blindfolds for you.. yeah. Just stop using the community features and set your profile to priovate. Your problems will be solved


Or you ca 'Do an Adult'.
Which will solve your problems as well.
