They didn't.
Why? You wouldn't be able to see it now either way.
It's not just bots, they use hijacked accounts. That's why your upvoting privileges are temporarily suspended, to prevent your account by being exploited by malicious actors and give you a chance to make sure it's secure.
It's not a ban. It's a security feature, and I doubt it will have an effect on your eligibility for contests. Do you have a source for what you've heard?
There are enough people begging for awards that no one really needs to buy games to get the points if they really try hard enough. There's even been a few reports from users who reclaimed their accounts to find someone drained their points away through awards. Also, don't underestimate the motivation these kinds of people have.
It's more like a cooldown than an actual "BAN". It's like not being able to use the community market because you forgot to buy a game from the store in the last year. Steam doesn't do sweepstakes or giveaways very often. The last one that I can remember was the Steam Deck giveaway last December. One of the requirements was "your Steam account must be in good standing (e.g., no active bans, locks);" I'm sure they mean Game and VAC bans, community bans. And even if they also include upvoting review bans, it most likely won't be an "active" ban should they run a new giveaway.
No permanent scar. Temporary cooldown. Rest easy. It is far from the end of the world.
Go back to support, and ask them to change or remove ALL of your previous YES votes!

Tell them simply that you don't want to play their game anymore.
What they are offering is a dark pattern, where as, we can't revoke our votes entirely even if we make the conscious decision to to go back and do so prior. Nope they only give us a Hobson's Choice, the necessity of accepting one of two more equally objectionable alternatives, selecting a NO or a Funny. Neither of those will get you banned, but support should be made to correct, and change your YES vote user data, as so you are not ever banned again in the future or accused of manipulation the vote system by triyng to change them all if you have a lot on record.
They shouldn't ban users for a yes vote when others peoples content is banned or removed. It only fuels resentment when that happens.
How did you find that link??
I just asked support to remove them after reading your post, I hope they do it.
I also asked if this will be a permanent blemish on my account. Hopefully they will tell me and hopefully it wont.
I don't know enough about steam after all these years if I couldn't find that link you shared, man I've never had to even think about this before and now I'm gunshy of YES voting ANYTHING.

That will bring you to this page: https://help.steampowered.com/en/accountdata
Scroll down to Store.
Scroll down to find "Your Vote and Tags on Reviews".
There's a whole lot of stuff about your account, and your activities on Steam since you created your account. Take some time to familiarize yourself with what is there, and how to get there without needing someone else to post a link to it. And don't worry - the link is personalized. No one else can see what is there besides you and Steam Support.
This situation is ridiculous and shows just how little STEAM cares about its customers.
30 day account suspension
30 day community interaction ban
What is the point in arguing semantics with us?
Because what you posted is factually wrong. You have a 30 day community INTERACTION ban, that is VERY different from your account being suspended or a community ban.
If you had a community ban your profile would be restricted, you wouldn't be able to post, etc. Instead the ban you have is VERY narrow in its scope and doesn't impact 99.9% of steam. It just blocks you from interacting with community content leaving all other functionality intact.
So its important to correctly clarify what happened. I agree the whole upvoting thing is odd, but people keep complaining and asking steam to do something about troll reviews, and these bans happen when people like or upvote troll reviews to discourage people from upvoting them.
You're incorrect about a troll review.
Support got back to me and said the content of the review violated their policies because it encouraged people to go to a developers website and download a patch to un-censor the game.
I don't believe there were any links involved. The support contact is still open so I can ask if links were involved at some point later.
I own a few games like Huniepop 1 and 2 and it appears that Steam is very selective in how they view R rated content. It is fine if someone cuts a person into gibblets or if you have a sex scene in mass effect or The Witcher 2 and 3 but a anime style game is still a hot potato.
Factually wrong is arguing semantics. I was punished. I should have just titled the thread "Punished for Upvoting a review" but I didn't think it would trigger so many gentle souls into action when I wrote it up without thinking about the definition of what kind of punishment it was.
I never said it was permanent I clearly said it was 30 days.
I think people can infer the reality of the situation without you giving me your unnecessary corrections.
Boy, if the steam forum community didn't have arm chair generals policing these discussions with gusto these posts wouldn't get bumped so many times.
Thank you for the visibility.
Please, explain to me the difference between a community suspension, a community temporary ban, and whatever you want to call what I've just gotten. It will help distinguish in the future what is and isn't allowed by the above average user of these forums.
No, you weren't. You were subjected to a security feature implemented to prevent your account from being exploited by malicious actors.
A "ban", in its common usage, is when someone is no longer allowed to post in a particular forum, usually as a result of not following the rules and guidelines with their posting habits. It's a consequence that occurred as a result of their own actions. A "community ban" is even more severe, with the user not having any posting privileges altogether.
What you got is a temporary suspension of upvote privileges implemented to allow you to secure your account and make sure it isn't being hijacked to upvote rule-breaking content. It was applied due to suspicion that someone may have been using your account without your knowledge. You've maintained all posting privileges and are not "banned" in the common usage of the word.
Already told you.
Community ban is extremely restrictive, you can't post on forums, your profile is hidden, you can't leave comments, etc. There are a slew of restrictions, but i've never gotten one and don't know all the restrictions off hand. They are only done when someone is VERY disruptive or racks up multiple bans across multiple forums in short order.
What you got is very very narrow in scope and only involves you interacting with other user generated comments, doesn't effect the forums, etc.
Hence why the wording is so important. Getting a community ban is VASTLY different from a Community interaction ban.
It would be akin to incorrectly saying you were found guilty of a felony instead of a misdemeaner for jaywalking. Hence why in this particular case it is indeed important to clarify your account isn't suspended, you don't have a community ban, etc.
I can't interact with the forums outside making a new thread and posting ONLY in that thread. I cannot go to other threads and post in them. I did read a few of the topics getting attention and you both are extremely active and argumentative to the point of tears.
Nice analogy with the felony bit.
Can I change the title of the thread?
The two of you arguing with me is more or less off topic and borderline spam at this point.
