“Coïncidentally,” all private profiles display as level zero.
It isn’t reliable information to judge a user’s contribution.
The total insistence by the mod team on striking down any suggestion that there be more transparency, accountability, or improvements to how they do moderation, is very telling how Steam moderators view us.
We really shouldn't have to suggest basic things like more transparency and more reasoning and have every excuse under the sun thrown for why I should pity an increased work load that's easily solved by having more mods, which most forums have more of for smaller sizes anyway.
When's the last time ANY mod on Steam promoted better transparency, more accountability, or any ethical reform to moderation, despite the obvious issues that have been very strongly and repeatedly pointed out by users?
-Now list all the times a user was punished for saying those very things in threads.
Completely agree with this suggestion, but at this point it's just the tip of the iceberg for improvements that need to happen. If Steam's mod team showed even a shred of awareness of apology for this issue, I wouldn't even bother because I'd at least know they're trying -but they really aren't. Users blindly backing the misuse of moderator authority on Steam really speaks volumes of the kind of culture moderators have bred here on Steam.
I think I’ve seen Killah Instinct, Spawn of Totoro and Tito Shivan all express sentiments in such a vein in the past, though I don’t have links any posts offhand.
Where’s the evidence that any such thing has even happened?
I'm unsure as to what Steam allows when it comes to screenshots of support tickets hosted on image-hosting sites or linking to past threads, as mods love to pretend anything is spam and/or a violation of rules if I do something vaguely different.
But if you have personal doubts I can at least assure you I have too many tickets of evidence and too many locked threads of evidence. It's just, when Steam users get dead set on interpreting things exclusively in favor of the Steam mods even when its patently obvious abuses of power are occurring, evidence stops having meaning to such numbly blind support.
At the very least I'm sure regulars of this subforum will vouche a good number of my threads on this matter are locked, as well as ones not made by me -it's almost like mods get rid of things that could 'threaten' their power.
I’ll preface by way of: I am not discarding the rest of your thoughts by drilling to this snippet, but it’s a particularly salient thread from my perspective.
I’ve read a fair number of the threads in question. I definitely feel you have flouted the spirit of the rules on multiple occasions (and you’re certainly not alone there—it may contribute to a sense of differential treatment). You absolutely could choose less-borderline posting behavior.
That said, I can understand how you feel; I see all-too-frequently threads that descend into wild finger-pointing and discussion of personalities over issues. A lot of them have no obvious action taken.
I don’t see it as too terrible a thing—mods more averse to using sanctions where technically they could be applied is a good thing. We all have moments stress leads us to hasty, inappropriate responses.
Anyway, I am unsure with what you’d replace weighting past history, if it were no longer factored.
3 times if you count a mod who accidently warned me and then deleted it because he misclicked.
I know many people repeatedly get warnings for pushing the envelope in other threads, then complain when they go barely over the limit and the mods are like that is enough warnings and issue a ban.
Steam Support definitely does look at forums at least sometimes, and has been known to issue mod messages and mod actions. They have much less of a presence on the forums though, compared to community moderators.
well, I didn't mean to delete my posts.. anyway, people can read most of it in that quote.
Apprently they do watch the Forums or I wouldn't have been banned for 1 month by a Staff Member for calling someone a "Clown" while complaining about the Jester Award, Staff not even seeing the word play.. but what do I expect from people who let CP/Racism/Hate Speech etc run freely..
I don't need that Forum, If Valve wants the Forum to be a place where people can use certain speech, whatever.
Not even worth contacting Support after a Staff Memeber bans you. The person who banned me could be the one answering/replying/ignoring/closing the Ticket and then you have the perma delete of Support ticket while every other nonsense is saved for eternity but not something you could need maybe in the future for providing information or even as proof..
You flamebaited other posters and threatened to report them and all because people disagreed with your ideas and you wanted affirmation not discussion as can be seen by anyone who reads your threads.
Moderator and support rants, laying out YOUR rules for them to follow etc.
You were banned, warned for overstepping the rules, not following them, and falsely believing you are immune because you are looking to make these forums your personal blog and not a place for discussion.
Context is very important. I've been on Steam for a decade, never had any problems until I started posting in the topics that criticize the new client.
Interestingly enough they can still see your support tickets. They just don't want YOU to still see them. This is no different than them suddenly hiding the number of downvotes.

Everything about the way Valve does business these days is dirty and underhanded.
Thread deletion is something I deal with all the time. I recently got a notification that a thread in which I commented got 44 replies... and was also deleted.
What thread was it? I don't know.
What did I say in the thread? I don't know.
Why was the thread a problem? I'll never know.
Same here.
I've had over 100 posts deleted from Steam. I have yet to get an explanation as to why any of them violated the rules.
I've never seen that one.
Yup. I stopped participating in that particular conversation over fears of being unfairly banned. Simply because I don't like how the library works now, and I have a desire to express that opinion. Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be allowed.
That's generally how it goes. This is what I've come to expect.
These threads pop up constantly. Sooner or later they are all locked. With most people speaking out against the mods getting their posts deleted and forum banned. (While everyone that trolls people with complaints are untouched.)
You won't get it.
there's a thread for that :D
see post #150 for a "work around"
but do please add to the thread to show support
they will accuse you of the very things they do,
then when you try to accuse them,
they treat you like you're insane.
there's a place for people like them,
but i daren't mention the site by name.
