make forum bans show up on user profiles

[Plutoski]

steam discussion bans should also show up on user profile like VAC and game bans. it would help identify trolls and racists etc...

example:
1 game ban on record
12 community bans on record

Would only encourage these individuals to aim for the highest score.

[Amaterasu]

That'd be a horrible idea as it would become a badge of honor amongst people to have the highest number.

I wouldn't be 100% against this but that would not be the only thing that it would tell you, there are plenty of people that get false forums ban along with fake game bans (as a hand full of users got a false game ban from a game that was just removed days ago and the developer went off the deep end and banned them and Valve won't remove it).

Remember that a side effect of the paradigm Valve uses is that even if the developer goes off the deep end, all those bans are valid and rightfully applied.

Considering mods of forums can ban a person for basically anything, bad idea. It would be weaponized to make people look bad for questioning developer decisions and such.

If someone is truly bad, they'd have a community ban. Those profiles look like a private profile with no notice about it being private. Those are a sign that someone is not worth listening to at all.

That would make it easier to ♥♥♥♥ up your reputation.

Believe me if they made it that easy I'd pay $100 to do that constantly

badge of shame or badge of honor? tough call , at the same time it might allow us to see the level of moderator corruption that is really going on towards some accounts which are always in the spot light for popularity with steams dubious crowd of instigators.

Are you including your own post history? Between all the alt accounts?

Once upon a time I suggested the same thing. A lot of users skirmed in their seats uncomfortably.

It'd be a fun experiment. However, the events after Steam made the number of VAC bans people had public prove it'd mostly bring metric tons of toxicity, as a race to be the one with most bans would unfold.

But that little number already exists. You just can't see it.

I'm going to be the monkey paw of this suggestion and give it the twist of only giving the number to unlimited accounts.

All it would do is give confirmation to the trolls going around having everyone banned for 'wrongthink', which I do not think is a good idea.

There are groups of clowns with agendas attempting to have everyone that disagrees with that agenda banned, by playing victim, pretending to be offended, and so on.

Keep alert!

***Note***

Just because someone has a different opinion to you, does not mean they are trolling, or that they deserve a ban.

All that it would imply, is that you yourself should grow up instead of attempting to cause issues.

Very good.

Then Valve could just disable or terminate the accounts. They did this in the past when people thought it'd be fun to collect VAC bans.

[Phénomènes Mystiques]

Just get rid of these outdated forums already.

Why you care if others were banned?
