Who edited my black-list?

[ali]

Hello!
I propose to increase the blacklist limit. The fact is that upon reaching 30,000, someone edits my list, deleting about a thousand entries. I also propose to restrict blacklist editing to the owner only.

Have you tried just privating your profile and playing better games? If you're having to block 30k people then it sounds like you're doing something to attract bad attention. something like flies to ♥♥♥♥ kind of deal.

Keep in mind.... OP has hit 30k blocked users numerous times, so technically they've blocked far more. 50k? 60k? It's like OP's job.

yes, you are right but, problem not solved and still exist.

The solution to your problem is to stop playing CS2.

You must understand that Valve is a small indie company with a very limited budget. They simply cannot afford to support blocking the number of users you need blocked. Valve simply does not have the knowledge, manpower, or budget to handle that many more blocked users, sadly.

after reading how they do things over there

i am not surprised that this would take a low place on the fix it list

if it makes it there

how many people really are going to hit the limit of 30k?

it happened, so it can

but i know it would not be one of the things i rushed to do anything about

again, if i even were

but valve time is a thing for a reason

so maybe it is coming

Dear Valve/Steam Developers,

I am writing to propose enhancements to the blacklist feature on the Steam platform. These changes could significantly improve user experience and address challenges faced by dedicated community members.

Current Challenges
Currently, the 30,000-entry limit on the blacklist creates major inconveniences for users. Upon reaching this limit, the system automatically removes older entries to make room for new ones, which compromises the list's integrity and usefulness.

I use the blacklist exclusively to block cheaters. While I understand that some forms of cheating (such as firewalls, buffers and other L2-L3 sheet) may bypass existing anti-cheat measures, I rely on this feature to maintain fair gameplay. My sensitivity to network activity allows me to notice patterns that others might miss, making the blacklist an essential tool for me.

Proposed Solutions
To address these issues, I suggest the following:

Increase the blacklist limit to at least 500000 entries to better accommodate active users.

Restrict blacklist editing to the account owner to ensure full control and security over the list.

Benefits of the Proposed Changes
Implementing these solutions would:

Enhance the functionality of the blacklist for dedicated users.

Provide a more secure and controlled environment for managing blocked accounts.

Help users like me maintain a fair and enjoyable gaming experience.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I appreciate your continuous efforts to improve the Steam platform and look forward to your response.

Sincerely, player dog.

I just want to play fair and avoid cheaters. What's wrong with that?
I assume that the problem is in the reporting system, because there are 8-9 cheaters in every game. Is that a good thing?)

30,000!!! wow! you should have spotted way way earlier that something isnt right and its not this limit.

Seriously, nobody need to block that many. The problem is not the system but the user imo.

no, its never the user, its always the system. your opinion is flawed, make a new and better one

Consdering you have 4k hours in csgo and quite a bit in dota 2(while being active in those forums), 5v5 games, that would equate to 80-90% of players cheating, unless you mean csgo casual, where then it would be 40-45%.

Just because someone is better than you does not mean they are cheating.

Who the hecks need to block 30k users??? What possible reason need to block that many people?

Most likely they are blocking either those who disagree with them or are higher skilled players.

I had a very liberal use of the block function in Twitter before leaving and used it for years. I don't think I may have blocked more than 2K accounts.

30K blocks pretty much hints at the use of mass-blocking tools and massive user lists. No way OP has interacted with those 30K different accounts in the whole history of Steam. That's blocking 4 different accounts a day, every day for the last 20 years.

I'm hoping it's the 1st, and not the 2nd lmao.

Yeah I can believe blocking lot of people over the years, and people using tools to mass block, but for OP to go out of his way to block people likely had no interactions with, or much of in the 1st place say a lot, and you be right, only problem OP account only 5 years old, and blocking 16+ people a day basically.
