Banning on steams Seems to be More Discrimination then protecting the community
its being suggested that steam review its banning policy and stop discriminating against content and conversation.

Currently Steam seems to be all about Cancel Culture and Discrimination of both choice and Thought.

This topic is Asking that Steam Stop Discriminating against its users on all levels, to be more open and kind to those that engage on the steam forums and to try and understand that removing unharmful content is in fact a forum of intellectual Discrimination.

We are all Invited To discuss topics on steam, actively removing or deleting portions of topics shows a high level of Discrimination within those employee'd by steam to do a professional and understanding level of work.

It should be noted that Steam attacking people based on reports, based on user past experiences, also shows a level of discrimination.

the example is when basing a ban on reports steam is actively engaging in the discrimination of users based on the report abuse of those that have high levels of discrimination.

steam should be clearly able to understand that its discrimination is costing it customers and platform presence including sales and profit.

just looking over the steam forums you can easily spot the discrimination , the worst part about it is steam tries to hide its discrimination choices by deleting the content it discriminates against.

it should be your cue to stand up against discrimination and to be a positive and acceptable role model for steam forums, you make it sound like since you can't discriminate you have no point being on steam.

Discrimination?

That is in stark contrast to reality:

Your history of spamming, bypassing bans, and abusing the Steam Rules & Guidelines is well documented. We won't be removing any bans associated with that behavior.

And:

i make it a personal goal to get banned almost every day, so i can just load up another free throw away steam account and upset the same 20 people so they have a mental meltdown and cry to steam support.

If that was remotely true, you would've permanent bans on 4-5 of your accounts.

OP you are known in these forums as someone who rightfully earns their bans.

Getting banned for breaking the rules is not discrimination, it is called upholding the rules.

If you mean the 17th century definition of discrimination, which basically means "make a decision" then I would hope moderators are doing that and not just issuing punishments at random. They're doing a good job, as far as I can see.

If you mean the 19th century definition of discrimination, the moderators aren't doing that. They don't know your race, gender, sexuality, marital status, employment, or anything like that. They just know what you posted.

Even in 19th or 20th century, it is not discrimination if one disagrees with woke propaganda. In a matter of fact in those centuries, being woke would have been looked down upon and ridiculed.

Modern day, we called them the crazies. I support his proposal to allow all disagreements and not label disagreement racism.

The moral of the story, dont talk about it if you cant take it.

Since I already have it in my clipboard, here's the definition of "woke" from wikitionary:

Alert, aware of what is going on, or well-informed, especially in racial and other social justice issues.

If you're against specific races, that sounds a lot like the 19th century definition of discrimination to me.

Big fan of the idea of people in the 19th century somehow disagreeing with a word that was coined in the 1930s.

any type of profiling a user for past deeds or trying to cause injustice of "naming and shaming" would be considered Discriminating or Defamation, true or not.

this is not the place to try and single out or point fingers at each other, but the place to question the actions of the system, To knowingly Discriminate or force silence individuals or statements will only create a larger divide within steams forum and the users that engage.

having a harmonized and logical forum does not mean we have to always agree or discriminate against each other.

It is noted that users already trying to attack the topic on a personal level of the original poster only shows that this type of discrimination is real and unjust.

Guess what? Freedom of Speech does not exist on private platforms.
That means Valve is free to censor you for breaking their rules all they want and there is nothing the law can do about as the law supports them.
