How to hide topics from blocked users (for adblock users)

[Kapitein Gnapmans]

Hiding comments from blocked users is easy, you prolly already managed that on your own. Now I managed to hide their topics as well with a bit of fiddling around. Add this rule to your adblocker, should work in most:

Does anyone else agree there should be a greater obstacle to posting on Steam discussion boards than having $1 in your account, and zero games purchased? Nearly every account that's just here to stir ♥♥♥♥ and start arguments has that same characteristic in common. Zero games, $1 spent to gain access. as an alt account.

I don't think you need to spend even a dollar?

You do. And there are a LOT of active accounts on here that only have that spent. No games, zero hours played in anything. Literally a burner account created for no other purpose than to troll the discussions.

Sadly, it doesn't hide notifications.

yeah...
steam's blocking system ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sucks major ♥♥♥♥

[Netaris]

Some say the way Steam blocking system works isn't good but, you can't just send private messages to peoples as you want. So, it's already a platform where harasement isn't easy to do, there is simply no need for a better blocking system in a system already restrictive.

^ This

Only allow peoples to comment on forums when they have at leats buyed one game and have at least a few hours in game. So, no more bots and less alt accounts.

But we all know this will not happen anyway, because Valve don't care.

how many people have you blocked?

Around 30 accounts total (and I suspect some on those are the same persons), mostly because of bad behaviors toward me (repeated insults, silly mind games, weaponisation of the report function and so on, those who make too much troll / bait threads too).

My main rule is to forbid myself to block someone if this person do nothing wrong to me. I avoid blocking peoples who disagree with me for example, as I consider it's sane for everyone to face criticism and other worldviews. I do it only in extreme cases, like those who try to normalize pedophilia or things like that. Like everybody, I have my limits, but I want to avoid being stuck in an echo chamber too.

Somebody already mentioned it, but you don't need to spend any money. Just 60 minutes of playtime in a free to play game.

Next time you notice an account whose name appears as a string of numbers until quoted or you hover your mouse over the name/avatar? That's a limited account posting. That means they've put absolutely zero money on Steam.
