How to fix Offtopic.

[ナルゴ]

Before a steam user can post, they must pass an English proficiency test. Minimum requirement to post is demonstrating the ability to read and write at C2 (Advanced/Near native) or N (Native) levels.
This must be renewed every month.

If their grammar matters to you more than their personalities.. You're not gonna like it here.

This is off topic on Steam, not a posh Grammar School for privileged kids.

Bad idea, there are international users using Steam. By doing this, you would exclude those users from steam.

International users are free to learn how to communicate in English effectively.

Not being completely fluent in English is not really a problem in "regular" topics, though. The problem is when someone who's trying to talk to you in a language they don't natively or fluently speak becomes combative with you.

If they can't even articulate themselves in the language they're trying to be argumentative in, the conversation deteriorates. Same for more complex topics like politics. I think the problem isn't always the people or the speaker's proficiency, it's the topics in most cases. Which is why I agree with creating another section to dump all that garbage into.

A simple common sense test would probably be enough to have some people unable to access the forums.

There should be consequences for false reports.

No alt accounts, via passport verification for the one account You can have, which also solves the age verification thing.

Competent mods and support - who probably need to participate in the English test, or any other language if it´s about the other language forums - and support tickets in some other language, because they offer their service in countries with other languages. They can renew that test every month, but don´t have to.

Ability to easily forward certain things to Your authorities, because the ban system as it is now is laughable, and changes little.

Clear forum rules with examples what they understand with certain things, and where they would draw the line.

Like straight forward simple things, which should be standard if You have some 1 billion+ accounts and allow them to talk and interact with each other. If some 5 vague forum rules with some automated mods and messages would suffice - most countries would run with this as well, while any kind of punishment would not be needed at all, because people are automatically nice, and nobody would ever abuse the system...

I do not know the C2 test.

Off Topic, that is all I have to say on this subject.

I've never seen a thread suggestion that excludes the OP from their own thread. 10/10 for originality :-)

We should be real about what this place is. It's a forum that only exists so that there is a place to put these kinds of threads instead of just deleting them. That way, you're in here complaining about a temporary ban or how XYZ is part of a zionist plot, instead of hounding the forums on the money making side.

If Steam was a pool, this is the skimmer basket. It collects the detritus. It just so happened the sticks, dead bugs and rotten leaves formed a civilization of sorts, but that will only be of interest to anthropologists in the future, and then only for a moment between finishing lunch and burping gently.

It's bait. But fun bait ;-)

Ha.

You can’t fix what never worked in the first place.
