Valve began to ban for advertising sites in nicknames.The first block is temporary for 24 hours with automatic nickname change to SteamID64. It limits the ability to change the nickname and profile description. So far, only references to skin exchange sites are blocked

I have reported maybe 20 or so over the past few days and all have been taken down but times varies when action is taken.

I assume they are monitoring if those profile names are reapplied or tagged with another site after removal.

Not sure if they've taken their foot off the gas or are working towards something more automated based on the data they've collected but either way, it's not good.

i sincerely hope they will come up with an automatic solution and didn't just give up the fight...

Seems like valve was really actively removing names for about one week, and now suddenly they seem to stay...
Names i reported at the weekend are still there... :crysusie:

Most likely busy with other things.

Things re going to take preference. Be a pretty ♥♥♥♥ business if this weren't the case.

Been this way for names I recently reported during the week too.

That's why...

It slows down over the weekend but then picks up again.

...I'm not sure it's a weekend thing.

I've bookmarked a bunch of pages I've reported since this bout of name-resetting began, and so far the most recent 9 that I've bookmarked are still up, at least as of earlier today.

Hopefully, but even if they don't, taking down a bunch of names even just once will (1) take down names from inactive accounts that were passively advertising it and (2) scare people into thinking twice about doing it again because it could happen again.

another half assed attempt.
most are not blocked when it would be easy to just ban the scam sites from even being entered.

could be automatic for the worst offenders. Auto block not remove some and leave most.
