:qr:

The only information I can find on naming & shaming states 'a tactic used against harassers.' Note it does not say a tactic used by harassers.

I found this information by typing the following into a google search box 'is naming and shaming harassment.'

https://geekfeminism.fandom.com/wiki/Name_and_shame#:~:text=Name%20and%20shame%20describes%20a,to%20be)%20sympathetic%20or%20responsive.

I have experienced obvious harassment many times today all of which have nothing to do with naming and shaming.

That link has no relevance on Steam.

Harassment is broadly defined and includes naming and shaming.

The challenge stands, please provide official Steam documentation which outlines information on 'naming & shaming.'

I would also appreciate official valve information on naming and shaming if that could also be summoned, very useful.

Moderator accounts can be compromised just as an account that has deemed to be shamed.

The basis of the unofficial information concerning naming & shaming is as follows
(1) the account could have been compromised. - Yes that is a possibility but what is the probability of this occurring vs a victim of abuse needing to be reported. It is possible to authenticate if the account has or has not been compromised. Regardless of an account being compromised attention to the problem needs to arise when violations in rules have occur.
(2) The here-say evidence is not credible. - More than one witness is more credible than one. Screenshot evidence should not be immediately argued against because it could be fraudulent, probability of modified screenshot evidence is lower than victim abuse and violations occurring. Screenshot evidence can be authenticated, naming and shaming should not be an ends to investigation as it can be considered obstruction of law.

What else do you have?

Here you are good sir, the Steam online conduct:

You will not:

• Defame, abuse, harass, stalk, threaten or otherwise violate the legal rights (such as rights of privacy and publicity) of others.

Accusing people directly of wrong doing is basically defaming.

The questions I am wondering is what constitutes as 'others.' Does the term 'others' include Usernames, or the individual itself. Usernames provide anonymity, without them there would be no way to prevent cheaters unless you work directly for a gaming company which unfortunately is the minority of us. There would be no way to alert moderators of a cheater, or violator of rules. Moderators and developers do not have the time to address all the cheaters and violators - meanwhile people are being violated and games / communities destroyed.

If someone makes the gamertag for example 'chungusb1gd1kurmom' but with actual letters and profanity, does this violate the rule 'Inappropriate name' as a Username rule?

We've seen people practically demand rules be pointed out to then in absolute or they wouldn't accept it. Simply put, it's best to read & follow the rules to not get into trouble.

The people replying here are long term users, know the rules, and know how to follow them. I strongly advise you take the answers as-is.

Do note disagreements with others is not naming & shaming nor harassment. To get that out of the way now.

"Others" is any other user.

Am i even allowed to mention the fact that someone is gaming under the such an obscene name without violating the rules myself?

What constitutes steam's definition of Defame and to what extent? Past Valve Moderator actions are not sufficient examples for us to truly understand how to go about alerting the community that it is turning afoul while so many threads complain about the community as a primary issue for a game's death!?

You're going to keep running around in circles trying to find literal, spelled out rules and we're going to keep referring to the vague, blanket ones that cover everything. This back and forth will continue until someone is banned for arguing or the thread gets locked because it's no longer productive, or both.

Stop trying to find literal definitions of everything you have been warned not to do. Name & Shaming has historically been against the rules and it's covered under the aforementioned Conduct Rules. Leave it at that.

I have every right to alert the gaming community when violations of the code of conduct exist during game play and in discussions.

If the only means to alert the community of violations is through, violating the conduct itself then there is a poorly designed system here. It's like using a word in the definition of the word's definition you are trying to define. It is simply machinations, a design flaw in the system if this is what you are trying to convey to me.
