Troll successfully "played innocent" and got me temp banned.

[Krystal]

Basically I made a rant post on the forum because i was annoyed with it's game's autosave system and a troll replies "Are you okay"

now anyone who would just look at this would go: "Oh, they're just concerned". DO NOT be fooled, this is a classic troll tactic called "False concern" to lure the user into a false sense of security before they drop the "troll punchline" and reveal they were trolling you all along and laugh at how gullible you were.

The reasons for this are:

1. This is the internet, unless the person personally knows you, they have ZERO REASON to be concerned for you.

2. Trolls love to use mindgames to screw with their victims.

Well, me in my irritated state of mind impulse replied with "Are you done being a troll yet?" forgetting that this "play innocent" tactic has one other way to troll you. They can "continue to play innocent" and report you to get you banned or temp banned and then laugh it up all the way to their Doritos covered chair.

So i got temp banned because I got trolled. Why are forum mods so gullible at times? It's nothing against them, its just like "use your brain man, this user is obviously trolling if you think about it and trying to get them banned for the luls"

I'd be careful betting your account, because calling someone a troll is an insult.

Harassment is allowed if it's subtle enough, Insults are allowed if it's subtle enough, threats are allowed, Trolling and bating arguments is allowed, discrimination is allowed all the time, Bypassing word filters happens all the time, and Public accusations towards others happens all the time.

Not in guidelines, but you are not supposed to fight back other member.

Without access to the original thread where this happened, I can only surmise that you got triggered and overreacted to that post.

Yes, it is not relevant to the discussion, and probably a little bit tongue in cheek fun against you.

I probably would have just ignored it, though, and report if you feel like it - something might or might not be done.

Such people love this kind of attention.

Also remember, irrelevant and joke answers abound in Steam, even in game forums...

Like when you just so happen to name and shame folks in your own Steam profile comment[i.postimg.cc] last month?

To be quite frank, I think that rule was pushed into existence by cheaters and hackers to avoid entire communities finding out about them and thus blocking them thus preventing them from being able to ruin any games with their hacking/cheating to win.

It's still naming and shaming regardless, especially if its either on someone else's Steam profile or their own profile.

The final paragraph is accurate for the most part. At times Steam moderators will side trolls unless they somehow pull a miracle and ban trolls instead.

I don't think there is anything wrong here, but I can say it is not reasonable to fight back with members who violated policy.

Like when you were recently profile banned for violating ToS?

I didn't get profile banned. Please move on. As I said, this is private message discussion, not here.

Quite funny how you're telling me to not harass you yet you're insistent on calling me out on your profile. That alone makes you a hypocrite.
