Kill the Steam Support
Yes, this is basically a death threat.
Against bots. Against you my dear Steam ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.
So I ask to turn off the Steam Support. Valve will spare some money on running that weird AI.

Sure...
you bits and bytes claimed to not consist of any bots.[lh3.googleusercontent.com]
Which is quite the bot response to begin with. ^^

Not believing any of it.
You do not share any insight - except of useless nonsensical phrases.
You copy and paste your responses.
You have a reel of first names that is repeating constantly.

I don't like to be moderated by an artificial force.
Ultimately...
I've made multiple tickets about extending my community ban to be permanent.
Until I got quite fed up with...[lh3.googleusercontent.com]

You cannot grant me a permanent community ban upon request because of... many reasons.[lh3.googleusercontent.com] :facepalm:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_cF377eW0nU

And then you just spinned me right round, right round...[lh3.googleusercontent.com]

However, as you can see I am persistent.
But apparently... so are you, dear Steam Support.[lh3.googleusercontent.com]

Pull the plug of that ♥♥♥♥♥♥ system or finally grant me my wish.
I hate to go down the martyr-road. You could have avoided that by simply complying to a user request!


I've previously requested a permanent community ban, as I thought I am fed up with the community.
But these people are just what you called for. The community is as-is.
And you cannot control them.
They may be able to control themselves, even better than you can.


The thing is... My wish of getting the plug pulled from this damn ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, probably won't be granted.
So I would face further idiotic decisions.

Therefore once more: GRANT ME A PERMANENT COMMUNITY BAN!

And if I see anything else than "permanent" aside of the timeframe, I will come back at that day and repost this damn issue.
Because similar to these ithaca asshats from 505 Games, I will stay persistent.

As persistent as the poor rating of the Support on Trustpilot:

Cheers

There are several obvious way to get permanently community banned that dont require you to ask.

Im sure you can figure at least a couple of them out.

These should not be necessary.

Especially if I have only an issue with the "service" called Steam Support.

The last favour they could do me, would grant me my request. :wellok:

Youre not trying hard enough. If you really want what you say, you would.

Instead you keep repeatedly posting this nonsense for attention.

Not trying hard enough?

Dude, if I ask for a permanent community ban directly in the TICKETS, over and over, I am perfectly trying hard enough.

As drawing this into the public was the last resort.

The Support asked me for, by being ignorant.
They could have avoided this topic being raised, by simply complying to my request.


Instead, I've made some of the tickets and our... "conversation" public and also will restore some of my deleted posts.

This is not recommended but turn Steam Guard off to no longer use the forums.

Or have some self control.

:nkCool:

I have nothing against the community.

Some members even believe to have psychic powers or think they are certified psychologists, without any actual knowledge in that regard.

Funny times... Except if Big Brother comes with their stupid conclusion that are out of context and without understanding jokes.
I'm fed up with the support.

The community is as-is. And it's good as-is.

Support won't permanently ban you from the community just because you ask them to. It doesn't work that way.

When support tells you to comment on the community is their polite way of saying 'Your issue is none of our business, go scream in the desert if you like' (Honestly I'd love if they stopped directing people here without purpose)

A permanent community ban won't solve a self control issue. A new account will be made and the person will keep visiting the forums and posting.

You are brabbling the same mindless stuff like the user before.

I have interest in participating with the community (as I do participate with a pseudo-psychologist as you declared yourself by that lousy analysis ;))
I have no interest in creating another account.
I have no interest in getting judged by a system that lacks of any humanity and cannot read the context of comments.
I am happy to receive weird assumptions from other community members screaming out of their echo chambers. :D

Just take a look here:
Number 1[lh3.googleusercontent.com]

Number 2[lh3.googleusercontent.com]

The reason why I still receive these popups is, because I have not acknowledged them.

I will acknowledge all of them, if I receive another one where there is no timeframe anymore when the privileges get restored.
Also I have PROMISED the support that I will come back at 22 Nov with the same attitude.
As I am not changing towards a weird fasicstic "service" that lacks of any humanity and proper evaluation of context and is able to differ between jokes and ill-will


But nothing against your white-knighting.
Again, as I said... The community could moderate itself better than the support could ever do.


The thing is... An assumption comes often from a personal place.
So if you assume that I am that addicted to the community, maybe you've issues yourself with it?
You can perfectly look into my post history and compare topics in which I posted, but stopped posting as of the community ban that lasted until today.

Feel free to assume and suspect any other user posting there is another account of mine.



Which is my next big issue. Valve should implement a system that ensures that EVERY user just has ONE account.
But they won't do that, because a new account either is a new potential for additional sales.
Fine... That's how capitalism works.

Still, I do not approve this "service" that stalks users in the background.
Which is why I openly wrote then in dozens of tickets of how I would like to have my account treated.



You are just a community member.
You have no power to help me upon my request unfortunately. But thanks for posting.

Then why want a community ban? You can't participate then.

Originally posted by Just Chill:

They can't. They cannot ask for ID due to laws (which is a good thing, mind), so there is no way for them to know.

Originally posted by Just Chill:

Everybody on these forums is.

Outside breaking the rules severely, there is nothing you can do. Buyt even then, it seems Valve doesn't do "permanent" much in that aspect anymore. So likely no luck for you there.

Yes.
But I cannot be mistreated by the support either and that weights more for me than participating at the community.

It's quite the pitty that this is the only way.
I've explained the support my motives more than enough.

And yeah... Ignoring such a request either falls under mistreatment of a customer for me.
It's not like I would raise a ticket and ask them to remove the permanent community ban again.

My last ticket where I tried to reason with them was on Nov 2.
And I have told them that I'll be back on the hubs at Nov 22, with such a topic.

Funnily, I've seen this topic deleted immediately after I posted it.
Someone restored it though.
Not sure what's going on, but I again feel mobbed by the support through ignorance. :(


Is it really impossible to understand where I am coming from, not seeing such a ban as a penalty, but a relief?

I cannot speak in favour of Steam Support either.
They ignored many of my issues and answered with copy paste replies.
Oftentimes when I was trying to inquire about various things, they'd answer one and ignore all the others.

So although I didn't read the entirety of your post, it is clear to me that you're frustrated and annoyed by then and I can understand.
Just Chill Nov 22, 2024 @ 9:25am 
Thanks and agreed.
It's like talking with an automated thing.

Their reasoning is often out of context.
And they use the same phrases over and over. Another thing that makes it look like an automated system.
"When posting in the Steam Community, please ensure that content is appropriate for all Steam users."
How am I supposed to know what is offending for a million of users?
I've bad humor. I've either wrote them that that a dozens of times and they always ensured to "know where you am coming from".

"please note that the existence of content that violates Steam's rules and guidelines does not permit other objectionable content."
Then why is other objectionable content allowed to exist in the first place?
Aren't your customers supposed to be equal? oO


Additionally, when asked about their working methods, they either said they cannot share details about it.
So there is absolutely no transparency and you basically end up flabbergasted in the most negative way, about their actions. :wellok:


Anyways, with this topic I've vented about my frustration and annoyance - as you properly named it - enough and also fulfilled my promise to the support to do so publicly.

So I guess I let it slide and see what happens...

Maybe they finally respect the wishes of an absolutely unsatisfied customer, who does not believe in a change to the better about this system.
Therefore: Last resort.

Cheers

Why not just firewall the SteamCommunity domain and call it a day?
You can even have someone block it in your equipment for parental controls and not give you the login for that device.
Just Chill Nov 22, 2024 @ 9:45am 
Why should I block the Steam Community?
I'd like to block the Steam Support. XD

Yeah, yeah... Can't have one without the other.
So I rather go with none.
Yet due to respect for this platform, I'd rather like the "other" to remove my privileges and comply to my protest against their illusive, random and programmed working methods.

Because it's the easiest route to get what you want, you'd be unable to load the forums or anything using that domain, so basically the client itself, launching games etc.

If it was me, you'd get what you want - but proof of account ownership would be necessary alongside internal documentation, to avoid any negative scenarios coming out of such. to do certain requests, acceptable verification would be necessary. I don't think they likely want to go that route though, for whatever reason. Maybe they have a policy about not doing that when someone's not really being much of an issue. :BL3Shrug:
