Hassat Hunter 571 Posted March 15, 2016 Valve does sure love cracking down on those EVIL non-smartphone owners. The hate on them is strong for some reason... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VarsityPuppet 1,085 Posted March 15, 2016 The abuse continues. I'm starting to wonder if a specific community moderator has it out for you? I assume a community moderator is not a Valve employee and more like a forum volunteer (same as here), except they revel in the fact that they have to power to silence speech they don't like.

1Leonard 134 Posted March 15, 2016 Have you tried not posting inflammatory things, accusing people of asskissing, calling people fanboys if they don't agree with you etc? Might improve your quality of life tenfold. except they revel in the fact that they have to power to silence speech they don't like. I'm not an internet-moderator, nor do I have any problem with any form of speech as long as they add something of value to the discussion. If a post that adds inherent value to a conversation is removed and the poster is banned I would call it silencing them, as it prohibits them from speaking their mind and convincing the opposition of their viewpoint. So my question here is: Is that the case here? What did this post add to the discussion that was valuable? If it did not add anything new to the discussion and was solely posted there to get a rise out of certain people I wouldn't call it an unfair decision or "abuse".

Hassat Hunter 571 Posted March 15, 2016 It was just talking about the $0.03 items, so I mentioned the 15-day gamble for actual worth items... and the other user posted like 10 comments insulting everyone who was against the authenticator already. Guess who did not get banned? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hassat Hunter 571 Posted March 18, 2016 And now I'm permanently banned from Steam general discussions for insulting one of those clowns who was REVELING in the fact people are suffering from this. But of course that punk stuff goes free.Steam moderation at it's finest. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
