Valve doesn’t care one whit about good moderation. I got kicked from a CS game recently because I wouldn’t say the n word. The team agreed that only racists are allowed on the team and since I wouldn’t say the n word they kicked me. Of course I reported all of them but I have no doubt that report falls into a black hole and the 4 people proud of their racism just get to keep playing as if nothing happened.
Riot does a ton of things very very wrong but one thing they do a decent job of is actually punishing people for bad behavior like that and then notifying the reporters that hey, you helped us get those guys. Valve needs to take that kind of approach or their games and services will just continue to be overrun by this shit
I’m so sorry to hear that happened to you. I reported a racist game I saw on Steam and I don’t think anything ever came of it. You can turn off non-friends leaving comments on your profile, it’s not a great solution but at least it’ll prevent shitty comments on your profile in the future.
That’s not cool. How long did you wait for them to act? I guess it can take some time until they went through all reports. Moderating is a time-intensive process. But if that’s not the case here, then I agree with you that this sucks and there should be consequences.
You can tell a profile report was dismissed when you can report the person again. If you try to report again and it’s not dismissed, it will tell you you’ve reported the person already.
Just to figure that out would likely flag their account for report spamming.
I don’t know why this person is reporting so much, and I don’t want to victim blame, but at what point does someone need to look at their own actions to see why so many people are feeling the need to lash out and them the need to report.
It also seems like they are baiting people to have this many reportable incidences. People are assholes, but a lot of time people also aren’t innocent in these exchanges. Which of course matter to the end result when reporting as well.
I really like wholesome comments from cool people I’ve interacted with and I don’t mind seeing bigotry if I can use it as proof to get bigots banned from coms so someone more vulnerable won’t have to see it. I do mind if it’s allowed by the platform choosing not to do anything about it though.
I’d remove the need to authenticate for accessing things that are already on your computer. Why does it have a “remember me” checkbox if it’s not going to remember me…
I'm not protesting for a better UI, I much rather Protest for Trans people's rights.
I was just asking what people might want to update as I know if feels like an older program than most these days.
Fix the hover drop downs (from library or store buttons at the top) to not appear over other apps.
I think this is a Linux only issue but when I’m not even tabbed into the steam launcher and accidentally move my mouse over one of those buttons at the top it shows the dropdown over my currently focused app :/
I honestly want to be able to use similar plugins or an equivalent from my steam deck. The two j can think of are the HLTB (how long to beat) and the protonDB badges. When I look at my library on desktop I can’t see if it’s deck compatible unless I’m just missing something.
Others already mentioned the more important ones, like less chromium and especiallt better performance jesus christ…
Id want a skin like the ‘steam compact’ one we had years ago, if you wont add skin support then pls add smaller UI as an option for low-res and Deck desktop users
I wish ‘exclude by tags’ was more accessible, maybe if it prompted you to view that setting after you ‘not interested’ a few games that shared the same tags.
