amzd , in How would you change the Steam Interface?

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 :/

Haven't seen this bug myself, so might be a Linux only issue.

amzd ,

This is what it looks like

SamXavia OP ,
@SamXavia@kbin.run avatar

Yeah seems to be a linux problem as I've never had that on Windows.

Let it be managed by the window manager. It’s fucking atrocious in Linux.

@SamXavia
The interface is not outdated.
This not another protest.
Stop it....

SamXavia OP ,
@SamXavia@kbin.run avatar

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.

cianmor , in How would you change the Steam Interface?

Just make it consistent. There are so many buttons, etc. with different styles, layouts, etc.

SamXavia OP ,
@SamXavia@kbin.run avatar

Yeah it's one of the major downsides for new users as it will confuse those that are moving from console to PC.

Aria , in How would you change the Steam Interface?

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…

This is why my shit’s locked down to only allow viewing and interacting from people I’ve friended tbh

Lamb OP ,

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 don't use any 'social' aspects of the steam platform. it's used purely for the game library bits--installing and launching games.

Zacryon , in Steam has a moderation issue

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.

Lamb OP ,

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.

WarTowel ,

How do you know for sure that it means the report was dismissed? Maybe it’s just time based to stop report spam.

schmidtster ,

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.

schmidtster , in Steam has a moderation issue

I wonder if the amount of reports a user has previously accounts into anything?

If a user has a high ratio of reporting and low issue rates it would make sense to investigate each report fully instead of quick initial decisions.

You may not be meaning to be abusing the system, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Steam has anti abused measures in place that could be a factor here.

hakstc , in Steam has a moderation issue

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.

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

ne thing they do a decent job of is actually punishing people for bad behavior

Way too little, way too late. But yeah it does always feel good seeing the report feedback.

tdawg , in Steam has a moderation issue

Isn’t this an issue with the game not steam?

Lamb OP ,

No, comments were on Steam.

PlasticExistence , in Steam has a moderation issue

That’s infuriating. In the past a public tweet would normally get some movement, but since Twitter isn’t Twitter anymore, I’m not sure that method still works (or works as well).

I think this is worth making some public noise over. Whoever processed your initial report either did a garage job of it or was sympathetic to the user’s racism. Either way, it’s not acceptable.

Lamb OP ,

I don’t use social media outside of Lemmy and will leave Lemmy once I’m back to health and can bike again (I use Lemmy for commuting boredom). My first idea was the person might be working for Steam or knows someone who does and they’re sheltering them as I find it too hard to believe Steam is fine with blatant, frequent racism.

I’ll just stop by his place on the way home

Definitely an option.

Who gives a fuck? Ignore him and play some games. Quit being a pussy and letting strangers on the internet hurt your feelings. Fuck Mods. Fuck racist trolls. Fuck whiny bitches.

Can’t you just block them and move along?

You’ve done all you can do

ExcursionInversion ,
@ExcursionInversion@lemmy.world avatar

Also can mute in game or turn comms to friends only. Can set profile comments to friends only I believe as well.

Hope they never play COD or Counter Strike. Any games with edge lords I usually just mute all comms.

😂 right? People are all about censorship in gaming but it’s literally a few button clicks and they’re gone.

Facebones , in Steam has a moderation issue

They’re gonna protect their whales. It’s like Facebook, I report outright calls to violence, doing, and hate speech all the time to be told it “doesn’t violate TOS” but I make one comment that “hiding behind Christianity to justify your hate is bullshit” got me a hate speech ding on my account in under 5 minutes.

dangblingus ,

No idea how high their level is, but $20 and a handful of games is roughly what it takes to get an account to lvl 25 or so.

EssentialCoffee ,

Do you mean putting $20 in your steam wallet? I know someone with 197 games whose only lvl 11.
