I tried to discuss the use of steam hardware security keys on google's top steam forum threads about the subject and all my posts were deleted and the threads closed. And I got a community warning

Jesus dude, you resurrected a 6 year old thread thinking it would still be relevent?

Anyway, you’re lucky you didn’t get banned for spamming - next time, make one (1) new thread about the subject instead of commenting on multiple dead discussions.

interdimensionalmeme OP ,

A new thread on an already existing and established topic is completely pointless.

It would not be visible in the first page of the search and it would just spread the information and focus around.

Those were the right place to post. And now they’ve all been destroyed by that imbecile of a moderator.

Everyone in the future searching for this topic will just hit a dead end.

No, the reason they’re going to hit a dead end is because you tried to ressurect discussions that finished literally years ago - discussions started by now inactive accounts, replied to by people whose answer won’t have changed. You posted 4 TIMES asking people whose discussions had established there was no 2fa hardware support if there was 2fa hardware support - they had already said no, and you came in between 1 and 6 years later to ask again.

Instead of starting a new, visible discussion on the steam community, where topics are boosted by recent interactions, and it will be seen by the most relevent people, not just the randomers coming through google looking for the same answer as your, but for some reason you chose to ask people who have forgotten they ever needed help with this issue if they ever found an answer.

Lastly, I want to point out how fucking stupid and infantile it is that you’re not only asking the question again, but asking in multiple year old discussions: Steam has repeatedly said that Steamguard is their 2fa, and that’s it. Your “bu- bu- bu- i’m important i need hardware to stop evil hackers from targetting my vibeo gane” is absolutely irrelevent to them, a position they have not been secretive about.

It’s almost as if the mods explained the reason for their actions! Unthinkable!

interdimensionalmeme OP ,

You’re missing the comment I left in there. Anyway, enjoy your google results leading to closed threads with no answers.

wahming ,

FYI, your comments were deleted. I’m guessing they’re only visible to you

interdimensionalmeme OP ,

I can’t see them either, they have been purged entirely. Now all thread major threads about security keys are closed and people who think security keys are about card trades(??) and how they don’t protect their precious cards have had the last word that it’s not important to them…

wahming ,

Can’t you just start a new thread?

interdimensionalmeme OP ,

It would never be seen by the vast majority of people, I don’t see the point of creating yet another discussion when there was four of them already going and were some of the top links on google for “steam login security key”

wahming ,

Google results are not static. If your info was useful it’d end up on top eventually

interdimensionalmeme OP ,

But there’s not going to be any info. All the people who had relevant information, came in from google, hit a closed thread and then left. There will not be a future conversation until the dead wood is cleared by a forest fire.

wahming ,

New. Thread.

sudoku ,

Well stop necroing old threads.

interdimensionalmeme OP ,

I hope that words dies from our lexicon, what a terrible practice, shutting down discussion when it is the first result on google.
