Steam has a moderation issue

I had a person tell me in game they hate black people, then left a comment on my profile referring to black people as black monkeys. I reported them. About five times. Steam does nothing. Their comment would be still up if I haven’t removed it manually after one of many reports resulting in nothing. Their profile is full of proof of it being a long term continuous effort. Their account has a high level, which makes me think it may be why Steam seems to be protecting them. I reported people in the past and stuff was done about it. It’s my first time dealing with blatant racism AND no moderation effort from Steam. I even ended up messaging steam support about my concerns and got a generic response which amounted to nothing.

I see people speaking up about poor moderation on other platforms, so I chose to speak up about Steam’s as I’m really tired of this bullshit.

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.
