Stalkers spreading my personal info on steam
There are stalkers on steam spreading my personal info via their steam profiles. Reporting them does nothing. Can any moderators help please?

Contact Steam Support. Maybe?

They take like 3 months+ to reply, and its a copy pasted answer that has nothing to do with the query. I have experienced this many times.

The report button in the profile does nothing, as in, no action is ever taken...

That's not true. It's not there just for show.

I have reported harrassment via the report button many times, they just keep doing it...

File a lawsuit.

As other Steam Community users said, you have two options: 1) Report the profiles / 2) Speak with Steam Support about this.
Valve/Steam Support won't respond to a Steam Topic. Also, their support works very hard to keep everyone happy. If you can provide as many info/proofs as possible, that might speed up the process. Have a good day!
Kind Regards,

The report button is working, i just recieved 2 messages today, and now the profiles are punished by the Support.

You need a prove when you are reporting people, just to say they are stalking me, might not enough.

Use the above. Explain what happened, provide links to the stalkers' profiles (use the Steam ID64 link not the custom URL link, they can change those), attach screenshots of their profiles as evidence.

Someone tried to doxx one of my friends. That someone got community banned.

And how long did it take you to get a response?

Well in my case they respond rather fast, I just reported someone today and a few hours it was taken care of (and I have reported a hand full of other from multiple accounts).

When you report someone make sure to add all the information needed and links into the report. Multiple reports don't help you out ether.

I can assure you that reporting does work, but may take some time for them to get around to each report.

I've already said that their profile contains my personal info but they just dont respond...shouldnt they look at my reports first as they were filed earlier? How could they respond to reports filed later first....that just makes no sense...

Well you admitted to reporting multiple times and that can look like false reports sadly and they might have looked it over and past it up (but unsure).

And profile reports go to Valve as mods deal with the fourms, so they won't be able to do much if anything about it.
