Hi all,

I come to you with some sad news. Valve has surprised the few of us that were still checking in every now and then and doing the things they don't really care about, such as blocking scam URL's and other things, with that they're retiring the volunteer moderator program entirely.

Effective tomorrow, none of us will have any rights anymore - other than a 'retired moderator badge' so we won't be able to help in any meaningful way.

The only answer you will be able to get from us is:
- Use reports buttons
- Contact Support

I don't think things will get much better, but I don't think they really care anymore - no money to be made from moderating.

I wan to thank everyone of you for helping and posting numerous scam URL's and protecting so many users from getting scammed. Something something about the unsung heroes..

I want to thank Max, ian and Tito in particular who I think picked up a lot of the slack after I stopped doing this and kept the groups contributions valued. I hope I didn't forget anyone, it's been a while since I actually ran numbers on who contributed.

Feel free to discuss here although I doubt there is much to say.
