Reporting Scam URL's

IMPORTANT: ALL links within this group should be handled with care, and are most likely scam-links (programs). If you're unsure about a link, just post it and let someone else look at it.

This group is for moderators and regularly reporting users to find each other and have a central place to report scam URL's, so they can quickly be blocked throughout Steam community and chat - independent of availabity of certain moderators.

The thread to report is HERE (interested community moderators can subscribe to thread to receive notifications).

Additionally, sub threads could be made to discuss improvements to the system in general, and a central hub for reporting to other related authorities (like google, the hosting provider, the anti-virus sites etc).

The group will be private initially and remain private, and invitiations should be handled with care.

Retiring this group

2 червня 2022 р. - KillahInstinct | Коментарів: 2

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.

We can no longer post them in the forum without the automatic system picking it up. It’s happened to 3 users here where our accounts got flagged for it.

Please stop posting malicious links in the comments section. Read the group description and post them in the forum.

I agree with The Spoopy Kitteh, scammers also are exploiting the ability to message users not on their friends list. I've gotten 3 messages from bots today advertising scam websites.

Can we please push to require mobile authentication to upload items to the CSGO workshop? The amount of phishing link spam is getting out of hand.

Just a heads up: http://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=974809493 is an off topic discussion advertising selling artwork but it's in CSGO and the seller is asking for paypal in return for artwork. Upon asking him why he posted he said he has 15 alt accounts and doesn't care.
