Banned until July 11, Gabe Valve, fix your sh*tty community because the ban thing really starts making no sense. Worst community in the world, I hope Steam dies in a week. And even if I contact the support, it's totally useless because I know the bot support will say the ban is justified. Ban is justified in my ass, I don't think it's justified, because I see a lot of bullsh*t in this community. Mods are probably brainrotted. Seriously, I don't find so fair this community. The ban thing is getting toxic and abusive. Another failure for this nonsense community by Gabe Valve which he probably doesn't care.

Just chill out in the Persona5: The Phantom X game hub.

Agrees as saying this in Destiny 2 Got me a Ban for life for they claims I threatened a moderators life The Statement You are In Violation to Life and Humanity that turned into I threatened a Moderators life

Stating, "God will take care of you" in many cultures, is a direct threat.

Bans often lead to anger and retaliation in some form.
The ban reasons are often too vague, not stating what the exact problem was and when asking for clarity, steam support will refuse to answer due to policies.

This combination shows both how and why bans are ineffective. At most they can give someone time to calm down, but- since steam users can create and associate with themselves multiple accounts, for those who want to do actual harm, they have free reign and will not actually feel punishment.

So in a way, it is indeed feedback for Steam, but not about the Steam client. Its about the way staff operates and their impact on the human psyche when they make these decisions.
We don't know when people issue a ban, but for Valve in the modern scene, they tend not to make this decision lightly.

It used to be harsher and longer during, but I think valve understands its own weaknesses. I also think the community members should correct themselves and eachother; not is it always nessecary for valve to step in. By doing that, it will also help them react faster due to lightening the load on the moderation team.

But perhaps I digress. The thread might get locked due to it being off topic or because they rather have you contact Steam Support. Still, It might be useful for feedback reasons.

ok here Goes If you don't believe in God Why do you Fear God

And you're not alone Banned for saying things like God will come for you, Follow the Light as Darkness has nothing to follow and You are in Violation of Life and Humanity yes just saying these Got me Banned for what saying Truth or maybe insinuating I am God never could be only walks with him at all times in every aspect of my life

Sometimes I do think Devs go overboard or misunderstand something. The "take care of you" statement could be interperted in different meanings (direct threat or just general believed consequence).

However, preaching/pushing your religion on others would be a problem. This is a video game forum, not a church. So consider appropriate time and place and have a bit more respect that others do not need to share your religious beliefs.
