Steam forums are overrun by Russian propaganda bots.
"Please include a trans flag for representation in your video game!" is obviously rage bait for incels that are on there. And let me tell you guys, there are a LOT of incels/nazis all over Steam.
All this to say, Valve REALLY needs to work on their moderation platform however they can. It is a dark spot on an otherwise good platform. (I don't play multiplayer games, so I don't know anything about their gambling habits to make a comment on.)
That rage bait is mainly because Valve added Steam Points, so people say dumb shit to bait awards. They should remove Steam awards giving points to other people, I don't why they ever thought that was a good idea.
Oh, definitely. I can see it often enough to confirm. I think some people have caught on to the "grift" so to speak where they (and I) just block those accounts now. Shouldn't have to, but that's how it is for now.
