I have noticed that some people in my friend list or that have commented on some things that have appeared in my activities have the frame around the profile picture yellow, and their name is yellow. It doesn't matter if they are a game or not. Does anyone have an idea what this is about?

here are some examples.

I wouldn't suggest this as it could probably trigger something on steam like VAC.

AS OF JANUARY 3RD at 7:45 STEAM GOLD HAS BEEN PATCHED I'm leaving this video up as a reminder of the glorious goldening that once occurred.

It's patched now though.

DON'T DO THIS! It's frowned upon by steam and can get your account in trouble.
