Unfairly treated by Steam moderation

where the mostly kind and friendly volunteer mods were replaced by, imo, harsh paid ones without any sympathy

Any source for this?

" So i made a post about a new award i would like " -> I am not 100% sure that asking for free a paid steam award are allowed on steam ...

"So i made a post about a new award i would like...incorrectly in the suggestions/ideas forum."
If this was your first time doing something like this, I'd have given you a warning. Or at most I'd give you a one day suspension. But that's just me and my way of moderating.

I voted that the moderation isn't bad, at least from my somewhat limited experiences with them. I didn't even get a warning for my shitposting in a ten year old spam thread in The Basement Collection forums, so I can't say they're strict. lol

For me, I can't really trust a post complaining about being kicked/banned/etc where the events that lead to it is being super vague. Typically that might even indicate the poster is intentionally withholding details, knowing that maybe they were in the wrong and the details with make them look bad (and not saying it's definitely the case with you, just that I have my doubts).

Without knowing what you posted exactly, how and where... I can't rightfully express my opinion of the way you were treated.

Wasn't there a revision and clarification of the terms and conditions around May 10?

I believe that i was unfairly treated by the Steam moderation recently.

For example, if something similar to this is said in the SteamCommunity....

At any rate, we at SG may want to re-read the revised guidelines and terms and conditions.

　Well, there may be some matters that can be avoided if they are not done within Steam's Community and are sent out to the SG side?

Nothing offensive at all.

Then show it to us. Majority of cases when someone says something like this, its borderline pornography.

for posting incorrectly in the suggestions/ideas forum

So where did you post it? If you are not actually showing where you posted it, I am pretty sure it was unrelated topic or forum.

So in conclusion - You are giving us nothing to support you by and just want to get on "steam bad" train. Majority of cases like this its unwarranted and the user in question got ban or whatever for a good reason. I'm not saying the support is all good and that you got the ban deservingly, but you have to provide some context here.

I only had quite the great experience with Steam support thus far. Granted, I barely ever needed to contact them.

I'm with some of the others here, without seeing the wording of the request it's hard to say. Based on some of the comments here though, I suspect they may've thought you were asking them to give you an award, as opposed to requesting a new type of award be created. Otherwise I don't see how suggesting a new type of award be created in the suggestions section would be improper conduct.
