[b]Update:[/b] Not getting unbanned. I added faggotcody.png to show why. [img]http://img847.imageshack.us/img847/5357/faggotcody.png[/img] Okay so as none of you know, I am doing a Team Fortress 2 Christmas giveaway. I have an entry form, but for obvious reasons, I am not sharing the link with Facepunch. I would probably get spammed with fake entries. In this form it asks for your Steam username and any email, it even says "You do not have to use a valid email." This is for means of contacting the entries. I already have 16 people entered as of me posting this. I have a video of me giving away a hat and I also give hats and stuff to my friends all the time, so anyone that knows me knows I am not being malicious. But, apparently a steam moderator, I do not know which incompetent moron, without warning, permanently banned me from the forums. It has my fucking email on the form, you get there from my YouTube video, and I don't ask for any fucking passwords. I don't say, "TURN OFF STEAM GUARD SO I CAN CONTACT YOU." for Christ's sake. I have a fucking post about trading Terraria for keys for my giveaway. I even have a reply saying, "It's for a Christmas giveaway and I need keys." Without any proof or reasoning for banishment, I am banned. I hope whichever moronic moderator banned me reads this. Needless to say anyone have 4 keys and willing to trade for Terraria? Merry fucking Christmas from Steam! [img]http://img835.imageshack.us/img835/6931/giveawyentryforum.png[/img]
[quote]Team Fortress 2 Christmas giveaway[/quote] but its free. Edit: oh wow I'm stupid you mean items. Shows how much I play TF2.
So uh, why did you tell us this? We obviously can't do anything and since you didn't post the link we can't join either. I just don't get it.
This isn't steam support forums we have no authority over what they do
[QUOTE=Tacosheller;33600928]This isn't steam support forums we have no authority over what they do[/QUOTE] Avatar is relevant to what would be my response to OP.
Most of the steamforums moderators are a buchn of dumb ignorant brownnosers. But yeah, better ask for the community name next time... or JUST the Email, it is actually enough to add someone. Still, steamforums mods are stupid.
So you [i]only[/i] got SPUF forum ban? Clearly not Origin :v:
[QUOTE=Blue Kirby;33600868]I hope whichever moronic moderator banned me reads this.[/QUOTE] Why post this here? I highly doubt any Steam moderators browse Facepunch often...
You attempted contacting them? Obviously in a calm manner, I'm sure things can be fixed if dealt with pacifically.
You're asking for their username, which is wrong.
So it's only a ban from the SPUF? Good you're much better off pretending they don't exist, but why not contact steam support if you have some odd wish to be unbanned.
Submit a support ticket and explain the situation
What a double standard you guys have. steam does it? "oh, it's ok, they'll fix it right up!" EA (or ubisoft, or whatever) does it? "OMG DEY R TEH WURST EVR I NEVR BYING GAMS FRUM DEM AGIN!!!11"

"OMG DEY R TEH WURST EVR I NEVR BYING GAMS FRUM DEM AGIN!!!11"[/QUOTE] People who contacted EA for swearing got pretty much told off. They even banned this guy because he got [i]swored at[/i] on the forums. Contacting support, they said he can't even play singleplayer games anymore. This guy I know too, got banned, asked in support, they literally had the fucking gut to tell him to go away, that they don't want his business. Yes, Origin/EA fucking sucks. Steam is way better.
In my experience with steam support even if you are innocent they'll send you automated responses and dance around the subject until they close the ticket so you're better off not bothering and moving on
To everyone above me who posted in reply, Steam will do just as little as EA or ubisoft. Stop treating them like gods, because they aren't.
If they only banned you from the forums, they were doing you a favor
[QUOTE=hoodoo456;33601729]To everyone above me who posted in reply, Steam will do just as little as EA or ubisoft. Stop treating them like gods, because they aren't.[/QUOTE] They aren't gods, but they obviously are their apprentices. As a part of their way of becoming gods, they must helps their fellows. Even if some, were sent to Hell's gate (SPUF Moderators), the others, went the right way. Now stop making generalizations!
You're generalizing just as much as I am.

A ban is a ban, but all of you seem to think that Steam is infallible, so EA is always worse.
okay so when you inevitably get permabanned from facepunch it's okay if garry permanently bans you from playing gmod. a ban is a ban after all
[QUOTE=NightmareXx;33605083]okay so when you inevitably get permabanned from facepunch it's okay if garry permanently bans you from playing gmod. a ban is a ban after all[/QUOTE] I doubt garry could permaban someone from playing gmod
[QUOTE=The Pi Is A Lie;33605189]I doubt garry could permaban someone from playing gmod[/QUOTE] Eh, why could he not.
yea because that's the point im making obviously [editline]6th December 2011[/editline] and yea he probably could anyway
[QUOTE=NightmareXx;33605083]okay so when you inevitably get permabanned from facepunch it's okay if garry permanently bans you from playing gmod. a ban is a ban after all[/QUOTE] Thats nowhere near what I was saying.
[QUOTE=NightmareXx;33605083]okay so when you inevitably get permabanned from facepunch it's okay if garry permanently bans you from playing gmod. a ban is a ban after all[/QUOTE] I'm not sure how he could permaban someone from playing GMod.....
Okay what were you saying. Because to me it doesn't look like your saying anything.
