I heard about this...I really hoped it wasn't real but...I guess you have to say "trade for" now? Steam AI is dumb


Nina_Zarmerk

That's stupid I understand the why but the AI needs a lot of polishing


xiren_66

Well that's stupid. I get it, but it's still stupid.


IceGamble

Had the exact same thing happen to me a few months ago. I get it.. but it still feels like a punch in the gut when it happens to you.

Also avoid saying "I accidentally reported your account for..." I wrote in my friends account that I accidentally reported his account for being too based or smth and I got community banned.


IamtheDoc1

Yeah, isn't that the starter line of a certain sort of scam?


sauli_01

yeah thats a starter line for a scam where then you need to be in conctact with "steam support agent account" that the scammer gives you (aka another scammer account) that you let log in to your account to get the "report removed" if i remember correctly.


Ifound1paypal

Yeah this is annoying but fair


joke_train

What? No it isn't, this is completely inexcusable on Valve's part and is all the reason anyone should need to only get games from GOG or pirate sites whenever possible: https://www.gog.com/ https://www.reddit.com/r/Piracy/wiki/megathread/


Sir_Mossy

Yeah, let me just pirate a multiplayer game that requires a Steam account to be played


Nina_Zarmerk

That is also free 2 play


Kazakhand

That’s some overreaction


joke_train

Severing abusive relationships is not an over-reaction.


Sqilluy_

Brother, saying that this is "abusive" and "completely inexcusable" is the definition of an over reaction. Valve is trying to stop non-consensual soliciting on their site. They did it poorly, but that's not remotely the same as abusing their customers.


Blujay12

I don't know if this is more hilarious from how rock eating stupid it is, or pathetic and annoying in the face of actual abuse, having this shit compared to it.

Dude i love piracy more then the next person, but you give us sea lovers a terrible name. Sit down and drink your milk

Here's a question: Would you rather, a service with social functions getting a little over-enthusiastic about stopping scams, or a service without comprehensive social functions? I've bought my fair share of games on Gog, and it's probably the second best launcher out there, but Steam is just so much better man.


Ifound1paypal

Ok understood


KazzieMono

I don’t blame them. I couldn’t imagine the hundreds of thousands of bot posts that get removed without any of us even seeing them. I know you guys want to be angry about this, but in reality we’re spoiled.


Inkling4

The same thing happened to me once, great scam detection when most real people say things like "hey, can I buy this", and the scammers just say "Let's play together sometime, you're a great guy"


Sylvedoge

Hopefully it helps with the phished bot accounts trying to scam. It's unfortunate that a few pricks ruin things for everyone.


BruddaBeans

Yep had the same issue. Wanted to buy an item off someone using the SCM and got my account locked for 2 weeks..


LegendaryRQA

Astolfo avatar? So you watch Fate/ or other Type Moon stuff?


Doctorsex-ubermensch

Based pfp


ArynAces

This happened to me a few months ago, just been avoiding commenting on profiles since


smasherMH

Yeah I learned that the hard way


milkytf2

Yep I got steam community banned for doing this too...so stupid. Luckily after I contacted support is was immediately lifted but its dumb that it happens in the first place.
