As the title says, I no longer feel safe on Steam, thanks to Steam support.

My account received a community ban on 15th of Feb (Was lifted later via support within 24hr/s).

Till this moment everything is perfect, I got my account back, but I can't help but wonder. What exactly caused that ban in the first place?
So, I went ahead to read Steam Rules & Guidelines. but I did not find anything related to something that I might have posted.
That is where I was confused, did I just get a false ban?
So, I made another reply on the same ticket.

Later, I did a full search on my account comment history to find what I might have posted that goes against Steam rules.
I noticed a single deleted comment of mine that I had made exactly a day before. I did not delete any comments of mine recently.
I had to only assume that this comment was the one that got removed via support and caused the community ban.
My comment clearly does NOT go against any rule steam has, it's simply me offering a few of my Steam items (TF2 Keys) for another user's Steam item (Gift).
There wasn't any related 3rd party payment method involved, only in that case it goes against the rules for those who don't know.

At this point, I am expecting an apology from Steam support that their AI system detects money talks and made a mistake.

Not they only insist that my comment goes against Steam, but they force-closed the case. Leaving me wondering what wrong I have done.
I constantly make such comments since I'm a trader. I add new people and comment my offer to them.
Now I no longer feel safe on Steam wondering when it will decide to give another false ban that might never be lifted.

I won't go as far as calling it "ripping people off" I basically offer a certain amount of cash which gives me a space to make profit.
Some accept my offer, some don't. Regardless I don't force my offers at anyone.
There is no bad intention in low-balling itself, as long as I send the promised offer then I don't exactly see where the issue is.
I only make comments at screenshots when the comment section is closed, I've got no bad intentions to hide.
Besides, almost all huge traders I know low-ball delists even at lower prices than me you'd be surprised.
Not to mention that your comment is irrelevant to the topic, though it's appreciated.

I don't mind getting reported, not at all.
I just don't see how issuing a community ban is the first step that had to be done with this situation.
Issuing a warning and removing my comment is all support needed to do to bring my attention to that matter.
Or at least that's my opinion. everyone is free to share theirs.

It's not just Steam. You got hit by AI detection. If you've bene paying attention to the hype about ChatGPT and the like lately, you should see how underwhelming it actually is, and how it can be abused. This isn't a new thing, but the overhype is making it be pushed in the wrong direction. You're not safe practically anywhere.

In what way are you being harassed by woke people?
If it's serious we might have to make a YouTube video about it.

Woke is bad around here. Any thing that goes against Woke agenda automatically get banned at steam. I am amazed that a company that caters internationally doesn't obey other countries laws that has against woke agenda. In the country I am currently living in would have banned many woke users and any comments would have been removed.

You're better off using other websites besides steam.

Big picture... Imagine if everyone posted trade offers wherever they pleased. Steam would look like a back-alley graffiti wall.

Take the lesson and move on.✌

on steam, you can never feel safe.
post a link to the official website of the game company that produced a game in the official hub to that game...life time community ban. (i had this this year, could get the support to unban me)
post a screenshot from a game, ban.
...
the best is you do nothing, post nothing, write nothing. -_-
