I know exactly what you mean. I filed a report on a user for possible Multiple Accounts, and the ticket was closed without a single comment.
I get another moderator to look into it, and 2 of the suspected accounts (out of 6 total) the person is using came from the same IP address.
I mentioned that the other accounts probably also connect via VPN, so hopefully it's being looked at.
But yes, support often closes crap without justification or comments.
Comment has been collapsed.
user reports can't be commented on.
and i don't mean they can't mention stuff, i mean the function to reply is even disabled for them. ;)
Comment has been collapsed.
It's disabled for Members, but Members used to be able to comment on tickets.
I haven't looked lately to see if Moderators are unable to comment on Tickets.

Would have been faster to just check without searching.

In case that wasn't clear enough, we Mods cannot comment on User Reports. Rest assured, however, that such reports are not closed until they have been thoroughly canvassed.
Comment has been collapsed.
It wasn't canvassed enough. I actually had to get a second mod to take a look at it, and certain information was found out.
User is still here though despite there being evidence against said user.
Comment has been collapsed.
It wasn't canvassed enough.
You have no way of knowing. We Mods do not share details of our investigations, account flagging, or corrective action. Perhaps 90% of what we do is never even seen by "the public." If a user is punished for something, it is because we were able to gather sufficient evidence. If not, then we were either able to clear the individual of the wrongdoing, or the investigation remains ongoing.
And that is not even taking into account all of the user reports for things that are within the site rules....
Comment has been collapsed.
If it's user report as far as i know they don't get a reply. If the user was suspended before nothing happens otherwise they get suspended.

+1
otherwise (other ticket types) they should reply and this topic maybe justified...
Comment has been collapsed.
Started to read and this is the first thing that came to my mind.
So after this post, that is exactly what I'll be doing.

Please note that user reports cannot be commented on, including by staff members.
Important
Due to the high number of user reports, comments are disabled. Reports will be closed by a staff member once they're reviewed, and action taken if deemed necessary.
I've been bugging cg to allow at least staff to reply to user reports, but it's not something he's looking to implement anytime soon.
Comment has been collapsed.
That's a pretty shitty system, when you can't even state why a report was closed.
Comment has been collapsed.
I love staff members that aren't afraid to criticise the hand that feeds them. Those are the people that will do their jobs well, if their boss isn't someone who will punish them for it.
Comment has been collapsed.
I am unaware of any Mods who are afraid to criticize "the Boss." We do it constructively, however, which may be why we get away with it.
Comment has been collapsed.
I was speaking in a broad sense, not this site/job specifically.
Comment has been collapsed.
It's a shame that comments on user reports were retroactively removed... I filed a couple of user reports months ago, everything went well, perfectly happy, got comments explaining the resolution and rationale to me, but now when I go back to check, the comments aren't there anymore. I guess it doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things as it's in the past, but it's a bit strange it had to be done that way, ie. completely wiping out all comments rather than just preventing new ones. Would be nice if they can be reinstated after this is eventually lifted, if it ever is.
Comment has been collapsed.
As far as I know, user reports could never be commented on. I could be wrong though.
Comment has been collapsed.
Hmm, no, I had some sort of feedback on the page for my ticket/report, and I think it couldn't have been called anything other than a comment. Also, it's gone now.
Comment has been collapsed.
I have one single reply on a user report from 4 years ago ^^
Comment has been collapsed.
Huh, you always learn something new. I know that since SGv2, user reports haven't been able to be replied to, and I thought for all time before that, user reports went into the void queue that only cg could access. I guess at some point a long, long time ago user reports was actually functional.
Comment has been collapsed.
once they're reviewed
Yes reviewed, but they didnt. I created it and it closed immediately.
Comment has been collapsed.
Because they are closed right after I clicked on "Create Ticket".
Comment has been collapsed.
they might of already reviewed it from one of the other 15 reports and instantly closed it due to the fact that action was already going to be taken, or it was discovered that there wasn't a reason to take action.
Comment has been collapsed.
Nope he never been banned.
Rule:
Use the appropriate avenues for support. If you have an issue with another user, submit a ticket with a user report, rather than calling them out within the community or on the forum.
Why is he allowed to calling out him on the forum?
Comment has been collapsed.
they made a public service announcement trying to help the community to not break the rules. i did the same thing without a giveaway link a couple weeks earlier. all they did was call them out for being a gifter, there are no rules against talking about someone in general.
so they reviewed it & decided action was not deemed necessary.
Jatan11t currently has won 680 games -- is this a callout? xD
Comment has been collapsed.
But isnt that the same if I know someone created a fake giveaway and I just want to help the community, why I get 2 months ban for it?
Comment has been collapsed.
you would of been telling the community this person is doing a bad thing which is a callout.
whereas the other case they were telling the community about a persons mistake and how it could cause them to accidentally break the rules.
don't get me wrong it's a hard rule to interpret, and even vague comments can be considered a call-out. but one being a friendly piece of advice to not get people in trouble, and the other one pointing the finger at someone saying they are doing something wrong on purpose are two different things.
i can't answer the reason for the length of a ban though, typically if it's that long then its due to prior incidents.
Comment has been collapsed.
think of that particular rule as a glass window. ^^
the torch cave topic walked up and smacked it, but it didn't quite break.
the fake giveaway incident would of walked up to it and hit it just hard enough to crack.
i'll be perfectly honest and tell you my incident (unmentioned) i walked up and used a diamond cutter and broke right thru it. ;)

why I get 2 months ban for it
Are you sure you are talking about steamgifts and not some other website?
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes it was steamgifts. I wrote "Look at his other giveaways" and Ronix banned me for 2 months. Later I was banned for 1 months because I wrote "Why you do not activate the dlc?". Thats why Im so pissed off right now, because they ban for for this funny reasons for this long times.

User report? Wait, mods actually check user reports? o.O
Comment has been collapsed.
Indeed they do. I filled my quota of support requests yesterday simply through user reports. And they're all closed now. Plenty of the people I reported got suspended. 3 of them permanently.
Comment has been collapsed.
I accidentally made a honey pot for rule breakers with a recent giveaway. So i just spot-checked a bunch of them and reported them. Plenty of people who did not like to activate their games, or enjoyed winning the same games over and over again.
Comment has been collapsed.
Repeat offenders who keep not activating their keeps do end up getting perma-suspended. I don't know how many times you need to get suspended for not activating your games or multiple wins, but it does seem to be a point where they get a perma-suspension. It won't be the first time they get suspended though, even if they have over 20 unactivated games.
Comment has been collapsed.
What's the official "guideline" for steam bundles/multipacks though? Do they count as 1 non activated win or as x non activated games? Cause I have seen people who would be way over 20(even had one with 38 total) if the games counted individually but because they were multipacks(e.g. Valve Complete Pack) they served a suspension for around a month and are back prowling around.
Comment has been collapsed.
perma's are typically only done after several prior regular suspensions and warnings. most likely being several non-activations &/or a combo of multi-wins, but it could be a combo of several different other rulebreaks in the mix.

Who said you got paid? O.o I never wrote that. You can do a job too even without get paid.
Comment has been collapsed.
the "job" part of the title insinuates an income that inherently comes along with a typical job though.
Comment has been collapsed.
Eh, although I disagree with the main post here ripping on mods, I would have to agree that a job does not insinuate being paid. Oh well!

Not surprised that OP is of that opinion considering how he was using his list before two way blacklisting
Coincidentally i would not have added him to mine before the implementation, which means it's working exactly like i wanted it to.
Comment has been collapsed.
OP's the only one who unblacklisted me since the two way blacklisting, after a random group blacklisting.
It's such a cheap move to unblacklist now, it almost makes me blacklist him back, but I want to keep my blacklist clean and empty. =)
Comment has been collapsed.
Hm, makes me curious to see if he unblacklisted me. Consider he blacklsited me for posting a picture of a dog/penguin mashup, he used to be rather trigger-happy with his blacklist before the change.
For the record, this is the pengudog I posted
Comment has been collapsed.
These changes are inviting me to start using it,
he clearly didnt want me to enter his GAs, nothings changed, there where diffenrent circunstances that lead him to clear his list. and blacklisting quickly removed his GAs from the main Page :P
Comment has been collapsed.
I wouldn't have minded either if the blacklist removal if it wasn't at this time. :)
I guess I'll add him to my list after all, to balance out the situation.
Comment has been collapsed.
It's also funny how he complained about having so many blacklists at some point, despite his earlier attitude being "go ahead and blacklist me, idgaf -.-". :P

I suggest that gets rewritten in a more clear way. As it is now, nobody will understand it! /s

EDIT: +20 blacklists since yesterday. -.- But np, you harm yourself with the two way blacklist.
