I got banned from it for commenting on the group's main admin's Greenlight submission: "This game should be freeware, not a Steam game."

How immature is that? It had little to do with my activity on the Steam group and if I can't be honest on another matter than the group without getting punished within the group, something is fundamentally wrong.

The group in question, like I mentioned somewhere, is not a trading group in itself, it's more of a group of finding potential trades to be made, based on whom can access deals other people want, not necessarily for profit.
The places you listed are either full of scammers or full of people seeking to profit, or in most cases, both.

Not only positive feedback should be considered. If you had seen the game you would see it's pretty much exactly like most freeware titles.

If someone is trying to feed a bucket of shit to a cow instead of using it to fertilise the soil to grow that cow some hay to eat and is trying to make it acceptable based on a good reputation, I'm going to call them out on that, and I won't be nice about it.

If you're going to be immature then expect to be treated the same way as well or/and there to be consequences. It's not that hard to
understand.

Lancestarr did not imply you couldn't be rude, he said to give actual feedback instead of saying of what you wrote. You have to understand saying "oh this game looks like shit release it as freeware" isn't the way to go. Instead explain in detail why you explain that way.

I don't see the point in this topic rather than you bragging how you got banned from a group. You won't even go into detail because you think it's breaking the rules when it's not. We've had many topic on the forums that go into detail of people getting kicked/banned from groups. The latest one I can recall is the incident with a user name CEO. He wasn't banned from SteamGifts because it's considered a group related problem, not an SG one.

(Oh my, Compass, seems you're still not over it.)

Take my earlier example of a bucket of shit, and make it a video game scenario. The reasoning is so obvious that no elaboration is required, as is the case with the game earlier.
Everyone else wants to know what group it is, so why doesn't someone have a moderator contact me in way or another and tell me it's alright to tell more, then I will. I'm not bothered with people not knowing what group it is from the top of their heads.

But how do you expect people to take what you say seriously if you don't elaborate on what you say?

Criticism is vital and developers can't improve if you can't elaborate why. If you keep giving short answers like "lol this game should be freeware". Believe it or not Greenlight developers do listen to feedback if someone brings good points and elaborates on them.

You have to understand that you seemed like a mindless troll with that comment from the developers perspective.

You don't really understand what they mean. If it is how you say, then you HAD to say something like this:

"In my opinion, your game is not improved enough in order to have a value. I believe that there are some improvements that you could make into the game to give it a more immersive and realistic looking. The most annoying problem I was able to locate is that the cows should not be just fed by a bucket of ___ (whatever it is) in such a plain and uncreative way. I think that you should improve it and create a more nice way of feeding the cows which will make the game get a real value. I also noticed and decided to feedback to you about these unimmersive characteristics of the game....... etc."

Instead, you just said:

"You game has no value and it should be a free to play game."

Now explain me WHY is what you said a feedback? A feedback contains:
1) Bugs/Gliches you noticed - You said non of these
2) Things that ruin the fun of the game - You said non of these
3) Ideas about of how could the game be improved - You said non of these
4) A NON rude opinion of the game - Well, you WERE rude. You could say at least: "In my opinion, I believe that the game will be of a fair value after it will be improved." Even though this is still not a feedback by itself.

So, tell me why should they have not banned you? You contributed ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.

A polished shit is still a shit, and me calling it shit doesn't change it.

There is no elaboration required when the criticised object is of almost insultingly revolting quality.

Edit: Wait a second, why am I trying to explain myself, this is not what the thread is about. The thread is about punishing me in the first party for a second party offense where the people involved just happen to be the same as the ones in the first.

The rule is there so people don't call out SteamGifts users for breaking SteamGifts rules. Being unfair is not the same as breaking a rule, and even if it was, those happenings were all on Steam, not SteamGifts. I'm not saying it's bad idea to not post the name/group/greenlight item, caution is always advised, but I do believe you would be alright posting at least the greenlight item. But I'm not a support staff so take that with a grain of salt

I don't think that that's the only reason, no (I know that calling people out for cheating you in a trade is also against the rules.)

It's also because the mods don't want to deal with the massive ugly arguments that it causes, or with the fallout of someone using SG to raise a digital lynch mob, or anything like that.

True this. I'm not resisting my ban, just where I'm not resisting my ban from other groups/group chats. The admin does not even need to reason why I get banned, it's completely his decision to ban me for whatever reason and without warning. I'm making a statement of how large groups are being ran and by people of what caliber. I'm not running a group so I assume all rights to act immature and 'unprofessional' (been trying to avoid that term, steam groups aren't a fucking organisation and nowhere near as serious).

Edit: sorry if "my ban from other groups/group chats" seemed cocky/braggy. I can't figure out a better way to put it.
