Does this ban only stop me posting in the game's discussions
yes. Report this trash game and forget about this

Best way I found to see if a game has genuine trading cards is to install enhanced steam then in a box on the right of the store page it will say badge progress if it don't have a circle with the badge name it don't have trading cards even if in the info box says it has

This is about 98% accurate.
Occasionally ES won't put a Badge Progress link, even for a game that does have cards dropping and in the Market.

Nah, you're good, only affects this game's discussions. Doesn't look like a great loss either, tbh. As far as I know, these tags are dev-controlled, but Steam discourages from applying those tags before they're actually valid, but that's all they do, it seems. Best to give this trash the least amount of exposure as possible.

As I understand it, top ones should be fully user-controlled and side-ones fully developer controlled. You'd figure trading cards would check against an internal setting, though. Either way, neither set is particularly reliable- especially when it comes to users or developers putting co-op in place of team pvp, and users putting strategy in place of tactics.
Tsch.

Check out the reviews on the 'coal edition' DLC. :P

Thats steam fault. After the change in card drops games can HAVE cards, but do not DROP these. If you play those games and someday they have sold enough to enable cards you drop them depending on your previous playtime.
And for your question. Since game bans are not moderated, they should not affect your account in any way (besides being not able to post for this one particula game). It does not show on either your steampage or steamrep, so its fine.

It's Steam's fault that a developer is dropping inexplicable discussion bans? ;P
Well, I guess Valve is the one who allowed them onto the platform..
Going off the reviews on the coal edition DLC, it wouldn't be the first misrepresentation the developer has offered- regardless if that misrepresentation is based on them listing a false tag or simply hiding the fact that the game hasn't hit Valve's thresholds for card drops.

Nah, was only talking about the "trading card" tag. I assumed steam puts that tag up, as soon as tradingcards are implemented. If it's developer controlled... Well.
But anyways, it's steams fault anyway, since they still allow this crappy developer to come on their platform.

Did you edited that into your previous comment, or did I just not read properly and had the same idea?

The Valve line? I realized I'd forgotten to write that in, so I ended up adding it some seconds after I posted the initial comment. The coal line I pulled out at the same time due to what I perceived as confusing grammar, and edited back in a few minutes after (and after your reply). So if you recall a coal line at all, you presumably caught the post in those first few seconds.

Steam changed the process of allowing developers to add trading cards - a certain number of sales have to be made directly on Steam (in other words, bundle key or 3rd party seller activation's don't count) before trading cards will start to drop for all owners of the game.
For example, I redeemed a bundle key for Flower Arranging (whatever it's called...). I played it for a half hour, hated it but left it installed. Months later, three trading cards just showed up in my inventory.
As to being banned from a game forum, yeah the dev is being a jerk - I'm quite sure he knows that he hasn't hit the "Steam sale" threshold but doesn't want any possible new buyer to know that.... But being banned by a dev has exactly zero to do with your relative Steam standing. :-)

report the card issue to steam also give it a negative review and state the issue and what they did on the forums. if a game is under a % for bad reviews it will never show up on the front page.
as others have stated it does not effect your account in any way. you just can't post on that 1 forum unless he removed the ban.
update: i see you left a review so i marked it helpfull for more visibility. good job

Thanks! Yep, reporting the game and leaving a review were the first things I did after the ban. 😆

Just a quick question: if I'm banned from a game's discussion forums does that affect my account standing in any way?
I left a discussion in the boards of Achievement Clicker because trading cards are listed on the store page, but the game doesn't appear to have them. The developer, within 5 minutes, had banned me from the game's discussions without a reason or response leading me to believe they're aware of this but falsely advertising trading cards in order to fuel sales.
Anyway, I've never received any kind of ban like this before. Does this ban only stop me posting in the game's discussions or does it have some other negative repercussions on my account?
