Reviews are supposed to be helpful not retarded and funneh
Comment has been collapsed.
I think a funny review is good now and then, as long as it is related to the game and it isn't a shitpost copypasta.(Recipes, Cancer, or WWII stories) Otherwise there would be no point to the "funny" tag.
Edit: I'm just Valve is finally doing something about the shitpost spams.

What does a recipe have to do with the game itself?
Comment has been collapsed.
I don't mean his review, but in general.
The recipes, cancer stories, and other copypasta shitposts are stupid and I wish more of them got this punishment. I mean the people who make something original and funny, while discussing the good/bad of the game.

I meant that I consider his review to fall into the shitpost copypasta category. Changed it up a bit to clarify.

But why the funny button then?
And what about all those thousands of other reviews that are like that?
Comment has been collapsed.
That was put there in an attempt to encourage people to actually downvote useless reviews by placating them with something else so they could be like 'well, we still acknowledge that you were trying to be funny'. Unfortunately, the average voter either doesn't have or pretend not to have a sufficient level of understanding this concept and therefore continues to upvote useless reviews, with the 'funny' bonus option being used almost entirely at random.

My theory is that before the 'funny' option existed, Valve believed that people upvoted useless reviews because of cluelessness, thinking that funny would equal useful. Thus, by adding the extra option, they were hoping that people could still vote for the funnyness (is that a word?) but keep it separate from the usefulness vote (thus, combining a downvote with 'funny' if the review was funny, but useless). Of course I can't be sure but this seems a reasonable theory. Unfortunately, no matter what, it's clear that it didn't help either way.
Yes, I guess we can conclude that it obviously wouldn't help against people who deliberately troll. I think they were naively hoping that the majority of the community didn't troll on purpose.

You can't combine them though, your choice is Yes OR No OR Funny not Yes OR No (PLUS Funny).
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh, I just checked and it seems that you're right. That's weird. Did they change it? I'm pretty sure it was different before.
It kind of makes even less sense now, although I guess they're hoping for people to shift from Yes to Funny, it's no longer really logical.
Comment has been collapsed.
No, initially and for some time after (I don't remember when exactly they changed it), you could rate a review positive/negative AND funny at the same time.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, they changed it some time ago. Not sure how I feel about it myself. I guess it's better than before, but i wish the funny votes were counted as part of the total, so a review with 40 upvotes, 20 downvotes and 40 funny gets ranked as 40 out of 100 positive votes, not 40 out of 60.
Comment has been collapsed.
Hopefully, the thousands of other reviews that are like that will also be dealt with.
It's completely ridiculous that people prospecting to read reviews for a new game has to scroll through a million troll shitposts that are posted with no consequences with comments that are completely useless. Sure, the customers are doing Valve a free service by adding serious reviews, but the trolls are doing nobody any favours when they post their shit everywhere.
I mean, if people would actually downvote the shitposts, it'd be fine. But again, the community doesn't seem to, or pretend not to discern the difference between 'usefulness' and 'funny'.

Have they scrapped 90% of the curators as well then? Because for fuck's sake...

Why exactly posting a chocolate chips cookies recipe on a game review is against Valve's "terms of service"
Why you ask it us? Ask Valve -.-

I wonder if you're always this salty or just maintaining a character here in the discussions
Comment has been collapsed.
May I ask you who you are or why I should know you? If you have nothing useful to say, nerve someone other. Thank you.

Which answer? I dont see any. Also I already wrote it

Im lonely? I not the one who just write nonseless thing just to have someone to communicate. Search for friends please and flame them, not me.

With the difference that you will never find one nonseless comment written by me. Also you will never find one flame I wrote. Not like you:
that you are always an asshole

but starting with: "Why you ask it us? Ask Valve -.-"
your logic is an EPIC FAIL...

Despite how popular private Ragnarok servers are, it seems the company actually is pretty strongly opposed to them. Seems there may actually be a reasonable basis for Valve banning that one.
Of course, given Valve, it's just as likely that they casually glanced at your point-by-point review and immediately assumed each of your points were steps in a cookie recipe.
Comment has been collapsed.
Because it wasn't funny or helpful the first hundred times someone did it, and it still wasn't as good a real review when you did it.
If you can't tell that it's spam, I don't know what to tell you.

I think my favorite part is that you played 558 hours, but you don't recommend the game.
Comment has been collapsed.
That doesn't strike me as unusual. Steam occasionally misrecords time and people leave games running idle, sometimes rather often. More notably, online games change status regularly, so a steady escalation of issues may turn an enjoyable game into a massive frustration of community, server, balance, and mechanical issues- which is what happened to Brawlhalla, and seems to be happening with Rocket League.
Besides, it takes time to make decent cookies!
I mean, with a 15 minute recipe like that, that's around 2230 batches of cookies, but there are certainly worse things to do with your free time than bake cookies for your entire local community.

I have over 3000 hours on LoL and if i am to review it, i wouldn't recommend the current game.
Also happy cake day!

Maybe it was good before, but they turned the game into garbage with patches/bad servers. I don't know the game though.

the recipe has eggs in it. baking for only 10 minutes at 350 degrees is not enough to kill the salmonella virus. therefore steam banned your recipe in the interest of public safety.

Geeze man dont tell me not do something LOL...
The trick to making a successful carbonara? Stirring the egg mixture quickly into the pasta which should be hot enough to “cook” the egg to make a sauce but not so hot as to make it curdle. Getting it just right can take some practice so don’t despair if your sauce is a little lumpy the first time you make it.
sounds yummy!
Comment has been collapsed.
Egg is a pretty common thing to throw into pastas and soups after removing them from heat. Egg on its own, unlike within the denseness of baked good ingredients, near-immediately heats through. Likewise, as the dish involved still retains its cooking temperature at the time of mixing, the egg does cook through thoroughly.
In fact, if you try to add the egg too soon then, as your quote indicated, it tends to turn out less than ideally (due to overcooking).
Carbonara is pretty great, though. If you don't have dietary reasons to avoid eggs, cheese, and pork, then it's basically you could hope for out of a pasta dish based in the ingredients. If you're into a non-traditional, sauce-rich approach, both smokey-flavored sauces and sauces emphasizing creamyness can be great variations to the recipe.
Comment has been collapsed.
I was skeptical at first due to the raw egg but I made carbonara several times. It is easy and delicious but you gotta be make sure the egg is fresh and from a trusted source.

Why exactly posting a chocolate chips cookies recipe on a game review is against Valve's "terms of service" since there has been a lot of exploits going around on steam and hardly any of them got banned.
Instead of arguing why your got banned and not the others, I'm curious why not all of that reviews got banned :)

You think you're funny and original, but you're not. The joke was shit from day 1.
Well deserved ban, props to Valve.

Why did you spend so many hours on a game you consider bad?
Comment has been collapsed.
Many games you cannot review after one hour. Also there are more criteras. Maybe a patch destroyed the gameplay. Maybe a nerf and your favourite class is now completely useless. Maybe you are banned and now you go enrage with the review.
Comment has been collapsed.
I was asking the OP specifically. Your reply is unnecessary.
Comment has been collapsed.
Your "review" is even more egregious then. You once enjoyed the game and instead of laying out why you disliked the changes you wrote a piece of nonsense. I'm glad it was banned.
Comment has been collapsed.
the game is simply bad that it doesn't even deserve your time to do a proper review
So true, I consider this myself as an indicator of the game's quality too. When a game is flooded with very short or irrelevant/comedy negative reviews, I'm like "oh, so the game is so bad that people don't even bother to explain what they hated so much"
