Why do you think anyone from here can help you? Just contact Steam Support and ask them about the problem and a solution.

Maybe it has something to do with " S-team A-dministration or Community admin" from you aliases?

It didn't got hacked. You were probably smart enough to put your user name and password where they didn't belong in your neverending quest to finally win all those "free Steam games" the links have been telling you about.

My guess is you scammed some people. Thus your account gotten the red flag from Steam.

He is part of a bunch of 4chan groups... And while 4chan isn't all bad.. they do attract a lot of bad cookies.

Yeah, your alias history looks real legit.

"Community admin"
"S-team A-dministration"

The only reason to use such names is to scam or cheat, so it seems easy to me.

Also is part of a bunch of 4chan groups. Not saying they are all bad.. but a lot of 4chan people are not good people. (Rather the type of ones that would join the 4chan groups he is in)

No... if you were a scammer, your account would be restricted from buying games, activating gifts and keys, trading, etc.

Which, coincidentally, is exactly what happened to your account.

Then you need to contact Steam support. No one here has any idea about the facts of your case, or the power to do anything to fix it.

By the way, just out of curiosity, when did you get hacked, and when did you get the account back?

I am trying to be the nice guy and help him.. if what he is saying is true... To be honest.. he doesn't sound like he is lying.

He is far too stupid to be lying.

From what it sounds like the steam support nick name was for shits and giggles probably some thread on 4chan. .but that isn't what got him flagged as that was awhile ago.

He has super poor computer security. They were able to get past steam guard on his account. (Most likely used the same password on his email and his steam account).

If for some reason he is just the dumb guy that would delete his system 32 on his dad's work laptop on 4chan.... he could have easily picked up a keylogger.

To be honest I don't care that much what happens to him but in the end what we think matters not.. if steam thinks he wasn't lying then he will get his account cleared..

But if he does do that.. he most likely has a keylogger on his computer so he would just be "hacked" again.

The one time I have delt with someone getting "hacked" on a service I got the account back within 24 hours.. It wasn't my account nor my computer.. (it was my mom's) It is fairly easy to get your account back on services unless they manage to change the secret questions.. and even then there are other ways to prove the account is yours.

He never said he had those nicknames because of a 4chan thread.

The one thing you should know about people is that they lie.. or don't tell the whole truths.

He said to me when he friended me a min ago to talk that he got it from a youtube video.

I could see that being a youtube video on 4chan or something if you know the 4chan community it wouldn't be much a stretch for people to go "Lol yeah you should use that account nick it would make you cool."

Like I said, he never said it was because 4chan, it was only your assumption.

ITT person OP is either a liar and should be stoned publicly or not the sharpest tool in the shed with his computer security. I try to see if I could help him for shits and giggles because I have nothing to loose and people think I have some ties to him. No, no I don't.. but I like helping people if I can... and I always hope that people are just stupid instead of liar.

But seriously if you are not lying, nothing here will help you. Steam support will be able to help you.. and they will be able to tell if you are lying (it is pretty easy to see if someone else besides you accessed your account)

It is kind of funny how people do that. For all we know he could just be an idiot.

Anyways I am going to sleep.. I don't expect to ever know what comes of this.. (On /r/steam a steam support person sometimes calls people out when they are lying it is hilarious.)
