Rude people on Steam

"Kill Yourself" is generally a massive rule violation on most websites. If you've reported it already, just sit back and wait. Might take them a little time to get to it.

I resent the fact that there are people out there who are like "it's the internet, grow a thicker skin." It's not even about YOU getting that message, you'll be fine. It's about the person they might say it to who is already in a very dark place. Real people are on the other end of that vitriol and no one really knows the current mental state of a complete stranger. The people spewing hateful messages for no reason are the ones who need to grow to heck up. =)

Then again... the person who did that is probably a few biscuits short of a packet. My parents were in Aldi some time ago and there is this guy on front of them in the queue. The cashier told him he didn't have enough. The next guy, an elderly man, in the queue says jokingly "ha, you'll have to dig a little deeper." The guy turns around and says "f*ck off and mind your own business. It's none of your effing business what is in my pocket. You know what you'll do. Go home drink poison and commit suicide." The old man was shaken up. He was only joking. To top it all off, it happened during a time when everyone was in the strictest lockdown, only allowed out to buy food or get medicine. Everyone was asking the old man if he was okay because it was friggen awful. Maybe the guy on Steam is like that person... a bit...off.

I'm trying to learn how to not let these people bother me as well. I mean, what kind of person tells another to kill themselves? I admit to being somewhat emotionally fragile. But that would mess with me.

I never understand people that start getting angry about hobbies of other people...

Sure, I am a human being, there are plenty of things I dislike. But what I do, it's just ignore and move on. To waste my own time insulting somebody and WISHING DEATH!... Seriously.

Anyway, just report - block - Forget about it.

i get comments like kill urself quite frequently on steam also. dont know why people actively search for profiles to write stuff like that

Just another CS:GO punk acting out in general frustration.

Report - Block all Communication - Delete post... and go on being yourself 😃👍

Här får du lite extra pannkakor som tröst...

This kind of behaviour exists everywhere it seems, including here. You are aware of the options and have heard the PROS and CONS. All I can add is that you are not alone. It certainly isn't personal to you.

I was going to write a message of support, but my colleagues wrote a lot of great things and I don't have much more to add, but... sometimes it can be hard to "let go" an attack made for no reason by a troll. Messages like 'kys' just make it clear that this person needs a lot of help, and this is really sad. : /

Just bys. : )

According to estimates 10% of a given population are psychically unstable. I wouldn't wonder if this figure is even higher on Steam. Relying on support or moderation doing anything about a specific issue might be a lost hope.

I think the tried-and-true "don't feed the trolls" strategy is called for. Point and laugh, report, delete messages, move on. That stuff isn't worthy of your time.

Others have probably already mentioned it, but one of the first things I disabled were profile comments when I started getting some community interaction. And more recently, marking my game reviews so that they can't be commented on. People can hate, but most of the time it's unnecessary, and only causes conflict.

I sometimes get carried away especially on here with comments - it doesn't start off hateful, but only takes one person to misunderstand or take offence (especially happens when someone else replies to the discussion with some left-field comment not directly part of it all).

i have met maybe a handful of people in the time i have been on steam that weren't complete douche canoes, i highly doubt steam will do anything

reporting is the right thing to do.
but don't expect quick results. last time i reported something i almost forgot what it was when i got some notification about them taking action against that person a few months later.

generally speaking: the internet is a mirror of the real world with assholes and idiots all over the place.
just don't care about these folks. delete their shit, add them to your ignore / block list and never bother with them again in your whole life.

also there is no need to disable comments and stuff just because of some muppets. i met quite a few nice people this way and it all started with a comment here or there.

Imagine what the world would be like if people who are in pain would just learn how to deal with their feelings instead of doing that sort of thing.
Oh well. Guess we'll never find out but it's worth dreaming about, right?

I, for one, fully support the "Poop Container".

Jokes aside, I've dealt with more than a few shitty (no pun intended) people online in the past, and eventually I grew to just not spend too much energy on them - report, block, move on. On huge platforms like Steam, you're bound to come across some very mean people. Sorry to hear this happened to you.

I won't pretend it's just something you can "ignore" or that you need "tougher skin" as many will tend to imply, which in my opinion just feeds this toxicity within online communities, where you're expected to "bear it" and do the same to others. Hurtful comments are, well, hurtful, and as much as it sucks and you can try not to let it get under your skin, in the end the only thing you can really do is report and move on, else you're spending your energy on someone who definitely doesn't deserve the attention.

a couple years ago someone insulted me in a comment for not accepting his trade offer, I reported the comment and after 2 months I got a notification from steam that they have removed the comment.

It's definitely a problem with the person who posted the nasty comments. It can suck to be at the receiving end of verbal abuse, just don't give in to it! My view is that people always feel better when they can truly express themselves - and unfortunately when someone is getting treated poorly & is too afraid to fight back, it makes them feel better by taking it out on other people ("Someone made you feel belittled and worthless? Obviously it's okay for people to do that, because they did it to you - now you get to go out and do it to other people to stop feeling so helpless." The feeling is like a virus, it keeps replicating until it hits someone who's immune.)

Typical no lifers who dont have anything better to do . Try to report them , delete their comments , block them , and don't be impacted by their words .

I don't know what you have in those community workshop posts but I don't think it calls for any d3ath threats.. seems like people with some anger issues and/or trolls. Either way, still uncalled for and worthy of reporting+block. Maybe in a bit (or very late lol) you will get an update from Steam. I've reported some people too before and surprisingly they do give a notification about it later
