I have to admit; I'm slightly salty at Valve (not Larian) moderating on steam forums:
Someone has made a thread bashing the LGBTQ+ community (again) and I got incredibly frustrated and fired back. I should not have, but these threads seem to crop up once an hour.
Result?
I was insta-banned for 24 hours for a first offense. No prior warnings. No prior bans.
The person who made the thread, who I had reported 15+ posts from him alone insulting, belittling, and attacking the LGBTQ+ community? Untouched more than 12 hours later.
Other people defending the LGBTQ+ community in said thread were ALSO banned, while at least 5 people attacking transgender and gay people are, still, untouched.
It really feels like Valve mods pick & choose what reports they action, and unfairly protect those slamming the LGBTQ+ community.
I understand Larian can do nothing, the mods here can't do anything, and any Larian mods for the steam forums are pretty much fighting an uphill battle. But I had to say something because I am incredibly angry at Valve and venting here is on-topic.
As I mentioned, steam / valves's values are aligned more with pleasing the Russian and Chinese markets, they don't really care much for anything LGBT and ban people for such comments even in the communities of LBGT games.
