I had a person tell me in game they hate black people, then left a comment on my profile referring to black people as black monkeys. I reported them. About five times. Steam does nothing. Their comment would be still up if I haven't removed it manually after one of many reports resulting in nothing. Their profile is full of proof of it being a long term continuous effort. Their account has a high level, which makes me think it may be why Steam seems to be protecting them. I reported people in the past and stuff was done about it. It's my first time dealing with blatant racism AND no moderation effort from Steam. I even ended up messaging steam support about my concerns and got a generic response which amounted to nothing.

I see people speaking up about poor moderation on other platforms, so I chose to speak up about Steam's as I'm really tired of this bullshit.

    I really like wholesome comments from cool people I've interacted with and I don't mind seeing bigotry if I can use it as proof to get bigots banned from coms so someone more vulnerable won't have to see it. I do mind if it's allowed by the platform choosing not to do anything about it though.
