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.

    Cool, who is that person? Can you link their steam profile here? Perhaps someone from Valve may see your comment and the person will be banned. Otherwise why are you protecting that persons anonymity?

        No, please no witch-hunts.

        witch hunts are where you hold horrific racists publicly accountable, and the more you hold them accountable, the more witch-hunty it is up-yours-woke-moralists

            they will just get abuse from random strangers

            i mean that seems appropriate considering they're going around abusing random strangers, doesn't it?

            Just report and move on. It sucks but nothing we could do would help anyways,

              Also that lib was full of shit. Steam has never actually banned racists, no matter how many times they're reported.
