    You guys still havent done anything about the Moe, MiniMoe, Phantomlord, AND CSGOSHOP CASES. You guys said you werent aware last time. But its been awhile and still nothing has been done....i understand this is the norm..but you guys advertise that if the case is high profile its high priority. IS this a lie?

    Also are you going to take a stance on the gambling websites profiting tens of thousands of dollars profiting off marked scammers, or opskins also profiting from making comissions off selling items on behalf of marked scammers.

    Are you guys going to claim you were clueless like normal? OR what. Your reputation is already in shambles....comon guys you guys are pathetic. Give us a straight up answer

    You literally made a new Steam account to make this post. Come back on your actual account and maybe we can all start a dialogue with SteamRep regarding this.

    Many of the things you talk about (moe, phantom, opskins not filtering scammers) are all things which only Valve can handle, as SR can only deal with smaller individual users who rely on SR partner sites for trading.

    It's no secret that SR is outdated and unable to handle the task put out for it, for policing individual accounts. However, it's also essentially the only tool the community has, and is doing about as good as can be expected for the workload they face.

    Several people (including myself) have a variety of different projects being made to try to properly handle this, but in the end it's up to the community to not be dumb. As a certain admin's signature says: Can't fix stupid greed. SR started out handling people who abused their rep or created fake rep, and now the vast majority of scam victims are people who are gullible and inexperienced, amplified by greed making them not think things through. The vast majority of scammers are quickly created alts or cheaply bought accounts which means that even a perfect tagging system wouldn't help.
