Where do I report when a VALVe admin is incorrectly purple-nontagged on SteamRep

    I just found that henryg in the following thread:
    http://steamcommunity.com/groups/SteamClientBeta/discussions/0/494631967653425307/

    SteamID block:
    Code:

    is not set as Purple, as VALVe admins should be.

    Any reason for it or must the VALVe admin himself request a purple tag for it to appear?

    Not all Valve employees wish to be tagged, because that means random people adding them as friends, impersonations, and so on, so we made it possible for them to add or remove the tag as they wish. Given the profile you linked is has a friends-only privacy setting, it's likely he does not wish to have a Valve tag on SteamRep.

    You can identify a Valve employee by the "Valve employee" badge on their profile (if public), or by the Valve logo next to anything they post in Steam discussions. The SteamRep tag is optional for them and not all-inclusive.

    Note that if a true Valve employee specifically wants to be identified as such on SteamRep, have them PM me or one of the SR admins and we'll be happy to sort that out for them.
