Ask A SteamRep Staff Member

The Steam log in seems broken. I am trying to view the account history of a steam profile, which requires a steam login. no matter how many times i authenticate with steam, it still doesnt login, and wont let me view account history because it requires steam.

Seems to be working on my end. Have you tried clearing cookies/etc?

Also check https://steamstat.us/ to see if the Steam API itself is down.

Update looks like it was just my steam profile being private. good thing i tested.

How do I prove I'm not an alt account from a banned account?

Yes, but they asked for ME to prove that I am not an alt account. and they need evidence of this. But my question is what type of evidence do you want and how do I prove this to you. I'm really trying but I just don't know what to do. I've made an appeal in 2017 and I've been waiting for a long time. but yet I still don't know how you want me to prove I'm not an alt account.

ok so after filing a report with evidence on the trust section of a backpack.tf acc what do i do to get them steamrep banned and whcih ones do i notify steamrep of (ex: phishing scams or duped item scams?)

from what im understanding I HAVE to be scammed in order to report some shady account properly?

Im not gonna lose my items just so some alt account gets flagged as suspicious.

thats all I wanted, the profile I reported has obviously manipulated steam comments (5+ comments a day since 2019)

and he removed me the INSTANT I brought that fact up to him. he's obviously shady,
and I guess to have more evidence I should've waited till he started doing scamming tactics? or until I lost my inventory to report him?
Unless I missed a place to report people for being suspicious and not for visibly scamming, im stumped on the report system here..

I just found more evidence, the account has 5000 hours in team fortress 2, yet only 1 year of service, I don't want to spam the forums or make another report since it seems you only take only the concrete proof.
just refer to
Report:

Hidden Content:

**Hidden Content: Content of this hidden block can only be seen by members of (usergroups: Administrative, Moderating).**

and actually examine the profile, and you'll find alot of discrepancies.

more evidence, cant edit my posts im sorry for spamming jeez.

Hello, I have a question for the staff and in regards, I'm sorry if this has already been answered. (I don't want to endlessly read through 70+ pages)

There is a user that has about roughly 18+ reports about sending phishing links/websites to people. This user also has 115 negative rep on backpack.tf. Now I understand that you guy's don't deal with reports like these and will tell users to report them to Valve. (I won't mention the user based on assuming it would get removed)

So with 18 reports on steamrep & 115 negative rep due to people getting sent phishing links. Why wouldn't you guys at least mark him with a scammer/caution tag?

Because at least when I think about it. It could dampen the flow of people reporting this user due to all of the reports you guys get. I also could be wrong and they could still send reports regardless if the user is marked on steamrep.

Cause we all know Valve doesn't really give a crap about reporting people since there are many people on steam who do this. (I might be a hypocrite when I say this but I've reported the user multiple times over the past months and have given proof to Valve with screenshots and still nothing has been done)

Thank you.

Hello,

Q: On my SteamRep profile, I see that I have 1 banned friend, how do i learn who that individual is so that I may remove them from my steam friends list? See attached image

Make your steam friend's list public, then access your steamrep profile again.

Thanks! I didn't even realize I had it on private.

Hello
What report type should I check for an item verification scam? It involved 2 people and one was posing as a steam admin, I'm not sure if that counts as rep fraud or not

The first person was a "sorry I reported you" but their profile was normal, while the second guy had a flashy profile with external links including a dodgy trading website and stuff all about how he was a steam admin. The second guy also went all the way through to sending me a trade offer (from a weird "database" account) for all my stuff, to check it was clean. Is all this enough to assume the account is hijacked, or is there still reasonable doubt?
