a mark on this website basically means nothing nowadays, but hopefully something can be done about this piece of s✿✿✿.

I see the witch hunt has spilled over to here as well...

What exactly does that screenshot show? I see someone with Teeird's name promising money if they throw the game, sure, but was that actually him or was it one of his many impostors?
I don't really see this going anywhere, at least not simply because of this shot. If there is some sort of investigation and something is found, great, you got him. I kinda doubt that'll happen, though.

If you give a trader a mark or a caution for trading with a scammer, how is that any different to knowingly conveying an offer that obviously breaks the law? I thought you guys were "Online Fraud Prevention" or whatever now. People in all source games look to SteamRep for this kind of information.

I'd have to agree there. My main point is there is no real identifying features in the shot other than the name. No urls, nothing to help validate it as something real.

Right, I thought SteamRep's main focus is fraud prevention and awareness. I'm not sure this falls into something SteamRep can do anything about.

We have been internally discussing this. Once we reach consensus on what would be the best course for us in this, we will act accordingly. We regularly get cases thrown to us that are out of bounds to us. Examples of such are making a banner by a graphical artist for a bud, Creating a website for money, making/creating maps for money/steam items, making a sourcemod plugin for money, and people either not delivering their payment for the maker of such, or not giving full resources on things they have made to the person that pays for it etc. The difficulty is that we are already low on resources, and cannot do every scam in the world. Also, other things come into play then that we may have no experience with in validating: voice chats, other chat programs that we cannot validate towards a steam account. Our focus is and stays on Steam, but even there we cannot do everything, and have to focus on our core rules on reports. Exceptions can be made, but that still has some other problems.
