help plz

So I filed a report for my friend who does not know how to, http://forums.steamrep.com/threads/76561198000275734-holy-cat.25110/#post-76735 , and it gets archived, reason being 'no 3rd party reports'. What does that mean? If it means no reporting for friends, well, already done that, and it wasn't rejected.

It means dont report on the behalf of another. Have the person that got scammed post a report.

But I have once before

policies evolve. there is a reason why your friend needs to login and verify this report. if he cant be bothered to log in for a sec and vouch to your report then how can they follow up and confirm the details?

we have guides up for pretty much everything. We need to be able to ask for additional evidence when needed. some evidence can only be viewed by the victim (trade history, paypal history etc).

I usually ask the victim for that info

Lets put it this way, we encounter at times falsified information (photoshopped, etc). If we would encounter that in this way, who would we need to tag? the "reporter"? the "victim"? How we know the "victim" is really victim, or victimized by a fake report?

Put up a report, let him sign on, and reply to the thread confirming (as said earlier here), then it can be processed.
