    Hi this is my first time on this forum and i wanted to ask if anyone knows this person https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198090380218. He added me a little while ago and i haven't talked much but i'm seeing so many negative comments on his profile and i was wondering if i should just block him. i dont want to be rude to him but i'm feeling uneasy to him.

    People randomly add others all the time? If you don't feel your going to talk to this person then just delete them.

    Make a decision based on what you think of him personally.
    If you haven't talked to him, make the first approach.
    If you dislike him or don't want to make contact, ignore or remove him.

    well that's only obvious. i guess what im trying to find out is if anyone has heard of him and if i should just stay away. he hasnt been rude to me yet but according to the 245 pages of comments a vast majority (that arent random or just plain BS) are negative.

    As of last year Steam has over 125 million active users, the chances that anyone here knows this random person is pretty damn low. Hence you need to make your own judgement with the tools provided to you. The Guide section here on SR is pretty helpful for these things.

    I looked at the profile. Its just another asocial one that kicks on being a troll of some kind. Nothing special there.

    If you put the steam profile URL into http://steamrep.com in the search box, and hit search you find their SR status, and if you below that in the research tools click "Search steamrep forums" then you can find any topic on that account that has been made, either being a reporter, or being reported, or w/e. If nothing is found, we won't know much outside what you yourself can glean from the steam profile.

    There are over 350 Million steam accounts (highest active profile i could find: https://steamrep.com/search?q=76561198312200028 is 351.9 million and 3 days old), and by

    I think that it is a too high high estimate. Steam is now in existence for ~ 12 years... having 35 % active is a very high number. Dunno where that number came from, unless he found some official source for that. But Valve has always been quite closed regarding this. But anyhow, still over the vast numbers of accounts around, nobody will know some random account. You have more luck finding such on his friendslist that actually just leave some message on his profile comments then anywhere else.

    If not going that direction, then only this will be of use:

    This statistic was officially released by Valve in early 2015.

    Here is an official release from them, the last line states 125 million active accounts: http://store.steampowered.com/news/16000/
    Also an abundance of helpful graphs available simply by searching Google, one such example: https://steamdb.info/blog/valve-at-gdc-2015-recap/

    Theres lots on making a judgement on someone..."friend requests" is such a specific topic, which is why theres no guide on it.

    He always wears red T-shirts. He ONLY has red T-Shirts, and he buys them in bulk once in a while when these start getting looking bad.

    /edit: All his friends know this. And he had a birthday some while ago where they went to their regular pub, and everybody was wearing a red T-Shirt... lol

    /edit2: he told that in one of the previous videos...
