Remove Awards from Reviews and Discussions, disable bbcode that enlarges texts
These are features that largely dealt damage to the quality of Reviews and Discussions on the platform. The minimal positive engagement it brought to it are not worth how ♥♥♥♥ and unbearable nearly all discussion has become due to it.

It's been so many years and no improvement has come since adding this feature. Apathists will tell you "Just stop caring bro that's how they go away" except they don't go away and the problem has become ten times worse.

Only people who create and / or moderate discussions should be allowed to enlarge texts, I.E. Moderators and OPs. Awards should be removed entirely.

It's better when they add bold to it. Just in case you couldn't already see it, make it bigger and bolder. ALL CAPS ftw as well.

OBVIOUSLY THIS IS MEANT TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY

But yes, if it's not in a guide I don't see any reason for it to be used.

Plenty of people have asked for rewards to be removed in some way before.

But I can tell you that Valve will not do it. They want people to use them on the forums to get interactions. Even with the Jester ones.

They had no issue making a Steam achievement with "Post on the discussion" that brough a decade worth of spam to the forums. To this day even after they removed the achievement years ago you can still see people trying to get it.


The awards are going to stay.
The overall engagement on Steam shot through the roof with awards. That type of thing is hard to get rid of.
