Lifting the ban and i dont think it is AI moderating..Completed!
I was asking them a question about recruiting and where to do it on steam for my group because it says 'do it in the appropriate hub' but i want to be doubly 100% sure so I was asking them directly.

This is the ban notification at top of the screen.
You have been banned from the Steam Hub until 12 Apr @ 6:24pm.
You were banned by a member of Steam Support.
Reason: "This post intended to recruit other Steam users and is considered an advertisement. This post has been removed. Please redirect your recruitment efforts to the appropriate hub or Discussion."

Your help request: I have a question about a Steam Discussion ban
Related to: Steam

That is not what I was asking though.

In the post it clearly states a question that is asking for help on where to go in future.

you have not read what is written as is regular occurrence with the moderators / support here.

I will repeat the question for clarity :

Please can you tell me where the appropriate hub or topic is regarding recruitment / advertising for reviewers ?

and here is a separate one i sent just in case the moderators were not going to read it correctly and yeah...

Hi,
I started a group and want to advertise for more people to write reviews.

I got banned for a day for asking people to join.
I was told I should have gone to the appropriate hub or topic to advertise.

Can you tell me or provide the link on where to advertise for other reviewers ?

Message from Steam Support on Apr 12 @ 1:43am | 11 hours ago
It looks like this help request is a duplicate of another that you submitted.

We will continue to work with you through your main request: referencenumberedited

and onto the main request again :

Again for clarity I am asking a question nothing more.

I shall repeat the question.

Please can you tell me where the appropriate hub or topic is regarding recruitment / advertising for reviewers ?


end of copy pasta

The reply to this was about lifting the ban as it was excessive i cant copy and paste it because they delete them after you read them. So I got the ban lifted little bit earlier than it would have expired so that was nice.

I thanked them for there generosity on lifting the ban and repeated the question on where to recruit reviewers.

Awaiting the reply.

So they got back and answered finally, they had a meeting about it and said for game specifics then you go to the game hub itself.
In my case it was too unique for a game hub and the original topic was removed by mistake.

Hoorah for the Moderators and Support!

This place is legitimately in absolute shambles. The rot goes so deep.

Is this a moderator?

The guy responded to my help with a link of something making fun of reading ability and I jokingly said 'well you can get "word" then :p ' and this was reported as being disrespectful.

"word" was a swear word.

You should have called them a "spoiled toddler", because apparently that is not disrespectful according to moderation...

Updated the original post.

Moderators / Steam Support got back and they said if its a gaming specific group then you go to that games hub and there are sometimes sub forums for the groups or if not you just post on their main forum.

In my case because it was very specific a hub does not exist so I was right to post in off topic!

Hoorah, if I had a hat I would throw it in the air.
