Help with Steam help?
So i asked this and put the guys profile for help and i got reported for naming and shaming.
My issue is i played a game with a player and he was abusive and about 16yo.
I muted reported. Played my game.
Now this player has taken my name and profile avatar and my prev names and even joined a very 2010 or 13 thing i was apart of he is puting abusive things in my old forum and anywhere he can in the new fake profile of me this cant be allowed?
Because ive reported him once for the game i cant report him for what his doing wrong now.
His having the time of his life impersonating me.

Report the profile for impersonation via the report dropdown on the profile page.

There must be more to the story because just reporting a profile would not get you reported. Have you posted about this on Steam this include game reviews, screenshot comments, game discussions, profiles, etc.? If yes that is where you broke the rules. If you have an issue with another Steam user, you report them but do not interact with them on Steam.

Steam profiles are unique. The URL is u ique, the ID is unique. My point is, it takes an idiot to take them for you.

As for "my old forum", ban the player there. If it's your forum, you can ban.

I put a link for people or admin to check that he was copying mine but it was classed as naming and shaming i"Cant" report this guy again the 1st time it was in game his about 15 toxic and i reported him like 3rd round now his copyed my profile and joined a old group and posting toxic stuff saying ive passed away and complete trolling me on any place he can in Screen shots and even posted his toxic post as a screen shot in the profile screen shots of him saying im passed away just go look at my profile and you can see it i left the oldest group i was apart of [FR] to avoid his toxic behaviour

He didn't.

He was saying that the impersonator isn't fooling anyone who checks the profile carefully. Only idiots will fell for it. not directing it at you.

Impersonation can be reported on the profile options, a manual report sent into Support may also be effective albeit support is more for payment/account related issues.

I cant do it and i couldnt report them any other way i checked. It might need a fix but im sure this does not happen alot.
Maybe if you guys had a look and seen that he is copying my profile and being rude you could put a report in?
Thanks for all the replys trying to help guys.

Why can't you report them on their profile page?

No, we can not "put a report in" as we are not involved.

Also stop harassing that user on their profile page. That is not the right way to deal with this situation.

Report, block and move on.

LiL I think i explained it at the start of the post but if i was not clear The player was verbal abusing me so i report and mute Moved on like you say but and ive had things like this before His now impersonating and attacking me over steam profiles and pictures and ive tried to report him but it says that ive already reported this player but its 2 separate things and i cant stop this his telling people in steam that ive died and posting it as as a screen shot in his profile its nothing but a troll and for 3 days straight ive had to deal with it over different places.
So by putting this up ive asked for help and shown a issue of 2 different things a person has done but i can only report once and then they can be toxic in other places.

Then report that screenshot and open a support ticket as suggested by Leonardo Da Pinchi.

Asking random people to report that account will not help your case. Stop engaging with that user (this also goes for your friends).

We can not verify any of what you said, by the way.

U can you could look at previous names that ive used and the lack of names for for him pretending to me it has all the names on names list on profile you can look at anyones previous names a admin could see when they joined the FR forums and when i left after being in it since it opened you could look at my profile and see the guy with the name Dragon /aka tank or whatever he is doing and follow all that his said on any picture on his profile. But that would be for a admin to do right?
