Bump I suppose

I never got my steam gift revoked so I'm curious. Will my account get suspended if my activated game got revoked?

No, just email support if your copy gets revoked and they should restore your items.

The thing is while most do, alot of people don't. We know this because we trade often. They shouldn't settle with "should be enough" since that's never enough. While yes the trader should know a scammer right away, the fact that that scammer is even allowed to stay on and keep his trade up is fairly disappointing. OP shouldn't just allow that scammer to keep promoting and trading. Certain parts of OP is fairly outdated, can't hurt to update a bit. Even a little notice can go a long way. Just seems a little as if they do overlook it. More can be done.

Seems more and more of these are popping up, and are WAY too often overlooked. Too many games are being listed that are obviously a scammer, and yet are just left open. While it's easy to spot a scammer for most people who trade often, for others that don't, it is a terrible situation. Sometimes made worse by the fact that many people who are established are buying games from the scammer for low, then reselling the game for a profit. Effectively continuing the cycle over and over again.

Reporting people doesn't do much half the time since it's hard for mods to monitor everything and OP mods unfortunately really can't do much until after the fact. As well, I understand that mods/admins have other things to do so they can't fix everything. Hate to turn this into some suggestion topic, but that's not really my intention. It just seems, to me at least, that OP is somewhat overlooking this situation. Does anybody else feel that? Just wish that maybe there's another way.

-Maybe some sort of new rep system like steamtrades has in place with the +/- with comments, I know before it was spammed, but something more can be done. Seems the current heart isn't too established and usually ignored. Also maybe a consistent NOTICE up top of each game trade saying to beware of scammers and revokers.

-Some sort of "probationary period" to make it so someone who just newly joined OP can't list and trade games until a certain time period. Or a "system" where you can't list a game for trade unless that user has ~25games+ on the account. The easiest way to spot someone who may be selling revoked games.


Anyone else really wish more can be done? Not just with the OP mods, but on the whole OP community. I do personally go out of my way to warn others and call out possible scamming trades, and alot of others do too, so hopefully people all over have no issues in getting together. Revoke scammers have always been out there, now just seems so much more prevalent these days it's a shame. Just really want to know what is, if anything, is being done currently to deter the scams. Any other ideas or thoughts? Agree, disagree? Thanks and GL guys... Hope all goes well into OPs future.
