My upload of Sonic 2 Long Version also got banned. There's an automatic ban in place so maybe someone is running around mass-flagging things?

Why do I suspect it's a band of Pirates trying to get revenge for their roms being removed?

My Hack for Sonic 1 No Shades Edition was also banned for no reason

Two of my Chill Editions have been taken down. This has to be some sort of failure of an auto sweep because if my Chill Editions violated Steam's TOS (they don't) then they'd all be taken down. I'll ask my contact what's up. Worst case, the Workshop isn't that popular so I can reupload them in a few days. :)

Update: All 27 of my mods have been banned. I doubt all of them were mass flagged (some had under 100 subscribers) so I'm guessing Steam is rolling back the Workshop entirely? Regardless, I'm working on converting them all to IPS patches right now so they can live elsewhere. I JUST finished another Chill Edition today after two months, this is terrible!

That's what I plan on doing. Over halfway done making the IPS patches. Should have made them as I went along; tracking down the exact ROM versions I used is getting tricky.

My own mod, Socket the Hedgeduck, was also banned today due to "violating the Steam TOS". What is going on?

My mod Shadow 3 and Mephiles was was removed too. Granted it was kinda lame compared to most modern Sonic ROM hacks but still...

Even if some of the content is "lame" and you don't care for the file getting back online, I would suggest everyone affected at least try and fight the false/mistaken bans with a dispute support ticket. It's all you can really do at the moment.

The ban is a strike against your Steam account. Get too many bans (real or mistaken it doesn't matter) and *POOF!* there goes your Steam account.

I must say Sega are working with Valve to restore banned content, from what I read on PCGamer.

I was able to get my legit mod unbanned after submitting a support ticket. Just explain the situation/ask nicely and during a reasonable hour (in order to get a human response) and you should get the item unbanned.

It was Candra Software who did all the mass flagging, I swear! I saw it with my own eyes!

SHE WOULD NEVER DO THAT! SHE WOULD NEVER FLAG LEGIT HACKS! SHE WOULD ONLY FLAG ILLEGAL FULL-ON COPIES!

Can someone do us a favor and re-upload Somari the Adventurer and Mobius Evolution?

Funny. I can still find Sonic 3K Complete and Sonic Classic Heroes,Metal Sonic Hyperdrive. I've never seen the other 3 though. Has there been an answer to this lame riddle yet?

Really wish Zombies Ate My Neighbors was back on here. The game is not for sale on steam.
