I posted and shared this article on the War Thunder steam forurm.
came back the next day, the post was gone.
So i posted it again with the comment that my previous post disappeared and I don't know why. I wrote it off as a steam forum bug.
A minute later it was gone.

then I asked why are my posts disappearing when I referred to this article?

I then get banned for "contesting a moderator".

contesting what?

That article I think ruffled the feathers of those Gaijin moderators.

I appealed to steam after a steam moderator then gave me a global ban. For a ban by a developer who even steam support said makes their own rules.


It is crazy that Gaijin acts like they own the forums in steam and valve turns a blind eye to that. Its valve's platform and yet they are ok to let Gaijin make up thier own rules punishments to a user that affects them on all of steams community.

In short, that article hits the nail on the head.

Gaijin and Valve both benefit from the predatory tactics discussed in this article and they tried to silently hide my posts. And when I called them out for disregarding thier own rules to silence something they didn't 'like' they banned me.
