Valve implement new Steam policy to suppress spam

Steam

If you’re a legit PC gamer, you no doubt have a Steam account loaded with a ton of games. You’ve likely received many random friend requests here and there too, some of which are from people who are looking to hijack your account and access all the goodies that come with it. Steam’s latest policy should hopefully prevent that from happening anymore, or at least cut down on it drastically.

The new policy will restrict you from many of Steam’s features, unless you have a minimum of $5 worth of games in your library, or $5 in your Steam wallet. Here’s what you’ll be prevented from doing should you not meet the above requirements (via PC Gamer):

  • Sending friend invites
  • Opening group chat
  • Voting on Greenlight, Steam Reviews and Workshop items
  • Participating in the Steam Market
  • Posting frequently in the Steam Discussions
  • Gaining Steam Profile Levels (Locked to level 0) and Trading Cards
  • Submitting content on the Steam Workshop
  • Posting in an item’s Steam Workshop Discussions
  • Accessing the Steam Web API
  • Using browser and mobile chat

Oddly enough, activating a retail copy of a game on Steam will not count. So if you, for example, only have a Steam account because you bought something like Half-Life 2 back in the day, you will not be able to do any of the above. Thankfully, there are no restrictions when it comes to playing a game, so if you’re one of those people, you can continue to live out your dreams as a mute scientist who has a thing for crowbars.

This change will make a world of difference. The entry fee of $5 may be small, but it will hopefully go a long way in curbing the sort of spam and phishing that has plagued Steam for years.

        Nope I pretty much got it. Restrictions and $5 = Steam.

        Retail is not part of Steam but it is a Steam extension. I still say Steam needs to fuck off from retail.

            Couldn’t just allow me to make a comment. You had to go and turn my comment into shit. I don’t think I have ever done that to any of your comments.

            All the things that you making me out to be, that’s on you, not me. Ahh fuck it. not worth it. I don’t even think I am speaking to a person. Speaking to some internet asshole with a internet plug stuck up his ass that leads to Steam where he gets all his commands from that he has to pay for.

    I think I get at least two to three funky friend requests a week from level 0 accounts. For some reason they always want to trade items plz. And by trade I mean steal. And by items I mean my bank account details.

    I’m glad Steam put so much effort into making my life easier and hassle free.

            To be fair, we’re all apes. If, you know, you adhere to reality, in any small measure. Which you don’t. So *panda shit works better. I’m with @Lord_Chaos_404:disqus on this one.

            I give up because you boring as fuck. random shit to prove nothing. clearly you upset. but you still boring the shit out of me. I can’t spend the time to fucking talk shit to you. shit talk seems to be your thing. funny how you use shit talk to make it seem like i am shit but you just doing this random shit. ya. boring shit.

            anyway. you have just proved what i have been talking about for some time now. how people like you troll my comments and turns them to shit. look how you can’t let anything go. you not even talking about my comment anymore. features behind a paid wall. you just talking random shit. making me out to be a shit. i’m stupid, i’m dumb, i’m what ever the fuck you want to add there to prove your random shit is working.

            this is me letting go. Jesus dude. I don’t turn anyone’s comments to shit like this. No-ones. Not even with my DRM shit, do I turn people’s comments to shit. But you felt the need to do it to me.

            it’s funny how I am called a troll but just look at how my comments gets trolled. If no1 trolled my comments, my comment would have just stuck there among the other awesome comments. But people make my comments a big deal on here. Just look how my comments get trolled. But I’m the troll. I don’t seek anyone’s attention. But i’m the troll. lol.

            I “expact” you to do nothing but be yourself. Rising to my standards is really never going to happen. And we’re okay with this. As long as you announce your entry first so everyone can put on their Hazmat suits.

            Remember kids, safety first! Or you’ll catch the Ryanza-1 plague. And for some reason you’ll lose logic. Forever.

    its sorta legit, spam accounts need to have money on them to steal, phish and scam you.
    or you could just not accept invites from anyone whos profiles are private or if you dont know the steam name.
    the number of invites ive had in the past month or so is ridiculous.

    Yeah I am tired of the constant flood of level0/1 invites I am getting. I’d play a game for a couple of hours and once I quit steam shows that I have something like 5 invites. It’s tiresome.
