It’s about reviews, not forums, which devs have no control over

Moderate your own forum, honestly its kinda based of Valve to be as hands off as they are. You set your own guidelines rather than having Valve force their own on you. It makes sense too given the variety of games on Steam.

They list both, and the developers have direct control over the forum. Less over reviews but you can report them if they are inappropriate.

you can report them if they are inappropriate.
Which is what the entire article is about, reports being ineffective…

Its not, its about Valve not proactively moderating for the devs.

Yeah but what good is reporting when Valve themselves takes what feels like an eternity, getting down to dealing with just a few?
Eventually, they’re going to be faced with making one of two choices; Shut down the discussions board to a particular game for violating ToS or let it go unchecked for however long.

Talking about my own experience here; there are rules (ToS) which people break and then Valve ignore. Hands off is one thing but being totally nonchalant about these blatant, hate filled transgressions is another all together.
