HELP: Banned from all of Steam Community for posting a mod link in Panzer Corps 1 forum

[BR4ZIL]

Hello everyone, kind of a unusual thread here, but hopefully some can help me, specially Slitherine's Steam moderator folks.

Just about 2 hours ago i replied to this user here:

https://steamcommunity.com/app/268400/d ... 057290736/

(you can see his thanks reply, my actual reply was removed).

I uploaded the mod in question, Pazifik Korps by the DMP team to a mega nz link and provided to him (the mod's site died over a year ago, so its not an easy mod to find).

I think less than 15 minutes after that i got a Steam Community Permanent Ban message:



I lost all access to my friends, forum posting, etc... steam is now heavily limited to me, this was a account with almost 2000 games and over 15 years of creation.

After some reading online, i believe steam dislikes Mega nz and considers it a harmful upload site?

I already submited a ticket to steam support essentially apologizing for using mega nz and begging for an appeal. Can anyone from the slitherine staff (or userbase) provide any additional help? Not sure if a game community staff has any say withint Steam, but i am at my wit's end here and any help is appreciated!

Just wanted to update this saying that with the help of Edmon from the forums here, i was able to quickly get Steam Support to reverse the ban.

Steam is very particular with which sites you can share your mods with, be careful people!

My pleasure to help you out.

Automated steam content checking can be a bit of a nightmare...
