Classifying a negative review as account restriction?

Below each Steam rating are Yes (cool), No (dismissive), Funny, and Award buttons. Anyone who has yet rated user reviews on Steam with these no-critics buttons should be warned by this status report: Based on a review on the online multiplayer title’s Steam page the fighter Steam user account “FREEDOMS117” has been severely restricted after Sentry Anti-Cheat used in the game was described as “suspicious” in its review. He further claimed that “[Sentry Anti-Cheat] Works even when the game is closed, including tray icons [und] It appears that some data packets are being sent to Japanese IP addresses while the game is actually closed.”

FREEDOMS117 also offers its own tips for uninstalling anti-cheat software, including changes to the Windows registry, in our Steam review. If you sort the reviews of this game by the Austrian manufacturer Plaion according to the “most helpful” criterion, then here comes one review with 2,439 likes and several “award” marks in the first place.

However, this review According to PC Gamers It has been inaccessible since mid-April because the text was “blocked by a Steam moderator for violating Steam’s terms of service”. Just via direct link FREEDOM17’s review is still available, but the original text is completely missing.

The community features of a FREEDOM17 user account have been completely restricted for 30 days, making it impossible for them to write more reviews, post to forums, or respond to other reviews. But other Steam users who marked this review as helpful have also been banned from rating other reviews for 30 days.

However, Steam support has changed I mentioned again in this case And it creates clarity regarding the procedure, which is completely incomprehensible at first glance:

Our moderators are very careful about content that describes how to cheat or how to manipulate anti-cheat systems. I agree with your assessment that this post does not meet these criteria. In addition, the mod indicated that this post could be dangerous for others rated player because some The steps require a registry change.”

Plaion, the developer of Warlander, has its own property support document He noted that “there is a bug where the Sentry app does not remove the icon in the system tray when Sentry Anti-Cheat system tray is closed, thus the icon remains and appears as if the Sentry app is still running”. There is also the manufacturer’s guide for uninstalling the anti-cheat software.
