VALVE ADDS MORE LINKS TO THE FILTER
STARTS DISPLAYING {LINK REMOVED}

AT THIS POINT WE'RE ASSUMING A WHITE LIST FILTER FOR ONLY A FEW ALLOWED LINKS
>>284634325
why is red eat banned? Doesnt gabe browse that site?
this is only for people who have been posting filtered links in the past, my friend can't even send me imgur links anymore, because he sent me a bunch of filtered links to torrent sites a month or so ago, he can't even send me links to Steams own website, literally every link is removed
If I send him the same links they show up just fine
>>284634325
>NEW LINKS BANNED:
>reddit.com
I like it.
>>284634569
>tfw i saw this thread last week so i tried the banned links with a friend
>neither of us can send links anymore
Like what the fuck can I do now, this is fucked.
So what is the purpose of blocking links? It's not like you can receive links from random people without being on their friend list. To an extent, I could see why they'd do kickass, but what makes the others harmful?
>>284635337
Valve being nazis
>>284635337
because the retarded fucking children playing games like csgo and tf2 are getting scammed left and right by shitty bait links and its working and this is what steams solution is
kids ruin everything
>>284635337
Because they're protecting the retards who add scammers to their friend lists, then click the links they get from them.
And even then, you can still circumvent this with (dot) and (slash).
>PCGamer
What? is there a reason for that or is it just bullshit url filters?
>>284635738
just bullshit url filters
>"How do we stop scammers?"
>"BAN LINKS"
>later
>"go to TxOxTxAxLxLxYxLxExGxIxT/////.c0m remove slashes and x's to get all of the games"
>"THANK YOU RANDOM PERSON-SAMA I WILL GIVE YOU MY SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER"
one of my friends can't even send steam page links
this
>http://store.steampowered.com/app/346060/
shows as
>{LINK REMOVED}
but I can still send links with no problem, like 4chan links for exemple
>>284635468
oh shit it's the one actress from the movie, I like her work

some more proof
>>284636745
nice meme
>>284636745
Well i'll be, it's true.
I call bs, I just sent a 4chan link and it wasn't censored.
UPDATE:
What's happening is actually a shadowban. If you send blacklisted links, you ACTUALLY get banned from sending links. I can still send some links that I assume are whitelisted, but everything else just gets deleted.
>>284637247
>4chan calls out reddit for shadow banning
>when valve does it they turn a blind eye
FUCKING SERIOUSLY?
valvedrones are fucking disgusting
>>284636745
>put a .com on it cuck
>cuck
this word has been ruined, it's meaningless now
>>284637247
Source on that? Mostly to show a friend.
I can send 4chan links to my friends just fine.
>>284637447
>not wanting to ruin anti white terms so they are little more than insults
>>284637505
Just experience. I sent a lot of links when it was first discovered that Steam was filtering links, which is probably why I'm banned now.
>>284637505
The source is it's fucking happening. If you have sent banned links before, you are blocked, if you haven't you're fine. No warning, no nothing, you just can't send links except like youtube.com and other kiddy shit.
>>284635337
because of the scam bots spam them and retards click them
all this because retards are dumb enough to click those shitty bait links. nice going "master race"
>>284637247
I think that's bullshit, but that might be possible, the only time I sent a hack link was when i copy and pasted what a hacker said and showed my friend. This makes zero sense since I'm sure other people have done the same, and what is a banned link exactly? My friend who I showed him the chatlog with the hacker also at one pointed showed me a comment left on his page yet he can still send links, so I'm calling bullshit on that.
>>284637976
>only once
Try sending kickass.to several times to someone and then wait a bit and see what happens.
Great, now how do I exchange cock pictures with cute guys?
>>284638243
I sent one of those as well as google docs links too when me and a friend were testing it out, if that warrants this then valve are out of their fucking minds.
>>284638249
Take it from Steam to e-mail, GMail, Skype or instant messaging,
>>284637365
Who is turning a blind eye? Everyone is blowing up at it and NOONE is happy about it.. You're fucking retarded.
>>284638595
Ugh, that's no fun. Then I have to tab out of my games.
>>284638386
It seems Google Drive was removed from the blacklist, and possibly Docs as well after Valve realized how much bullshit that was.
>>284638249
Tox.
>>284638758
tough shit
>>284638854
>Tox.
All I've heard about that is that pedophiles like to use it.
>>284638982
They tend to flock to things that don't spy on you.
>>284638982
Pedophiles use 4chan as well, hasn't stoped you has it?
pedophiles are just people and can use anything.
>>284634325
A white list filter would make sense due to that .scr virus
http://steamcommunity.com/discussions/forum/1/611696927908823285/
Steam Community thread on it.
>>284639125
Pedophiles use your mom's cunt too what's your point
>>284636510
what movie
See? As we had previously said, this isn't a vendetta against KAT or TPB or whatever, they're gradually blocking all links to reduce phishing attmepts.
>have to be above level 9 to post links
So they're making people newer to steam buy cards to send links now?
>see this
>send friend a kickass link
>now all of my links get removed except for Youtube shit
>even fake shit like fuckoffgaben.com is filtered
ruh roh
>>284639559
this shit was happening to my Level 31 friend
idk what u r talkin about o-O
>>284639559
I'm level 11 with a 5 year old account and can't send links.
>>284639559
I assume it is because of all the level 0 or 1 accounts that try to add you.
>>284634325
Just in case anyone was dumb enough to believe this

>>284639239
>You either needed to be 9 or higher to post links.
>It's because there have been too many scam links going around. People also fell for them.
Praise be to Based Gaben
>>284639974
You weren't banned, dumbass. It's a shadowban system.
>>284640101
lol
BRING BACK /ME YOU FAT BEARDED CUNT
YOU ARE
RUINING
MY ERPS
>getting shadowbanned for posting a 4chan link because kids are too retarded to not get scammed
Thanks Valve!
>>284637554
What the fuck are you talking about. It's about cheating, it has nothing to do with race.
>>284639559
Level 17, had an account for 6 years, cant send shit. That moderator is either wrong, or they changed their policy, I don't buy the shadowban shit because if people found out about them not sending links and tested it with friends then all of them get banned for simply testing something, or people who showed their friends chatlogs with a hacker, like "lol look at this dumbass" get shadowbanned too. They can't even see the context of the chat.
>>284640192
He oughta bring back the ability to play chess, too.
>>284640192>not erping in verbal future tense>not meeting your partner irl and doing exactly as you were teasing him about
>>284640361
I can't erp with chess
Checkers though, hell yeah
>>284640101
So this is only for people who have been banned?
In that case, who gives a shit?
>>284640483
i need a bf
>>284640538
>Not ERPing while you play chess
Get a load of this pleb.
>>284640541
People who scam shit I guess.
oya?
