The user that posted the review had their account returned to normal [0] around the time this was posted. They were told by Steam support that their "account was locked for promoting or posting malicious content" but the message didn't explicitly mention the review. Their review is still "banned" though. Steam support adds "We've gone ahead and removed the lock. In the future, please make sure you are not spamming or advertising" which makes it sound like it wasn't just the review they had a problem with. But trying to read into support agent messages is like reading tea leaves...

If the review is banned, it seems that the review in question was the reason for ban/lock. I wouldn't read into "please make sure you are not spamming or advertising". They could write "please make sure you are not harming anyone" and it would not suggest that the user attempted to do so. It's just a trashy, corporate replacement for "we fucked up and we're sorry".

Having said that, (that is what I said), the message was convincingly human for a support agent response. They didn't need to use so many words.

The point is to reinforce that the recipient is/was at fault. They don't talk about specifics. It "makes it sound like it wasn't just the review they had a problem with".

    There's always more to these stories. Always. And the full details almost never come to light.
