Profiles have defaulted to private since 2018.

I'd love this, don't wanna read what private profiles have to say.

Just interested in normal people.

You do realize private profiles ARE normal people, or profiles set to friends only, right?

...being ultra negative/farming reactions.

Because users with public profiles totally don't do the same thing. Totally.

To be fair, Fallout 4 kinda deserves the negativity.

And the game can be shared via Steam Families, which doesn't show ownership.

No the top dogs of farming negative reactions are often private profiles. I would like to filter out ALL off topic posts and engagement bait ideally much like the Review System already does. I just want a similar function for the forums.

Being able to filter out private profiles is easy to implement compared to a sophisticated system that can read and detect "engagement bait".

If someone hasn't bothered to customize their profile that's even less reason to see their comments.

I love how it’s just devolving into more and more completely irrelevant reasons to disregard people’s comments instead of actually basing things off the actual content of a post.

Steam provides people privacy options for a reason, they’re not going to punish people or apply filters for block out content because someone has some misguided belief that all private profiles are trolls.

How does adding An Option to filter out undesirable posts a punishment for anyone? It's only for me, if you want to see them you can and private profiles can keep posting as much as they want.

You are strawmanning because you cannot argue for your position.

Again my suggested functionality to filter out off topic/engagement bait posts is no different than the already existing function for User Reviews.

I find that filtering out non-English and off topic reviews paints a more honest picture for the state of a game I plan to purchase.

Painting all private profiles as trolls sounds more like a strawman than anything I’ve said. If you don’t like people’s off topic posts, block and move on. It’s not that hard

You have convinced yourself that I ever said all private profiles are trolls.

I don't want to individually block. I want a filter to do it for me.

I am getting a feeling that you are trolling me right now. Of course you are a private profile

It's really telling that some people think being able to filter out say, Adult games or AI games on the Store Page is some sorta censorship...

Apparently we're not allowed to have a choice. User Choice = Censorship

seeing all the top comments being a private profile, who doesn't even own the game, being ultra negative/farming reactions.

Pretty much implied it in your opening post. But of course you’re not going to actually respond to my points but instead point to my private profile and call me a troll, thanks for proving my point.

Also thanks for the free points, just keep digging that hole deeper and proving this is entirely a you issue and not a problem with the steam boards

You didn't make any points. I said the top posts are often private profiles farming reactions. I bet most private profiles do not post on the forums let alone engagement bait. I never claimed all private profiles are trolls...

With all due respect you seem to lack reading comprehension.

I already gave your reward, you can stop replying now, totally not troll user.
