    You can but they can just go to a steam profile site and see your previous names/the id doesn’t change

    And if they have a link to your profile (since it uses the id) they will always find you

    For this case they made her player of the week in a group she wasn’t apart of. It’s still there today but the profile is deleted (hence the question mark)

    Blocking an account doesn’t really solve the trauma of being scared to accept any friend request since it could be this guy

    Steam support did nothing

      Oh yeah, that’s a good point.

      I’m not surprised. I love Steam, and the service that they provide, but I don’t think their support has ever been particularly outstanding. I’ve had mixed experiences with their support. I’m not sure what they can do about this in general, though. Even if they banned him, that could set him off even more and make him try to harass her even more to the point where it’s non-stop continued and he keeps spamming friend requests, etc.

      I guess the idea would be transferring her account to a “new” account, or transferring her games to a “new” account, but yeah they don’t allow that. Damn.
