Didn't post or upvote anything suspicious on Steam and still got an account alert? Here is what you can do about it.
Steam is not only one of the biggest clients where you can officially buy games but it also has a big community where you can discuss all sorts of in-game things. As such there are some nefarious actors who post suspicious links or others who upvote to such links. If you happened to upvote one of such links then there is a chance you will get an account alert on Steam followed by a ban.
This has more to do with your account activity than what you do. So if someone has hacked your account and did it instead of you, you will still land in trouble for it. So, here are the reasons why you may get such alerts and what you can do to remove the ban from your account.
The main reasons why you can get this message on your client when:
If such activities are repeated from your account you will receive a permanent ban and won’t be able to use any Steam community features.
Make sure to contact them so that you can know how long the ban will last. It most likely won’t be resolved on its own and could rather even turn into a permanent ban.
In case you were the one who posted the suspicious content but weren’t aware of it being against the community guidelines or if it was a mistake on either side. Here too you will have to contact Steam for help.
That is all on why you get an account alert on Steam and how you can remove it. Be sure to also check our Steam section for any other help on similar topics.
