Using steam to report bots #140

Closed The-personified-devil closed 4 years ago

The-personified-devil commented 4 years ago

There are two main ways to report players: In TF2 and in steam. Since we can't use the ingame report option, we could cheat and open the profile in a web browser in the background and use a similar like tampermonkey to report the bot. It is likely to have a bit of a performance impact and will probably be hard to implement, so this is just a suggestion.

You can still report people from within TF2...? (although this would be a good thing to make the detector do, if such is possible.)

The we in this case is from the perspective of the tool. The tool itself cannot use the in-game option.

My bad, I missed that.

But this is most probably against Steam's TOS. Since there isn't an official way to report a player automatically (via Commands or API), they might not want you to do that.

I wouldn't use the automation with my main account, but it's probably dumb to implement.

This is actually against steam subscriber agreement. "You may not use Cheats, automation software (bots), mods, hacks, or any other unauthorized third-party software, to modify or automate any Subscription Marketplace process" https://store.steampowered.com/subscriber_agreement/#4 Also reports are not used to actually ban accounts
