[HL1] Report Bugs Feature Request and Badge #1155

Open APGRoboCop opened 11 years ago

Hello may I make a suggestion? Since I've been trying out the new Steam Trading Cards Beta Participation, I was wondering if it is possible for when playing on HL1 or any HL1 mod to have some kind of "Report bug" similar to TF2 Main Menu? I would doubt Valve will make a Report Bug in the Main HL1 menu, but what about if the in-game Steam Community Overlay had that option if that is the best alternative? Because I have a theory due to the lack to reports on HL1 bugs or that due to anxious HL1 players don't have the courage to submit the bug here and may hesitate in Community hubs to ask Valve staff to fix the bugs.

Is it possible they can send bugs anonymously via Report bug option with a attachment for .dmp, .txt and jpg files to add evidence on bugs but for HL1 mods?

Plus I got a idea for Steam Trading Cards but I don't know if that badge exists, I think Steam users may be interested in getting a badge for submitting bugs from the "Report Bug" option or maybe from here where like myself and other GitHub users or Steam vBulletin Forums submit Steam bugs there.

And as for "Report Users" like any profile or any illegal spambot with offensive image or that, I think Steam should have a badge for reporting on illegal activity.

That way the players, as well using HL1, HLDS, or maybe any Non-HL1 or Non-Source games can report accurate relevant bugs and offensive material can earn badges as their awards to keep Steam clean and organised from any glitches.

What do you think?

P.S. I also think Steam users should get a Beta Tester badge for opting on the Beta program like in Settings - Beta Participation and in Game Settings under Betas Tab "Select the beta you would like to opt onto:" kinda similar for getting Beta access to Steam Trading Cards.
