>VALVe removed the /me command because people got scammed because they're retarded

Anybody else know of instances where companies/developers removed or changes something due to those ignorant?

gamergate being banned from Sup Forums because moot was friends with zoe quinn

can't wait for your post and mine to get deleted

The hell is the /me command?

rp emote shit. instead of something showing up as
imgay69: wordswordswords.
it would show up as
imgay69 wordswordswords.
people used it to rp actions because it removed the : and colored the text the same as your name (blue/green) instead of white

It's a text command for chats that just removes the border and colors it to your name and makes it italicized.

OP is a faggot that likes to erp

what's the point of that?

rp emotes

>/me fucked OP's mom
>me fucked OP's mom
Simply put, OP is a faggot.

/me has accepted the trade or something I dont know

but people are dumb thats the thing

autism

You could write custom emotes like "user wants to fuck" for rp reasons

How did this scam people?

People would use it to pose as Valve staff

retards thought "omg different text color they must be valve employees i will do everything they say without question"

I honestly don't know how but people are retards. I guess scammers would type with the /me text, since it made them look official or some shit.

/me is an admin
me: give me ur password
dumb faggot: ok

you pretend to be a valve employee because your text looks different

Dumbass TF2 kids would I kid you not, fall for someone typing
user has accepted the trade instead of the actual notification that pops up and thus kids would get scammed.

/me wasn't important at all anyways

ah. stupid to begin with and stupidly removed.
