    So are you just gonna ignore all the other ways I’ve listed to tell a scammer?

    Never said it was a one and dusted kinda thing if you had a clown award, just that it should immediately raise red flags if you have a relatively worth inventory and actively trading. MY experience is that all the randoms trying to add me that had the clown award displayed were in fact scammers.

    This is in the context of trading once again, not steam forums or even general steam. Steam trading is functionally a different experience from general steam. No sane trader uses the forums to trade. Its all 3p sites. People adding you when you actively trade items are either people looking to trade or scammers. If you’re not trading in the mid to high tier range, none of what I’ve said applies to you. The clown award doesn’t mean anything then, because you’re not going to get 5+ daily friend requests

    On a side note you should probably not use the forums, it’s been unmoderated for about 15 years.
