Steam discussion forums on every game are a complete dumpster fire. Someone needs to do better, whether it is Steam themselves or moderators.

Steam discussion forums ... kind of famously do not have or require any active, human moderation.

Basically, there's a simple 'foul word detector', and that's about it.

You could nuke everything that is not a manually pinned thread, and nothing of value would be lost.
