I don't use steam forums. But I have questions. Do the steam forums have any moderation at all? Is there a report button? Can you report comments or forum threads?

I want to know because I feel like a lot of social media has the same problem as steam forums and these tools exist on the majority of those. They rely on the moderation of fellow users.

I also question whether or not steam actually has an automod or anything like that. Or human moderators.

Please keep in mind that I don't use the forums so I really have no idea. This is the first time I'm hearing about this, and I'm interested in knowing more.
