Apologies to anyone who is in the steam group for whats going on in regards of the spam. It all initially started with SPNKr posting an update through the steam program itself, ive ran into the same issue myself where the same message will spam over and over unless you close the steam program window completely. With that initial blast, came a shit storm of countless spammed messages in the steam group from multiple people because in our strange wisdom having the ability for everyone to post a group announcement was a "Good Idea" With yashoki offline I could not disable this feature, so .. it continued. I'm not sure what other officers were helping with trying to delete the messages or kick thos responsible, but thank you for your help.

Again I'm sorry to everyone who had to deal with that BS, hopefully we can get the shit locked down soon. As for now I will be unavailable via steam till I am done with my finals project.

Was wondering what was going on.
I found a solution to the spam. I just left the group.

Solved pretty much everything on my end.
Thank you.
I think the big question is why doesn't Yash give the other admins powers as well? As long as you don't let asshats become admins there wouldn't be any problems, and you wouldn't have admins leaving the group because they can't do anything.
I put this up on the announcements but i'll clarify here

A while ago I was asked if certain people could be officers so they could post community events and announcements. The way I had it set up only officers could have that kind of power, but I decided that it would be easier to let people just post with they want with the idea that everybody was mature enough to leave it alone. That way people could schedule events for whichever game they wanted without having to bug an officer.

Apparently I was wrong, a few choice individuals decided to play with the announcements system. So currently only officers can post an announcement and I have also have it set so they could only set up events. I'm sorry it had to be this way but I guess people cant keep their hands to them selves.
something something period blood ? wonderful.
DRINK MY PERIOD BLOOD!
It was funny until idiots started spamming back, I was pissing myself.
I just left
I just shut down Steam for the night. I mean, I understand that Destructoid and its Steam equivalent aren't composed of the same members, but good fucking God people. I can understand SPNKr's problem because that was a bug (and Steam was acting up for everyone from what I could tell) but that didn't mean everyone had the right to spam the damned thing.

Look, I love Dtoid, don't get me wrong, but the number of asshats, trolls, and absolute idiots is a lot higher than I gave you all credit. =\
I didn't mind it since the glitch seemed to be the problem at first, but then someone started spamming 'horse dick?' and then it just went fucking crazy. I just closed steam, wasn't playing anything anyways, and left it at that. Glad to see only officers can post announcements now though.
Man, that was annoying. Glad it's all under control now.
see Scotty's question.
I think my Steam shit after the tenth announcement of "drink my bloody period." I was playing Blade Runner the entire time, so I never even noticed until I was ready to shut the machine down.
Neither you nor Yashoki have to be sorry, it's not your fault if some retard(s) with the maturity of a 5 years old with Down syndrome abused your good faith. It's just too bad that the rest of us have to be punished at the same time. But it's always like that: A bunch of fucktards ruining the fun for everybody.

@Doomsday Forte: Yeah, I was also seriously disapointed. Thankfully, it was only a bunch of fucktards that abused it, not the majority of Steamtoid.
