So you wake up one day and you find out your Steam friends list has been deleted. Something must’ve happened in the Valve offices, probably someone falling onto a server. I’m not going to make any more fat jokes on this subject for fear of HL2:Ep3 being delayed even more, so let’s talk about that new TF2 update.
You know that spot in 2fort on the Blu battlements where there’s a tiny tiny slit you can see through under the corrugated iron? Yeah, it’s gone. Doublecross got clipbrushed even more now so you can scratch your head and wonder why the crap you can’t rocketjump to that perfectly accessible spot. And flares can be reflected by the pyro yet again. Oh, who am I kidding, the only interesting thing going on on Steam right now is everyone complaining about their friends list!
Not harboring any ill will towards anyone, but I kind of enjoyed all the drama created by the friends fuck-up. Meanwhile, I’ll be playing Bad Company 2. If you’re played Battlefield 2/2142, I strongly suggest checking it out. You won’t regret it if you’ve had fun with those two games.
Edit: Well, logged on this morning, everything’s back to normal on Steam. Also, a beta.

There’s a big steam sale going on around now, in case you haven’t noticed the red background and huge banners on the steam store. Just look at all these savings!

The latest steam client update introduced verified emails. What you do is go to File->Settings->Account tab and click Verify email address.
What happens now is that an email is sent to your contact address verifying you’re the owner of your steam account, and whenever information is changed on your account it first has to be verified through your contact email addy.
Now you can laugh in the face of all those phishers that were bothering you over steam chat. Though the sad bit is that the people that fall for it are probably the ones that don’t bother to verify their emails in the first place.

The latest update addressed the steam community, changing each member’s profile pages. Haven’t loaded up your profile yet to see what’s new? Alright, I won’t dodge the issue, you can now post and receive comments on steam member pages. Who can post where is up to whoever owns the respective member page. This works for group pages as well.
In short you can set permissions to allow or deny groups of people to post comments on your profile or on group pages that you own.
How this will work out, we’ll see. There doesn’t seem to be any anti-spam method if you’ve got your profile comment permissions set to public, but you can delete them just fine.
