This board would never be under any threat of legal action from Valve even if it stated that it actively supported non-Steam. I agree with banning people who are using non-Steam and being disruptive (even if it's something as simple as asking for support and using it). But banning them just for having it, especially in ot_207's case, I think is going overboard.

I fully agree!
