Edit: Seems a limited account (Free account) might require a mobile authentication and not just an email authentication to report things, so yeah, paid account or mobile authentication needed to report shit if this guy is correct. Most threads for this question don't even have answers. Also wow, Steam discussions are kind of filled with shitheads, lmao. When searching up this issue, it's like a bunch of children spamming off topic shit in most threads and nobody actually trying to answer the question. Trying to find any legit information there is painful. The "Limited User Account" help page doesn't even mention reporting or these specific restrictions. Playing a guessing game with how a site functions, cool Steam, real professional.
