Malicious users often operate using dummy accounts that have not purchased any games, items, or wallet credit. In order to make it more difficult for these malicious users to spam, scam, and phish other users, we restrict access to certain community features until an account has spent at least $5.00 USD in Steam.

It's damned annoying is what it is, I've spent thousands of pounds on steam over the years but it still randomly restricts my account for reviewing.
When I complain they say: "dude you have to spend $5 in steam first" and I say "bro, I've spent many bucks here" and they reply "i dunno man, it's not cool for some reason" and I say "oh well guy, I won't review then"
It's like totally gnarly.
I'll try to get a review done on one of the rare instances where I can actually access the review system.
