Who uses steam forums anyway? I’ve stumbled across threads through search engine results before but I don’t recall a single instance of finding useful information there. Best case scenario it’s a description of a problem and 300 people saying “I have this issue too, did you find a fix?”
Just get rid of the forums and let the devs/publishers link to their own: problem solved.
What does that achieve? Devs/publishers can moderate their Steam forums, and it saves them money and time compared to hosting their own.
It puts the burden on the devs/publishers, not steam. Every time someone goes to the steam forums, they think it should be moderated by steam.
