Blocking an account doesn’t really solve the trauma of being scared to accept any friend request since it could be this guy

Oh yeah, that's a good point.

Steam support did nothing

I'm not surprised. I love Steam, and the service that they provide, but I don't think their support has ever been particularly outstanding. I've had mixed experiences with their support. I'm not sure what they can do about this in general, though. Even if they banned him, that could set him off even more and make him try to harass her even more to the point where it's non-stop continued and he keeps spamming friend requests, etc.

I guess the idea would be transferring her account to a "new" account, or transferring her games to a "new" account, but yeah they don't allow that. Damn.
