Rename Steam Accounts to Guest Accounts
Zarniwoop
Now that the content gating trust system is in place I feel it's more important than ever to make it super obvious that steam accounts cannot upload content.
There have already been several users not realizing it and been waiting for very, very long times for their steam accounts to be "accepted" when in reality that will never happen.
Renaming them to "guest accounts" should be a good solution to that as the name implies you cannot do much with it.

The VRChat account automatically created when an user log in with the Steam account or Oculus account cannot have its Display Name changed, and will remain after account consolidation and will continue to appear in account searches indefinitely. The Steam username or Oculus username should not be included in the Display Name of an automatically created VRChat account.
The Oculus account username can only be changed once every 6 months, making it difficult to change the username in advance or take other measures, making it more problematic.

There should be a way for them to know but Steam users are far from guest users. We are full fledged users. I would however switch over if my friends list could be transferred, but since there are no good ways to communicate and add friends without being right in front of them, it's fairly impossible to move without losing people, which is something I cannot afford.

Steam accounts do not have the same capabilities as a VRchat account (Uploading content, logging into the website..) so I would argue that they are not fully fledged users, because they still lack those basic things. They can access the game client and play, nothing else, which to me "guest account" is a pretty good name for.
This might be very tedious if you got a lot of people, but you can in-game open the social menu and use the search bar to find people and add them there or login to the website, search for people and add them as friends in your browser.
A way to transfer friends would be super nice and make the transition much, much better however I doubt that is a priority for the team unfortunately

Zarniwoop: They are fully fledged users, you don't need to logon to the site to do anything and content uploads make sense since there is no user to tie to.
It's not a guest account as your account is persistent, last avatar used saves and your friends list saves.
If anything, they should allow us to tie our Steam account to our VRC account so we don't have to worry.
