Communist (soviet) symboles in steam/in game nicknames and avatars

[ok]

Valve, why you don`t ban people who use it?! Maybe it`s just cuz you havent seen it yet?! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZTA8xc4_8w&t=39s
You can`t just do nothing, you must ban such people! It`s not about freedom of speech at all, not even close! Don`t be hypocrites and cynics!

[Snapjak]

Why don't you report them like you're supposed to instead of whining here?

[cinedine]

Yes, Valve hasn't seen it yet. With more than 100 million active profiles it's quite hard to keep track. Report profiles you think break the rules.

That ^

[ShelLuser]

What's wrong with Soviet symbols anyway? Just because you don't like 'm doesn't make them bad. Instead of trying to force others what to (dis)like maybe you should force yourself to close your browser window whenever you come across such a profile. Live and let live and all that.

Other than that... what the others above said: report, block and move on.

[CitizenX3639]

I dont get choked up with ribbons or slogans "...Strong" and I leave symbols to the simple minded.

Because that symbol is just a symbol of the country. Which used the worst way to run it and that caused millions to die from it.

Nazi symbol was made by people who directed their hate against a certain group of people only.

I'm sure you're comparing it to the nazi symbol btw.

It's a symbol of the ideology, and it absolutely was directed against certain groups of people, most notably the kulaks and ukranians.

[KnedlDX]

It's like you wouldn't let people have flag of their state on their profile, let them be

[KnedlDX]

Lot of the state are communist or some democratic states have Communist parties so I see no reason to ban such people
Sorry for my bad english :)

No it's not.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hammer_and_sickle

The hammer and sickle (Unicode: "☭") is a symbol meant to represent proletarian solidarity – a union between the peasantry and working-class, that was first adopted – as Russian:

I very much doubt there are lines telling people who are under the hammer and sickle to go and kill kulaks or ukranians. It's probably just Russia being Russia.

It's funny how some people think Valve cares or looks when there are literally hundreds of thousands (if not more) people with fascist figureheads, mass murder and all the other categories you can think of. The name of the austrian short dude from the 1930-40s alone has almost 53k hits if you search for it.

Like, you'd guess they have the tools to prevent this or something...but yeah, go off about the communism boogeyman I guess?

[Rens Agatha ⁧【レンス】]

Those people haven't been reported or just started to use the profile picture. Report them and Valve will take a look at the report but they probably get a lot of ones so it might take some time.

But they are pretty active on dealing with reports as of lately.

When things don't get reported, they won't get noticed.
