So my uploaded screenshots of a naughty 18+ game got removed for violating community guidelines ...

[Poop King]

But its an 18+ game available on steam and the community screenshots already contain fully graphic screenshots uploaded by other users.

I believe I got targeted by a homophobic moderator.

I don't think thats necessarily a nsfw issue.

You have options to disable all such content on your account preferences if you don't want to see it:

MATURE CONTENT FILTERING
Include products in my Store & Community that contain the following types of content.
These products may appear on Steam Community in certain places, but their content will be blurred out.

General Mature Content

Tick this box if you are okay with seeing games that are intended for mature audiences. These games may have content or themes not appropriate for all audiences such as such as graphic violence, frequent nudity, sexual content, and other mature topics.
View Example Products

Frequent Violence or Gore
Tick this box if you are okay with seeing games that contain frequent violence or gory content.
View Example Products

Nudity or Sexual Content
Tick this box if you are okay with seeing games that contain some nudity or sexual content.
View Example Products

Adult Only Sexual Content
Tick this box if you are okay seeing games that contain sexual content that is explicit or graphic and is intended for adults only. By ticking this box you affirm that you are at least eighteen years old.
View Example Products

Note that it says 'store and community', so that would indicate such content is allowed in the community?

Yes, but, for example, not every "mature and gory games" contains full outright sex. So if you post a pic of people having a LOT OF FUN in let's say... Metro Exodus? whatever just an example. Then it might get moderated. This is kind of a grey zone where using your head and posting everything in a way that is considerate for others is a good idea.

The reality is, if we are going to play the rule game, the general guidelines forbid porn. And those superseeds everything else. But, its kind of an agreed "silent" agreement that nobody cares about porn art in a porn game. Because its not disruptive at all. But, better still put that NSFW thing on. Better safe than sorry.

Plus, no harm done, having a spoiler tag over that kind of stuff is free publicity. XD

It was a porn visual novel game, 18+ rated!

I know. But, im not a steam employee. Did you try disputing the ban? Perhaps the mod was a bit heavy handed. With a bit of luck you could get a clearer answer this way.

Wait it out. It's maybe gonna be lifted. Just remember to explain your point clearly and respectfully. Sometime moderators do things the best way they think to have to do it. But keep in mind they get a ton of report so all of this goes fast. So its not impossible one jumped the gun and kinda forgot the whole context of it.

These things happens.

It may not have been a Steam mod but the developer who deleted them. Some devs don't like it if you upload too many screenshots from their game.

BS, I straight up have a message and warning from Steam moderation, also the developer cant put sanctions / upload bans on your account.

You need to step back and take a breath. I was only offering a possible explanation, at no point did you provide the info you've just given. In the case I saw the deletion by the dev led to a ban in the user being able to upload screenshots and yes you're correct the dev said that the ban was not their doing.

Erm, there are literally hundreds of pornographic games on steam, and you have to consent before being able to view them or the screenshots.

Irrelevant. User generated content, including screenshots and artwork are not given free reign just because the game includes nudity or sex. That's always been the rule. So, if reported, it is very likely to be removed.

All those games seem to have 'free reign' with nude screenshots plastered all over their community pages.

I believe I got targeted by a homophobic moderator.

Using a patch/mod to make the game uncensored/hardcore and then post the screenshots is not allowed.

LOL the game is uncensored without mods. There are SEX GAMES on Steam, get over it already.

I've checked 10+ different such games, they all have full nude sex scenes uploaded as screenshots.

All of you saying its not allowed when its literally the default on all these games.

OK so I even found a furry sex game that shows full genitals and sex on the STORE PAGE'S screenshots lol. So it clearly is allowed!

[Poop King]

Ok so whichever moderator is doing this is surely taking the piss ...

I uploaded all my screenshots of Coming Out On Top AT THE SAME TIME

They went back through my screenshots, removed the rest and issued a SECOND WARNING fore REPEATED VIOLATION, even though I only ever uploaded them once.

ALSO NO ONE ELSES NUDE / SEXUAL SCREENSHOTS OF THE GAME HAVE BEEN REMOVED.

And no one at Steam is yet replying to my tickets!

Also heres a funny thing, I had a look out of curiosity to see how the screenshots are reported, as it turns out, they automatically have a 'Mature content warning / this content has been blurred' tag applied to them and cannot be reported!

So it would seem that everyone else can upload the screenshots, but only I can't because I made a comment in a previous thread saying 'this content is fine because it has a mature content warning'.

[Thermal Lance]

Oh well, I was hoping for a good outcome for everyone.

So I tried to report the other nude screenshots then to see what would happen, and it doesn't even let you and just gives an error!

If you "pretend" to be female (whether true or not), the chances of your screenshots getting deleted even after someone reports them goes to almost 0...twitch style moderation...

skyrim SE community hub is full of adult content and need mods to unlock that adult content.

Users that "appear" to be male get their content taken down far faster and the user disappears eventually, than users who "appear" to be female who still upload the same content many months later.
