Valve should take action against Most-likely spam guides on every game forum

[Zylx]

Every guide section of every game i go to will always have these guides like "how to walk" "how to jump" "how to shoot" that always have a gigachad pic, the reason these guides exist is because people wanna farm steam points. Valve should take action against these guides and implement a new rule for steam guides to have well over 500 words and if not they will not be approved.

They never did anything about people baiting out clown emotes to farm points either. Think it's safe to say they don't care.

Do those guides actually break any rules? I doubt it. Therefor there isn't any reason for Steam to intervene. Not to mention... if these are guides on a game hub then it's the developer/publisher's responsibility.

In fact, I'd like to argue that it's better this way. Because... what's the alternative? You're only allowed to share a guide as long as it meets certain standards? Who's standards?

You know... if you don't like something it really shouldn't be all that hard to just ignore it. Or... if you do think that rules are broken... report it.

I'm not sure how I get that writing a bad guide "farms steam points" - if the guide is bad why would anyone give it points?? And if they do - why exactly do you care?

If a guide is text, short and useful - why does it need to be 500 words long?

If a guide is a few screenshots with instructions- why does it need to have 500 words??

Someone said that picture is worth 1000 words - so a picture of a difficult solution should not be allowed because they didn't write 500 words??

I totally disagree with an action like this because YOU have had a few issues.

If you have a problem - report it.

Edited to add: LOL good luck with reporting it...

Or meme reviews. It's another one of their failings.

this is the part i do not get

seriously, who cares?

people can give their points to whomever they wish

wonder if they think that they would be getting those points if they were not being given to these

The Volunteer Mods used to delete them and even ban repeat Offenders from posting Guides, i had quite many Chats with them about these Things. When the Volunteers where Sunset for the paid Mods however, it all came crashing down. Since then nothing is being done.
