AVATAR BAN

[Who]

I find it so ridiculous that Steam bans a sexy but fully clothed woman avatar because in 2024 this is a crime and breaks the rules yet having LGBTQIA+ avatars are so cool or even worse they even sell criminals avatar like Stalin or Putin. What are you guys thoughts about this rules do they seem fair to you?

Update
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cu2-FNksUJI just pause at 3:19 and i got banned because a fully clothed woman butt on steam as avatar is not allowed in 2024 and magically no rules apply for selling girls shaking boobs as avatars,sex games on Steam.

[AROCK!!!]

And also demonstrates just how "kindergarten" STEAM is, and just how much of a snowflake the people looking at reports are.

I mean to be fair, steam allows 13+ people to use (younger if you have a parent? idk) so that's fair.

Of course the same rule wouldn't be applied to human men I'm pretty sure though.

And yet, The advertisement of sex games is allowed, and lets not forget the Hentai games that are much more explicit and revealing than his avatar, and that the females portrayed in them look like 12 year olds.

[AROCK!!!]

I'm not going to argue whether it was or wasn't breaking rules. It's not my responsibility to do so. However, if one decides to ride close to the line between decency and offensive, one will have to expect their chosen picture, or name, is going to be interpreted differently, and the decision to remove it or not isn't going to always align with their own interpretation.

If your intent is to be edgy and controversial with your choices, you're going to get edgy and controversial responses. Nothing straightforward will come of it.

True but why do we have so called Steam rules if it only apply to certain individuals while others can sell and make money of exactly the same thing or even worse.

To be honest, STEAM has never applied the rules on an equal, or even coherent basis, and it has only gotten worse as time has passed.


It all depends on who looks at it, and their "personal" feelings, position, or belief of it

What is considered a rule violation more often than not depends on who the supposed offender is, not what.

Can someone please help me or send me in the right direction. I am unable to find games with my acc. I've gone so far than to create a new acc but are still unable to get a game. Is there like a soft ban or something that can prevent you from getting games?

Porn games are locked behind parental controls/opting in for said content. Forum avatars get displayed whether you like it or not. Two VERY different things.

They are selling both porn games and avatars with girls moving boobs and ass so when money speaks rules only apply to us idiots.

Oh? Havent seen any of those from the point shop. Most avatars I've seen are super close ups of characters faces or hyper stylized chibi art that doesn't accentuate body features at all, and all point shop content has to go through and get verified by steam sooooo.... gonna massive press x to doubt on this one.

lol...you mean the "adults only" box anyone with an account can select, or the page that asks for your birth date, but does nothing to verify it's accurate?

You also ignored the Hentai games and what they show. You should check out the overly sexualized Hentai avatars offered in the points shop.
There is one of a young woman (girl?) in pigtails shaking her huge DD breasts from side to side with a *%#* me look on her face

The only difference is that the OP's avatar was a G rated Disney movie compared to what is available here, to anyone.

Just a few examples on what they are selling on their own store:

My still image of a fully clothed woman butt is such a big issue that i need to be banned yet all their stuff having rather over borderline suggestive animations from; Lapdancing/ Rubbing to the tweasing of underwear and bra's all within rather high in sexual content is not a problem at all.

Double standards and rules that are arbitrary and subjective. Start using those officially offered avatars, and then have fun arguing with support that it is ONE of their own, when someone reports it / ban.

Don't forget to look though here for questionable avatars to use.

Actualy, I think most of the initial moderation is done by Bots / algorithms, as is the first and possibly second appeal, and then, by the 3rd appeal you get an actual human.

I say this for two reasons.

1. Through my own experience, I have had at least ten bans reversed, but always after my 3rd appeal.

2. The moderation of these forums is so all over the place that have I trouble believing actual humans capable of operating a computer can be so mind-numbingly stupid, even STEAM moderators / employees.


Whatever it is, it's broken, needs to be blown in place, and then rebuilt from the ground up.

Precisely the reason why i only using alts nowadays to comment on discussion. Steam support most of the time responded the same sentences over and over while totally ignored your reasoning. Couldn't bother to deal with that bull***

Hello there,

As the avatar cannot be blurred and is visible to other users, please refrain from using any clearly suggestive pictures as your avatar. It could be removed according to Steam Community Rules and Guidelines. Thank you for your understanding.

Let us know if you have any other questions.

Best Regards,
John

Why they even bother having this so called rules if the way it's applied collaborated with the things they are doing at the same time(selling clearly suggestive animations avatars high in sexual content) it's called hypocrisy at the very best?

[veracsthane]

there is a reason we all assure you beyond a doubt steam is going to ♥♥♥♥ after gabe dies and the only reason its not worse is because he lives and if he comes down their bs will be uprooted.

[veracsthane]

bro there was a post a while back. steam banned a pfp that steam put on steam. i have no question in my mind that that poster was honest because of what ive seen from steam.

and no it is in no way shape or form bot moderation.

a bot wouldnt make the mistake ive seen the moderation make. they are just lazy and stupid and refuse to read outright.

its going to get steam sued and i think they know it which is why they have made minor attempts to fix it and the new tos bs.
