Avatar got deleted

[cracker]

My steam avatar got deleted without warning. I had that avatar for 4 years and had no problem with it but now all of a sudden they delete it and dont allow me to change my avatar for a week. The picture was not that bad and i read the guidelines and it wasnt clear what rule the avatar broke.

I contacted steam support and I asked them to specify which exact rule the avatar broke, but instead of answering that they gave me a generic answer and said that they stand by their decision without telling me which rule i broke.

I dont understand why they cant give you a warning to change the avatar within 24hrs or something instead of outright banning you for a week . also they say that repeat offenders could get a community ban so how do I know weather or not my new avatar will be ok if they dont even specify which rule i was breaking in the first place, also the rules are very vague so I think that they should tell people to change it first instead of banning, unless the image is blatantly breaking the rules.

Only Steam Support can mediate this and answer your question(s).

These forums aren't the place to seek assistance with that.

Steam support did not answer which rule I broke even tho i asked twice and then they closed the ticket

Content rules...

The above are rather clear than not.

Bingo.

I can find thousands of avatars where you can see male nipples, why do they not get banned

Probably got reported numerous times cause of exposed moobs.

Maybe they cannot tell it is a man from the small image.

Double standards i know.

Report them.

I've reported MANY of those.

[cracker]

Also i wouldnt mind changing the avatar, I just dont like the fact that they banned me instantly, why not just tell me to change it.

Also would it be ok if I went into paint and if I would draw a bra to cover his boobs? I didnt get the chance to ask steam support. I would like to know because i had this picture for 4 years, its iconic and my friends know me by it.

It was not nipples that got it taken down.

It was mans chest made out to look like boobs.

Support only acted on the report.
