I wonder how support will respond to your offensive profile comments
And your incessant trolling
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2177452501
Look at his profile and you'll kinda get the impression the OP is 'slightly' unhinged
OP, yes, Steam has mature/adult games. That doesn't mean that you can post "adult" content in your community profile.
edit: As far as the rogue avatar, which was removed from the game, that's why you got a break on your avatar ban, which looked like it was only 24 hours.
The most recent avatar ban is for this one.
https://steamcommunity.com/games/1117680/Avatar/Preview/0
The avatar still exist to be chosen by anyone at this date. This time for 3 months? But wait, shouldn't it be 6 days, as the first offense, as the frist one should not even be counted, its resolved, void of penalty?
Well at least they put a date / duration this time unlike they did the first time, baby steps Valve, baby steps.
This recent ban shouldn't count either. As Andrew has said.

Lies after 3 months, and this account has not used any avatars other than the ones provided by Steam here https://steamcommunity.com/actions/GameAvatars/ nor has a single avatar been uploaded of my own,
Yes I've contacted support again to see what they say this time. I'm still allowed to share my Steam experiences and concerns here, as support kb suggest, as well as anyone is, unhinged or not.
They have now banned my user name too. PORNOGRAPHY But you all know that. The only word ever used besides PORNOGRAPHYOVERHERE never any cuss words, so apparently PORNOGRAPHY is a cuss word or bad word now, and is offensive like this avatar is https://steamcommunity.com/games/1117680/Avatar/Preview/0
That or it just goes to show how easily the automated report system is abused.
That speaks volumes to me and says you KNOW that the other users here are correct.
It doesn't matter whether Valve deemed it ok one minute and not the next, because it's THEIR rules as clearly stated in the Subscriber Agreement.
For someone who pushes so heavily against the rules to see what they can get away with, it would be incumbent upon you to find out what those rules are.
To me, it just seems like you were playing with fire and got upset after being burned.
Considering profile checks, its mostly automated / calculated, then send to some 'moderator' to do a final check.
The avatar image looks cute imo and there is nothing wrong about it from what I can tell (as an avatar on your profile at least).
As for your username, I doubt anyone would have actually 'seen' it without being of adult age or something similar, since meh-
but it's just a term.
I'm surprised they removed it and replaced it with your ID number.
And the ban system is also automated. They unban you, but don't lower the counter because they forget about that. e.e; (or maybe its because the system is outside of the hands of mods and the mods need to make a report and send it to the team that does keep the system database up)
anyway, it comes down to systematic organization fails.
bot finds it possibly risky (perhaps too because 18+ games couldn't be allowed on Steam without problems before due to a lack of age checking and maybe it still stems from that)
some person sees the pic, anime, girl, mouth open, doesn't see much else, instantly clicks confirm because too many reports come in to spend more than a few seconds on a pic. Something like that.
idk where you can post suggestions for review of the entire system. (outside of the suggestions for mods and the way fora work and stuff... maybe in client beta or support they can send it to the right place)
but I do think it needs an update.
Heck, I mean, if they really want kids to avoid seeing normal terms or images like that because of riskiness, then they might as well set up an age check system to avoid seeing the avatar or something.
idk. (just ranting some thoughts)
Yeah the KB needs to be updated / modernized / more clear.
I suspect even mods get confused when valve is lowering limits and the last time they checked the KB was 3~4 years ago.
edit: I mean
but yeah, as they currently do things and with these old rules still being in act, (old as in not updated)
considering the name ban "content that is porn" is not the term porn itself. ;sweat;
(ps: might be filtered, idk how strict the word lists are currently. I apologize if you need to circumvent it.)
I mean like, aren't these very KB entries themselves Safe For Work and approperiate (despite displaying the words as well)?
>.>; yeah......
very odd basically.
Edit 2:
@OP I highly recommend you to stop finding the borderline and just put stuff on your profile and messages that you know with certainty is within acceptance.
If I recall right, I read once that repeated offenders will be banned more harshly and severely with the number of bans. (you might get a perm ban after three or so)
and there is no 'cooldown' that resets this count.
They used to have this system for vac as well with tops being a year, but well... e.e; a year is a bit short for a hacker. I'm not sure why it was that short, but they replaced it all with instant perm bans there, which is longer than 500 years.
aka. things stay a 'system' and because of that there is no 'forgiving'. They see accounts, not people nor emotions. They can't take the risk in a lot of cases either. Just saying.
idk how it is with community bans, but I suspect similar.
they might just see some annoying account trying to borderline them each time and hit the ban button.
