Profanity filter always on, can't disable
I went to https://store.steampowered.com/account/preferences and set it to never filter anything, I have no custom words, etc. However in both the forums and profiles profanity is still filtered with hearts. I've tried turning it on then off again. I've tried it both in a browser and with the client.

all the section of steam are censored
someone know why?

The toggle is not for the forums.

This is what I did specifically...

https://steamcommunity.com/discussions/forum/12/4420805388060811363/#c4420805388065290437

And the only things filtered are blacklisted links and hard coded filtered words like, free and skins. Put the 2 words together and they are filtered no matter what. And websites added to the filter.

I don't see any hearts in your post.

It's working as it should be. You can turn the filter off for chat, not the forums or profiles. Read the announcement again.

Well that's stupid. I should be able to disable it everywhere; I'm not a child.

Yet many, many users are.

This is why that is the way it is.

I'm genuinely surprised it exists at all as a feature.

Correct. There are many others who aren't children and don't want censorship everywhere and this affects them too.

Absolutely, which is why you keep the filter turned on. Everyone wins!

And now we need the option to turn it off for profiles and forums.

Valve disabled it for the forums again when they made that blog post. They had enabled and disabled it a few times on the forums the past month+.

You're still beating your head against the brick wall and manage to completely ignore the fact you're not the only type of person on the platform and Valve has to cover their legal buttcheeks, not appease some whackjobs who are obsessed with slinging swear words at every corner.
