How do we disable censorship on the games we already own??

[vokiel]

Steam censorship is coming back full throttle I see. I can no longer view game pages of the games I own without having to fill countless ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ options which do not work.

How can I disable all censorship on this website forever?

Someone messed up the site... didn't you?

Valve introduced new settings for community content. Change them in the preferences as linked by Cathulhu.

They do not work.. And that's what intentional??? It would take 5 minutes to test this.

What games can't you see and in what country do you reside?

The filters for swear words are still not working. I want a option that says: "Disable all censorship forever". 1 check box, not a dozen confusing options that keep getting dumb resets. Can we have that, so juniors stop messing up updates? Can we?

Use
.*
for "never filter these words". This will disable the word filter entirely.

It looked like a great solution, but unfortunately this seems to work only in certain areas still. For instance, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ is a bunch of hearts.

Question is still: Where can we disable all that censorship with one check box? Make another checkbox that says: "Never reset my settings" also..

Use...

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 malicious/scam websites added to the filter.

\pL+

for chat filtering in "Never filter these words"
\pL matches any unicode character
+ quantifies that to unlimited

the chat filter settings are applied to most places where users can write, not just chat as the setting implies.

as for your "one setting" request:
wont happen.
there is a massive difference between showing and selling you games and a potty-mouth on the forums

also certain measurements have to stay in place no matter what, f.e. age and other confirmation gates

I strongly disagree. You make it one check box which just enables all the other ones... Easy development, check it before applying any future censorship patch and set the default value correctly.

Censorship as harassment is not a good solution anywhere.

the forums have a filter on them, and have since the beginning.
There is no valid way to claim it's somehow censorship on THE GAMES you own.
That makes no sense.

There is no need to swear up a storm.
You can do a lot more with kind words.
