Messaggio originale di Dr.Shadowds 🐉:

If you don't want to view adult games that means porn that A / 18+ / 21+ rated that involved sexual intercourse, you want to uncheck the box for "Adult Only Sexual Content " FYI Witcher, GTA, Rust, or etc does not count as Adult Only Sexual Content, as they're not porn games, some people may confuse them as such, just clearing that up.

For community hub content under "Violent & Sexual Content" enable "Blur and warn about content that may contain frequent nudity or sexual content" option this will blur images that are flagged by the AI, if missed, can report it, and support will blur content.

Can be mad all you want, but not gonna change what I said. If you're running to every adult game community hub reporting, content, then you're work in vain as your reports isn't going to remove those games, or content, and often they get blur as well.

Its almost like the tag sexual content has such a wide spread that when people see it on some M-rated games they dont understand how there is sexual content in said games thats usually just out of side and mind over most of the game.

Like I said above, all of the Fallout Games have Sexual Content tags, yet if you play the standard game story your chances of running into ANY OF IT are extremely low, yet for those that explore said games will also easily find it. Like in Oblivion there's that one book seller in the DLC that is literally a personified talking and walkin fanfiction.

Easy to find... if you know where too look. If you actively look for something that's hidden or has specific requirements, the problem is the player, not the game. Check official rating before buying a game.

No no my point is that in some games, especially in Open-world ones, having to list everything off would be insanity, like its there, what Im saying is that Fallout is not a porn series, but it has adult content, hell GTA is also not a porn series, and I'm sure most of us these days already know what Hot Coffee is or even what GTA5 has in it anyways.

So, you're saying that Michelangelo's David is porn?
No one can ever claim that.

Is Triss Merrigold bending over nude art?

Actual image in the Witcher 3 artworks section.

I mean...by classification? No, that wouldn't even fall within porn, that at worst sounds like it would just be nudity which the Witcher has its tag for, and at best it sounds like seduction which as far as Witcher goes, also has happened before within the series.

How many times do I have to explain my complaint is not about porn games, there is no such thing as "adult community hub", according to Steam rules. Gaming companies also have to agree to steam rules to sell here.

These guidelines apply to all places in the Steam Store and Community where users can post content. This includes, but is not limited to, discussions, comments, guides, product reviews, screenshots, artwork, videos, tags, and Steam Workshop.



You know whats funny about those rules mate?
The STEAM COMMUNITY is literally in this section of the forums, amusingly above the VAC discussion and 3 below the current section were posting in, note how the rules really are here on what art is classified under: https://store.steampowered.com/online_conduct/

Note within none of the conduct online does it say uploading adult in game art is against the rules, ironically nor does it also say the above things apply outside of these discussion areas: Rules and Guidelines For Steam: Discussions, Reviews, and User Generated Content FOR THE STEAM DISCUSSION AREAS MEANING STEAM GAMES, ironically if we took Fallout into that fact, Steam does not own fallout, thus it falls ot Bethesda game area mods to deal with it, with Witcher it would be CD Project Red mods there, shockingly most already know this, and the better part is that Fallout's creaters, Bethedsa, does not care about those images, simply because they own those areas as is, meaning you can report all you wish but if the Bethesda mods in those areas see no issue, there's no issue.

Nope, never played gta 5 and don't indend to.

Yes, as pointed out, Game Developers do not have to obey the posting rules for content on these forums, and no one can claim otherwise.

And for what it's worth, a nude female bending over is no more porn than the Statue of David is.

It can be tantalizing, but that's it.
NSFW does not equal porn.

Doom Eternal is NSFW, but that's not because of naked women in it.
:P

To quote one of my friends
"If Doom Eternal had adult themes outside of the current ones, then I for once could properly tell my parents that I was not simply killing a cyberdemon, I was just snapping his horn off and shoving it up his icon of sin and wait to see how to respond to that instead!"

[davidb11]

Okay. That's fair enough.

Messaggio originale di Iron Knights:

I'd agree to remove any games not complying by the same rules, but I can avoid watching the store games, I can't avoid watching Screenshots and Artwork.

Let's look at another angle - I am an artist, posted my hand drawn stuff about any non-porn game, in the artwork section of the game itself. My artwork (good or bad) gets dropped in a swamp of porn posters, all getting 100 likes & rewards, while mine gets ignored at 1 or 2 likes bottom of the list. Regardless that it's work relevant to the game itself.

Yeah. To some degree I agree (heh) with you. Valve's take on this whole thing is rather erratic in my eyes. The only "advice" I can give is just something everyone knows: "The easiest fix to any system is you," ie. that it's easier for you to change than making everything else change. But I believe you know the hill you have to climb already. :)

EDIT: Oh and also these:

Considering he's incorrect about the rules regarding how games on Steam works, I don't know if you want to agree with anything he says. :P

Messaggio originale di Iron Knights:

Again, NOPE ! You are not and there is no such "hub that contains adult content", it's all in your mind and all illegal.

Yes you can, its been repeatedly confirmed by steam mods and employees. If a game contains sex/nudity your free to take screenshots, post it, etc and they can contain any adult content.

Everything posted in that game hub is covered by the age gate which is why its allowed. What you can't do is use stuff like nudity mods in a game like skyrim and post anything that contains nudity.

[76561197960287930]

strangely enough, reporting user content that is game sex, porn, nudity NSFW in marked adult hubs, still makes some of it go away. so much for users telling other users the misinformation that such content is allowed, although the rules, nor the reporting system have been altered to reflect any changes.

I wonder what the legal liability is on Valve's part if they openly changed the rules to specifically allow user content game porn etc.. idk maybe they are consulting with porn hub. imo if they are going allow one type of porn on the platform. they might as well allow it all. Isn't wallpaper engine already doing it? porn is porn. In my mind Valve's not brave enough to own it, in re-writing the user rules, or even clarify the rules the current rules are the rules, because they don't want the backlash.

Edit: and OP Iron Knights - Valve and hub devs can perma-ban & hub ban up-loaders of content to stop them. looking at you wallpaper engine. But like everything else, it's not one of those things they are even consistent or even fair about, the devs have their priories, and Valve & Support has theirs. Opinions & interpretations of the rules very from one user to the next, don't they.
