Remove Steam emoticons which resemble rude gestures
I thought insulting people isn't allowed. So why are there emoticons (that you can purchase off the Community Market or craft through badges) which resemble rude gestures such as the middle finger? If I use that emoticon to "flip someone off" virtually, for example, can I be reported and banned for it? It's an emoticon on Steam, so it would be kind of weird if I could be banned for it. And if not, then it's weird that there is a way to insult people that is technically within the confines of the rules.

No, I'm just talking about the ones which are Steam emoticons. Like these:

If used in an offensive way and a game hub mod decides to take action against it, sure.

Valve's own emoticons... :steamsalty: :steammocking: :cgrazz: :rrazz:

I'm not talking about those specific emoticons. I was just clarifying that I'm talking about STEAM emoticons, not generic emojis that you can use, like this one: 👍.

The OP was clarifying the difference so people wouldn't be confused as to which types they were referring to.
