Suggestive and nsfw stuff on steam.

[Pikachara]

Hey i wanna talk about how steam bans people for stuff that is not even close to suggestive while letting people with nsfw or suggestive stuff go around steam.
As we know steam is 13+ and nsfw games on steam are a thing, and yes we also know they are hidden on steam for them but are the backgrounds from the nsfw games also hidden? or the profile pictures or emojis? I don't think so. same with artworks people post literal nsfw artworks and steam sometimes ignores many reports about these (an example of artworks steam shouldn't allow: https://steamcommunity.com/id/VaporeonGaming/images/ Though its not the best example i think as they removed acutal nsfw comics they had but still have many highly suggestive stuff in there.) and let's the people go free while people like me get banned for slightest reason.
My point is that steam should make an option to mark your steam 18+ so slighty suggestive avatars can be used as apperently my old avatar (a picture of me on a leash where i just sit on the bed) was taken down due to it being suggestive while people seriously just go around having cropped nsfw images or just straight up nsfw images...
Like i think steam should draw a new line about what they allow and what they don't as it's ridiculous how they ignore my 100+ reports on people i meet in games who really just post nsfw artworks or have nsfw pfps and go freely around steam without a single ban...
What im saying here is that the 18+ profile would let you upload SLIGHLY suggestive stuff like my pfp i mentioned before but still any nsfw or highly suggestive stuff should be taken down.

I also wanna point out here that im sorry if i make mistakes in writing or have bad grammar im typing this kinda fast but i hope you get my point of what im trying to say.


Also while im making this steam should also finally add an option to report comments on our own profiles and hiding them till support checks them as i rather the person to be punished than delete their comment and let them go free c:

If you can see it on a US beach it's probably safe to be posted.
(I stated a US beach because here in Europe it's not uncommon seeing topless women at the beach or nudist beaches

Site includes being used for children, don't use suggestive, sexually suggestive, or anything involving drinking/drugs for an avatar.

I've reported avatars that go by your description, the reports get rejected.

It's so confusing specially the suggestive content, if it's suggestive but it's not the real thing yet still makes you think about S-stuff then how other platforms like Instagram or Facebook allow it?

Example(and it's like 4 years ago and it's still there): https://www.facebook.com/WomenEatingBananasofficial/

Getting ban for being mischievous is too cruel maybe removal and a warning and limited access for a week does it.

Steam also allows adult games within it's platform but it's restricted which means you need to unlock it from your profile to see it, this rule should also apply to artworks and profiles aswell like a tag that only people who unlocked that feature could see them, but you see the problem is that monitoring every profile and artwork takes million years so they just limit you from doing it.

Even though suggestive content is a valid concern. While Steam is a gaming platform, it doesn’t strictly cater to kids—many of its most popular games are for mature audiences. That said, there are minors on the platform, and suggestive content on user profiles could definitely be an issue.

Steam does have content filters and parental controls (like Family View) that let parents restrict what kids can see, but not all parents use them. Unlike Instagram or Facebook(why the example provided is still there then?), which actively remove suggestive content, Steam’s moderation is more hands-off unless something is reported.

The fact that Steam allows adult games but also has younger users creates a bit of a gray area. Ideally, they would have stricter enforcement on profile content, but it mostly depends on user reports.
