I dont understand what was wrong
Can some one help?

I woke up this morning with three warnings from steam. One in regards to my Avatar, one in regards to my steam name, and the other i didnt see unfortunately, and dont know how to check once opened.

I do not understand how my Avatar was breaching any rules. And ofc, its steam, they dont tell you. I also fail to see how my name was breaching the rules. So perhaps some one can tell me?

My Avatar was a hand drawn (on microsoft paint) picture of (Porn Hubs logo). But it was a very inaccurate bad picture. My steam name was also P O R N H U B. Also an inaccurate depiction of the company name.

Looking through steam, i can see allot of people with the name (Porn Hub), far more accurate than my depiction. And with Avatars that are accurate to Porn Hubs own website or with some thing graphic.

In what way am i breaking the community rules, and why am i breaking them and the others are not?
If any one has an idea, please help. Otherwise i could just keep breaking the rules without knowing. My guess is "Advertising rule"? Though again, My Avatar and name was an inaccurate depiction of some thing.

Thanks

Someone reported you, Valve took action on that. Keep your profile family friendly and you won't have problems.

What is wrong with the word Porn? It is in the dictionary. What is wrong with a silly drawing done on paint?

You advertised something that is not suitable for minors, that's the issue (my guess).

Anything that is not safe for work (NSFW) is not allowed as per community guidelines.

Yeah i was some what thinking the same, but i dunno, i still dont see how its (NSFW).
So for example, if i changed the O and R around in my Avatar, would it be ok then? So its PROM HUB?

Porn Hub is a porn site. P O R N H U B is not. The image is a Meme, not an advertisement. Hence hand drawn, and is regarded as a Meme.
People want weird things as their Avatars or names.
Am i advertising Netflix when my name is NETFLIX AND KILL? Or am i using the play on words of the Meme Neflix And Chill?

*Edit* Yeah, i want to be edgy, its what the cool kids do init?

Any reason you need to advertise an American conservative media company?

"♥♥♥♥♥♥♥" and "P O R N H U B" is basically the same.

And as you can see, the actual word is censored so if it wasn't for the "NSFW content" it was due to bypassing the filters.

Oh? Just like your name is "Basically the same" as an american media outlet. Though, there is a difference. You have a lower case (b). Though i could report you for advertising right? Its the same principle right?

And if its the same, why use hearts for ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, and not P O R N H U B?
