Avatar choosing Banned for "inappropriate avatar" for the second time

[HandsomeHam]

So apparently some stupid f*****g mod is upset with my profile pic of my friend with a toy gun in his mouth. Just got banned for the second time after I re-uploaded it, I had it on for about 6 months or more before it got banned about half a month ago, and now they banned me again for the same image because THEY found something inappropriate, where as I find it really funny and everyone I play against finds it funny. Mods need to grow the f**k up my god.

It probably got reported.

I await the inevitable community ban rant in a few months. Or one from an alt account.

well im obviously not gonna post it again because some fu*kwit has it out for my avatar

To be fair, it's not exactly obvious it is a fake gun. Additionally, Valve taking suicide seriously and taking action if someone takes it lightly or even makes fun of it is acceptable in my opinion.

1.) Noone cares if its a faked gun or not.
2.) Suicide is one of the last topics you should joke about. I hope the guy on the picture is ashamed of his arse.

If you don't want to get your pictures deleted... Use appropriate stuff. Steam is a plattform for everyone but this braindead stuff.

Nope, YOU are the person who should grow up. If you think this is funny it's a big sign you're not mature at all.

Let's assume that someone lost a friend or family member who commited suicide by the method shown in your profile pic

Let's take your stance that your profile pic should not upset them because it is a fake gun.

Now try to explain to them why they should not be upset and see what response you get.

This post incorrectly states that mods need to grow up. Most of the time avatars and profile content are removed by Steam support. OP can review the community message and contact support for clarification.

If you believe this item has been removed by mistake, please contact Steam Support.

Which makes those people moderators. It's not a term unique to discussion forums.

That's generally the single most stupid idea. You basically got a warning shot, and you laughed in their face by doing EXACTLY the same thing again.

Sure, but I think you know what I mean. Generally, if the "moderator" is being paid then we call them Steam support or Valve employees. OP is posting about this on the forum where there is no Steam support, thus I'm directing them to contact Steam support.

It wasn't a mod. Someone reported your avatar and it was deemed your avat breached tos and looking at the link to the image in question it isn't surprising.

amazing to see how fast people are oppress others because your own morals and ideas/opinions dont match yours. comedy is subjective and the person could have ♥♥♥♥♥♥ messaged me to ask about it at any point, i re-uploaded it because I was pissed that they didn't have the sense to use the system steam built into their ♥♥♥♥♥♥ program, MSG

[Cathulhu]

No one oppresses here anyone. You're overreacting over a tasteless and bad joke.
There was nothing to talk about. The avatar was deemed violating the rules and was henceforth removed, TWICE.

[Spawn of Totoro]

Suicide is not a joke.

Fake gun or not, I would have to agree that the avatar was not appropriate.

If you wish to contest the ban of the avatar, with those who make such a decision, I suggest using the link provided in the message to contact support.
