Why are guides like this allowed?

He has dozens of these spam guides going back years with no content in them

Sometimes my news/community page is covered with his garbage guides even though I have him blocked because I don't want to see his useless content that has nothing to do with games.

I’d recommend reporting them but I doubt Valve cares enough to do anything.

Its a Steam guide so you should not really have any way to see it without the profile anyway

The guide is just using guides for there tumbnails

Seeing that his at least not spamming some game and just doing it in the Steam (that is not really accessible) don't seem that bad

But you welcome to report it

Report them through their profile. Don't bother trying to report 24 pages of "guides"

They show up on my community page and news feed all the time, I have no idea why. But community home is where I open steam before browsing to other pages. Today I had like 6 of this guides at the top pushing down everything else game related.

So yes, it is annoying and doesn't require that I go look at his profile.

It's happened before a few weeks ago and his worthless guides took up most of the page, so I went to his profile and blocked him, I assumed that would stop them from showing up in my community and news feeds from steam, but apparently not.

Once you've looked at something steam assumes you want to see more of it, even though I don/t

I recommend you unblock him go to his guides or on his profile and see if maybe your following him?
Don't sound like you should have that, but just check in case that is what is going on

If you report the items then a moderator (usually the support moderators) can have a look. Sometimes content is marked incompatible so it doesn’t show in searches but not actually banned. Content in the “Steam” hub generally doesn’t show up anywhere.

Now I understand why content that clearly violates the Steam rules, stays up.

The problem I see though is when this stuff is not banned, the user will continue to post content that violates the rules without any repercussions. The other users that encounter it are left to report something that could have been removed or banned.

I've seen a lot of garbage on these "fake" guide, from porn to gang's throwing gang signs. Is there a point of reporting if Steam won't remove the violation? What's the point of reporting?

Edit:

I get these emails:

After 4 days and yet the content is still active and not removed. It says that it was removed in the email, but its not.

I wish Valve would create machine learning algorithm. To search & destroy all this sort of guides & groups and make it a better place.
