Why are posts reported for porn not removed?

[Gandalf]

The Resident Evil Artwork sections are full of softcore porn. Talking full frontal nudity. I report most of these posts and they are still up. Talked to steam support, was told pornography is fine, when it cleary states in the content guidelines that nsfw content is prohibited.

Steam allows pornographic content for a few years now.
As long as the content is limited to that games community hub and the game is rated appropriately its allowed.

Also there is a big difference between some breasts and full blown pornography.

Edit: After looking around the last few released Resident Evil game hubs, the worst i saw was a handful of naked breasts. Thats it. Thats not porn.
That would get you maybe a USK 12 here in Germany because we are not deadly afraid of nipples like the average American. /s

There's pornographic content in the Marvel's Avengers artwork community pages and that game is rated PEGI 16.

Steam has done nothing to remove this after I've reported people posting this content.

I would never bother reporting such content in games rated 18+ but those people are intentionally subjecting minors to this content. And Steam is enabling them by not taking action.

It's not Valve' property and they don't administer it.

If someone's not taking action then it's WB (or whoever own the ip). They are the ones administering the forum.

Yeah, Valve isn't the problem here, it's the other people.
Which would be Disney, I think?
Or whoever runs the game.

No one runs the game anymore, it is delisted from digital stores. But it can still be played solo and online as it is P2P hosted. Its Steam community pages remain accessible to all.

This is probably why these predators have chosen to post pornography over there, as they know they can get away with it.

But I have also reported the accounts themselves for these actions and Steam has done nothing, the erotic and pornographic imagery remains on those community pages.

How are they predators?
That doesn't make any sense.

Reporting is a slow process.
Sometimes it can take weeks before they'll get around to it.
And you will never see any outcome except for if it does get removed.

I wouldn't start on a crusade though, even if it's a bad thing you're trying to stop.
They tend to never end the way you want.

You don't see posting pornographic material on sites meant for minors as predatory behavior?

Except they're not doing it to target the minors directly.
Look, you want to stop porn posting on the community, that's fine.

I agree it shouldn't be there.

The problem as I've said is the sheer amount of time it takes for reporting to work on that type of thing.
It's hard to stop people from posting junk in a lawless wasteland, to be fair.

[davidb11]

OKay, so I checked the community artwork section, and I can't see any nudity or anything at all.
So, looks like your reports worked.

Unless I am looking in the wrong section.
But yeah, no nudity scrolling down a lot of the artwork section.
I'll try looking around more later.

You will not see any if you have turned off seeing mature content in your store preferences for the community section.

No minors should have that on as that's a parents responsibility to control this and not a steam issue.

Uh. I have adult only content enabled, as well as mature content enabled.
I have no reason to ever have them disabled.
LEt me do a quick check.

When I turned it off the images they are talking about would no longer be there and this is very common in similar game hubs.

[davidb11]

OH! I see what happened.
For some reason the community tab section under the preferences never got checked on my end.
Whoops!

That is my bad.
I'll go recheck.

Be careful as some game hubs can be "Scary" with those enabled.

[davidb11]

Yeah. Okay. So I can see the Black Widow stuff.
But because it requires you to enable the nudity/adult content filter for community, which I apparently never did, it's very difficult for anyone to see it.
Someone under 18 would have to go out of their way to find that preference and specifically set it up to allow them to see boobs.

And so far, I've only seen boobs.
And I have seen some of those pictures elsewhere before. LOL

As a man who used to be under 18, that's just not something you'll be doing for Steam. :P

Steam is 13+. They don't care about minors like EPIC does yet, it's why they allow porn to be hidden behind content descriptors and filters now for games / hubs SteamArtwork767 WPE Workshop . But I've seen the non game content and even irl UGC too. There is nothing predatory about someone at any age, turning on their content filters to see another users copyright infringements, or illegal UGC from behind filters, that goes for the most part unreported, because people that like that on Steam, don't report it.

They say 24 hours for some content reports. But our own user account data where applicable and shown, and or keeping own records of our own reports show otherwise, or not even not at all.

Reporting Content
If another player is hosting content that is being used in an abusive or inappropriate manner, we encourage players to utilize our reporting system. Reports are reviewed and typically resolved within 24 hours of submission. You will receive a notification if action is taken https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/4F8E-AE41-B6B1-F836.

Now they want reports on AI game infringements https://www.pcgamesn.com/steam/ai-content-reporting that will also tie up report queues too.

How long will it even take them to get to the bottom of Nothing and Something? Valve Time.

Raise your hands if you are tired of reporting store content or user content to Valve. 2024 why don't they do their own jobs already?

Hey Valve, you got your infamous CS Bullets chat room bots positing non stop url scams again today, even after the group has been reported by your users for violating your online conduct policies. GG!

[davidb11]

Too few people at Valve to do all that work.
You'd need to hire a whole lot more to literally monitor everything.
