What are the rules for posting mature content and how does the mature content filtering work on community content?

[Knorssman]

how is content tagged as mature? is it done by the person uploading it or is it purely an automated system? what should be done if it appears that mature community content is untagged? what are the boundaries?

are there any restrictions globally about users posting mature content on steam groups? are moderators expected to remove mature content unless its tagged? Is mature content able to be posted anywhere as long as its tagged?

I read the FAQ and it just says don't circumvent the mature content preferences system, but what does that mean in the context of community posted content? (not game devs lying about game content) https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/6862-8119-C23E-EA7B

If you aren't posting on a mature content flagged game hub, you are subject to moderation for posting it. period

Undefined.

Something can go years on the front page without being touch, and something else might offend some rando mod and get instant banned.

And even game rated T for Teen regularly have porn uploaded to their community hubs without repercussions.

I am a very literal person. I take things literally.
I don't believe there is a rule for it. It's just ridiculous.
I do not make "immature content." It's just content.
You cannot use a word such as "mature" for content. Because content is not a living being, and it cannot be mature or immature, because it doesn't grow, and it is not alive.

…. intended for or restricted to adults, especially by reason of explicit sexual content or the inclusion of violence or obscene language ….

Hope the intended usage will be a bit clearer for you now!

If you want, you can just flag all your content as "mature content." It will not be restricted, and you can just access it via a web browser without having to log-in.
Only by marking it as "adult-only" it will be restricted.
In my opinion "mature content" simply means that it's not childish. So unless you post something stupid or unrefined, it could be mature content.

Mature content doesn't mean that it's harmful for a 3-year old to look at. It just means that it's not made for 3-year olds. Meaning, if you're looking for something made for a 3-year old, it's probably not that. Not because it's dangerous for kids, but they may simply have difficulties understanding or playing it. Because it uses complicated words or themes.

Street Fighter 6 is rated T for Teen, and it has porn uploaded to its artwork section.

Reporting pornography to me won’t achieve much.

Reporting out to valve doesn’t either

I mean, if you're intentionally being vulgar and unpleasant in nature to the point where other people aren't comfortable (and not just a disagreement), with the content

Also, anyone on a steam community hub for a mature rated should be at least 17yo.

If not, then at least be honest with parents about the game. If they approve, then you still need to understand that if you're on the internet discussing a mature rated game, you will likely run into more adult oriented conversations, and all that content is not rated by the ESRB. They always put a disclaimer on online play

I couldn’t locate the Street Fighter Six sex in the hub.

For example, if your text contains the word "piston," it may be flagged as General Mature Content, simply because most immature people do not know what a piston is.

Crying because you have to log in to see some games AND complaining they aren't "censoring" enough. You really just out yourself as someone with no REAL issue you just want to crap on steam lmao

[AustrAlien2010]

Well, it makes sense does it not? If your content contains complicated linguistic structures or difficult technical jargon, it's clearly not made for 12-year olds. Because they won't understand it, and would have to ask questions about it, and therefor it's considered general mature content.

[PaulKrawitz]

I like to believe that as long as you add the proper tags to censor the content it should be fine...

[RSebire]

Mature content?
What like? Poetry?
