To all the people uploading anime gifs and meme pictures to random game hubs

[Squire Grooktook]

It's not funny. It's annoying. Cut it out. And I'm gonna start reporting every one of these images that I see.

If you REALLY wanna display these images on your profile (though I have no idea why you would, this is a GAMING community and service, if you want image sharing go to tumblr or ♥♥♥♥♥ or something like that), just put a text file or non steam game into your library and upload your images to that.

It's not that I care about the rules so much or anything like that, I just really, really, really don't wanna see unfunny meme garbage from ♥♥♥♥♥ or gifs of some generic flavor of the month anime chick every time I click the hub of a game I like. Just because the hub is inactive doesn't mean that no one plays the game and that you have an excuse to treat it like your personal DeviantArt or Tumblr page.

So please, stop.

*edit* how the heck is a certain website starting with "4" and ending with a Japanese honorofic censored?

It would be nice in principle but:

A. This is a gaming service, not an image-upload website
B. People wouldn't use it, they'd just stick their stuff in the most popular hubs

Just keep on reporting them, if people upload too much spam then temporary community bans will be issued.

Wrong.

Steam is more than just a gaming service now. Steam has been trying harder and harder to make itself a prominent social platform. The concept of introducing hubs and discussions easily proves that, not to mention all the shoehorning on customizing players profiles that's been added recently with backgrounds and showcases.

A large portion of the people that upload artwork that you guys are whining about do it because they want to display it on their profile. People like displaying things on their profile for their friends to see. The only way for them to do that is to add it as artwork to a game then use the artwork showcase.

Also, your unfounded claim that people wouldn't use a general hub is exactly as I said, unfounded. People just want a place to upload their stuff for social reasons, they only upload it to non-relevant game hubs is because there is literally no other place to upload it.

Why isn't there a way to simply add artwork without adding it to a specific game? That would solve a big portion of the problem right there. Nobody else has to see it unless they share it with others privately.

Uhm, no it hasn't. From the short time I've been on Steam I can tell you it hasn't. It has more emphasiz on stuff like Groups which are similar to clan pages on a CoD game or whatever, but it's all very basic and bland stuff. There has been an increase in making your profile look the way you want it but that's not what the Artwork Showcase or Screenshot Showcase was meant to be used, and it very clearly states before uploading something to the Artworks section that you MUST have created the artwork yourself - grabbing a gif from Google images or off a video is NOT making it yourself, if anything the latter is stealing. Steam is a monetary platform and this by some companies (some mind you) can be seen easily (since Steam itself decides not to do anything about it) as pilfering, remember that to get these showcases some degree of money is needed (games for cards, items etc) which can lead companies to believe that Steam IS monetizing THEIR work similar to how Megaupload was perceived to allow piracy even though it was the user's fault and uploads that destroyed it and landed the creator on prison - therefore this Artwork nonsense COULD and I mean could, do a LOT more harm than good if the wrong person on a really deuchebaggy company gets wind of it.

Now I agree and suggested a general artworks tab, which is what honestly should be added so they have like an Art page similar to NG where people can upload their stuff worry free, however NG and DevArt have a 'FanArt" Categorization within their art pages, Steam has not. And you know what? If there's no relevant place to upload general artwork, why doesn't somebody just freaking post that as a suggestion instead of plaguing Game Hubs with dumb memes and animu-tarded gifs? I've even seen people repeatedly post these images on different hubs and have em removed almost every time only to post it on a separate Hub instead of ASKING Steam for a general tab. Think of that. There's literally no excuse why you find the lesser popular games plagued with unrelated "artworks".

Mang, Looks like you recently got found out, reported and searched the dang Steam Boards looking for people to blame lol. You shouldn't be uploading things that have NOTHING to do with the game. Also, the little Agreement thing you need to click and agree to asks you if you OWN the content, of course that content isn't yours, you don't own it, so why are you breaking an agreement upon uploading lol?

Either way, just let this thread die already and move on.

It's not their fault that you don't know how the Artwork section is properly handled.

It's not an anime hate thread. If the artwork being uploaded is in an Anime fashion, that's perfectly fine.

What the OP is getting at is anime pictures and meme pictures being uploaded as "Artwork" when in actuality they have nothing to do with the game in question.

This thread is atleast a month old by now, someone actually dug this thread up and used a Phoenix Down for no discernable reason. And I personally can't stand these dumb anime flavour of the month gifs going around in my damn Games pages, Ninja Blade particularly was filled to the brim with it a while ago. Steam really should make a "General Artworks" hub for this.

EDIT: Or atleast make a "Gif" uploader for profiles as a showcase itself.

And in that case, report them for not being about the game!

I did, and with the same speed and intensity they are deleted, they are re uploaded.

Users who consistantly re-upload previously taken down images lose the ability to post artwork.

Just stop all gifs from animating, this is why we can't have nice things.
