Watch everyone report any game their favorite lets player doesn't like.
I can see this being abused.
Oho, I wonder how many people would report Postal 2 as Offensive. :v:

There will probably be some kind of repercussion for repeatedly abusing the system like having your account banned or something
Hopefully these things are carefully monitored so legitimately good games don't get taken down.
Watch everything competitive-multiplayer become a source of malicious "Child Exploitation" reports.
And watch Valve start sanctioning accounts for abusing the reporting feature. :v:

Suddenly Gone Home is showered in "Defamatory" and "Offensive" reports
Few days later.
"Valve removes reporting system for games."
We needed this for War Z
I report users, mostly phishers and I've noticed that the report system works all right, it's slow but it does...
Watch valve use reports to guide their investigations, watch nobody getting banned for sending false reports about games they don't like, watch russians get banned for using 1000 bots to report a game they don't like.
this is going to be a haven for abuse, i can see it now.
I can imagine some right wing organization making a bunch of steam accounts to they can spam flags on every big mainstream game that comes out where a character gets so much as a nosebleed.
Time to report every dating sim for child exploitation, offensive, and adult content
praise jesus!
Usually these kinda systems only recognize report tendencies over longer periods of time, not bursts, so I doubt it's gonna be easy to abuse.
Personally out of all of those, Harmful and Fraud seem the most relevant reasons to have, since malware is terrible even without it being backed by the NSA cyber-terrorist group, and we've seen a fair few games out there that we could see as fraud like The War Z.
Regardless, this has the biggest abuse potential ever.

aren't you describing left wing organisation behaviour though?

Games reported for cis scum.
They probably won't do anything to accounts that abuse it, although they might privately discard some reports, like ones for games that they've already looked into due to past reports, or games they already know aren't violations of any kind.

Just report them for fraud because they keep making me give them my credit card information.
Wouldn't it simply be better to hire fifteen people to vet games from greenlight?
Time to report Ride to Hell: Retribution as harmful
some of these categories i find really conflicting with me because i just want to say "who cares if that shit is in a game? it's a game. what someone wants to put in what is essentially their artistic expression is their own choice assuming it's not hurting anyone" but then again valve are trying to run a business here so whatever
What about for games that don't work / are extremely broken and not even in alpha?
Theres a game that doesn't even have an .exe so literally no one can play it.
i can see tumblr abusing this

She means the Jack Thompson kind of republican nut who thinks that video games are selling kids to the devil or some inane nonsense like that. Far left soccer moms can't operate more then their SUV and a cell phone, let alone make a steam account and report a game on it. :v:

maybe for the consumer, not for valve. user control leads to abuse but it also leads to less money going into hiring employees to make sure games are okay
I guess Rust won't last much longer then.
I guess you could classify "this game is not sold as advertised" (ie: WarZ, Legends of Pegasus) as "legal violation", but that seems like a glaring hole in this whole thing.
