On the 8th of July, I got an Email from Valve. Stating that my Futa Centaur-Unicorn Texturepack have been removed from the Terraria Workshop.
and would be Delelted in 30 Days, Because someone had Repported it and Valve moderator's decided to take it down.
Which were a surprise to me as I though I had followed the rules by using the Community Contant Filter tags
but according to Valve's moderators, no NSFW content is allowed on the some Workshops, despite the Community Contant Filter tags...
In Early 2023 Valave added Community Content Filters were added to all Workshops on Steam.
which include "Mature Content", "Some Nudity or Sexual Themes", "Frequent Nudity or Sexual Themes" and "Adult Only Content".
"Mature Content" will give the user a content notification if they try to enter content with this, they can chose to accept or leave.
"Nudity or Sexual Themes" will give the user a content Warning if they try to enter content with this, they can chose to accept or leave.
"Adult Only Content" will require the user to have this tag on toogle on, in order view and access any content with this tag on the workshops.
Due to the function the Community Tags tags provided, I uploaded my NSFW packs to the Workshop and used the "Adult Only" tag on them
and for 18 Months there were no issues, till now in July....
When I told the Valve moderators why I had uploaded my NSFW content to the Workshop:
People uploading content onto the workshop, both SFW and NSFW packs.
I Reported my Content being Plagiarized onto the Workshop 45+ Times, and Valve staff did nothing about them.
I didn't post my NSFW packs on the Workshop, due to there were no way to make them inaccessible to Minor, (Till the Content Filters came in 2023).
I had to contact Re-Logic to have them handle the take downs of all my Plagiarized content pack on the Workshop.
Which also bothered Re-logic as they noticed my Reports had been dismissed by valve staff.
Despite my reasonings, there were No Acknoledgement of their Inactions of hadeling my Reports... (they were a part of the issue)
No Appoligy nor Reasurence for that matter, that they would do better in the future with Reports of Plagerism... by the Valve staff that i talked with.
This were the reason of the removal, Despite the Community Content Tags that it had:
"Adult Only content is not permitted in non "Adult Only" hubs.
Also, mature content in game hubs that are not content from the base game or if the hub does not allow such content, are also not allowed anymore.
The content in question does not fit the hub it was uploaded to, and thus was removed correctly.".
Which brings into the question; why does the Content filters even excist then?...
and with this tone deaf paragraph:
"Removing content is not something we enjoy doing. It's a difficult trade-off that we have to make in order to keep Steam appropriate for all of our users.
I am sorry that the content had to be removed."
So due to I've had nothing but issues with Valve staff since the Launch of the Terraria workshop on 17th March 2021...
and had 15 Uploads to the workshop within 12 hours
I'm going to Abbandon the Steam-Workshop!
However I will be doing 1 Single compatability update for Terraria 1.4.5
I won't be adding new sprites aisde new Armor/Vanity sets for my Player sprites
However No new packs to the workshop, Those will only be Released here on my website and on the Terraria Forums (SFW only).
Unlike Valve, Re-Logic have been nothing but Stellar to help me with my headaches and issues with the Steam-Workshop.
So please don't give Re-Logic any headache over this, as they had nothing to do with this.
and to those of you that had not refrained from Uploaded my Content to the Workshop without my permision for the last 18 Months, Thank You! ♥
