Could there be a filter in SG for giveaways on games with the "Nudity" Steam tag?

To be more specific, I would support SG having a filter comparable to Steam's "Nudity or Sexual Content" filter for mature content, which basically amounts to detection of any game with either of those two tags, or at minimum "Sexual Content". If SG just hid the thumbnails that would go a long way to the NSFW issue you mention.

Note that I'm not suggesting these be blocked or banned from SG, just that the option to filter them out be there for those that want to use it.

That's an interesting idea. I wonder if cg could implement a filter that included those type of games and have it set to default for anyone who joins the site. If a user wanted to view those type of giveaways all they would have to do is "opt in" from the settings page.

Having those giveaways have a NSFW filter that blurs out the title image on the main page could be another option.

Ah shit, here we go again.

Would be nice to easily find them, otherwise you have to go through tons of useless games with no furry girls and who has time for that.

(please don't take it personally, cause it really isn't)

you should poll your employer about this, not SG

+:P

I don't mind seeing the games, but I can definitely understand why some people would want to block them. I don't know about coding websites, but it doesn't seem like it would be too difficult to block games based on a tag. Maybe SG can do it in a way where it only checks once per game and then keeps a permanent mark on the SG server for those games so that it doesn't have to pull the info from Steam every time a user views giveaways.

Give me hentai or give me death.

My vote is a mix of the first 2 options:

"Yes, this filter should exist, though I personally don't need it."

:D

I don't mind seeing 'adult' giveaways but I think it that if possible people should have the option of opting out of mature content.

Interesting idea. I wouldn't use the filter but I see why many would like it.

You can filter out everything you want with ESGST

View attached image.

See above and i would advice to use that option because i don't think that cg will program much for a dying site and if he do something it gave much more important stuff to do, that are requested since years...

You forgot the poll option for doing some crazy shit like actually working when you're at work.

For me, the problem is not about the sexual content itself. It's one problem to some people, but there is more.

The problem is the general lack of quality standards in Steam catalog. More and more crappy puzzle games, visual novels, platformers and others, lazy and worthless imitation of games. I'm not bashing any game category by the way, I'm talking about games like these SFW links:

Example 1
Example 2
Example 3
Example 4
Example 5

There are plenty of other examples. Most of the similar games are barely disguised pornographic "games". But you can't rely on Steam tags to filter out efficiently by "nudity" without also missing some awesome games like Witcher.

Did anyone ever suggest a system of Steamgifts users-maintained tags? Such as: family friendly, extreme violence, nudity, mature content, pornographic, etc.... And a tag for worthless trash games! Something balanced: as few tags as possible should exist so they mean something, but as many as it takes to make them useful enough.

Personally, I would only filter out "worthless trash games" like those above and their sexual copies, all gone. Like with the "ignore game" button, checking a box or clicking a button while browsing Steamgifts for available GA would let everyone contribute to the system.

Once X quantity of "checks" have been reported on a game, a system like Steamtrades' Vote on Reviews would allow the community to confirm if the game deserves the tag. Access to this final vote could potentially be restricted to some voluntary users to avoid abuse of the system.

I wouldn’t care either way.
What I thought we need though is a Software, Video, VR filter.

I think it would not be a bad idea for people who want it.
I personally usually hide that kind of game. It's still wouldn't be a bad thing to have a filter since it does happen once in while that I'll be on SG and my kids are around. I'd rather they don't see that stuff.
Although the filter on Steam is not the best so I'm not sure using it would be the best solution.

+1 for a VR filter

Hide ---> Yes. Done. You really can't do that?

no filters
just dont enter such giveaways
dont enter randomly and only enter games you really want to play

I imagine there would be an issue with unintentionally hiding the many games which users have incorrectly labelled as containing sex and nudity just for the lulz...

I don't think we need those filters on SG. If you mind your co-workers seeing those games' images on your screen, don't browse SG while at work. If private use of the internet is allowed at your work place, I don't see any harm in the images and titles of those games displayed on SG's main page. I assume that you and your co-workers are all adults, so they should live when seeing "Furry Girls".

Not sure what there is to gain. The store pages already have the age check. and if you dont even care enough to look a game up you dont know obviously, why would you care about any filters. and if its to not see such a store page work / whatever than simply stop at the age check.
