I would love if Valve made a rule against these spam guides (lemmy.world)

Have you tried pressing the report button? Idk if there's an explicit rule against it but maybe if these are reported often enough someone at Valve will begin to care. Kinda like how they eventually banned games using a new update or prize as their primary banner image and tagline on the store page.

Edit: If nothing else the one here is definitely dishonest in the category and language tags. That's probably grounds for removal.

I've reported hundreds of these stupid things because I use guides somewhat regularly. I think they've deleted like four? They do notify you when they take action, but it's incredibly uncommon.

I mean.... That's more than 0. Thank you for your service.

I used to in the past but I don't believe there are any rules against it and I haven't seen any taken down.

Lying about category and language tags seems like decent justification for a report.
