Hello,

Edit thank to PriorPtoject I discovered the modlog : https://sopuli.xyz/modlog?page=1&actionType=ModRemovePost&userId=1683334

I recently posted a tutorial to pirate on steamdeck which was removed.

I checked th rule and it doesn't appear to be forbidden are the rules out of date or did I miss a rule ?

Tutorials on how to use and install the legal side of emulators are allowed, it’s when you encroach on copyright that things become a problem. Piracy is not allowed.

Do not post links to sources of copyrighted materials.

Pictures of your Deck running software never published to PC are questionable. My biggest problem with /r/steamdeck is how it made me feel like I joined a bad faith community by buying the device.

There are a handful of moderators and we discuss as a group before we take action. I am not the only voice, so you may opt to wait for others to comment.

Thanks for the reply.

I didn't link to anything, maybe it is because I mentioned two repackers.

I explained how to combine tools included in the deck (more precisely in package manager ) to be able to get pirated games.

But I guess that was to close of the border.
