game showcase and user projects is kinda disabled

More than half of them are new, as in like maybe a month old.

This seems possible... but doesn't explain how NB264 did it, unless he got his developer role revoked?

thanks.

and now this: https://youtu.be/4HB7SCXeKOg will stuck in my head for the rest of the day/night

It just allows for more flexibility. For example, a user might browse "All" once a day, but want to check "Deals" a few times a day to avoid missing out on time sensitive promotions. The separate category allows them to easily do so. It also allows us to highlight deals on the homepage. Or, a user could have no interest in joining a Steam group, so they want to filter out "Group Recruitment" discussions, instead of having them clutter the page. Or, maybe a user is bored, and they feel like solving a puzzle, they can quickly jump to the "Puzzle / Events" category and find one that catches their eye. Or, maybe a user stumbled on an add-on a few months ago but can't recall the name. They could browse "Add-ons / Tools" to quickly find it again.

Back to the topic, I disabled write permissions on the "Game Showcase" and "User Projects" categories until the guidelines are updated because those categories don't align with the current guidelines very well.
