Yes, I also think people could misuse a regular chat by sending links to virus downloads and other shit.
I think it's people's own responsibility to decide who they choose to associate with and deal with the possibility of having to deal with such situations.

but sometimes you have to deal with strangers on steam for some reasons, like giveaways, trading and other stuff

So we can send nudes via steam?
Future is now.
But seriously. While i like improvements - isn't it too much? This "gaming platform" looks more and more like some social site.
Comment has been collapsed.
It always was a social site. It's called steamcommunity for a reason.
Comment has been collapsed.
Maybe you are right. I just always thought that I have better ways to communicate with others than using steam. And treated "steamcommunity" only as something useful when I wanted to play multiplayer. Maybe valve has bigger plans than that.

More options to interact with ppl that aren't part of your regular platforms

Misuse? Everybody on my FL is a friend so I trust them. Maybe you need to delete some friends if you worried about getting bad links or (WTH thats so bad) nudes -.-
Comment has been collapsed.
At least you do, I don't trust all of my 315 steam friends
Comment has been collapsed.
mmm, I don't know maybe I don't care really about who is on my friendlist on steam as I don't have a lot of private information there
Comment has been collapsed.
Hmm... Maybe you're from 95, from that info i searched my database and discovered that... Your name is Ahmad and you're from Damascus, Dimashq, Syrian Arab Republic.
I have other info that i'll not share here, but never challenge Xéroque Holmes again.

You left out the best bit! He likes to dress up like winnie the pooh and eat honey while watching tv in his living room.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, nothing special like my phone number,where I really live in Damascus, what do I study or work, and most importantly my face picture and my last name
What do you mean btw by I am from 95?

I'm tempted to add you as a friend to irrevocably change your mind. Also scar you for life.
Most nuds are bad nuds.
Comment has been collapsed.
mmmm, I don't care usually who is on my steamfriendlist unless they are scammers
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah there are so many other ways, But I meant send them to strangers, as so many people (like me for example don't really care who is on their friendlist)

Nudes over internet are a complete misuse of sexuality. I don't get those who prefer to lose their times with virtual things than real ones. Said by someone who is not me.
I think that everywhere people can share their data, people can also commit illegal stuffs of many sources. Valve should be aware of that.
Please people, don't send nudes for your gaming friends.
Comment has been collapsed.
When the one that send me nudes question me before that it is ok for me when the nudes show a woman that pleasure my eyes^^
When i get nudes that i don't want i can report the sender, i can block the sender or ignor the sendings. Or a combination of them
So i don't think that many will abuse it at the contact with ME :o)

But the damage would be already done as you have seen the picture already
Comment has been collapsed.
With regard to nudes, it's just a naked body or body part. It's not a malicious computer virus, or a stab wound, or a gunshot wound, or a broken bone, or other serious injury. There's unlikely to be any lasting damage beyond the initial reaction of, "Eww, gross!"
I mean, I've seen some nasty images on the internet that have haunted me for years, but those had nothing to do with nudity, and those could have been just as easily sent to people with a text of "Hey, check out this cool picture: http://bit.ly/WhatAreYouDoingDontClickMeYouFool"
Comment has been collapsed.
I know but usually they say girls got effected badly by such things.
Comment has been collapsed.
Not because of a single image, but more because it's a constant pattern of behaviour.
You get one dick pick, you brush it off as an asshole and move on. You get a dozen dick picks, you start questioning your view of society, and whether you even want anyone online to know that you're female.

Wasn't the internet invented for sending nudes? ;)
Comment has been collapsed.
I see, I don't care about nudes actually despite the fact probably no body would send me one
But some people would do especially girls
Comment has been collapsed.
Yup but the damage would be already done as you have seen the picture
Comment has been collapsed.
If you add anyone that sends you a request, then what can you expect?
Eventually you're going to get a numbnuts or two, and probably a picture of his numb nuts (or two).
If you're more selective about your friends, I'd say it probably won't happen.
Comment has been collapsed.
I see thanks, but sometimes you have to deal with strangers on steam like traders, people related to giveaways and some others
Comment has been collapsed.
Anything other than nudes though?
I've never gotten the issue with nudes. I get when women don't want them and I think the people who just send unsolicited nudes, but it's not like it's some awful thing that you'll have negative consequences for seeing. Just unfriend them, call them a moron and move on with your life.
But of course, you can also write awful stuff, so as usually, with any form of communication, there's bound to be opportunities for abuse.
Comment has been collapsed.
I see but usually pictures could be more effective than words
Comment has been collapsed.
Something like that has been around for so long (not on steam but other places) like skype. Dangerous world but unfortunately you can't tell what's what until they ask the dumb question, you gotta pic? lol. But you would think people sending nudes via a game chat or some form of it would freak out cause what if the screen shot it and make fun of that person? XD
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh damn didn't think about it
that would be a big revenge

According to a comment here: Add this to the Steam client launch options and restart it: -nofriendsui
