bad steam link
A post whose source is a direct link to a Steam image, rather than to the Steam post (or other page) containing the image. These are considered bad links because there's no way to find the original Steam post from the image link.
If you see this warning while uploading, it means you should paste the link to the Steam post on the upload page, not the image itself.
