The screenshots were all made private because they contained personal information; if you'd like to see them I can show them to you after removing the private info.

Oh sorry, didn't know that it contained private info. Thank you for correcting my wrong and yes, please show them.

But one more thing. A report actually takes months for an admin to review but this one only took 7 minutes. Can you please say something about this please?

we do newest first in general with reports. To catch the currently active ones. if we did oldest first, then all would certainly be outdated.

Another question, the 'Research Tools', is there anyway to always have them show up as closed? I'm lazy and hate having to close it manually in case I forget to do it while checking someone's profile. (Unless this is a beta that's about to get taken away, as YATO mentioned.)

Question: What kind of scam is this?

Victim said 'nigerian like'. Technically, he tried to scam the victim by part bribe/part sob-story about needing to buy human organs. I looked up 'Nigerian like' and found 419 scams.

Per Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/419_scams
Per US FBI: http://www.fbi.gov/scams-safety/fraud

I love that I can double/triple post without getting in trouble, since you can't edit your posts. should say 'scam the victim by part bribe me'.

It should remember the last "setting". ie: if you open it, it will show as open next time, if you close it...
Its for the "deciders" out there... that know if they want it opened or not. For undecided ppl, well we could hide it per default, but then 50%

The sob story as linked in my reply seemed to be very pushy, other than the fact he pretty much tried to bribe me for a cut of the sale.

In layman's terms, what is the proper scam type called, if not 419/nigerian scam? Other Scams seems to be very vague, I am asking about the reasons listed here, other than the obvious #15. http://forums.steamrep.com/pages/faq/

Double or nothing.

I assume if I nuke my cookies, it'll reset to the closed position? Gotta remember to close it then. Like how it seemed, at least to me, loading faster when the Research Tools is closed.

Got some good stuff going on here, love it.

NEXT QUESTION:

Billion Dollar one. When are you guys gonna hire more peeps to help with the backlog? Feels like I only see certain individuals active.

You're free to apply, you probably would get accepted too, lol.

Go to bed. You're answering all my questions faster than my mind can understand them.

Well, that speaks for you... One fool can ask more questions then 7 wise man can answer.... If I can keep up, that is a good sign

Lets see if one of you can answer this one.

This guy sent me an invite: http://steamrep.com/profiles/76561198095962583

Which lead to be rejected because I'm no longer going to ask/point out fake MMs on other people's friends list as if they found me, they should know about it...but anyways, he had this person, http://steamrep.com/profiles/76561198128332356 who is already banned by REDDIT for impersonating (AND STILL IS ) who then led me to this.

http://steamcommunity.com/groups/d2lmiddleman

Need I ask, if this group is legit/affiliated with your 'Friends' over at D2L? Given how CSGOL is going, going, going to hell, was wondering, what's up?
http://forums.steamrep.com/threads/dota2lounge-com.43953/#post-129401

So to summarize, what is the proper course of action for a hub city for fake MMs? I highly doubt D2L knows about it and should they know, I doubt further that they care, but given the fact the group leader is posing as three different MMs...anyway to shut them down besides giving the ban hammer via SR tags?

Can I request for both users above you to be banned?

I do not agree. The best preparation for tomorrow is to sleep well the night in between. What you do today, does not have to do anything with what you do tomorrow.

No response to my question?

RIP thread.

Another question!

I thought you guys didn't accept fake rep vouchers anymore, per: http://forums.steamrep.com/threads/notice-changes-to-investigation-policy.47952/

Still listed as a possible scam report reason:

Here's yet another question.

How high on the totem pole are impersonation reports? Been making quite a few of them and its getting to the point its more of a pain in the ass to file than it is to get the victim to do it.

I remember someone mentioning that reports related to admins and middlemen were 'higher' on the queue but I can't recall where. Something about where the REAL person was tagged as 'Accused' instead of the fake. I could be mistaken. (That and I'm seeing my Pending/Review tag count higher than Accepted/Rejected.)

I would like to ask a question for the Steam Rep Staff.....
What does it feel like being a Steam Rep Administrator / Moderator?

Like a prolonged SM session that takes years, and unfortunately NOT as the dominatrix...

It just hurts to read all those reports and appeals and do that work on them.
