1. There is no such thing as a "pending" ban or Steam admin. Anyone threatening your account is a scammer trying to scare you. Read more.

    I am in no way related to this guy called Aim.
    First of all, I have added him before a very very long time ago and I think he wanted a key from me or so because I was looking to sell a DotA 2 gift.
    This occurred like a year and a half ago, I think.
    I am a legitimate player/trader and I've never scammed anybody before.
    However, it was until recently that I found out that I was flagged as a SteamRep scammer when I tried to sell my items on DotA2WH. I hope the flags can be lifted
    With regards,
    Levine.

    Btw, I think I remember how exactly I was tricked to give him good comments, he said he wanted to give out DotA 2 keys and will randomly pick a winner from the pool of comments. I am in no way related to him and all I wanted was to get a chance to win a DotA 2 key!

    Without the tag being lifted, I cannot use my account on a website called DotA2WH, I really hope the moderators can see this!

    This is my message to a fellow administrator:
    Please review my status!
    I posted a thread regarding my SR Scammer Tag and because of this tag, I am not able to use the system on DotaWH to exchange for items. Moreover, the guy that I gave rep to said that if we gave him the rep, he will put us in a pool of names for a draw to win DotA 2 invite. I was new back then and I didn't know that it was illicit to do that. Now that DotA 2 Lounge implemented the bans based on SteamRep, I am afraid it would affect me more as I use D2L regularly for bets and trades.

    Hi Admins, I wish you guys can understand the predicament I'm in, Dota2Lounge recently released a series of bans for people with malicious tags on SteamRep, personally, I want to appeal to my SR Scammer tag because I really did not know that repping someone and trying to get myself into a pool of names for a draw is illegal.

    To the administrators that governs this forum section, the appeal is getting ridiculously long to process. This thread is dated back a long long awhile ago and still hasn't been resolved yet. As a platform of verification and as a matter of fact, used in many websites that involves DotA 2 trading, if this goes on, I will never be able to trade with other users despite how much I want to be involved in the trading scene.

    Hello [EDL]` Levine,

    Your appeal has been reviewed and your ban will be removed for the following reasons:
    • Time already served as banned for the offense
    • Lack of other reports against your account
    • Lack of written SteamRep policies during the timeframe of the offense(s)
    • Lack of ideal evidence of the offense(s)
    • Low severity of the offense(s)
    • Age of the appeal without admin response
    Although likely, I could not find definitive evidence that you were among the people/alts posting "+rep" comments on the scammer's Steam profile, or if you were that it wasn't for other other plausible reasons than being an alt/partner yourself. Therefore, there is not enough evidence to uphold your tag, even downgraded.

    For future reference, please be mindful about giving "reputation" for trades that did not occur, or in exchange for payment, as this is generally considered fraud. SteamRep no longer accepts reports for fakerep, and does not take Steam profile comments into consideration (both of which apply in your case) but other partner communities may still investigate it or assume you are an alt when combined with other factors.

    And please pay special note to the following point(s):
    #25: Your appeal was granted, what now?
