    I believe that my ban is invalid. Me and The Hash Slinging Slasher( http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198040606089 ) never traded for anything. The code i got was from portal 2 which i got for the playstation 3, at the time they were giving codes with them for a steam version. I had thought it was still valid and i thought i could sell it. I don't understand why i have this SR Scammer tag when i never traded for anything. Thank you for your time and please get back to me as soon as possible.

    it is risky, but Hash knew he was trading for a code, there was a agreement and he knew the codes were not apart of steam conditions of trade. since we never traded, it seems like nothing happened. technically it was a mistake by me.

    If the code did work he could have scammed me and ran off.

    Me and Hash both knew this was a risky trade, nothing was traded, if you check the screenshot taken on the proof you will see he wanted me to go first( he could have attempted to scam me )

    I acknowledge that the trade itself was risky, and that there was no way of checking if the code was valid; the expiration date was not known at the time. As an honest mistake and in hindsight, I should have checked if the expiration date has been passed. But since no items were traded, I still believe that my mark of a scammer stands as obsolete. If the code were to be valid, he could of ran off. No other trades I have done, were scams. I consider it more of a mistake than an attempt at a scam, cause I was uninformed that the code was not valid. If you believe otherwise, than I also want to apologize for this mistake. So please, if you were to rethink my position of my +rep, or get the possibility of regaining my clean rep, I would not try to do trades out of the Steam conditions, similar to this one. Yet again, I thank you for your time, and have a good day.

    I bought games which were codes, i always make the person with the code go first before giving them the items, you attempted to scam him, he realised before trading items and you buggered off, you knew you were scamming him

    from what has happened, i was banned for a mistake i made and why should a person be banned by a mistake if every one makes mistakes.

    There are far more worse things that happen that people get banned for, so i don's see why i should be banned because of a mistake

    And there was no attempt of scamming if i gave him the code first before anything. He never gave me any items so no trade happened, i never scammed him.


    Also i would not scam any one and have had good behavior since the ban. I pay for items by their listed price and don't try to lowball. i am always paying bp.tf price for regular items and i even pay market price for unusuals.

    I really really have a hard time considering this since you dont seem to understand what you did was wrong and is still attempting to scam. Are your views still the same as when you made this appeal?

    so sorry about the wait, never expected a response. I do know what i did was wrong and have really changed my ways. I honestly stopped trading as of late because of school and life in general but that doesn't change a thing. what i did was wrong and i am truly sorry for it.

    My whole view on trading and scammers/scamming has really changed since the time of this appeal post.

    Hi there, Sorry for the delay in responding to this appeal. After a review of the original report and appeal I have decided to downgrade your tag to a caution. You have been given a exceedingly rare second chance since you did commit the offense, make sure you do not try anything like that again.
