    Hi @NoFlame

    Sorry for the delay, as you may know we announced some major policy changes for 2016, which are especially relevant in your case. As it turns out, both our handling of defunct partner community tags, as well as retroactive repeal of the trading-with-scammers rule, apply to your case. Unfortunately, it appears that some of the logistics for handling defunct tags caused what should have been an immediate grant to slip through the cracks and get filed away for later handling as a defunct tag, without reviewing the reason.

    I have granted your appeal and removed the tag for the following reasons:
    • Trading with scammers is no longer a taggable offense, and this applies retroactively
    • Defunct community tag, with missing evidence
    For the future, be very careful and open/honest in your transactions, and keep good records of large transactions in case there are any disputes.
