    Appeal for BANNED BY SR

    Steam profile: 76561198021761002 (Smash The House)

    Appeal Plea: I committed the offense(s), I admit it
    Appeal Reason: [Change of Heart] I will never scam again.
    Victim Repayment: No, but I will repay. I need help finding the victim(s)
    Previous Appeals: No, this is my first appeal here

    Alternate Accounts:


    Appeal description:
    I shouldn't have done what I did, never done it again and never will. I'm older, I'm wiser and I would like to get myself unbanned.

    p.s. for the next time please make it possible to react on your own thread so you can tell you have changed your Steam settings, no need to create a new appeal like this while the 'problem' could've been solved with 1 click (profile for 'friends only' to 'public').​

    Can't add the guy because he, obviously, blocked me. Tried to contact him through Steam, tried asking him to add me, but no response.

    Hello @Smash The House,

    Appeals which do not comply will directly be archived. Our experience is that often people aren't willing to comply with our rules for appeals once we found these to not comply to them. Its then faster and easier for us to just archive and let them retry then go wait b4 they MAY comply.

    I'm not sure why your appeal was not moved to a subforum yet, so I did move it.

    Read this topic: http://forums.steamrep.com/threads/appeal-tips.66354/
    And please pay special note to the following point(s):
    #4: Watch your appeal thread
    #8: Public profile, public backpack on ALL your accounts.
    #9: Pay back the victim
    #11: Only one appeal.
    #12: Basic appeal procedure.
    #15: Bumping your appeal.
    #16: Time-frame of appeals
    #20: Status of your appeal.

    I Talked with the victim, and he tells he had not blocked you. Apparently you have blocked him. You need to unblock him before you can add him.

    That's weird because I have nobody on my block list since I never block someone.

    'Blocked Users'

    'You have not blocked anyone'

    Is it possible to get a solution? I'm already getting 5 friend requests a day because my profile is now public. I would like to change it to private/friends only again.

    Well you've not tried hard enough to pay the victim back, so there is no solution and you will have to wait with your profile public. If you take it off public to private the appeal will likely be auto deny. Your choice to either put more effort into paying back the victim AND continue to keep your profile public or abandon the appeal and live with the tag for being impatient.

    Like I said, I have nobody blocked and the so said victim doesn't reply. How else am I able to contact him? This website is able to ban people in mere seconds but when you want to get unbanned it takes a month? If a month is 'impatient' yeah sure go ahead, but I have 40 euros for the victim ready to give, but if he doesn't reply to my message and I haven't blocked him in any way, I can't think of something else...

    Find a friend or two friends to help you, add the victim. Go the extra mile and as for the unban you are not guaranteed to get unbanned no matter when you appeal and each appeal can take weeks if not longer to process to investigate everything. Appealing right after you are tagged and getting it removed in say a few weeks/month or even a few months isn't really going to apply any punishment in many cases either. Paying back the victim is also just a requirement to process the appeal, no guarantee that the ban will be lifted and that is stated on the Appeals FAQ.

    So as I suggested... find some friends to help you put, Silent already added the person to see if you were blocked on their end and you are not. It is up to you to go that extra distance and put in the work to get the appeal to move along.

    Like I said, I have nobody blocked and I can screenshot it if it's needed. The only thing here that needs to happen is he removing me from a ignore/blocked list so I can add him or he can add me. If there's no movement in this case this weekend I'll just close it myself, shouldn't be this hard to give someone 40 euros.

    So first you close a thread of mine because my profile wasn't public, something you could've asked and keep my thread open. So I HAD to open another thread. You already took the time to reply here and now you and the other guy are throwing around with 'rules'. I'm a full grown man who wants to take responsibility of what a younger me has done.

    Like I already said, I haven't blocked anyone and the problem is most probably at victim's end (ignored/blocked). It shouldn't be this hard to give someone the 40 euros he/she deserves.

    And to add on further note, I've posted a message on his Steam page a couple of days ago. This message has been removed and the victim set his page to the settings so it's not possible to post a message if you're not a friend.

    Hello @Smash The House,

    You waited long enough to start repaying/doing a appeal. I'll oblige you and reject the appeal.
