    Appeal description:
    First and foremost, the origin of my SteamRep ban is Mann Co. Trading (MCT), which can no longer be reached to appeal an MCT ban. I was informed to appeal my ban here on SteamRep from this thread about a similar issue; Ref: http://forums.steamrep.com/threads/steam-rep-apeal.121845/#post-339314.

    As of today, circa 1,548 days (4 years and 3 months) have passed since the incident. In subsequent, I have matured from the ignorant child I was. The small offense of Spycrab running I had engaged in four years ago tarnished my reputation, even four years after occurring. Being an avid trader back then and having nearly all trade servers and useful trading websites unavailable to SteamRep banned players was devastating, it made me take a long break from TF2 and Steam trading. It made me regret what I had done deeply and appreciate what I had, even affecting trading sites outside of TF2 such as CS:GO Lounge. Years later after hearing news about SteamRep's change to their Trading with Scammer Policy, I decided to try trading seeing as it would not harm other players by spreading a SteamRep ban to their account. I found a TF2 Trading server I was not banned from and was filled with nostalgia as I traded and played for hours. Remembering back, I was sure that the player I had refused to give my item of interest to after being beaten at Spy Crabbing was very disappointed to the point of reporting me; I'm sure I would've been if I were in his situation. If I could go back in time to fix what I had done, I would in an instant, even without knowing that I would get a SteamRep ban if I didn't. If that player is still around and wants whatever item I had offered him years back, I would be more than happy to get hold of one to give to him. Notably, I do not remember who this player was or what item I had scammed him out of. I have been through a lot on this account and I don't want to that up give up and create a new one to start fresh with the sentimental value it has to me. I am truly sorry for what I had done, I have regretted it for the past four years, and I solemnly swear to never take part in the scamming of another player ever again.​

    Also! I have changed my name to the following: "Keet (On Vacation - 3 weeks)" if that is important since my current steam name was a requirement for the appeal.
    I will be changing my name back to "Keet" after I return from my trip.
