Appeal description:

I was banned for impersonating a steamrep admin, Vintage Cobra. I didn't do any harm, I didn't try trade scam or middleman scam or anything. Me and my friends were messing around so I changed my name and picture to Vintage Cobra to trick my friend that he was in a lobby with a steamrep admin. So we continue and I forget to change my name back and go to make a trade on the cs go lounge chat because I am a CS:GO trader and someone calls me out on trying to fake being vintage cobra, I tell him that I done no harm and I hadnt scammed anyone and changed my name back straight after.​

Can get my friends to vouch for me.

There is a bit of a hole in your story, because for that you didn't need to change your steam Custom URL.

Hidden Content:

**Hidden Content: Content of this hidden block can only be seen by members of (usergroups: Administrative, Moderating).**

But if they went to check my page on mozilla firefox, internet explorer etc it would show my old custom URL.

Or ingame of course, because thats where we were.

The real vintage cobra does not have a custom url.....

But I had a custom URL before so I did have to change it and it would be more believable if I changed it to vintagecobra?

Hello @Free Swag,

We will require screenshots of all your trades between February 20, 2015 up to now, the point where you upload them on this forum.

As we need the Steam Inventory History of the traded items. We have some requirements to meet, so here's what you need to do.

Required Steam Settings for this exercise:

• Open the Steam Browser by double clicking the steam icon in the tray in lower right corner of your screen.
  
• On top left, open menu "Steam" and select "Settings".
• On the new Settings dialog box, select "Interface" and enable the tick in front of "Display Steam URL address bar when available".
• Click "OK" to close the Steam Settings dialog, applying the setting.

Making the screenshot:

• In the Steam Browser, go to your Inventory, by clicking your Nickname in the top middle and selecting "Inventory"
• On top right, click the "More" button that is shown above the game labels for the various inventories you have, and select "View Inventory History".
  
• Seek the trade that relates to this on the number of pages you have (look below for the requirements).
• Go to the start menu and type in the seek box "snipping", you will find in Vista and later the "Snipping Tool", click it to start it. It directly wants to make a screenshot. Select the full window excluding the very top of the steam browser window where your LOGIN name is shown. But INCLUDE the Nickname, the steam URL bar fully, both sides and full bottom of the steam browser.
  
• Click the "Diskette" icon, or click "File" and then "Save As...", and save it to your desktop.
• Come back here and make a reply.
  
• Drag the image into the reply on the forum from the desktop.

Requirements of the screenshot(s):

• Exclude the Login name and steam wallet amount that is on the very top right.
  
• MUST show the Steam URL in top left.
• MUST show the NICKNAME in top middle.
• MUST show the Steam window fully from left side to the right side of the window.
  
• MUST show the related trade from the day before to up to at least 2 days after the trade or current date if that is earlier.
• MUST show to the bottom of the steam browser window.
  
• You are NOT to edit the screenshot, and NOT to blank out anything.

Also, I want you to cycle nicknames so vintage cobra's nickname isn't shown anymore in this page of your profile:

I cycled nicknames and here are the screenshots.

Also made a trade today for a gut knife, here is the screenshot.

Gave all the proof, when will this be reviewed?

It has been more than a week since I submitted all of the wanted proof, would like this to be reviewed soon so I can get back to betting on CSGO Lounge.

It has been more than a month since I applied to be unbanned and this is still flagged as "Need More Info" Even though I have given all the information required.

Exactly 2 months since I posted this appeal, could it please be reviewed?

Bump

BUMP, has been over 2 months, please help.
