    Hello @General Zod 2,

    It's important that everyone understand that SteamRep is a small volunteer organization helping a 75-million member community. Not every report will receive a response (and definitely not always right away). Not even Valve can handle all of the community's reports and they have incredible income. We're definitely not going to be able to do the same level of investigation on every individual report and you shouldn't expect that. Even if we tripled our staff, there's simply no volunteer group that can handle such volume and the growth in this scene. (Gone are the days of a mere dozen trade servers to monitor and an in-game TF2 trade window.)

    We prioritize reports for investigation based on a number of factors-- we will publish those after our staff finishes rounding out some of the priorities and we run them by our partner admins. We'll also be updating the scam report form to set expectations accordingly for new submitters.

    One key thing we prioritize for investigation, though, is the quantity of scam reports submitted against an account. By submitting a report against a repeat offender, you help ensure they do get banned as quickly as possible through the community and provide guidance to other traders on your experience with them. SteamRep provides a public capture of these reports so traders can educate themselves and do better research even if each report can't be analyzed right away. We feel it's better to have these situations logged rather than lost entirely (e.g. if you report a violation on Steam, it helps Valve know quantities, but may not help traders understand what actually happened so they can make their own decisions to protect themselves).

    Hi guys, I have 2 things.
    @SIVARTZ same type of thing happened to me, i made a report also. This guy, Illuminati who scammed both of us has at least 4 associated alt accounts, and that's from what I saw. On my post, I put a picture of one of them, the one that made the post that I saw on backpack.tf.
    The second thing is, I'd also like to thank you guys, because it is a great community site, and hopefully it keeps helping people avoid the scum like Illuminati.
    (Note i put the picture of the backpack.tf link that has the alt account name, and how it says to go to Illuminati, and i linked the pic of the alt account profile)
