    @Shadow #1 Can you please re-take a couple of those pictures? We need a screenshot of the accused's profile with the URL bar visible, and a new screenshot of the trade offer with your mouse hovered over their profile picture.

    Thanks for your report, this should be ready for an admin to review.

    By the way, is that red text warning coming from Steam, or is it a browser plugin?

    And here I got my hopes up for a new user-awareness Steam feature... alas. At least it warns people when they ready up the trade I guess...
