How it Feels to be Marked with a Scammer Tag [Team Fortress 2: Stories of a Former Trader]

Its a bear trap on your ankle. Unfortunately... mine went off after having stepped on it 5 years ago. Mine won't come out, I've been marked for almost a year.

If anyone was in the situation that I was in when this all started, don't even bother. Its hell down here, what I did brought me here and I am paying my price for what happened.

They just "lock you up and throw away the key" see your appeal and add it to the pile of Pending Appeals. If I could go back and change anything, I wouldn't done what I would've done. What I wouldn't give to take it all back.

When all of this happened, I was 13. I was new to trading, I was new to everything of this degree...

I'm 18 now, almost going on 19. I've learnt my lesson, I've repented, but unfortunately the report got accepted and not made invalid after being inactive for 5 years. Haven't I suffered enough? Please let me free.

I want to get back to being a trader, before this report was accepted, thats all I was, a trader. I had fun playing Team Fortress 2, I was brought to Steam by TF2. But when this report got accepted, I hated Team Fortress 2. This made me hate a game I had fallen in love with.

Why must I suffer possibly at least a 2 years wait for my ankle bracelet to be disarmed and for me to be free to leave? Please tell me why.

I'm not asking you to speed it up. I'm asking why its taking so long. I want a simple yet genuine excuse.

And may I ask where would I make a start? Would you be kind enough to please share with me a link as to where I should be looking? Otherwise, I'm lost here. Yes, I know I've dragged this in here, why else would I be talking about the before and after of this YATO?

If I am coming off seeming rude, I apologise.

I hate to say this but this is just the same link Horse sent me. Please could you clarify?
