Which group should I appeal for PhoniexGaming (PG) bans?
I was sent here from their discord, and I can't find myself on the appeals forum while searching for the correct appeal type for the application.

For the Legacy Ban tags for defunct communities, is there a usual timeline on how long the process takes? I thought I sent in an appeal over 3 months ago, and I'm pretty sure my tag was added over two years ago, but I'm still sitting on pending. Maybe my timelines are wrong, thanks.

I have a question about historical profile data. What decides when the data is collected at a certain time? Is it based off when something is changed about the profile? For example setting their profile privacy from public to private? Or is it collected at random intervals? I'm looking at an account that seems identical from one historical saved data point to the next. Thanks in advance.

Expanding on this, this was supposed to be dealt with back in 2014 and it never was...theres an imgur in there that someone from TF2OP said I was "unfairly" banned and lifted my ban, and the person who answered my thread said that they (TF2OP) would either remove it themselves or contact SR, and I guess neither happened. So..

when i'm trying to opt for historical snapshots i am getting and error ( go back and refresh page) but nothing happens after i refresh

any updates on the steamrep donation center. Issue was first announced back in 2021, with latest update being 2022. I and I'm sure a lot of people have been patiently waiting for it to be fixed.

Just curious thanks!

hoping for the best, good luck and keep up the good work

I think my scam report was declined due to a misunderstanding. The admin declined it due to the user never having the nickname shown in the screenshots but it was a client set nickname. I used the nickname feature in the Steam friends list to remind me to trade with the guy on the right day. Is this worth submitting an appeal over? I don't want anyone else to get screwed over for this guy but I don't wanna make more work for the admins either...

Oh sorry! I'm new here and to forums in general so I didn't think to check for rules for this type of chat. Thank you for the clarification.
I do have one other question and I've checked all the places I could think would answer it before asking this time (though it's very possible I just didn't find it). I just found out you can use steams website to look up your recent message log and it includes messages sent to and from users you are no longer friends with. I know the scam report rules were very clear that you need to only include chat log screenshots from the steam chat window but could a screenshot of the message log website be used to help corroborate the steam chat window evidence? Like for example in the instance of a client side nickname, as the nicknames are not displayed on the website but the content and date/time match up.
I'm less invested in my particular report and just curious at this point. Thanks for all y'all's hard work!

hi, im posting here to see if i can get some advice, a few years back my account got hijacked due to my own stupid mistake but it got me banned, i had someone help me make an appeal then but due to mistakes i was never updated on the ongoings and now a few years later i wanted to look after it myself but found that it was sadly rejected.

im trying to see if there is still a way for me to rectify this problem eventhough its been this long, and if anyone can help me.

i mainly want to fix this due to it having caused not jus me but my brother who was unfortunatly attached to my account to also get banned and i hate that he had to suffer due to my mistake

thanks for the info, and ill look further into it
