1. There is no such thing as a "pending" ban or Steam admin. Anyone threatening your account is a scammer trying to scare you. Read more.

    Appeal for BANNED BY SR

    Steam profile: 76561198022128243 (Sek)

    Appeal Plea: I committed the offense(s), I admit it
    Appeal Reason: [Change of Heart] I will never scam again.
    Victim Repayment: No, I committed no fraud or had no direct victims
    Previous Appeals: No, this is my first appeal here

    Alternate Accounts:
    http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198124678646
    This is the second acc i own and is shared with two friends, its not exclusively mine and we use it when someone of us cant play on his own acc.​

    Appeal description:
    Hi, in first instance i would like to left clear that i admit and regret the actions i made in the past, i cant justify my acts.
    In some way i feel better not getting that last scam done (i tried but i could not finish it)
    After a year i would like to have a second chance, i have no problems letting open my steamrep profile, what is done is done. simply i would like to use pages like CSGOlounge.com to share and trade items with the community.
    An Admin who i talked to helped me to make the appeal and insisted me to left clear that AF2 doesnt exists anymore so the appeal and the ban case must be judged here.
    Thank you for reading this and i appreciate ur time.​

    Hello @Carlos Sek,

    Your appeal thread has been categorized into: All Other Tag Appeals

    Please read this topic: SteamRep: Appeal tips
    If after reading that you have any missing information in your appeal, you can append/correct information by making subsequent posts in this appeal topic.

    PS: This reply does not mean your appeal is under investigation or being worked on yet. It is just a first call to complete your information. So that when investigation starts, the appeal admin can work faster through the appeal.

    Hello @Carlos Sek,

    This is a notification that your appeal is now under investigation. Please check this topic regularly from now on, for admins may set time-limits on responses on the forum for their questions (normally 7 days) before a appeal will be closed. Hence you may find questions in subsequent posts by the admin that is investigating the appeal, please answer ALL of the questions, for a admin will only start the background investigation once those questions have been answered.

    This message indicates the change to "under investigation" of your appeal. Only AFTER this will the admin start processing the appeal. Hence questions may not be asked the same day, but generally within a week (no guarantee) in this appeal topic.

    You should reply on this to indicate you are checking the appeal regularly if no questions where asked by the appeal admin (yet).

    The reason to close such is to keep things moving once a admin has done its due diligence to complete the required appeal information, and lessen the pile of open appeals. We cannot personally contact each appealer via steam or otherwise to ask them to respond on their appeal, due the volume of such.
    The reason why the background check is only done after responding is to keep moving in appeals, and not have research work done when that had no merit (minimizing workload). There are enough other appeals that didn't lose their interest of trying to appeal, which then can be served faster this way.

    Non-responsiveness by the appealer means for the admin that the appeal can be regarded as "loss of interest" and no re-appeal will be granted. This appeal will then be set Invalid, and archived.

    Hello @Carlos Sek,

    Questions:
    You contacted http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198000020384/ somewhere before Jan 23, 2013, he declined the invitation back then. To jog the memory:
    At the time he was AF2 Admin/Owner, Dota2Traders Admin and MM, and TF2TradingPost Admin. Now he is no longer all this, altho he still owns the AF2 site, but that has been defunct for a long while now.

    I'd like to know why you tried to contact him.

    You have 7 days to reply.

    You had way more then a week to respond to above questions. I'm archiving your appeal.

    I'll leave the possibility for a re-appeal open, provided you also provide the requested information I asked for above.
