Hello @Ursus,

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).

Hello!
Appreciate answer! After discussion with you guys on main forum I used your advice and started working with FoG on scam reports. They agreed to take a look at resubmitted old reports that steamreap is not able to handle due to overload of incoming reports.

Resubmitted FoG report is here:

@SIVARTZ Could you please close this report?
I need to be able to get it processed by FoG trade admins (your partner site).

@gencobra @You Are The One @lava
can one of you guys help me out and close this one? I'm trying to get it processed through FoG as they seem to be less overloaded by reports.
Here's my FoG report:
