    Appeal description:
    Hello Steamrep Admin Team,

    In May of 2016 I was reported for scamming "swed king" for an Australium Grenade Launcher and some other items via a PayPal scam, I was 14 at the time and 5 years have gone by, I would like to plead my case.

    After being banned, I contacted one of your Admins via Twitter (in 2016, irrelevant now) and asked if there was a way I could be unbanned, I read up on the conditions on how people could be unbanned, but I realised that I wasn't really sorry and that I was just trying to game the system to optimize my chances of being unbanned.

    Since being banned, I have not abandoned by Steam Account or tried to hide my reputation, I took full responsiblity back then when I tried to get my cousins account unbanned when he was still interested in Steam. In my circle it has become an inside Joke that I scammed someone, but I don't mind it really.

    Despite my questionable and transparent reputation of having scammed someone for $30, I have remainded incredibely active in the community and established myself firmly in the competitive side of things.

    I am the Head Admin of the most successful PUG service that the german TF2 community has ever seen - TF2Pickup.de, we have only been operating since March of this year and already have played well over 300 Pug games! The costs for the servers and more were fronted by me and then reimbursed by community fundraisers, the money was then sent to ME, and I did not exploit the trust of those around me! The server costs are 15$ a month and the Paypal moneypool raised 200€ (https://www.paypal.com/pools/c/8yfB8W3zyO) in only a few days, I was trusted with the money and I have done nothing but reuse it for the site and nothing but the site.

    Furthermore, I am one of the Organizers and Head Admins of the German Bundescup, a german TF2 Tournament designed to allow new players and up and comers to connect with the best players of the german scene. And not only are we preparing the 2nd interation of the tournament this Summer, but we are also featured on Competitive News Forum Teamfortress.tv with our own News articles for each event! (https://www.teamfortress.tv/59262/bundescup-returns-this-may & https://www.teamfortress.tv/57989/bundescup-emerges-from-the-mist)

    I also invested tons of my own time into creating trailers & teasers AND full blown fragmovies of these tournaments on my own Youtube channel here -> https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCM79hmn-mxovF5QxFsC9tsA

    I cast matches that our community has and hype them up as much as possible to make every game exciting for everybody on my twitch channel -> https://www.twitch.tv/danny978

    In ETF2L Season 38 I was asked by the best team in Europe, nerdRage, to sub in and represent the best of the best throughout the season, one of our scrims even got uploaded on a movie database

    In all my years since being banned, I have not once denied my actions or taken advantage of another user since, I have no new reports made against me and I couldn't have scammed someone anyways. If you were to unban me, I would simply have too much to lose to scam someone again, I am not a no name bot account that has no one behind it, I am a member, founder and staple of a community that is thriving because of me and a few others, I have remained active on this account and never used another one actively for anything other than swapping unusuals around, all of which I keep and rarely ever trade away.
    (I have had my steaming tyrants helm and Haunted ghosts L'inspecteur for months now, theyre both coming up on a year very soon, and I will never trade them away, they are my signature unusuals)

    All that I ask for is being given a 2nd chance after scamming someone when I was 14 years old in 2016, giving a young teen a lifetime ban should not be the norm, I have developed so much as a person and I would like my internet status to reflect that, I just want to be able to use bots again like scrap.tf or stn.trading, I am not looking to become a huge trader, I am a competitive player that is currently representing of the most prestigous banners of the scene (SVIFT), I just want to redeem myself.

    Thank you, I hope to hear back from you with good news.

    I forgot to add some Information in my original thread, allow me to add it here:

    Yes I know that repaying the Victim is usually mandatory to get your appeal to be even taken seriously, I am familiar, but the guy hasn't been active in a couple of years now, I tried adding him a while ago and the invite is still pending and nothing about his profile has changed, I don't know how much longer I should wait and I'm fairly confident in saying that the nowadays like $35 that I would have to spend to get an australium Grenade Launcher are not going to stop me from redeeming myself, especially that because I am working and have effectively no expenses currently because I still live at home.

    "Why didn't you appeal earlier?", Quite honestly, I didn't think there was a chance. I tried adding the guy a couple years ago already with no result either, and I heard somewhere that Paypal related scams are never overturned anyways. I've known for many years that my ability to physically scam somebody was a) quite literally not worth the time anymore and would b) jeopardize my position in the community even further for a payout of money that I could make with a much cleaner mind anyways, apart from the fact that I felt dreadful already right after scamming that guy but obviously as a more adult person now, I really don't wanna get involved with that stuff anymore, it's behind me. I graduated last year and have a lot of free time currently, so I've gotten more involved with things and started caring more and browsing more through my past, rediscovering all the things I did made we want to demonstrate how much I had changed.

    To further follow up on my involvement in the community, in 2020, I had hosted my own TF2 Podcast called The Talking Fortress with a members of the Knockout/Facepunch community, the third episode was sadly never released but Episode one and two are linked here ( & )

    All my videos on that Channel have since be delisted and I've changed the name from "Danny" to "Deno" to hide it from some of my competitive friends, didn't want to explain being a TFTuber all of a sudden and it was more something to pass the time during the harder times of lockdown anyways, but I will return to it one day.

    Again, I know that me not paying the guy actually back (yet) is a cruical and very important part of the appeal just missing, which could invalidate all of my efforts, but I figured I might aswell give it a shot now if the only alternative is waiting etenerally for the guy to maybe come back.

    Sorry for bumping!

    SR, by policy, does not grant appeals for RWC (real world currency) related offenses.

    Appeal denied.
