    As i can see that's the reason you were tagged.

    Wait and see a Steamrep admin answer i guess.

    Finally I learned a good lesson by Ryuki Fukuda

    I'm just a regular F2P TF2 player. Most F2P's know less about trading like me, happened to get a name tag. I came to check on my inventory, and then I noticed that it was tradable. I was so happy I had my first tradable item. I asked my friend of what its worth. He said "I think its between 1 ref if I'm not mistaken" and then I was like :O and then started checking on my friend's inventories to check if they have a Strange Direct Hit. I tried looking and looking and still nothing. I can barely sleep by thinking about that.

    On the next day, I tried looking at my friend's friend's inventories about that Strange Direct Hit and I spent a lot of time and still got nothing. I was really sad. Well, you can't score if you don't take a shot. And then I started to join on trading servers, Steam Groups like the official Team Fortress 2 and started copy pasting, "S> Name Tag for 1 ref" again and again. While playing a game, I keep pasting, and pasting patiently. After a few days finally someone added me and said that he wants to go buy my name tag. So I quickly opened the trade and finished the trade. I told in my mind, "Wow, trading is so cool you get new stuff every once in a while." And then the one I copy pasted changed to "Buying Strange Direct Hit for 1 ref". Again, I keep pasting from time to time.

    It took a few days for me to find a seller, I even tried to google, "buying strange direct hit" (lol) and I found old forum posts. Still, no choice, keep pasting. While pasting, someone told me that he can get me a copy of Dota 2 all I have to do is write +rep -some other stuff- . I think of this first, hmmm all I have to do is paste, I have nothing to lose. That's what I thought. I told him I already finished commenting on his profile and he asked me my e-mail address and he'll send the key after 3 hours. I patiently waited that 3 hours and I finally checked my e-mail. Nothing. Oh well, back to pasting.

    I already got my Strange Weapon and started leveling it up. Then suddenly, a friend of mine said, Hey! Youre a scammer!. I was shocked. What happened, did I steal someone's things? Wow. I saw I was tagged as SR SCAMMER. Huh? What did I do wrong? I saw the link and what I did was I gave a fake reputation. Oh, so that was a bad thing? So, to all of you guys, don't ever EVER give a fake rep or you'll suffer. Seriously. At first you'll think "It was a preety good deal, a comment for a rare item or a game?" Think again, you're doing it wrong. If not too late try to print screen it and report it to Stem Rep.

    No other issues found, he removed the comment. Usually I would downgrade to a caution first for a period of time but due to the backlog of appeals I think he had the scam tag on long enough. Be more careful about giving rep to people, it devalues all the legitimate rep.


    Good luck and thanks for being patient.
