    I have made a decision.

    Having reviewed the info, your trade history during the time of the name change suggests engagement with only the tf2wh automated bot system. I do not see any traders who may have been conned as a result of your representation of pedanticpickle. The original report did not have any screenshots of you attempting to mimic the automated responses of the bot which seems to be how scammers take advantage of this type of impersonation. Additionally, there have been no subsequent reports of deception on your part. Having said that, due to the nature of renaming yourself as a bot and its recognition as an avenue of deception, I am downgrading your tag to CAUTION. This can be possibly downgraded at a later date, but for now, it is the best course of action. If there is any more name changes or reports of this nature again, a SCAMMER tag will be issued, permanently.

    I will strongly emphasise, do not do this again. You have made trouble out of nothing. The tf2wh community does recognise people who do pose as their bots as per se "scammers". I believe here that there was no intent and a caution is adequate. Again, do not advertise in this way if you are not officially recognised in doing so.

    Best of luck to you sir.
