    On 29 june I was banned from outpost and marked as a scammer on SR. It came as a massive shock to me. The reason given was "Brokering for banned user"

    So here is what happened.

    I met this guy Bucket while playing 2fort on starhub about a year ago. He was a medic and I was a soldier, we played for quite some time together and soon became friends. After a few days we became such good friends that I had no problem lending my stuff to Bucket. At first they were small things like kringle and all. As I progressed I reached higher and higher in trading community.

    One day I noticed that I had 1 scammer freind on SR which was BUCKET!!
    When I asked Bucket about it he said he was hacked long time ago and then marked as a scammer when he got the account back. I asked if he had appealed to which he said he had but nothing happened. I believed him. I asked him to make a new account after that just to be safe.

    So after a few days he made a new account by the name of Bucket.exe. By this time I was in unusual trade and I had no problem lending to most of my friends which included Bucket. Days passed.

    One day Bucket asked me if he could try selling an unusual, I gave him my four low range hats (2-4 buds) and asked him to sell them if he can in 1 day.
    Without my knowledge he posted an advertisement on outpost when I had one add already. (this is an offence - Relisting)

    After a few days, actually 29 june now I was banned for brokering items for banned user. Bucket wasn't banned untill now. He was banend ont he same day as me.

    First thing, I never brokered any of Bucket's stuff, it is all mine.
    Second, he was banned the same day as me, how was I supposed to know he was banned?

    That was my appeal for TF2OP ban which got accepted and I was unbanned from oupost but given a caution tag.

    Okay, I'm going to go ahead and reduce this to a caution. Because so many items have passed between you, I feel the community should be educated that you have had multiple trades with him. If you trade with a marked scammer again, for any reason, you will receive a scammer tag.

    Here is Helenangel's reply to my appeal.


    There has been some recent development in the case. Bucket's appeal was recently accepted and he was unmarked rendering my caution tag baseless. I traded with a person who is unmarked.

    I would appreciate if I integrity is returned to it's former glory and my caution tag removed
