Appeal description:

Hi, I wish to be unbanned by SR. The reason I was banned was not made clear to me at all, I joined twitter after a friend suggested it as he said there a tons of giveaways and other promotions going on relating to steam and csgo in general. I joined many of these giveaways and one of them involved posting your trade link in the reply section, as I read through the replies, I became curious and bored and decided to go through peoples inventories to see what kind of people evter these giveaways, one of the comments said something along the lines of "first one to trade me gets a knife" or something like that. So of course i jumped at the opportunity and got trading, right away! I didn't want it to be a scam of some sort so I put one of my skins up so that it could verify he had the mobile authenticator and that it was legit. Afterwards he added me and we briefly spoke, I said I meant no harm and asked him why he posted that on twitter in the first place, to which he said that he did not even post that and that someone else had posted it to troll him. I apologized and he just kept saying, watch your steamrep, you will be banned f✿✿✿✿✿. hahaha hope u die f✿✿✿✿✿, try scam me? ETC.

I really do think that the decision to trade ban me for this is a bit of a drastic step, I've been on steam for around 10 years now and have never been trade banned before. Twitter is obviously something I will stay away from in the future, regarding CSGO, i'll stick to buying keys from steam to open crates for skins.​

Oh right, I wasn't sure if I was trade banned, but my profile says "BANNED BY SR" I cannot show a screenshot of the chat I had with the user as he has blocked me, but I will review the report thread and find their profile and just see if i'm still blocked and if I can get the chat logs from our conversation.

In regards to the message I wrote in my trade offer, I have looked for the passed hour for the comment on twitter, that said "first one to trade me get's a knife Congrats!!" (or something along those lines) I therefor, at the moment cannot provide evidence of that.

yes, I am indeed familiar with SR and reports, as I have made MANY reports in the past, most of which have been accepted, and I take pride in that. Regarding this whole incident, I think it has been a bit of a misunderstanding regarding the comment on twitter, and possibly a 'troll' attempt by one of the person's friends. As I did have the person, + one of his friends commenting on my profile, quite abusive things, which i of course removed.

If i'm following the question as i'm seeing it then i answered the first part about the screenshots, 1) the person has blocked me on steam. 2) finding the twitter comment would be next to impossible.

Regarding the screenshots, yes, they are accurate, however, they are completely out of context in these circumstances.

I hope that answers the question, however, feel free to let me know.
