    Appeal description:
    Quick note: The reason of my appeal should read "never trade with a scammer again " not "never scam again". It's not a sudden change though since I've stopped trading with scammers more than a year ago. I just did not feel the need to make an appeal until now.

    Hello there,

    I recently got reminded of my SR ban from a guy who added me asking for quicksales (since, quote: "scammers always sell for so cheap" lol).
    I didn't think about my ban on here and tf2outpost/backpack.tf anymore for ages since I stopped trading about roughly a year or so ago.
    The reason I'am making this appeal is mainly because I dont want other people to get into trouble when they are trading with me, since I still get a new csgo item here and there. I know a few people who got banned from outpost for a simple trade with me.
    On the other hand its pretty shameful to have that dirty tag on here. Most of the people who insulted me as a scammer didn't even check the reason for my ban.
    I realise that what I did was definetly not harmless at all. I was directly supporting scamming and phishing by giving them a place to sell and I know that by now.

    I want to make clear that I have no intention to start trading again at all. I haven't traded a single unusual for another unusual in ages (the last time being in februrary 2015: http://imgur.com/0ar0Uu8 ).
    All I did was getting some csgo stuff which I bought for personal use with no intention of reselling/making profit. The few trades I made with csgo items for csgo items where done on csgolounge.com, which did not even care about my SR ban.

    So yea, the biggest reason I'am doing this appeal is to safe some people for getting into trouble for trading with me.
    You may think that that's just an excuse to get this ban lifted but to proof that wrong I won't make an appeal on any trading sites (mainly backpack.tf and tf2outpost, no clue if I got banned anywhere else).

    If a complete lift is too much to ask for, I would love to get at least something like a caution tag or similar. Being directly compared to people who scammed thousands of dollars worth of stuff just sucks.
    As I said I am aware that what I did supports those people but a straight scammer tag is too much for what I did in my opinion.

    I would love to get some, even negative, response from you guys.

    Greetings Lukas aka TheBuehla


    PS: One of the bans has the "evidence provided" tag despite the guy who I traded with had no SR tag/report the moment I traded with him. I also provided this information in the thread with screenshot proof ( http://forums.steamrep.com/threads/report-76561198059838394-tf2-team-fortress-2-items.76365/ )
    PSS: Sorry for any grammatical mistakes, english is not my first language ;)
