    Those are all of the ones I have found, I know I have created at least a dozen more throwaways but I have long forgotten them.​

    Appeal description:
    So about two and a half months ago, in early January, I made a really stupid and fateful decision to use false information in an attempt to get various users, who I deemed as my 'enemies', to get banned on SR and thus severely inconvenience them, and I admit it.

    However here is the longer and more detailed record of what happened:

    From late 2014-2016 I was banned off of many TF2 servers primarily due to me making very immature and stupid decisions and also griefing/exploiting. In particular I had held a big grudge against NeonHeights Servers and VigilinateGamers simply because I felt as if I was treated unfairly and I looked toward many opportunities to get revenge one way or another. So in mid-December of 2016 I, along with some friends, devised 'Operation SR' where we would fake numerous screenshots and try to get users banned and thus severely inconvenience them. I was a part of Skial at this time and on New Years I decided to make my move by falsifying a report on @Roudydogg1 and hoping that the Skial admins would ban him without him even knowing what had happened (I knew he was on SR forums but not on Skial). I used one of my friends (http://steamrep.com/profiles/76561198235848980) to help fabricate the report. After less than a week nothing happened so I got desperate and decided to make my second move by getting an admin on VG (who conveniently trades a lot) banned. I now used another one of my friends (http://steamrep.com/profiles/76561198017951284) I succeeded at first but somehow I was caught and banned, which now brings me to this appeal. It has been a while and I believe I have learned my lesson, despite me being somewhat inactive, vacation is coming up soon and this ban will severely inconvenience me since I would be banned on many servers. I am hoping for your understanding, despite my actions, and I will respond to any question as soon as possible.

    PS: This is just a general description of what happened and who was involved, if the admins need any specific details then please ask and I will address those specifically.​

    When you intentionally lie to us, we no longer can believe anything you say, this is on top of the harm you tried to cause others. What you wrote in the "more detailed record" means nothing at all to us and in no way is any sort of justification to hide behind your actions. They are still your actions. Saying that, I will give you a single reply more to convince me not to flat out reject the appeal.

    Well I mean you have all of the records from the event and you could fact check what I'm saying in case you do not trust me, which I completely understand given the circumstance. What I would like to say is that it has been well over 2 months, and even though it may not seem like it, I have learned my lesson from this event and would like to show that I have changed. If unbanning me, given the situation, is not possible, then I would be perfectly fine with an SR CAUTION for the time being just to show that I can in fact be trustworthy and have changed since earlier this year.

    Denied, I dont see any "change of heart" in your reply, more a lack of understanding of what you did and how it negatively affects others.
