    Appeal for BANNED BY SR

    Steam profile: 76561198142457554 (Double)

    Appeal Plea: I committed some of the listed offenses, but not all of them
    Appeal Reason: [Evidence] Missing - Evidence is missing or not enough
    Victim Repayment: No, I committed no fraud or had no direct victims
    Previous Appeals: No, this is my first appeal here

    Alternate Accounts:


    Appeal description:
    I do not know what this was for. I have changed my names on multiply account to names such as Penguin the Fluffy etc. but I have never actually done a scam, or attempted to scam someone using steamrep. I had simple changed it to troll around with a friend who had changed his name to another one of the steamrep middlemen. At the time, I had many bets going on csgolounge.com where I was trading some of my skins. No scamming was involved in these trades, but I assume that people saw my username was Penguin the Fluffy and reported me for scamming. I do not know if that is the accurate reason, but I can assure you that I did not commit anything against steamrep policies. I would greatly appreciate if you could get to the bottom of why exactly I was banned. Thank you.​

    And you changed your profile description to fit his as well? Hmm.

    This must be a really slow appeal process. Pretty sure I could get an amendment appealed faster than this.

    Yet you glossed over what the above user mentioned, it was not "simple changes" you made

    After a review of the report/taking into account the appeal;
    Impersonating to scam also scams the person you are impersonating of their reputation. Other then it being premeditated and having time to re-think your decisions, it was a community admin who was, at the time, tagged on SR, that shows you were aware of SR and the impact of such a user to the community. I cant accept an appeal under such conditions. You simply knew or should have known better. Having said that, they are some mitigating circumstances between how long this appeal has been pending and as far as I can tell there are no direct reports against you for actual scamming and limited information on how far you went to impersonate.

    You have been given a exceedingly rare second chance since you did commit the offense, make sure you do not try anything like that again.
    Please note, further transgressions or if we find you lied to us, may result in you being retagged w/o the possibility of a new appeal.

    Appeal granted, tag downgraded to caution.
