1. There is no such thing as a "pending" ban or Steam admin. Anyone threatening your account is a scammer trying to scare you. Read more.

Hey STEAMREP, Please vet or interview your admins...

    Well, it seems to me like some admins actually don't do any investigation into reports at all. They try to archive as soon as they can.

    I've also talked to some other members regarding certain admins. Even they said that certain admins have sided with scammers since they became admins.

    After a trade, the guy unfriends and blocks the accuser? Why is this not considered an attempted trade scam? With more than enough proof to ban these guys, certain admins just let him go?

    I ask some admins, mods, whatever, to look at my recent archived post. Even if the outcome is the same, I would like a second opinion. Maybe even look into some of the recent archived or "invalid" tagged posts.

    This is beyond annoying, especially when STEAMREP is the "go to" for reporting trade scammers.

    Disappointed in this site.

    We have a high standard of evidence so we don't mark innocent users by mistake.

    Use the report function to get us to look over reports that you think were wrongly invalidated. Keep in mind that we cannot accept reports that are missing key pieces of evidence, and that the report function is not meant to be abused.

    I was in contact with a user that posted a report. They had said this admin rarely bans for attempted scams, and they usually side with the accused.

    You seem confused, marking "archive" is not siding with anyone, its simply saying that the evidence presented does not meet the minimum requirements to process/accept a report.

    That was an example. I know what archiving means, it's just premature.

    I am aware of atleast 3 reports, 1 of which is my own, where the admin does nothing with the evidence. Archiving it when something can be done.

    Confused why there's admins that don't ban trade scammers...that's all.

    I'll ask for a second opinion if I believe the admin was ignorant

    OK?

    Let's get back to the main reason I even posted. Why are admins not banning attempted scammers?

    Because users lack proper evidence to get said scammers tagged.

    cool. This is exactly my point.

    No investigations, no professionalism, just ignorance.

    I'm done with you and this site. Try actually doing your "jobs?" and make steam a safer place. Don't just let scammers go free, you're not helping.

    bye

    Its not a job, we are volunteers, next time make sure you have all the proper evidence to submit a valid report.
