Did you change something in your account earlier?

!logs Toaster The Whaler:
what do you mean by "change"
You there buddy?

[20:19]

Because random user(s) reported you for having duplicated items and I have noticed that you have a 'pending ban report' issued on your account

[20:20]

What should i do about it then

[20:23]

Are you aware that if you cant prove yourself here that your item is in good condition your account will be banned permanently?
