12:50 AM - |^_^| Sinew: Hi
12:54 AM - You Are The One: hi
12:56 AM - |^_^| Sinew: Sorry if I've given off an annoying impression – I merely want to discuss my options
12:57 AM - |^_^| Sinew: This is regarding my SOP / Steam account linking issue
12:56 AM - You Are The One: no, your fine
12:57 AM - |^_^| Sinew: thanks for taking the time to chat
12:59 AM - |^_^| Sinew: When I 'returned from hiatus' (so to speak) around a 12-14 months ago -- SOP required Steam Account linking -- I remember that I was ill when I tried to configure that -- result was a new SOP account :-/
12:59 AM - |^_^| Sinew: I've read that Accounts aren't often unlinked
12:58 AM - You Are The One: so account Sinew
and account |^_^| Sinew
1:00 AM - |^_^| Sinew: both me
1:00 AM - |^_^| Sinew: the former is my original
12:58 AM - You Are The One: give me a few to look it up
1:00 AM - |^_^| Sinew: want me to link you?
12:59 AM - You Are The One: it was probably not the best to use both accnt
1:01 AM - |^_^| Sinew: I understand -- that's a contributing reason as to why I forgot about the Support post I made with my original sop account -- I was simply accepting the fact that I would have to start 'clean' with a new account
1:02 AM - |^_^| Sinew: I wasn't using both at the same time -- never for trading -- merely in attempts to help find a solution to the problem
1:02 AM - |^_^| Sinew: Ideally I'd be most gratious if I could have my original SOP account linked to this (my Steam Account)
1:01 AM - You Are The One: Wat we normally do is just that as long as they dont have too many postings
1:03 AM - |^_^| Sinew: I've only starting posting these past few days :-/ – thinking that I'd need to use the new account – but I wouldn't have a problem with the new account being removed
1:03 AM - |^_^| Sinew: If I could have my original linked to my steam account
1:09 AM - You Are The One: that may be an issue currently due to some backend changes we made
1:09 AM - You Are The One: let me take a peak
1:11 AM - |^_^| Sinew: Oh
1:11 AM - |^_^| Sinew: Thanks
1:10 AM - You Are The One: we had an issue where steam join dates were not displaying correctly
1:10 AM - You Are The One: all said dec 29th 1969
1:11 AM - |^_^| Sinew: Ah I think I noticed that
1:10 AM - You Are The One: or something
1:10 AM - You Are The One: ya
1:11 AM - You Are The One: so we had to backup and reinstall the forums
1:12 AM - |^_^| Sinew: ah
1:13 AM - |^_^| Sinew: is it a non-instant 'process' in order to change the account linking?
1:12 AM - You Are The One: yes, but that setting was not working as of the reinstall
1:13 AM - |^_^| Sinew: In other words -- will this ever be a possibility?
1:13 AM - |^_^| Sinew: oh okay
1:12 AM - You Are The One: i guess the plugin was reactivated
1:14 AM - |^_^| Sinew: hmm
1:14 AM - You Are The One: can you verify the email addresses to me by sending a test mail to butane@sourceop
1:14 AM - You Are The One: .com
1:16 AM - |^_^| Sinew: oh yeah
1:16 AM - |^_^| Sinew: which email addresses? the one from my original SOP account and the one from my steam account?
1:17 AM - |^_^| Sinew: well the one on my new sop account is different from my steam account
1:17 AM - |^_^| Sinew: i'll send you emails from all
1:17 AM - |^_^| Sinew: one moment
1:17 AM - You Are The One: you are not that far from nashville are you
1:19 AM - |^_^| Sinew: nope
1:19 AM - You Are The One: few quick questions, do you have any alternate steam accounts or know of any that can be linked to you, even if not yours?
1:19 AM - You Are The One: and do you have any issues at any trading community, such as a ban/been accused of scamming
1:21 AM - |^_^| Sinew: I have one other steam account that I used a few years ago but no longer use it
1:22 AM - |^_^| Sinew: and no, never been accused of anything like that
1:21 AM - You Are The One: any bans at trading coms?
1:22 AM - |^_^| Sinew: no
1:23 AM - |^_^| Sinew: both emails sennt
1:23 AM - |^_^| Sinew: sent*
1:23 AM - |^_^| Sinew: first from my 'new' sop account which is now linked to my steam account — second is my original sop account and also steam account email
1:24 AM - You Are The One: I see an old note someone made on SR do you recall any admin ever questioning you about something
1:25 AM - |^_^| Sinew: Hmm
1:26 AM - |^_^| Sinew: Steam Rep note you say?
1:25 AM - You Are The One: yes
1:25 AM - You Are The One: September 17th, 2011
1:27 AM - |^_^| Sinew: I honestly don't recall any communication between an Official SR/SOP Admin and myself regarding any malicious behaviour or anything :-/
1:27 AM - |^_^| Sinew: hmm that was shortly after beginning to trade
1:27 AM - |^_^| Sinew: maybe had a message or two from you (butane) on SOP regarding incorrect Rep thread
1:27 AM - |^_^| Sinew: formatting
1:28 AM - |^_^| Sinew: I lacked a steam64ID in my Rep thread and it was locked
1:28 AM - |^_^| Sinew: I'm trying to remember if there was anything else -- at least anything of great significance
1:27 AM - You Are The One: the note was not left by anyone at sop
1:27 AM - You Are The One: so probably unrelated to your rep thread
1:29 AM - |^_^| Sinew: I don't recall ever having an Official discuss anything regarding "scamming, phishing, sharking, etc." or 'unfair/improper trading'
1:29 AM - |^_^| Sinew: that doesn't mean it didn't happen – I simply cannot remember
1:29 AM - You Are The One: can you locate the url of that alt you mentioned
1:30 AM - |^_^| Sinew: yes
1:30 AM - |^_^| Sinew: I used it primarily to play windows games
1:31 AM - |^_^| Sinew: http://steamcommunity.com/id/brijsven/
1:31 AM - You Are The One: the mforce310 I assume is yours aswell?
1:32 AM - |^_^| Sinew: perhaps when I traded some crates, other small items between this steam account and that one a flag was raised?
1:32 AM - |^_^| Sinew: oh no -- he's a buddy of mine
1:32 AM - |^_^| Sinew: in real life
1:31 AM - You Are The One: its been offline as long as yours so assumed
1:32 AM - |^_^| Sinew: he doesn't play much tf2
1:33 AM - |^_^| Sinew: yeah - coincidence
1:34 AM - |^_^| Sinew: I'm curious about that note you mentioned
1:33 AM - You Are The One: so am I
1:35 AM - |^_^| Sinew: May I know what it is in regards to?
1:33 AM - You Are The One: its a screenshot with a few listed IPs
1:35 AM - |^_^| Sinew: hmm
1:34 AM - You Are The One: the screenshot is dead tho
1:35 AM - |^_^| Sinew: I've had MFORCE310 on my local network playing tf2 and some small trading over a year ago
1:34 AM - You Are The One: the additional Ip that I didnt already know is 207.65.24.2
1:34 AM - You Are The One: I assume its yours due to the location
1:37 AM - |^_^| Sinew: oh -- I think I may remember -- I was caring for a friend's house while they were away -- I did much tf2 trading and what not while there
1:37 AM - |^_^| Sinew: might be their local network?
1:37 AM - |^_^| Sinew: and another in murfreesboro
1:37 AM - |^_^| Sinew: (an old lady friend's house)
1:37 AM - |^_^| Sinew: that's kind of when I went into hiatus
1:38 AM - |^_^| Sinew: trading was becoming overwhelming in my life -- lost her then decided to change several other things in my life
1:38 AM - |^_^| Sinew: /self-reflecting
1:38 AM - |^_^| Sinew: heh
1:38 AM - You Are The One: its fine
1:38 AM - You Are The One: sorry for taking so long, im trying to get more info on the note
1:38 AM - You Are The One: without luck
1:40 AM - |^_^| Sinew: no worries -- I appreciate your time
1:41 AM - |^_^| Sinew: Maybe there was a high volume of trading on my account between those different locations (different IPs) and it flagged suspicion of someone?
1:41 AM - |^_^| Sinew: Because now that I think about it -- I bounced between 3 or more different locations in the midst of a lot of trading
1:42 AM - You Are The One: that MFORCE310 account popped up again on checking your outpost accnt
1:42 AM - You Are The One: Apr 7th, 2012
1:44 AM - |^_^| Sinew: hmm he had a couple of times where we traded a few items
1:44 AM - |^_^| Sinew: there were a couple of times*
1:44 AM - |^_^| Sinew: but not much -- never high-valued items
1:44 AM - |^_^| Sinew: I remember giving him a vintage engineer's cap
1:45 AM - |^_^| Sinew: other than that -- don't remember any interaction between our two steam accounts, at least in regards to Steam Trading or tf2
1:46 AM - |^_^| Sinew: Apr. 7 -- that was a couple of months before I entered hiatus again
1:47 AM - You Are The One: you got 2 buds,
1:47 AM - You Are The One: who did you trade them from?
1:49 AM - |^_^| Sinew: just earlier -- bought them for $64 USD from Bishop (one sec. I'll link you)
1:48 AM - You Are The One: thats ok
1:48 AM - You Are The One: i know
1:49 AM - |^_^| Sinew: ah
1:49 AM - You Are The One: http://backpack.tf/item/124860053 http://backpack.tf/item/93603086
1:51 AM - |^_^| Sinew: o_O
1:51 AM - |^_^| Sinew: uh oh
1:50 AM - You Are The One: he may get a spanking
1:52 AM - |^_^| Sinew: guess that's what happens when you rush into a buy :-/
1:52 AM - |^_^| Sinew: (on my part)
1:52 AM - |^_^| Sinew: so are they dirty? should I return them to someone?
1:51 AM - You Are The One: I cant hold 10 ppl down the line responsible, unless they do it often
1:53 AM - |^_^| Sinew: Was I in "the wrong" here? Or should I have done more investigation before purchasing from him?
1:53 AM - |^_^| Sinew: (just curious for future instances)
1:53 AM - |^_^| Sinew: to avoid future instances*
1:52 AM - You Are The One: probably should have looked at histories, but not a huge deal.
1:54 AM - |^_^| Sinew: I'll do so henceforth for the sake of knowing
1:53 AM - You Are The One: too bad for him, thoes histories better have other legit users between him and that scammer
1:53 AM - You Are The One: or he will never be unbanned.
1:55 AM - |^_^| Sinew: Bishop?
1:56 AM - |^_^| Sinew: so would you consider him a part (potentially) of a 'scam-act' ?
1:56 AM - You Are The One: ill see what he says about it, if he ever contests his ban.
1:56 AM - You Are The One: well
1:56 AM - You Are The One: that is about it as far as I can tell
1:58 AM - |^_^| Sinew: I understand
1:57 AM - You Are The One: please logout of any sop accounts you are logged into
1:58 AM - |^_^| Sinew: Oh you mean regarding confirmation of my record?
1:59 AM - |^_^| Sinew: alright
1:59 AM - |^_^| Sinew: done
1:59 AM - You Are The One: what is your name btw?
1:59 AM - You Are The One: just curious
1:59 AM - You Are The One: mine is bill.
2:01 AM - |^_^| Sinew: Brijen
2:01 AM - |^_^| Sinew: or anglo-cized: Brian
2:01 AM - |^_^| Sinew: How do you fancy what you do?
2:00 AM - You Are The One: that mforce310 keeps popping up
2:01 AM - You Are The One: http://forums.sourceop.com/members/25043-MFORCE310
2:01 AM - You Are The One: what is his name?
2:02 AM - |^_^| Sinew: Jeremy
2:03 AM - |^_^| Sinew: can't see what those two posts are -- (I'm remaining signed-out)
2:04 AM - You Are The One: one min.
2:13 AM - You Are The One: I decided not to merge the accounts
2:13 AM - You Are The One: but I did unlink/relink the steam account to the original account
2:13 AM - You Are The One: and banned the old account
2:15 AM - |^_^| Sinew: banned which account?
2:14 AM - You Are The One: the new one
2:15 AM - |^_^| Sinew: oh alright
2:16 AM - |^_^| Sinew: thank you very much!
2:16 AM - |^_^| Sinew: I really appreciate your time
2:16 AM - |^_^| Sinew: may I log back in?
2:15 AM - You Are The One: yes.
2:17 AM - |^_^| Sinew: thanks -- could you simply remove/delete the 'new' account?
2:15 AM - You Are The One: no
2:16 AM - You Are The One: we dont delete accounts
2:16 AM - You Are The One: the most I would have done is merge it
2:17 AM - |^_^| Sinew: will this reflect in a negative manner having that account banned and 'tied' to me?
2:16 AM - You Are The One: I removed the posts
2:16 AM - You Are The One: its just a banned account w/o any posts
2:18 AM - |^_^| Sinew: alright
2:18 AM - |^_^| Sinew: oh okay -- well thank you for the support and help
2:17 AM - You Are The One: I reset the rules tho,
2:18 AM - You Are The One: please read them
2:19 AM - |^_^| Sinew: Have they been reset just now?
