We are currently reworking the infraction/ban system to place users for specific ban types (such as a private profile) directly in the unban request group to make a thread instead of the old method sending an email > add admin > then sent to unban group anyhow. Less work, faster unbans.

Effective immediately:
All new users who want to use SOP for trading/rep must have at least a 6 month old steam account.
In addition, users must have a steam profile level equal to or above what Valve requires for participation in their annual events. (Currently steam profile level 8 and above)

We have updated our rep rules as well:
http://forums.sourceop.com/misc.php?...rules&cfrset=3 Please, give them a reading.
We have rewrote and thoroughly explained exactly how rep comments are to be made to put to rest some ambiguities members may have had.
In addition, we no longer allow linking of "rep" threads from sources that are not proactively moderated. For example, if "+rep" is allowed on their site, its not valid and should not be linked in your rep threads.
