I do not know why you are able to access certin parts of the site that you should not be able to, I have forwarded that issue to the head forums tech.

As for your issue, as linked above, no, we will not simply let you use the site w/o looking into the issue, for now, I have revoked your access to the trade/rep sections. You will need to provide us with a full rundown of your trade ban and any related support tickets on the matter, even then, as outlined in our FAQ, we may choose to leave you banned anyway.

ok well i can link my support tickets. https://support.steampowered.com/vie...4246-RUDG-5438 I bought keys from someone on this site who I can also give further details about. I notified a mod about what was happening right when it first happened. If you chose not to unban me from here...fine. I just appreciate the website and was a frequent user. You can look at my rep thread as well which shows Im a respectful trader. Thanks for your time

[Butane]

Only you can view your support tickets, linking their urls does nothing.

1 Message by you on Sun, Sep 27 2015 11:01 Hi its been many months since I was trade banned, I was hoping I could get someone to review my account to see if I could have my privlidges back. A breif tale of what happened. I met a trader on sourceop (a tf2 trading website) I bought keys from him 3 times but I was not in on anything with him, I was just buying keys. I also have a chat log between us if that helps. I paid him for the keys and that was it, I even have the paypal receipts. If anyone would look into this for me I would be eternally grateful. I have always been a good trader and would really appreciate another look. Thank you.

4 Message by you on Thu, Oct 22 2015 6:46 Scamming? Me ....please could you confirm thats true. I really would never scam anyone. I am a 37 year old mailman, I just trade for fun, not profit or anything. I really have no idea who could have said I scammed them. But ok I just feel like a PERM ban is a little crazy. Is there anything I can do? I really appreciate any help or info. Thanks, Ryan

6 Message by you on Fri, Oct 23 2015 17:23 I just wanted to request that my ban length be looked at ...a Perm ban is a long time. Any help would be so appreciated.... I just want to again state I love steam and would never try or be a part of a scam. Thanks for your time


7 Message by Support Tech Jared on Mon, Oct 26 2015 11:40 Hello Ryan,

This ban was issued deliberately and is not negotiable.


8 Message by you on Mon, Oct 26 2015 12:24 How is it not negotiable, Ive seen others reversed? Not even for a foot rub?


9 Message by you on Tue, Nov 10 2015 9:39 Is there anyone else I can appeal my case too? I feel Ive been put in prison but " I Didnt Do It". Ive been given a life sentence, isnt that a little harsh? Im not even clear on what I did, except you say I am a scammer, and again I say Ive never scammed anyone. Please help me by looking again and see if the punishment fits the "crime". thanks, Ryan


10 Message by you on Mon, Nov 16 2015 12:15 Sorry that last post was melodramatic, but is there anyone else I can appeal to or is this it? I repeat please look at the chat logs of the "scam" (whenever that was) and you will see I had no knowledge of any scam. Thanks, sorry for bugging you, Ryan


11 Message by you on Thu, Dec 3 2015 22:17 Can you just give me the reality of it ,,,,can I ever get unbanned I feel like a pawn in whatever someone else is doing. but will anyone listen....shoud I just give up?


12 Message by you on Sat, May 21 2016 19:34 any resonse? ive waited for 6 months. Any chance of a reversal


13 Message by you on Sun, Jul 10 2016 5:45 Its been a year and a half since my ban any reevaluations possible


14 Message by you on Sun, Jul 10 2016 5:50 This may not be the place but it was the only way to create a new ticket. Im sorry to bother you but its been a year since I had a response on my other open ticket. Please i beg some kind hearted soul like yourself to look at my issue. Thank you


15 Message by Support Tech Jared on Wed, Jul 13 2016 10:16 I've reviewed the ban, and have decided to remove it.

There was some activity that looks like scamming to us, but not enough to warrant a permanent ban.

If you have any further questions, please let us know - we will be happy to assist you.


16 Message by you on Thu, Jul 14 2016 10:43 Oh my god thank you for taking the time to hear me out. I really appreciate it. You sir are my new favorite person. Your new best friend, Ryan


17 Message by Support Tech Jared on Fri, Jul 15 2016 14:14 Glad to help. Have a good weekend!

And the other ticket that you referenced in the above ticket? Also valve never said anything in the above ticket that you were wrongly banned as you claimed. Only that the perm ban was harsh.

[MrFurley]

I just have other threads where I just also protested my innocence. Sorry , I just felt vindicated( thats why I said reversal on wrongly banned), they would never even tell me of the supposed scam I did. I know its just me saying this but I dont scam,I buy stuff then sell it at a loss most times, but whatever, I have no proof of my innocence because they would never tell me the charge. I appreciate you taking your time with this, if you wanna leave me banned, fine but I just have to say that I appreciate the site. Thanks
