    Why do you think you should be unbanned?
    This is my second appeal. first appeal is here - http://forums.f-o-g.eu/threads/5252...owngrade-ban-appeal-nightshade.html#post54834 .

    First of all you gave me 3 reasons - 1. I deleted him before but I readded him after outpost banned me from trading him to inquire him about his keys. It shouldn't effect my ban anyway when I delete him. Also, I can show you that I haven't traded with him after 8th of February because I got suspicious and also because I deleted him and how would I trade with him if I deleted him. 2. the 7th and 8th of February trades I treat them as single trade as I ran out of time on 7th of February and decided to continue transaction on 8th of February. And if you think I am hiding things I can screenshot my whole inventory history from when I got a warning from outpost. 3. So if I trade for money I am a scammer. That is not the right attitude. Have I any reports anywhere that I scammed anyone? I don't see how trading with apparent "scammer alts" makes me a scammer and lets just emphasize here how these guys are not scammers but "apparent scammer alts". I mean what do you want me to do, You say I am hiding things, I offer you my password if you want, you can look at it yourself.

    By the way you have marked this guy as caution - http://forums.f-o-g.eu/threads/4989-same2me.html . Even though he admitted to scamming a giftwrap. Unusual or a giftwrap scamming is scamming and you have marked him as caution and not a scammer knowing very well his greed could get the best of him and he might scam another unusual.

    And I would also like to point out -

    If you knowingly trade with banned profiles or obvious scammer alt accounts (with extremely low hours), you are putting your reputation at risk. SteamRep's policy is to be understanding when an innocent trader makes a mistake or when the monetary value is relatively low. Yet, we cannot encourage scammers to profit from their theft. ​
    New traders: New traders who are unaware of SteamRep will not receive penalties to their reputations, but will receive a one-time warning.
    First offense:
    Item/Game trades: You will receive a one-time warning for any high-value item or game trade with a BANNED account or an obvious scammer alternate account. (This warning will be a temporary CAUTION tag that will be removed when you contact SteamRep admins.)
    Cash trades: You will receive a CAUTION reputation tag for cash exchanges for high-value items with a banned scammer or obvious alternate scammer acount. Helping scammers profit is not something we can encourage.
    Second offense:
    You were already warned: You will receive a CAUTION reputation tag.
    You already have a CAUTION tag: You will be BANNED for working with scammers.
    Third offense: You will be BANNED for participating in fraud.

    This clearly states that I get a caution tag and not a scammer tag. So I don't know why you are marking me as a scammer.

    Also if you want specifically how many exact trades I did with Awesome, there are 6-10 exact trades but that's just because he was uncomfortable and wanted me to split the transaction into multiple trades and paypal transactions.

    1. The report you linked wasn't marked caution for "scamming giftwrap", the person he traded with did that offense.
    It was the same as your report (trading w/ scammer/alts).

    2. Doing cash trades with scammers/alts is a insta ban, as you directly help them cashing out their stolen goods.
    We have zero-tolerance against people like you, and we even discussed this with SR.

    3. We never allowed you to re-appeal. Please do not make any further appeals or you will risk getting banned on these forums too.

    Rejected & Locked.
