I was permanently cautioned by you guys on February 8th 2015 for trading with scammer alts. I feel that my tag was given to me for ambiguous reasons, therefore it should be removed.

My first trade happened on January 11th. I traded with:

I traded hundreds of keys to a "scammer" for his multiple unusuals. This user was not marked on steamrep at the time, and was banned no where else besides TF2 Outpost for being a gift wrap scammer. I completely looked past this because I did not believe I could get in trouble for trading with him. The reason of why he was banned seemed so dull to me; it didn't really ever cross my mind that I could actually get in trouble for trading with him. That user was marked on steamrep on January 20th. I soon learned after the trade that he had recently scammed the sunbeams beak I had bought. This user ONLY had pending reports on Steamrep, which I noticed after the trade, and he was banned only on TF2 Outpost. I realize that this was a big trade, but I committed this trade out of pure and honest inexperience for what to look for when trading with people.

This is shown in the next trade....

The second trade happened on January 19th. I traded with:

I traded a Pro Australium FAN with a marked scammer. The user was marked AFTER the trade occured. He was banned on TF2 Outpost because he was a scammer alt. This trade was an outright mistake -- in little trades like these, I never checked the other person's information.

Both of these users were banned ONLY on TF2 outpost, and only one had pending reports at the time of this trade.

225 days ago my reputation was trashed. I have been unable to make various trades with countless users, I have been called out from others for having a tag, I have been unable to join certain servers due to it -- limiting my ability to play with friends and trade, not to mention even moderation/admin positions in servers given to me have been removed and withheld from me due to it. I understand that a punishment was needed, and I accepted it for what had been done. I show the greatest remorse I can. But these new rules with FOG marking people due only to steamrep bans and obvious alts should be applied to my ban. My punishment has been fulfilled. At the time of this post, I will be tagged for going on 225 days. In those 225 days, I have turned down countless trade offers from scammers and shady accounts -- deals that made my head spin. I have realized that it is much more important to have a good standing reputation within the community then it is to grab every deal I can. Please strongly consider my appeal. ​

I am absolutely open to answer any questions, provide any screenshots, etc.
