Banned for something that does not break the rules (cleared by another Admin)
You have been banned permanently by sirploko. The reason for this ban is as follows:
"100's of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ BLOCKED due to their tiny brain not processing the above!

I cant understand why ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ can't read."


This is correct - I have it on my posts and have had it on for over a year!. Also others (not many) a similar message. Other don't get blocked or banned (I tried - as if ya think mine is bad you should of seen the message one guy left)!!!!.

Anyway to cut a long story short the admin said it was fine as it is not insulting anyone directly - now weeks & weeks later someone has obviously reported me an a DIFFERENT Admin has decided that the rules are different.

I have stated on several occasions that I wish they would all 'sing from the same hymn sheet'.

Whether you like my text or not - it is not directed at an individual, that much is clear.

Could an Admin please respond to this query.

Kind regards,

Well, rule 2 states:

"No insults. We do not tolerate any kind of abusive language or general rude attitude towards any users."

Outpost lets their moderators interpret these rules as they seem fit. In that light, using derogatory language aimed at users (even if not specifc) could fall under rule 2. If outpost had more staff then maybe they could do multiple reviews of these types of bans. Sadly they dont, so I would suggest not posting anything that could be associated with any of the rules.

Ignorant posts like this are the reason half of them don't get a response. I can assure you that they are all looked over. You simply don't get that your post was rude and does in fact brake the rules.

Well I got Banned yesterday for "Massive relisting" or re-listing if we are using the correct grammar. I can only make 10 trades and I was selling a few games I had purchased spare copies of during the sale through trading and the other half of my trades where buying keys and selling cs-go items, So i had 4 copies and wanted 5 keys for each and opened 4 trades for those items. Having to ask a friendly admin I know to explain to me what I did wrong. I think its only Temp I'm hoping till tomorrow, Ive had thousands of trades on many servers and tried to be a good member of the community.
Nobody replied or lifted my ban yet, so Ive been not trading for the last two days.
I did not get any replies and feel my lesson was quite well understood. So we all make mistakes we are human. I understand now why it creates more entries and was not something I really thought possible on my end as we sign in through steam itself to gain access, to the outpost web-servers well hint there, we should be using a encrypted page each time , so if you don't see the valve lock box then your probably not signing into an encrypted page in my eyes, and the linking is wrong or just dodgy as 50 percent of the time where then taken to a non encrypted page according to my web browser.
So I think feedback could be in regards to what I read above was just amazing, maybe some more polite feedback. I'm happy to be patient and wait my ban out seeing as I actually made a honest mistake.
Yet when or if I have to which is not very often if a handful of times make a report on some one directly, they tend to respond with good advice or knowledge.
Maybe you could employ more admins or update the rules accordingly.
I would happily offer my assistance although my internet is quite slow and considering I live half way over the other side of the world, it would not be viable.
Father more how can items when they are listed on outpost generate some attention from constant phishing bots adding trying to send add as friends on steam or request to do so. I feel that this is un normal for some reason and should not occur only the result of a security hole between steam and tf2outpost or some kind of plugin or software run on those machines.
There has been some really good spotting from other people with so called bots advertising or trade offering for low amounts. Bots clearly get away with this and not having to list there trade owners in many trades on outpost. Some bots are useful they should be limited to one an account - if other players are regulated by so many rules under considerable competition.
other users constantly doing the same thing and to keep up with the competition or even get a few trades I was following what I thought was within reason as others where doing that.
So I can see the use of these systems maybe 15 hour ban or similar would have been an easier way or just a simple communication message please do this don't do this read the updated rules ect.
You have way too many bans on record. You don't seem to learn how to follow rules.

Also, read the forum rules.
