Also, a 12 hour ban is our version of a warning, we don't generally do private messages sent to the offending party.

Next time just warn me by hiding those 3 posts, you would have reached the same effect.

In this instance it was my bad. You were most definitely spamming, although I shouldn't have used the mass hide. I'd been dealing with quite a few spam raids (people posting the same spam on many trades), so that probably led to the full hide.

The ban was definitely deserved, you were reported by the OP himself, so he clearly didn't want you filling his trade with "already has one" (for most traders, owning an item doesn't matter if another could be sold for profit.), although once again, I didn't mean to use the full hide.

In my opinion it would have been more appropiate if you would have just hided my 3 posts. I don't think any of my posts, if I recall good, ever got hidden for spam. So it was kinda weird I got my first ban for spam while I wasn't trying to. Just hiding my post would have been sufficient for me to know it's considered spam and I wouldn't be posting such comments in the future anymore. You would have reached the same goal with the 'hide' function and it goes less far then banning someone(especially since this is my first time).
Altough it sucks very much that all my offers and research work are gone I understand it was a mistake and I forgive you.
Is there any option to undo the mass hide?

This is what happened: I posted 3 times "^already has one" on somebody's trade under someone who offered. Letting him know the buyers already bought one is apparently not allowed. In the hypothesis that they wanted a second, which seemed very doubtful in this case, the person that offered could have just posted 'I want a second one'. Anyway, I can understand this came over as spam though I had no intention in doing so. And I apologise for that.
What I can't understand is that I immediately got banned for this. The moderator (Champelliot) could have just hidden those 3 posts for spam and I would be more careful in the future not to posts similar comments. Instead I got banned for 12 hours(without receiving any previous warnings for spam if I recall).
What I regret the most is that all my offers in outpost got hidden and can't retrieve anymore of my offers. It took me alot of time to find some hats and I can't find them anymore now. Maybe in the future try to be less excessive? I'm sure if you would have just hided my 3 posts I would also be more careful. Any chance my offers will be revealed again so I can retrieve my hats?

So, I better report it? (and remove this thread)

I came across this trade with a link, is this allowed or not? http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/8234507

Well, I know a site that searches specific craft nr., but I don't know if I can give any links here..
