thanks for that.

Not sure it it's a problem with one of the ad serves since I am not premium ever since I was asked to provide evidence of a steam market transaction but yes, every time I leave outpost open Chrome will eventually open one of those phishing VIRUS DETECTED ransomware sites, forcing me to kill my chrome process.

Just an FYI, why I no longer donate to your site. Take this as a lesson in business acumen.
So, all in all I am an honest guy. I earn an honest pay check and choose to spend my money however I feel free to. One of those outlets was supporting my hobbies that occupy my time. In this case it was acting as a contributing donator to TF2 outpost since I used it's services.

All is well, I'm a happy donator giving back to the community for the services provided to me and then one day I get an add from one of your admins completely out of the blue. The add was relative to this trade: http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/23991115#latest

In summary your admin accused me of selling earbuds to a scammer, when in reality I had sold the earbuds to the Steam Community Market and whomever it was that purchased the buds was allegedly a scammer. Proof of which was provided to your admin. All in all the time to gather the evidence and listen to the false accusations occupied my free time and for what? What was the long term goal we were trying to achieve here?

So in summary, you basically policed and accused an honest contributing donator with very little evidence to support your administrator's accusations. The pompous attitude of your admin was appalling considering the evidence and the fact that I was:
1, Innocent.
2. A donator.
3. Accused with very limited support to back up the accusation.

So guess what, I stopped donating and will never donate to your site again.

I just thought I would share this with you to help improve your future services.

Understood, just sucks when the good guys have to take a hit on behalf of the bad guys.
Is what it is I guess.

I agree, and I don't engage in illicit activities what so ever which is the reason why I have a problem with all of this.

Paying $15, posting a trade, then opening a ticket for spam led to me having to stop everything I was doing and spend 30 minutes of my time justifiying what ultimately was a Steam Community Market transaction.

My apologies if we think differently and you don't see a problem here.

Understood, I normally would have said go f*ck yourself because it is my private information that I was asked to share. Although, I do have a $15 vested interest in your site due to my premium status. And, as I stated before, I complied to protect my premium status.

I am here to use your site for trading purposes, not for my Steam Community Market transactions to be scrutinized.

So as a paying-customer, I ask what is done to ensure that the evidence provided justifies a trade history request? I make over 2,000 Steam Community Mareket transactions a month. Why did I have to show my private trade history in regards to a Steam Community Market transaction?

Also, why was this request spawned by my ticket no notify admins that my trade was being spammed?

What's going on here is a real bad business model I see as a user of your services.

Folks, I recently sold an item on Steam Community Market. Afterwards, a moderator from TF2 Outpost added me asking me to provide him with seven days of my trade history due to the fact the item somehow ended up in a banned users profile.

I complied with the request since my premium membership was being jeapordized, but the fact is I did nothing wrong by selling an item on the Steam Community Market.

Trade Inventory History is not public information, otherwise it would be available to all users.

Does anyone know if it is a violation of Steam's TOS to request trade inventory history from another user?

Thanks Archanor. That fixed it.

same problem here with Chrome.. have to use IE now.. yuck.
