My thoughts exactly. Viva la revolución!

Hey all! :)

So I've just got back on Tf2OP from a one day ban, and while I understand that this was for a reason I had not read in the rules (Public humiliation - though not intended to humiliate, more to demonstrate I don't mess about), the secondary reason was that the trade was in fact a "Troll Trade" & "Price Manipulation". The trade in question is here: http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/10382892

Now, while I know I've done wrong by public humiliation (Of which I wrote a full letter of apology to the mod whom banned me(which was subsequently ignored)), I feel that calling this a troll trade is unjust. I was simply trying to demonstrate the idea that keys were that price and should be that price. As for calling this price manipulation, well of course it is, but It's no worse than the people who are charging well over 5 ref a key, it's just pure greed, and that's fine, apparently!

Was I doing wrong by trying to reset the key prices? Was I doing wrong by trying to help the little guys starting out in TF2? I just get the overarching feeling that this community is turning into some sort of economy driven by greed, much like governments in real life, does anyone else feel this? I was only trying to make a small change, and I instantly get beaten down by admins/mods of the communities, without trial, or even a message.

Also out of nowhere, my buying thread was also called a "troll trade": http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/11489783

Share your thoughts anyway, is this really the way things are going? I don't think I'm going to be in trading for much longer if it is!
