This is not valid evidence. And this is not the location for scammer reports.

I'll check it out later.

Did you not see what I said? The ban appeal on the site was broken. Everytime I refreshed the page to type something it said it was closed and reposted my original reply asking why I was banned.

It is not broken. It's a form page. If you fill it with data, submit and then refresh it the data is sent again (browsers do that automatically). That's why it sends the same thing multiple times.

This is getting absolutely ridiculous, the number of ban appeals is piling up in the general discussion sections. Folks, when you get banned you can appeal the ban right on the site, NOT HERE!

I new rule is being added to the forum rules to forbid site ban appeals.

As for the ban reason, this is similar to using objectors to gain attention, along with other things.

The item should attract attention by itself. If you had changed the letters order to YAG it would be a totally different thing. People are using this "artifact" to get attention to other items too, such as unusuals and promos, just like objectors used to. This will not be tolerated.

Some people are offended by these trades, and we also have a good share of young users. The word itself may not be offensive "as is", but it leads to many problems and reports that could be easily avoided by changing the letters order. And if the buyer wants to spell "GAY" he can always buy the letters, no matter what the trade's letter placement is.

Don't use the forums to appeal, that's what the site is for.
An admin will look into it as soon as possible.

Any eta on when this will roll out?

We're aiming to launch it this week. I don't have exact details - we're still waiting on the Paypal account to be verified, and I'm just adding some polish to the update. There's quite a lot of visual and backend changes; some you'll notice and some you won't.

Stop attacking each other. This is the last warning. Stay on topic or stay quiet.

1. I have nearly completed the whole forum without any help from anyone. The position is just an administration position. Someone who assists me with keeping the forum up to date. Of course I won't know if it will succeed, you never know that. And no, I am not paying people. I am looking for someone interested with a bit of spare time. It's not a 24/7 job.

Then you are contradicting yourself. You just said:

If you need someone to "set it up" then it's not just an "administration" position.

2. If so my apologies, How ever the thread is still open and I am not really harming anyone.

It is still open because I'm trying to understand what TF2 Outpost has to do with it.

Originally posted by Filth™:

3. No, Just a forum section. I doubt a free forum that hasn't even opened will "affiliate" with a website that get's used by thousands of members a day.

Then what TF2 Outpost has to do with it? You said it would be "on it". I'm not sure what this statement means.

Originally posted by Filth™:

Not trying to be rude, But your stating quite a bit without actually knowing what I am trying to do or who I am.

I'm trying to understand what you are trying to do. I've run many communities, including forum-based (PHPBB, Drupal, XOOPS, IPB) for the past ~ 10 years, I believe I can speak a little about this.

1) it seems you are asking people to do all the work for you.. usually the founder is the one who creates/sets things up and build it from scratch, not "hired" people. You are also expecting people to work for free on a project that does not exist yet and that you have no idea whether it will succeed or not.

2) This is not a place to recruit people or advertise communities (existing or not).

3) What "TF2 Outpost" means? Do you mean becoming an affiliate?

You should send this to Valve, not us. We don't control the trading market, i.e. we don't tell anyone what they can trade or not. That's Steam's job.

And even if we "forbid" these keys from being added to trade ads people would still trade them and use others sites to advertise their deals. It doesn't make any sense to do what you are asking as it will have no influence over its sales and probably will only hurt us at the end.
