1) The question asked was already answered but I'll answer it again: No, you may not make any kind of reference to a trade that does not belong to you.

2) Sneeza already said that he will not ever tag hats as duped or not in the site, and the same principle applies to out users as well (that's why there's a rule forbidding this).

3) All items' values are subjective. If one cares about a hat being duped or not is not our problem. It's not our responsibility to teach people how to trade or the supposed value of things. If one wants to take up this job they are welcome to, as long as trades are not being used exclusively for that and other people are left alone.

4) This is not a place to comment on each other's ability to do or understand anything. If things get personal then we expect them to be carried on privately, not here.

And because of #4, I'm locking this.

All you had to do was make it public again. Doing all of that only makes things worse.

Saying "be sure to check for duping as there are some offers on here for duped versions" I think should be fine.

If the buyer cares for this they will check the item's history regardless of this statement being present or not.

The rules apply to everyone. If we make an exception on this case then we would have to allow all kinds of indirect trade references.

No, what other users are selling has nothing to do with your trade. If one cares about duping then they should do some research before buying. You can't go around saying things are duped, regardless of the location you do it (other's trades, your trades, etc).

We don't concern ourselves with this kind of event (Steam Chat), unless it contains evidence of a scam or other serious offense.

Usually people learn their lesson after the first offense. You didn't, you also don't seem to care and give us these lame excuses. 7 bans is more than enough.

Also, there are many people who manage to have 0 bans talking to the same 3000+ people.

No point discussing this, locked.

I would like to pick just one trade to match other peoples trade with.

This should go in the suggestions forum.

You need to show evidence that you recovered your account. Email helen [at] tf2outpost [dot] com explaining what happened and make sure you include uncropped screenshots of your Steam Support ticket, thanks.

Please report it onsite, not here. Thanks.

Taken care of. Next time, use the report option in the site (report a trade or comment by the user).
