Dont have exact details, but the last ticket I submited took just under a month to be addressed. I am in no way attacking the outpost staff. You guys work very hard to keep the site up and running. I am only questioning the strictness of the rules with such limited rescources.

I've had plenty of experiences where traders act exeptionally rude or intentionally try to scam me. I have also been banned for citing someone on my trade. I think the biggest problem with outpost is that because they are so short cut on staff, I feel obligated to take things into my own hands. It doesnt feel good to be verbally assulted, and then to have to wait a month for resolution (often much after I had forgoten about the whole matter).

I know the outpost rules are meant to help the community as a whole, but I also know that outpost is not equiped to take up such an extreme task. When mods do finally get to a case, it seems that they do often miss important details of the situation. I would love to just browse outpost and flag every abusive comment, but I dont feel like im helping in the slightest.

To sum it up, unless outpost plans on a substantial increase in staffing, the community might as well be self policed. I guess im arguing for the right to confront sellers about the value of their items, the right to verbally defend myself, and to be honest, theres a reason we have explicit words... Theres a time and a place for everything, and with the mods stretched so thin it seems fair that the outpost rules should become less stringent.

pretty sure you gotta tab out, go to their steam accout page, use it to find their backpack, then check the history. All i about 20 seconds :)

Well, rule 2 states:

"No insults. We do not tolerate any kind of abusive language or general rude attitude towards any users."

Outpost lets their moderators interpret these rules as they seem fit. In that light, using derogatory language aimed at users (even if not specifc) could fall under rule 2. If outpost had more staff then maybe they could do multiple reviews of these types of bans. Sadly they dont, so I would suggest not posting anything that could be associated with any of the rules.

Had the same problem. All you need to do is change the "https//" that steam gives you into "http//".

I knew I would feel stupid, but I was not expecting to feel that stupid. Thank you for pointing that out. I believe you've answered all my questions

Thanks for the advice, Ill send in a support ticket. I've heard that they take a very long time, but again that is understandable. I have personally found it rather difficult to find outpost guides and rules on the website. I was surprised that you responded so quickly, but it would be very helpful to have direct links in the site. The only way I can find the rules is by searching for them in google.

Thank you for the quick reply. I realize that you deal with a ton of infractions, and probably don't have enough time to check up on all of them if you give verbal warnings. The exclusion of ALL shaming, I would argue, is also due to outposts relatively limited resources. I do not believe what I did wrong, but I understand the circumstances of the instant ban. I would only get hate from posting such a minor act of scamming on steam rep or in a ticket. There isn't really a way to condemn these minor incidents that I know of.

Again, thank you and have a great day!
