[QUOTE=Blueridge;25549552]play some free games in windowed mode so you can help xolo with the spuf thread if 2 people got their accounts disabled for no reason its much better then just one[/QUOTE] From what I've heard that thread is filled with "You deserved it" comments. My hope is riding on a detailed e-mail I sent to Gabe, not like he'll read it. This thread is currently the most entertaining thing I have.

I'll PM you the details to my minecraft acct so you can play that

[QUOTE=ghosevil;25550005]What shady busy have you involved yourself with? Any at all?[/QUOTE] I cannot recall any events that I could be reported for. I have never hacked nor know how to find and install hacks. My trades in TF2 have all been with people in my friends list or FPUK server. Valve fan for years and now I've been fucked over :frown:

BurtonJ closed the Steam thread because it is "not appropriate to discuss on SPUF". My ticket is still unanswered.

From now on ALL my trades will have this copy-pasted into it- [B]In lieu of Valve banning people for no apparent reason, please read this. In clicking trade you accept the deal we are making, and understand completely that I will NOT backtrade anything if you change your mind afterwards. In clicking trade you understand this decision is FINAL. If you agree, say I agree. If you do not agree, cancel this trade.[/B] It's utterly sad I'm resorting to this, but I'm not risking anything anymore.

This the the main reason I trade with close friends

The last thing I need is some guy trading a hat for my key, unlocking a gunslinger and then demanding I trade back. It's horrible you need to do this, but since Valve seems unable to determine true scams from faux ones it's the only safeguard left.

Valve made VAC automated and do not accept any complaints against cheaters as it is to easy to fake. Valve kept this policy in everything from griefing to account scamming. In the last year or so they started accepting reports of account scammers and disabled those accounts. Now they are accepting reports of ingame item scamming because money is involved with certain items. Not long now at this rate before they accept cheating reports for VAC, thats going to be real fun.

I think I may know who could have reported me. [url]http://steamcommunity.com/id/T0xiic[/url] Several weeks ago, he messaged me and said he was quitting TF2 for good and asked if I wanted his items. I asked if he was sure and he said yes and so he traded me his items. About a week ago he demanded his items back, long traded away for hats by this point. I told him I didn't have them and he said he wanted at least his earbuds. I told him that if it made him happy I would try to get him a new pair of earbuds and trade them back to him when I did. Today, account disabled like other people accused of scamming items and I'm not in his friends list.

Actually, you know what? I'm not about to trade my last key for a hat. This whole trading buisness is far too fucking risky now. gg Valve. You've scared me shitless.

wow that guy is a major douche-bag

Goddamn, not Painseeker too. :frown:

[QUOTE=superdinoman;25550370]Now they are accepting reports of ingame item scamming because money is involved with certain items.[/QUOTE] Purchased items aren't tradable? :confused:

[QUOTE=Djokson;25550514]Goddamn, not Painseeker too. :frown:[/QUOTE] Hey bro, good thing we have no more matches or we would be a member short. At least I'm not letting the team down.

[QUOTE=Shibbey;25550524]Purchased items aren't tradable? :confused:[/QUOTE] Keys are

[QUOTE=Shibbey;25550524]Purchased items aren't tradable? :confused:[/QUOTE] You can trade keys and shit bro. Edit: Meh Xolo beat me to it.

I've always seen VaLVE as gods. They are the best game makers ever, but this had really upset me. I love the games they make, but now they come with this. Im getting scared that finaly the VaLVE spirit will run out and all of a sudden they will slowley turn into activision.

VaLVE is the best valve out there.

[QUOTE=superdinoman;25550215]Hey thats interesting I do that too, and I take a screenshot of all my new trades.[/QUOTE] rgr, this is the warning that im giving in every trade, i just wish i could bind a key to use in the chatbox :< If you agree with the trade, say agree or cancel the trade now, i'm taking screenshot as proof for any dispute.

Hats. Serious fucking business.

[QUOTE=Murkat;25550863]Hats. Serious fucking business.[/QUOTE] Valve seems to think so, especially with the Mannconomy update. Then again everything they do is a good idea because they know people will buy stuff, they know if they disable accounts people will fight to get their accounts back or will buy a new one. Valve may be a good company in many aspects, but no matter what you think of them they are still a business and in it for the money.

You don't have to turn into a bunch of unreasonable pricks to make money. They were grossing plenty from TF2 beforehand, shitting on their customers should [i]not[/i] be in their bag of tricks to get more dough.

Seems Valve have the Steam moderators under their thumb. [url]http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1526890[/url]
