But as an anon only. If I use my name, I use a trip, just because of shit like that. So pretty much someone was posing as me too just to get me banned.

[QUOTE=Vipes;44958007]So, here's a list of things I found out I can not do: I can not accept friend requests I can not trade I can not download workshop addons I can't comment on anything, even my own statuses or workshop items I can not send friend requests I can not log into websites that require signing into your Steam Account I can not use workshop addons I can not login to new devices or computers I can not use the marketplace I can not buy anything I'm sure there's more, but thats all I tried. So far there's only two things I can do; Log into existing devices Talk to friends already on friendslist[/QUOTE] You can accept friend/group requests still. The website's accept button works for one, the steam friends list's accept button works for the other. It sucks to be wrongly banned. I had been recently too, but only for a week. An entire year seems ridiculous. [editline]31st May 2014[/editline] Don't expect to change your name soon, either.

[quote=MacDGuy] Hello, I'm the owner of GMod Tower. I wanted to clear things up a bit. Vipes came to me and created the Blastoff Cap for GMod Tower. He was the sole author of the hat. The only part that I handled was putting it on to the GMod Tower content and server. In other words, he did not steal the content from us. He made the hat for us and I allowed him to republish/recreate it here for TF2. [/quote] Hoping someone from Valve will see this and correct the mistake. I sent this thread to a friend who works there so maybe something will come of it.

It's horrible to get a ban for something you made from scratch. Such wonderfull Garry's Mod community as usually.

Dude 4chan is a fucked up place....

[QUOTE=BigBadWilly;44964724]Dude 4chan is a fucked up place....[/QUOTE] If you know where you're going it isn't. /m/, /vr/ are good. /x/ use to be a great place, now it's just /b/ 2.0, and /vg/, /vp/ use to be good as well. It's a shame all this happened simply because I made a hat for TF2 and wanted it to get in. It's all kinds of fucked up.

-snip, meant to hit edit-

I smell all sorts of shit from this.

[QUOTE=Gentleman Cat;44970852]I smell all sorts of shit from this.[/QUOTE] What do you mean?

If I were you, I'd keep complaining until they actually bother checking this out. I feel with you man.

Steam doesn't really give a fuck who it affects just simply enforces the rules it's planted and that's all.

[editline]2nd June 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=Persious;44974422]If I were you, I'd keep complaining until they actually bother checking this out.

[QUOTE=Persious;44974422]If I were you, I'd keep complaining until they actually bother checking this out. I feel with you man.[/QUOTE] I remember my permabanned friend telling stories for them. Until they said "Stop complaining or we'll suspend your support account". Now he uses new steam account

So basically they have a YouTube like system in place where any schmuck can come and say "DMCA DMCA" and they take it down with no questions asked and no investigation. Not only that they follow the we won't tell you shit and we won't listen to you policy. I expected better of valve I really did.

[QUOTE=Vipes;44975673]I have a feeling the next step will be a steam account closing.[/QUOTE] You don't know what can happen unless you try. You should probably try. I cant tell if its Valve's problem (their policy) or its the moderators problem.

For the record, very few people on tf2g actually dislike vipes or have a problem with his content. The entirety of the negative attitude regarding vipes is generating by just one guy who is seemingly obsessed with him. He originally just posted the blastoff cap every couple days trying to get people to report it for stealing (from gmt which you've shown is not the case), and then samefagging for an hour to make it look like anyone actually cared about this hat. In the past month or two he's escalated to posting vipes' personal information, linking all his facepunch posts with derisive comments, and even accusing him of rape. This isn't tf2g, it's just some crazy guy who's trying to start an anti-vipes crusade or something.

I even post there, so I pretty much know the shit the stalker does. It's just pitiful. [editline]2nd June 2014[/editline] Oh how fun, I seem to have come across something I worked on for GMTower, reuploaded by someone else who had no permission from me, or GMT. [url]http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=262819837[/url] Yet I'm the one who sits here with a one year ban.

Flagged that Mario Model. Pisses me off when people just reupload.

My alt steam account was perma'd from the community because someone mass flagged my profile and it was disabled for "being disruptive to the community." I dont even use it

Guys, he stole from GMT, not from me. But thanks. It was just many of the things I worked on/for/improved for GMT. [QUOTE]Will be changing the overalls to blue soon[/QUOTE] It's called having a texture white for playercolor support. Not my fault you don't know what to do with it. Go ahead and ruin it. [editline]2nd June 2014[/editline] So I took a look into the Mario Addon. Holy shit, it contains everything from GMT Playermodel Pack. But the only model it has is the Mario one. Posting pics won't do anything, so if you got gmad extractor, just extract it. You'll see. [editline]2nd June 2014[/editline] [t]http://i.imgur.com/NdZyCRk.png[/t] Fucking disgrace.

I barely post on Facepunch but what happenned to Vipes is imo a huge disgrace to him and to every workshop uploaders. I'm a good friend(?) of him and he had alot of good stuffs uploaded on workshop, I was planning to use some of his contents for my own community but we had to shut it down. This is a huge middle fingers to every workshop uploaders, you make something included in a pack with your name on it, you reupload it because you made it, yet, kids report you for stolen content and Steam doesn't bother giving a damn about the story and just ban, that's a disgrace. I also sent a steam support ticket to support Vipes and try to get him unbanned but I haven't got any answers yet (And probably won't). What piss me off too is peoples from 4chan and websites like that who shittalk about him, they should seriously read the workshop description of the gmt addon instead of proving their huge ego on a website like 4chan. Sorry for my bad english, i'm french canadian

Real Pathetic of valve to handle it like this and not take a second look at it, then again if they get 10000 mails like these daily for a not valid ban reason they cannot handle them all with care. Seems like you got incredibly unlucky. However this is really really idiotic.

I'm just going to stop complaining and take the ban. Maybe I do deserve it.

[QUOTE=Vipes] [topic:I kinda broke the rules and posted a blog thread.] [url]http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1397522[/url] Thread should be locked, and I should get a ban for it. I'm sorry for breaking the rules, I was told the next ban I get would be perma.. and well, I blew it. So I guess this would make this a perma ban.[/QUOTE] ??????????? locked ok fine, but sort yourself out.
