    I do not have any alternative accounts.

    Describe the incident that resulted in your ban
    Around 8 years ago when I was 14 I attempted to middleman scam with my friends by impersonating an Admin I believe the admin that I was impersonating was using a red and black penguin profile pic. I do not precisely remember the incident when I was reported as it was so long ago, but I know that I was never actually able to successfully pull of any scams with this and shortly after I was steamrep banned.

    Please provide any evidence or information you wish to provide
    I do not have any evidence that I could provide as it was so long ago and whoever reported me I dont know if there is access on your part in which I could go back and show any trade history to prove I didn't take any of their items. If that is the case in which you can I would love to screenshot any previous trade history with them.

    If your appeal is granted, what steps would you take to prevent a similar incident in the future
    Me attempting to scam and impersonate was a mistake and I fully own that. Since then I have significantly matured over the 8 years and there won't be another incident as I believe my character and personal growth is beyond that at this point.

    Thank you for your consideration

    Impersonation of an admin with intent to scam is a pretty severe attempt to scam, it's not something one does accidentally or in the moment. Also, it would be difficult to confirm that you haven't scammed during that time without your trade history from that time. Are you willing to provide that?

    I agree that the impersonation with the intent to scam is severe and was the mistake of a young kid theres no excuse for that.

    I have a video of my trade history going back to 2014 when I first bought CSGO, majority of the trade are between me and my friends and CSGO lounge game gambling bots. The website will not let me upload the video for some reason I have contacted you on discord and would like to send the video there.

    The screenshots provided need to be uncropped. However, while I understand it has been a significant amount of time since the ban, and I'm sure you've matured. I do think impersonation and the effort it requires is not something I'd consider a spur-of-the-moment decision. As these bans are specifically related to trade, I am hesitant to lift the ban.

    Why do you wish to have the ban lifted?
