    Description
    Whilst writing an essay regarding this issue, I came across an error so I took a screenshot just in case if it appeared again to not waste any time, so the full appeal is attached.

    Please provide any and all evidence

    This is the link to the actual crab-bots.

    It contains a link to the screenshot of the notepad that my friend created as a joke.


    Please add any miscellaneous information we should know
    None.

    Is there any private information you wish to provide?

    While the "crab bots" are obviously not real, and you've provided us with a screenshot of what the text file supposedly said, selling them is still scamming.

    You advertised that you were selling them throughout the server, and maintained its existence even after being called out. It's easy to say something was a joke or a troll after the fact, but your actions did not convey that at all.

    You've maintained that you didn't accept payment, but I have not seen evidence of that. I only saw that you were attempting to sell them, despite being called out, being told to stop and various other warnings or inquiries. If this was an attempt to troll, it was taken too far and resulted in numerous users reporting you.

    I can not prove I was not accepting payment because I deleted the people already. Honestly I do not care to get the scammer tag removed, I use it to joke with people saying "Im a reported scammer plz dont trade". My friend is an actual big deal trader, and it kinda means a lot to him. (FYI, The quote we use for the crab bots is based off a csgo bind we have "Get good get Wallbots at wallbots.com") Also, it was not an attempt to troll, we were laughing out asses off as the entire server went nuts and the nerds got admins into it, but I guess we had the last laugh. We have been doing this sort of trolling on tons of tf2 servers, we were out to get banned from all tf2 servers, but little did we know getting banned from "harpoon gaming" bans us from CSGO lounge and other related websites. Kinda stupid because nobody knows anything about "steamrep" in the CS community.

    In all honestly, as a retired trader, I have no purpose for scamming, my friend who is a legit trader of CS items has no need for stupid tf2 crap. We both believe the TF2 economy is stupid, the only people I know who make it big in TF trading anymore are people who trade in huge items, or manipulate people and the market. Also, what kind of retarded scammer in any sense of the imagination would go around in a populated server trying to scam people into giving them items for something that as you even say "are obviously not real". I had a total of TWO that is right TWO complete numbskulls believing they were real. I have no proof of this obviously, but seriously? You must honestly believe we are even more brain dead then the two complete degenerates who added me.

    All in all, there is actually no way to prove us innocent, but I insist we never had any foul intentions, it was all jest and banter. I swear we shall never do anything of this magnitude ever again, you have our word. (Though I bet it means nothing to you)

    To add onto some of the things I missed, I continued to claim it was real after claims of it evidently not being real.
    The way I would do this is to say "Im toggling on now" and I would taunt. It rarely spy crabbed that time further showing it is fake, but once on a PPM server someone asked to see me crab twice in a row and I did it, so who knows? Maybe crab bots are real ;))
    But seriously, understanding that we continued to attempt to "sell" the hacks even after people telling everyone they were fake should show we were not scammers, for a true scammer would probably leave, but what do I know. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    And it was not easy to say this was a joke because I had to write a whole F**king essay for it to not go through due to problems with your finicky website. Again I do not care for the scammer tag, but my friend does.

    Just un-ban Darkbeast if anything. I dont trade anymore, and I enjoy that scammer warning when my friends and I go on steam rep. (its a conversation starter, usually involves having harpoons showed up my ass by you bby) ;D
    anyway, I have no evidence to show, if you want to really want to shove that harpoon down another foot where the sun don't shine, that is fine with me, but hopefully you might choose to show mercy on a couple of goofy goobers c:

    To be completely honest with you, I am aware there is a chance you were just trying to troll, obviously, one could also argue you were just trying to scam. You've claimed that no one should actually believe you could scam that way, but thousands get phished by bots that send them links to sreannconnnunnity, so it's not out of the realm of possibility.

    And as to you giving your word that you wouldn't do it, it's something that I would consider and possibly be able to downgrade your tags or remove them. Ultimately, I don't think what you did is right, whether scam or not, because it led to issues with others. And there's also people much younger than you, involved in this game and taking advantage of them isn't really something amusing.

    In any event, any sort of remorse I saw in the first post, was completely gone in the second, which combined with your apparent enjoyment of the tag means this appeal is denied.
