Why should you be unbanned?:
First off I'd like to say that I'm using a format that should apply to the format that skial uses, I had gotten the format off of SteamREP as I see it goes in more detail. Also it's kind of an appeal for skial and SeamREP, if clarification is needed I can explain in more detail.

Appeal Plea: I commited the offense(s), I admit it.
Appeal Reason: [Other] Another reason (Not commonly accepted) The "other reason" is because I want to continue to gain my rep as I have 13 pages already, and I have never had any other offense besides the one here and on my alt, I've never had a trade ban, never scammed, and I like to joke around. I'm sorry that I took a joke too far. Plus this is my first appeal, I think we all deserve a second chance.
Victim Repayment: No, I committed no fraud or had no direct victims (I impersonated, but I never scammed, or intended to harm anyone.)
Previous Appeals: None, this is my first appeal here

Appeal description:
Dear whom this may concern,

I would like to attempt to make an appeal, as the ban on my alternate account here: http://steamrep.com/profiles/76561198035917450 has a ban from 291 days ago. As it was banned for impersonating a staff member here: http://steamrep.com/profiles/76561198020525488, I do admit that I had impersonated him, but the question remains, did I scam? The answer is no, never in my life have I scammed. I find it really annoying and I have even been scammed myself from key trading and knives. The reason being that I impersonated a middleman was to mess around with people for a video and mainly to joke around with my friends, I had no intentions of scamming what so ever.

As stated by
"3:01 PM - Vintage Cobra | 1,500 games!: Because of people like you, people who volunteer their time and effort to keep the community safe, get their accounts banned and shutdown because of false reports, due to impersonators."


So if my intentions were not to scam, then how would I even make this possible for someone to receive false reports? It was a joke for a video and some good laughs, but being marked for having an alternate account that's very unreasonable as my alt account doesn't even have any rep and doesn't have any trade bans. The account that I'm using now is my trade account and all of my reputation is on my Steam comments (13 pages worth) A small joke turned into a whole different story that I didn't even expect to happen, has changed the way I can trade. I was never banned or marked for scamming and I've never scammed before (just like everyone else says).

I really hope that I can receive a second chance because I do take trading serious and I NOW understand why impersonating someone can go wrong even if there is no intentions to harm someone. Again it was for a joke and some good laughs with a few friends, but I don't see why a ban so old should get a new account with a clean slate an old ban. I've taken lots of time to make my account clean, safe, and ban free.

Just because of an impersonation which was a one day occurrence shouldn't change the way a fresh start begins, please understand that I never intended to harm, hurt, or scam anyone during the process of the impersonation. I just really want a second chance.

Thanks for your consideration and time,
Cody

P.S. Sorry for ranting, I'm just really angry and upset at the same time, I can't even trade now without being called a scammer, when I'm not even marked for scamming.

Appeals to SteamRep and skial will need to be addressed to those groups - they are entirely separate organizations.

You are banned here because of the SteamRep ban - and will remain banned here until/if that is addressed.

You were banned by us for impersonating one of our middlemen. You were banned by skial for impersonating one of their middlemen. Both of our tags landed on your account because of that infraction. It does not matter what your intentions are, there are so many users who impersonate both administrators and middlemen, it would be unfair to judge them on their intentions case-by-case, but to judge them all for the obvious intention which is to defraud the person being targeted, by defrauding the image of a known individual.
