• If you are not the person that was banned/muted, you are only allowed to post evidence. Trash talk is unnecessary.

Why should you be unbanned?:
So, trying this again after a month. Paid back the person I scammed and made up with him. He's said we're good to go. Posted the pictures in my last appeal and can post them here if needed. Trying to get all this cleared up and put it to rest finally. Hopefully this goes through so I can get onto SteamRep and appeal there as well since I can't appeal it until it's cleared up here. Looking forward to playing on the Skial servers as well.​

Hmmm, is there anything else you'd like to say before we make a final decision here Renengade? Keep in mind, this is your last chance to appeal.

Not really. I apologized to the guy and he said we're good now. But that was in the last appeal anyways.

And to add to that, because I was half asleep last night when I typed this up, I'm definitely not going to scam or anything like that again. I learned my lesson.

With both Steamrep and Skial, in regards to scammers, we look at integrity. Specifically, whether they are likely to perform said actions again. A key way to look at this is through apology as well as regret. A common occurrence that often results in denied "change of heart" appeals is the scammer only tends to talk about why they want to be unbanned and never about the regret for their actions.

When I told you to appeal the first time, I had to tell you to apologize and to pay the victim what you owed. Both of which you denied but eventually agreed to, that was the first negative character trait you have that shows your lack of remorse. Now, this appeal. I've dealt with change of heart appeals in the past and typically, for granted appeals, the victim says they're sorry for the danger they cause to the community and the actions they committed to the victim. In this appeal, the only reasons you've listed as to why we should remove your ban is "you're trying to get this cleared up" which shows you want your profile cleared again, "you'd like to get your SR appeal going" which shows more that you want to clear your profile, and "I'd like to play on Skial servers again" which is just you wanting something to do with your spare time. All 3 of those reasons are about you, there is not a hint of remorse in your appeal.

I shouldn't have had to give you a second chance to give any final thoughts and yet you still did not clue in that there is something lacking in your appeal, that being regret and remorse. I have discussed your appeal with an SR admin and, only because the scam you induced had very minimal loss to the victim, and you refunded and apologized to the victim, I'm lowering your SR tag to caution, your ban on the Skial servers will be lifted as well. The caution tag will remain permanent.
