Hello fellow gamers,

I am finally trying to appeal for the removal of the caution tag because i really would like to get back into trading. Recently i have started to play Dota 2 again since i had a nostalgia call from back in the day. 

But before all this has happened, let me make a quick summary of how i got the ban from FoG and, from a few years back, the Caution tag.

All of this started back in 2014 i think when i was in middle school. My friends got me into Team Fortress 2 and quickly found people along the way to play with. I usually spent my time as a kid on a public trade server or on a deathrun map on TF2. Back then, i used to look and see people that had many sorts of cosmetics and my brain as a kid wished that i could have some of those one day (I have never added money in the game at that time since i was too little). After I kept seeing people and my friends that got new cosmetics, I felt a little left out, with nothing to beat them at (meaning I was that bad at the game, not even the skill worked for me)

I decided to "cook up" some schemes of stealing the items from the people that had better cosmetics than me (For those that played tf2, i was a gibus player) and take them for myself. I would look up online for methods of scamming and, back in 2014-2015, the scamming was crashing down on, at least of what i've heard of. There was this method that i used with faking a valve copyright mark and saying in a trade offer that money will be credited in the victim's account if he accepted the trade. And there it started.

Along the way, i managed to get some of those hats on the first account 76561198121330260 but got it trade banned soon after it started. I think it lasted for 2 to 3 weeks, although im not sure.

And then i created the secound account to scam 76561198155078726 

Here, i managed to steal some items as well but soon after i started to scam, i got reported and BANNED on FoG's old website (Before FoG there was a different name from what i recall) and got busted preety quick.

Time passed, and i quitted scamming because i moved to Dota 2 in late 2015 and there were no trades that i could do. 
After a while, it was quiet. Some time in 2016-2017 i think i tried appealing here on FoG or on their old website for a ban removal with the Change of Heart reason (kinda ironic) because i had another nostalgia call and played tf2 again for a while and wanted to trade with the 3rd party bots for items and cosmetics.

Eventually, they got my ban removed but left me with this CAUTION tag since then. And then it went quiet again, for a long time.
CAUTION tag did not stop me to trade with the bots and i was alright with it.

Now, what happened with it you might wonder. Well... as i said in the first paragraph, i have gotten into Dota 2 again, and for good and would like to start sell some old skins for some real cash and trade fairly. This tag will pin a red flag on me for what i did, and it is fair for the other person that i trade with, but i am confident that i've changed. 

I am a Second Year Student at the time of writing this and i feel ashamed for what i did. It would be great to have this removed since it stains my reputation in gamer's community. With the free time i have i would like to also appeal for administration in different communities, trying to help with what i can, but i havent made my mind yet with this one.

Alright. For the admin that will read this,  i am sorry that this is as long as it is, but would like to discuss more if needed. I might have slipped some details with no intention of doing so and i want a full clear with the situation. Would highly appreciate if this appeal will be considered, but that is not my decision. Keep up the great work with managing appeals. Hope to hear from you guys soon.
