lol ur too paranoid.. steam dont ban u for having 1 or more account :D

valve is paranoid lol

and all this is their own fault, who told them to release a massive World of Team Fortress 2

ah well….
so i guess you guys are unlucky with the support since the german support is really great for me actually the answer emails within like an hour :D

well in mah case they now need to contact the guy that bought the game and gave it to me as a gift which is why it takes even longer :/
though i think we all have a good chance of getting our accounts back in max a week :D

so keep it up guys !!

If you buy something soon on steam, save the e-mail with the transaction-number in it. so you can post this as a proof that it’s your steam account. The proof must not have anything to do with tf2.

greed is bad.

Ok so i was googling a bit and i found this: http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1011093

it seems like valve is really going crazy now !

also i have found this:
GreenMarine, Valve Employee posted:
Funny you should ask. We just decided today that speaking about how we address this problem publicly might help word get around.

We nuke scammers from orbit. We deactivate their accounts. This means they lose access to all steam products.

We are investigating less harsh methods of punishment. As of today we may begin nuking the violator’s inventory completely on the first offense and then closing their account on a successive offense. We are also investigating the possibility of simply disabling trade for violators or other methods of escalating punishment.

We are pretty good at determining whether actual fraud took place and also some types of not-really-fraud (like complaining about a bad trade) are ignored.

This doesn’t really address the guys who scam from an account bought just for scamming, but it should discourage casual scamming.

Victims have their items restored if real fraud is determined.

a friend of mine sent this to me via mumble i couldnt find the site but i doubt that anyone would make something like this up

I don´t get this.How do they know if some trade is a scam or its just a gift from one player to another?

They see a suspicious trading and then they disable the account of the guys involved? That sounds so bullshit. Perhaps another new excuse to make people spend more money :),pathetic.

Anyways,thanks for posting it.

Btw,Shifty,what do you think you did that made Valve disable you account? I´m just curious.

@Hiper,
i was helping people that were scaming, i didnt actually recieve a hat from scaming all i did was saying: “oh yes this works” That was basicly it. I would understand it if they would like idk maybe delete my backpack or shit like that but since i never actually got a hat from scamming i think that this kind of punishment is just way to harsh.

So ahm yeah i will see, i also wrote a email to the man himself “Robin” (i did not get the automatic holloday msg) if i somehow get lucky and he replies i will make a ss and upload it here.
The point is that so many peeps got their hole acount disabled recently, just go google it and put “last week” in the search options….its crazy !
But yeah really all we can do is wait.
I just think its sad for the peeps that actually didnt do anything what so ever . I know a guy that just rarely play tf2 anymore (like once in 2 weeks) and i can proof that he wasnt scamming cause i was playing with him…he still got his accoint disabled.
Lets just hope that they start being humans and not “buissnes robots”

cheers Shifty

also sorry for the spelling but ipod keys are just to small :D
