norfwest requesting pardon for scamming and ban evasion

Hello.

• Your profile link: norfwest
• Report/post/reason that got you banned: Norfwest
• Proof of contacting victims for repayment or repayment of victims: High Pardon Request: ETPSales and namebarter and Imgur. I believe I scammed 2 other people on off-sites for smaller ammounts in RSGP trades back in 2011, but the sites no longer operate and don't know who the victims are.
• Anything you weren't banned for but want to confess to now: I'm not entirely sure what crimes caused the bans, etc. But ... offsite (MMOE/Shadowscripting) scamming of 20-30$ ammounts twice in 2011. RS account scamming on sythe in 2011. Ban evasion in 2012.
• Detailed description of the events that took place and why you think we should forgive you: I was 13-14 in 2011 when I first started scamming (I had scammed in-game RS before). I understood it was wrong, and I'm sure I had at least a superficial understanding of why it was wrong, but I did not pay enough thought to the real reasons ... the harm it causes others and the community, the damage a lack of integrity can cause for oneself. At the time I did not behave with respect, integrity, kindness, etc. I'm still the same person, but I'm 20 now. I'm a young man who has changed a lot, of course, throughout my adolescence.

Timeline:
2011: Scamming on MMOE/shadowscripting/sythe (elvisthepup/gabeb/off-site accounts)
2012: Ban evasion on sythe (ETPSales). ETPSales was linked to gabeb/off-site accounts.
2013: Ban for scamming (elvisthepup). I turned myself in (I was feeling guilty, no prospect of playing RS/using sythe). edit: to clarify, I turned "elvisthepup" in for the 2011 rs account scam on sythe.
2018: I return to RS and sythe (norfwest). I'm linked to my past. And here I am.

• Did you fully read and follow this sticky thread in the pardon section?: yes
• Previous pardon link(s) if applicable: High Pardon Request: ETPSales and norfwest requesting a pardon for scamming/ban evasion

ETPSales pardon was denied for leaving out information of past scams.
Previous norfwest pardon was closed because I didn't handle the powerbot incident in time (I was/have been going through much RL issues this year)


edit: I understand my most recent transgression is fresh (ban evasion). I was hoping to become a more positive member of the community before I came forward. It was selfish of me to not face what I had done in the past. The small amount of trust that I've received since coming back can be seen in my vouches in sig. I'm not sure I'm going to actively return to RS and related sites, but at the very least I'd like to resolve wrongs of my past to the extent I can.

Thanks,

Gabe

 

Hello @norfwest - This pardon can start off where it left off: https://www.sythe.org/posts/29580381/ please get in contact with @Yoshiki or @chuckle to repay.

in the above post I linked to my repayment of the suspected powerbot scam on the account namebarter. Yoshiki posted in the thread a couple of days ago.

In the thread linked I above, I posted a powerbot thread in which Yoshiki posted that he unbanned me after I repaid the powerbot scam on account namebarter. Yoshiki has also now messaged wortel confirming that I repaid and was unbanned.

Thanks

Gabe

 

Thanks @norfwest - I didn't see that, I appreciate that you have made that right.

This was taken from @Wortel on your last pardon as I couldn't find anything else:

User: norfwest - Ban evading
User: elvisthepup - Ban Evasion myself)
User: gabeb - ban evader
User: ETPSales - Offsite Scammer (paid)

Probably also yours.
User: NameBarter - Not banned

Report: ETPSales - Offsite Scammer (paid)

First dispute: High Pardon Request for ETPSales (no proof of repayment)
Second dispute: High Pardon Request: ETPSales (left out information)
Third dispute: norfwest requesting a pardon (no template)

I can see from the report on PowerBot that you have been unbanned: namebarter

I would like to have you explain the shadowscripting scam, as mentioned, the site is no longer functioning but you were banned for it. Heres a post that might help you remember: https://www.sythe.org/posts/11547770/

namebarter on sythe was made by me.

ah yes the MMOE scam was the paypal for gold $42 that I repaid - i didn't realize.

The shadowscripting scam I can only remember vaguely. I remember being trusted with a certain ammount and just not following through with my end of the trade and logging out or not sending the code or whatever it was - it was a correct ban. I believe it was in 2011 as that was when I was using shadowscripting for dungeon bots and such.

 

I can confirm the debts on Powerbot are settled. (Or atleast that's what @Yoshiki claims)

 

Sorry for the wait @norfwest - Discussed this with other staff and this can now move forward as there are no debts owed.

I have placed your pardon into voting. Results can take up to two weeks and when a verdict is reached, your name will be shown in this thread as accepted or denied.

Until then, please remain patient, thank you.
