Hi guys, I'll try to keep this as concise and as organised as possible.

Previous Pardon #1: http://www.sythe.org/dispute-forum-archive/1535031-vlad-da-vamps-pardon.html
Pardon #2: http://www.sythe.org/dispute-forum-archive/1651787-vlad-da-vamps-pardon.html

As both of these scam reports happened around the same time, I have assumed that they both contributed to me being banned.

Scam Report #1: http://sythe.org/report-scammer-archive/712418-vlad-da-vamp-scammer.html
Response: http://www.sythe.org/report-scammer-archive/712835-response-vlad-da-vamp-scammer.html
Description: I was buying an Xbox LIVE account from Recidivism. I began the recovery process and the information provided was invalid, so I requested the information once more to clarify. After a discussion, he stated that he'd recover the account and then provide me with the details. Afterwards, he states that the email has been changed. I request the details from him again, at which point he began to accuse me of scamming. I had begun to get frustrated at this point, and I told him that I will not pay him unless he is able to give me to details in order to access the account. He then stated he'd be posting a scam report against me.

Scam Report #2: http://www.sythe.org/archives/717748-vlad-da-vamp-scammed-me.html
Response: http://www.sythe.org/dispute-forum-archive/725027-vlad-da-vamp-ban-dispute-thread-2-a.html
Description: I sold a Runescape account to .:Goreonius:.. He contacted me a few days later requesting that I refund him the money for the account, which I declined. He posted a scam report a week later claiming that I had recovered the account, without contacting me. After I was banned, I contacted him to state I would pay him the money, and got the response that I did. I know it may seem somewhat suspect that this would happen, but I think could perhaps carry on into the next point I would like to discuss.

Suspected Ban Reason: Screenshot requesting contact with Shane ("Sigex")
Since my 2 pardons in 2013, I've spent a lot of time thinking about this and following Farcast's thread that was posted alongside my second pardon: http://www.sythe.org/spam-forum/165...nd-users-fuckery-shouldnt-allowed-pardon.html and FireZ's post in my second pardon thread: http://www.sythe.org/12975692-post6.html I came to the conclusion that there must be something that I was linked to which I was unaware of. Since speaking with Farcast, I found out that Shane was Sigex, and I realised that it must be linked to the screenshot that was posted to the Staff Lounge of me asking the user if he knew how I could contact Sigex. I know exactly how this looks, but speaking with complete honesty, I was curious as to why he was known to the extent he was. I did eventually find his MSN. I asked him a few questions, I can't remember what, to which he didn't answer and attempted to phish my email. I called him a fag (I admit, not the best response, but this was 2009) at which point he blocked me. I found out about the screenshot through staff I knew at the time who let me know about it, but I wasn't concerned about it at the time, since I wasn't thinking about my image. I do not believe that there could be any more evidence of my link to Sigex other than this screenshot as that was the only brief contact we ever had. If I am wrong with this reasoning and FireZ reads this, please let me know if you can about what I have done which caused the reaction it did.

Proof of contacting victims: Both users are now banned from Sythe, I do not believe it's possible for me to contact them to further discuss what happened.

Anything you weren't banned for but want to confess now: As I highlighted in my previous pardon appeals, I have ban evaded since being banned.
Account #1 (March 2010, 113 posts): http://www.sythe.org/members/262891-eman-s.html
Account #2 (June 2010, 415 posts, 2 vouches): http://www.sythe.org/members/274748-luring-king.html
Note: Account #2 was banned by admission: http://ww2.sythe.org/dispute-forum-archive/1078679-vlad-da-vamp-let-me-admit-some-shit.html
Account #3 (April 2015, same handle, only used to PM): http://www.sythe.org/members/443809-vladdavamp.html

If you ask me why I've ban evaded, I can only give you guys the answer that I miss Sythe. I joined the community when I was 14 in 2007. I spent the next 2 years quite literally growing up here alongside everyone. I'm 21 now, studying at university, and I will never be able to forget what it's like as it's a part of me. I made the accounts I did because I missed what it was like to be here. I admit that I caused my fair share of dispute and controversy in the community, and I can only say that what's it's like when a teenager going through a difficult age spends all of his time here. I remember how much fun I used to have, and how many friends I made. I wasn't a popular kid in my school at the time, and spending time here was a complete opposite of what it was like for me in school. I still talk to a lot of people who I met here, such as DorianKing, and Chantecleer. I would honestly say that Chant is one of my best friends. We've never met in real life, but I speak to him for multiple hours everyday over Facebook. He knows more about me than anyone else who knows me in real life does, and I have Sythe to thank. I missed a lot of people, and while I was ban evading, I thought it would make me feel like I was part of the community again. It did, but it didn't have the effect I was after. I couldn't be myself, because I was constantly in fear that if I was myself that someone would catch on. After I became good friends with Tmoe while I was on the account "Luring King," I realised that since I was constantly lying about who I was, it was futile. I proceeded to give him some RSGP as he had recently lost some on one of his account, admitted to him who I was, and left. I posted the thread mentioned above to come clean and have the account banned. The most recent account I did not attempt to conceal, I thought about the community once again and I really missed it. I made it, sent a few PMs to those who I remembered, and that was it. I understand that I broke the rules and it is not something to take lightly, to put it bluntly, I just missed my old friends. I think I should mention that with none of my accounts while ban evading did I cause any harm or scam the community, or cause malice - I did it to try to be a part of the community again.

I was banned 6 years ago, and since then, I still love being here. I am without a shadow of a doubt remorseful that I was arrogant and careless enough to be banned, and it was obviously the correct choice for staff to make at the time with the information they had. I have developed greatly as a person since then, and even in the time since my last appeal for a pardon. I've spent countless hours here, talking about Runescape, talking about life, talking about literally nothing in the spam forum, and if I had the opportunity I would do all of it again because for a long time this community was the best thing in my life. I would like to thank anyone who's read through this and if you need clarification on anything please ask.

I owe a large part of the enjoyment I've had in my life to Sythe and especially those who I have met here, and I really hope that I may be able to experience it again.

Did you fully read and follow this sticky thread in the pardon section? Yes.
