disputing ban for Eldamar

[hammera1995]

I would like to dispute the ban on Eldamar for self-vouching. I received quests services on OSRS from cpeter1210 recently. I vouched on his service after receiving services. Upon my return from vacation, he asked if I would like to partner up with him and help with the service. I agreed. Both his account and mine are now banned for self-vouching though my vouch was provided before I began working with his service.

OK, but your IP matches more than once. So why were you sharing accounts?

services provided were a partnership between myself and Chris. we are friends in real life, i actually just returned home from his house. i was given access to his account as he created the service and does not log in on weekends. My access was to ensure customers can be taken care of during those times, s well as times he was unavailable.

I've been offline all weekend, as well as Monday due to a recent job change. Prior to the weekend, I freely used my account, and actually wrapped up servicing for another member of the Scythe community. I received a ban for "Self-vouching"; however, I never once posted a vouch for myself.

I started my service alone, and began with a random player I found in game, which adds up due to the vouch the other player typed for me on his newly created scythe account. He even gave me a referral, as I informed him of Scythe.
Further down my vouches, I suspect this ban was incurred for an account named Eldamar. Eldamar is a personal friend that I have known for years. Aside from a friendship, I have no affiliation with Eldamar i.e. IP addresses differ, accounts differ, location differs, etc. Eldamar (Alex) requested a service while taking a vacation, in which I completed then received a vouch for.
Eldamar and I soon begin to serve as partners in our Questing service, as soon as he was able to return from vacation, of course. From this point forward, we would take turns servicing accounts, or split the work to maximize efficiency.

With this, the vouch Eldamar initially provided to my forum was legitimate, in which I can provide picture evidence of conversations regarding the work order and the work compete for the requested service. As well as the work order evidence, I can provide evidence of conversations regarding working together as partners in our services.
These examples of evidence, of course, provide dates.

If any other Questions arise, please feel free to post them here as I can reply from a guest account.



P.S. A moderator messaged me on Scythe stating that Eldamar and I are the same person, further stating that we shared the same IP addresses; however, that's not accurate at all. I actually have reason to believe he didn't even check the IP addresses before making this accusation. I've never connected at Eldamar's home, and he's never connected at mine. We've connected at his office simultaneously a total of two times, one of which we accessed Scythe; however, that was a public wifi.
I would like to speak with a moderator first hand to clear this rather frustrating topic up.

You are not allowed to vouch for yourself, or an irl acquaintance.

I would like to note that you do share the same IP, as well as location. You even admit to knowing each other in real life so I'm unsure why you would deny this. Now your stories don't line up.

You're also not allowed to share accounts.

• Interacting on Two or More Accounts/Sharing Accounts: You are strongly advised not to create more than one account at Sythe.org. If you do, ensure that the accounts do not interact with each other. Using a secondary account that is used SOLELY to bump threads while complying with the 8 hour bump rule (see above) is allowed. Sharing accounts is not allowed

I'm unsure how to post a response on a current thread without owning an active account.

None of the "story" was denied. Neither of us denied knowing each other in real life. The reason for our accounts being banned was Self Vouching, which did not occur. We do not share the same IP addresses. We may have shared an IP address for the course of a few hours (When we met up with out laptops); however, we have primary IP addresses. I can provide both my office and home IP address, and have Alex provide both his office and home IP address.
With this information, you'll be able to identify the date I was at Alex's office.

Regardless of this information, we are deviating from the focus of our appeal. Both of our accounts were banned for a service resulting in a vouch for the service. How can we provide the needed evidence to reverse this? I can provide screenshots of conversations, IP addresses, and perhaps other forms of evidence to provide proof that a case of "Self Vouching" didn't occur.

You do share the same IP address, on more than one occasion. Doesn't matter if it was for a few hours or not, that's sharing the same IP address.

I've already pointed out this regardless if you aren't the same person: You are not allowed to vouch for yourself, or an irl acquaintance.
as well as not being allowed to share accounts, which Eldamar has admitted to already: "i was given access to his account as he created the service and does not log in on weekends."

Even if you didn't fake vouch, you shared accounts which is still a bannable offence.

Closing this.
