Since my past thread wasn't taken seriously and many got confused, I am making this one.
Why hello there, I am Andrew. I am a 13 yr old boy living in the Great State of Texas. I made my Sythe account back in 2010 when I was a runescape fanatic. I was very interested in Merchanting and Flipping at the time and decided to sell some gift cards and stuff I had lying around for some GP. While doing so, I realized how great of a community Sythe was. I was a "Trainee" on Smokin Mils at the time and was still not completely devoted to switching forums yet. Eventually I got promoted on Smokin Mils and was very happy about it. After making some jokes about the way Smokin Mils was run, I was demotted. After that, I got a bit heated.. To me a joke didn't deserve a demote. I began to let my mouth run and eventually got myself banned. Still to this day, I have been talking with the folks over there and still have many good friends on the SM forums. Soon after my ban for raging, I came over here to Sythe to relieve my angers. I realized that I had been missing out the whole time.. Sythe was a much friendlier and better run forum. I started trading on and off in the market and was a fairly active member in the other forums. Then one day while making a friend with Pockets (we r buds now) my PayPal got locked due to lack of identity evidence. As I said I am 13, so I didn't have much "identity". I told Pockets this and he, as any person would, thought it was sketchy and started being cautious. I didn't want to let my PayPal problem get in the way of the trade so I lied about making a trade by mail with Punker. This was extremely dumb, and after denial from Punkers, I got a TWC. I was a little dissapointed with myself.. I started staying away from the market section for a while after. A few months later, I requested my TWC removal. After getting approved, I promised myself I would stay clean from then on. All this took place months and months after I tried phishing via email. Here is the contraversial part.. On the 22nd of September 2011 there was a post made on BugAbuse that spoke of a hacking attempt. This thread has my email and my skype on it. I am just going to say that I posted this thread. The person I was trying to hack was suprisingly a good friend from school, he had been being a jerk to me and I thought it would be funny to hack his acc for the lols. I had no intentions of taking anything of his. Now back to my Sythe story. After successfully getting unbanned from Sythe after requesting a lock while it was hacked and paying the victim of the hacker's scam his money back, I was just strolling through the forums. All the sudden after refreshing the page, I saw I was banned. I was in utter confusion. What the fuck? is all I could think. I noticed there was a link provided and clicked it. It had a picture of the BugAbuse post. After glancing at the date, I thought it was a joke. September of 2011, I thought I posted a thread like this, but in 2010 in like March. Immediatly I went to skype to check my chat logs from this date. After finding chat logs that did not seem like my own, I realized something. September 2011 was the month I struggled with a hacker. As any person would, I came to Sythe and posted my dispute stating that it was my hacker. I realized that just saying I was hacked would not be enough, so I added some little lies to it such as "I never made the acc". I was completely blind to the fact that I was repeting my actions that got me my TWC. After the dispute got denied, I got angered. I began to search everywhere for some sort of proof that I was hacked. I came up short. My logic was: If my skype was hacked.. Then my BugAbuse must have been hacked as well. Later I found out that my logic was wrong. T'was me who posted that thread, even though I did not recall posting it. I figured this out MANY days after posting my dispute. "Fuck", I thought to myself, what do I do now, I genuinally thought I was hacked. As any dumbass would do, I kept lying. I was already too deep in the hole to get out, or at least I thought. Eventually, I gave up. I came to the High Pardon section and tried admitting to my actions. I guess I posted the High Pardon Request's with an attitude of "I still know I was right, but Ima say I am wrong to get unbanned". Though this was not my intention, my posts reflected differently. I realize now that all of this was just stupid and childish. I am here to formally request a high pardon for my actions.
Phishing: I feel that I am old enough now to realize how dumb phishing actually is. I also feel that I have learned from my actions. I can guarentee I will not ever go back to phishing. I have not made any attemps in well over a year in a half and have no desire to go back.
BugAbuse Post: I originally was posting what I had thought. I assumed that because my skype was hacked, the hacker had my BA account too. I did inlude some minute lies, but for the most part I had no intention of trying to lie about the post in general. I was posting what I truely believed.
Lying: I often have a bad habit of lying to save myself from getting caught for lying. Just as many say, I dig myself deeper and deeper. I have gotten much better at controlling myself from spitting out a lie. I used to almost do it compulsivley, not any more. Still when I get heated or when I truely believe I am right, I will lie out of anger or passion for my beliefs. I am currently working on trying to prevent myself from lying all together. I have made much progress since a couple years ago, and I think I can see the same results in years to come. I apologize for my actions. All I wanted was to come back to the forums. I concider myself an active user and am very friendly when I am not mad. I am often found in the SFA section or just chilling in Off Topic or Spam.. I have made multiple successful trades, and luckily have never had a bad one. I even have traded multiple times with Pockets and talk to him on a regular bases.
Once Again I am sorry about these actions of mine,
Thanks,
Anet390/Andrew
