Report/post/reason that got you banned:

Scammed by Eren (Runescape 2007 Questing Service) and I was also given a 7 day ban for a Trade with Caution evasion on the account "Auriel". I had initially received a Trade with Caution in good conscious by Wortel for being a staff member on Alora.

Proof of contacting victims for repayment or repayment of victims:

(Both users have stated that they have contacted Gen and Chloe in regards to their reimbursement from me.)

Anything you weren't banned for but want to confess to now:

Yes, as I told Gen, I wanted to come clean about being a staff member on a private server. I was a Global Moderator on the private server known as "Alora". I had fully resigned, but I was a staff member during my short time on Sythe. I wanted to resign in regard to taking Sythe much more seriously and being devoted to this community in opening up my business. I also tried ban evading on the account "Ring" to start a completely fresh path and get away from "Eren" for reasons I'll disclose in the section below. I've come to realize my best bet in getting back into the Sythe community is just confronting these issues and doing what is right regardless of the outcome by the staff team of Sythe. After my pardon was declined, I used my personal skype account to try to see if people needed services on Sythe via just browsing. I never made a Sythe account and I contacted a user and he referred King to me. I was re-banned after being DNT'd for "DNT-evasion". I knew I was being sneaky and this was unacceptable but I just wanted some quick money. I had zero intention of scamming that user I told him we can use a middleman, I would do it in increments, I would place a security deposit, and I refused to make a Sythe account to avoid breaking rules (even though this ultimately was breaking rules). If necessary I can share the full chat logs with that user with any staff members that need clarification. Besides these, I've stayed clean and respected the boundaries that were placed on me.

Detailed description of the events that took place:

So I'd like to provide some background context so all of this makes sense. I became a staff member on Alora in June previously to joining Sythe. I worked up the ranks and after a month or so I became a Global Moderator on the server. I had heard from a few friends that Sythe had a lot of potential and showed me their profiles, what they were doing, how they got there, and what I should do if I wanted to join. I made a good group of friends in the administrative and higher management team on Alora and we became a group of 5 people, I, being the leading role of the Sythe business that we were investing into. I realized this was a very bad move because if any bad blood boiled between any of us my partners could very easily report my Sythe account and get it banned at free will because I held a staff position on the private server Alora, which isn't allowed on Sythe as I've been told. As a Global Moderator, I was managing the Server Moderators and Server Supports of the staff team, real world trading cases, hacking cases, etc. Now I wanted to get out of the Sythe business and just go solo because my partners weren't as dedicated to the cause as I was and weren't putting in nearly as much work and money as I was. We wanted to create a website, create marketing, and create a community within our business. I became more and more paranoid about my partners potentially scamming or exposing the fact that I was a staff member on Alora as they had the means to easily do so. I contacted one of my partners who I was close with and told him to take the Sythe account and complete the orders existing orders and I keep the 300m 07 that the customers had paid (Cyous) as my contribution to the account. Now realize I personally invested 800$ roughly into the Sythe account ranging from donations, thread layouts, the username image, the signature, and I was looking to invest another $1000 into a fully functioning website. I had become more and more paranoid and I just wanted to get out of this group and make my own account completely disconnected from my partners. My partner who I discussed the 300m 07 with decided to change the password to the mule we stored our wealth on and decided to scam me. He instantly started making excuses such as "I'm not at my hotel, when I changed the password it was out of insurance in-case you weren't going to uphold your part of the deal, I changed the password to random characters, etc." Honestly, I thought he was joking and I just let time pass and kept messaging him, eventually he stopped responding and went offline. I got pretty nervous and it was apparent at this point he was going to scam me so I contacted the Head Administrator of Alora to speak to him and he was giving me insight on what to do with the scenario. Out of sheer curiosity, I decided to try typing the password again and it wasn't correct, I knew this user very well so I took a random guess and luckily I managed to guess the password, and there was the 300m 07. I know this sounds ridiculous but the password of the account was ganggang1, and the user was very well known for saying "Skrt skrt" constantly so the password I tried was "skrtskrt1" and it worked. Then I spoke with the head staff members and got this user demoted from the staff team of Alora. At this point I had two options, I could refund the 300m 07 and continue on Sythe with the paranoia that my partner could easily get my account banned for being a staff member on Alora or I could just make a new Sythe account and start completely fresh and continue with my business venture. I tried making a new account called "Ring", it was instantly banned. I realized this was pointless and I decided to refund the users and come clean to the staff team of Sythe with everything that happened, from me evading Trade with Caution for potentially being a staff member on Alora, from me actually being a staff member on Alora, to me being banned for "scam-quitting", and to me making a new account "Ring". I hope I've explained this thoroughly, and if anyone has any questions on this, please contact me on Skype at [email protected] as I do not know if I'll be able to reply to this.


Why you think we should forgive you?:

I've caused an unnecessary mess and I take responsibility for my actions. I fully understand what I did was disrespectful, undeniably idiotic, and crushing to those innocent users involved. Although I've come to realize how wrong I was, I'm still embarrassed with the way I handled this situation and I'm just hoping for a second chance. I've donated so much to Sythe and I was truly wanting to help this community and continue contributing to build it up. I promise to make up for this and I'm willing to fully cooperate with any requests by the staff team of Sythe. I'm so sorry for this and I'm just hoping to receive a second chance and redeem myself, so one day you can look back on this and be glad that I've managed to come far from where I am now. You're a great community and I really want to continue being apart of the Sythe community from the marketing perspective to the social environment this forums has created and evolved into.

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

Yes, I have fully and thoroughly read the stick thread in the pardon section.

Closing

Apart from what has happened in the recent days and my pardon, I'd like to end this with a deep apology to Cyous and Tibor (the two users I've refunded who were caught in this dilemma). I've expressed my deepest apologies to both of you and I hope you can forgive me for this. I'd also like to give a thank you to King and Wortel for allowing me to pardon even though I DNT evaded.

Thank you and best wishes,

Eren
