Phox Appeal (Complete)

[Phox]

Hello all, I am making this appeal today to be unbanned from Steam Hunters' and MetaGamerScore's leaderboards. I have cheated in the past by using downloaded safe files, console commands and changing my PC's clock. This was a long time ago, so I might forget a game or two, so I will list everything I can remember. Please forgive me if I overlook anything.

Discord: Phox#8008
Steam: https://steamcommunity.com/id/MahoPhox/

Games that I've recalled cheating:

Team Fortress 2 - Years ago, I found a sketchy server where I typed in a console command (getall or something), and many achievements unlocked afterwards (July 1, 2014)
Binding of Isaac - I downloaded a 100% complete save file and after I opened the game, all the achievments unlocked
VVVVVV - I edited a save file, unlocked a bunch of the game's achievements
The Stanley Parable - I unlocked the "Go Outside" achievement by changing my PC's clock

Those are all the games I can remember cheating in. If there are any more irregularities detected by the mods, I will gladly relock all achievements needed to get back in good standing.
I appreciate you all for looking this over, and thank you very much for your time.

Hey Phox, thanks for creating an appeal about this. Regarding tf2 and stanley parable, neither of these are grounds for a profile ban. The games would just be invalidated and not count for points on your trackers. If you would like to not have these invalidated, you can go ahead and relock anything cheated in those two. The same goes for the Binding of Isaac.

Looking at VVVVV, we would need you to relock any cheated achievements. I see you also have a fair amount of achievements unlocked at the same time in hollow knight. Do you remember what that might be from?

[Phox]

Thank you for replying, Fabio. I will gladly relock the achievements necessary to revalidate the games that are invalidated.

As for Hollow Knight, I am very sorry that it slipped my mind. What happened is I first bought that game on GOG and played it on that platform. When I bought it on Steam and played it on there, the save file carried over from GOG and upon loading it, it unlocked all the achievements on Steam. I will relock those achievements as well if needed.

Thank you very much for looking into this.

In that case, go ahead and relock anything from the achievement server, as well as the stanley parable go outside achievement. Once you have done that, both of these games can be validated. The same goes for VVVVV and the binding of Isaac,please.

Hollow knight is completely fine then! Save file use, as long as it is your own, is totally acceptable. I've done that with several games.

[Phox]

Alright, achievements have been relocked in Team Fortress 2, Binding of Isaac, VVVVVV, and The Stanley Parable. I have left Hollow Knight alone as per your acceptance. Everything should be in order. Thank you very much for your time, Fabio!

Alrighty, looks good! Let me know if any other issues pop up for you in the future and we'll be glad to help. I'll go ahead and get your profile back in good standing! I think MGS is down right now, so give me some time to get you unbanned there.
