xDeamon Appeal (Complete)

Post by xDeamon » Fri Mar 05, 2021 11:54 am

Hey mods, I'm kinda new to achievement hunting and all so I had some stuff cheated in the past using SAM in 2014 - thanks for helping me appeal!

Discord: xDeamon#6414
Steam: https://steamcommunity.com/id/xDeamon/
Games:

- America's Army 3 - when: 30 Mar '14 @ 07:42am, how: using SAM, why: was young and stupid, would not play it anymore

- Warface - when: 14 Aug '14 @ 10:52am, how:using SAM, why: was young and stupid, would not play it anymore

- Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Phantoms - EU - when: 15 Aug '14 @ 11:27am, how: using SAM, why: was young and stupid, would not play it anymore

- Team Fortress 2 - when: 30 Mar '14 @ 01:27pm (other ones are legit), how: using SAM, why: was young and stupid, would like to use SAR and re-start again

- Gear Up - when: 14 Aug '14 @ 10:54am, how: using SAM, why: was young and stupid, would not play it anymore

I resetted with SAR Gear Up and Battle Island because they weren't "invalidated" on Steamhunters (probably because they weren't 100%). Anyway I noticed that it removes all the achievements even if you select only a few, if I want to keep some of them what should I do? Some of TF2 achievemens are legit, should I use SAM to lock the one with the timestamp "30 Mar '14 @ 01:27pm"? I'll wait for better instructions.

I resetted and removed all the F2P games i listed before. For TF2 i removed all the achievements from 30 Mar '14 @ 01:27pm and left the legit one (with different timestamp)

I think I did all I had to do? am I ready for a review?

Appeal

Post by xDeamon » Sat Mar 06, 2021 7:12 pm

Hey mods, I've already opened an appeal, but it wasn't done properly, so I'm opening one more.
In 2014 I used SAM to unlock most of the F2P games that I could play and now I'm regretting it.
I've already relocked all the achievements using SAR (except for the legit one I got in TF2)
Can you guys tell me if I did all I had to do?

Have you restarted TF2 to check if the achievements auto unlock on start up? From the way you described its likely the stats are still there and will auto unlock, if they do

You can reset your Team Fortress 2 statistics by opening your Character Loadout, then navigate to the stats tab and click the reset stats button.

Then reset the achievements from the "view achievements" menu

both are required to prevent auto unlocks after restart

Sorry for the double posting, my mistake.

Anyway I just started TF2 and played a match, to test if anything would reunlock and I just got the 1000 kill achievement "hardcore" which is legit and nothing else (you can verify my stats in this page https://steamcommunity.com/id/xDeamon/s ... ?tab=stats)

Do i have to provide anything else? Thank you for helping me btw!

I've played more and unlocked more achievemens (the easy ones) and never had the problem that you said before, no achievement unlocked at the start up, can I please be re-reviewed on that?

I got rid of every single illegit achievement from 7 years ago and it has been almost a week without an answer. I just want to end this since now I'm clean

Ah no wonder i havent noticed your appeal, you keep pushing it back to the top with new posts. I work from the bottom up haha, apologies for the delay. However, I would like to note that this is an entirely volunteer position, most of us have other jobs or are in college, and of course the general gaming addiction.

Tf2, America's Army, Warface, Tom Clancy, Gear up, and Battle island all look good now. Can you please do the same with these games as you did with TF2 and reopen them to make sure nothing automatically unlocks on startup?

I removed those games, not going to play them anymore. I didn't even played them back then (they were all F2P games and appeared on the SAM) if you look my steam stats you'll see less than an hour for each of them.

Apologies for adding new posts, I'll wait for a moderator now that I know and thank you!
