Appeal and coming forward about using SAM [Complete]
Discord: ssnufkin#3045
Steam: https://steamcommunity.com/id/martincscheele/
Games:
Alan Wake - I thought two achievements glitched for me so I unlocked them. "Missed By A Mile" and "No Punctuation". This was my first time using SAM.
Alien Swarm - After using SAM once, I thought I could raise my completion percentage by relocking achievements for games that I had few achievements for. This will make up the majority of entries here, so I will simply list the games I did this for.
Astebreed
Deus Ex Revision
DOOM 2016
Dragon's Dogma Dark Arisen
Enter the Gungeon
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning
Mark of the Ninja
Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain
Ori and the Blind Forest
Rocket League - I relocked achievements for this and then legitimately achieved the ones I currently have. I will relock these if requested.
Shadowrun Dragonfall Director's Cut
Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic 2
Strafe Gold Edition - I relocked achievements for this and then legitimately achieved the ones I currently have. I will relock these if requested.
Sunless Sea
Team Fortress 2 - I relocked achievements for this and then legitimately achieved the ones I currently have. I will relock these if requested.
The Witcher 3
Warhammer 40k Dawn of War 2
Wolfenstein The Old Blood
XCOM Enemy Unknown
Thanks to whoever goes through this and clears things up for me. I feel immensely guilty even though I wasn't aware of the community here and once I found out I felt the need to appeal.
I also would like help figuring out removing my account from Astats and SteamHunters. I already made a forum post for Astats but am unsure how to procede with SteamHunters.
Thank you

I forgot one.
Fallout New Vegas - I unlocked "Artful Pocketer" after initially relocking all my games so that Steam would update.

Re: Appeal and coming forward about using SAM
I relocked all relevant achievements, deleted save games and turned off Cloud saves. If I should do the same for Alan Wake, Fallout: New Vegas, Rocket League, STRAFE, and Team Fortress 2 please let me know. Going through with this has already lessened my anxiety around it and I'm glad I was able to find you all. I really appreciate that you all spend your free time moderating this community and allowing people like me an avenue for appeal. Cheers..

I also unlocked the "Impossible" achievement in The Stanley Parable using the console bind exploit. I will relock it tomorrow when I'm back at my PC.

Re: Appeal and coming forward about using SAM
I think my progress in Rocket League carried over from before initially relocking achievements so a bunch of achievements unlocked faster when I went to legitimately unlock them. I'm not sure if resetting in SAR works but I will do it if necessary.

Re: Appeal and coming forward about using SAM
Alright your profile is clean. and appeal is complete.
For Astats you'll need to appeal on their own website as they do not follow the UAHR or accept UAHR appeals and inquire with them about profile removal.
For SteamHunters your appeal is noted on your profile, and if you would like to remove your profile you will need to speak with Rudey on the Steam Hunters Discord https://discord.gg/hzkyCTBKgT
