Hello, we have some unfortunate news to share with all of you.

In recent weeks Valve has been experimenting with new measures to stop scams on steam, unfortunately this has resulted in many TF2 trading bots being falsely banned.

While in our case, we have been able to get all of them unbanned, it has become clear that this system isn't going away and that we will need to adapt to the circumstances.
We are now certain the cause of these bans is chat commands, and thus it is no longer safe for users operating tf2 trading bots, whether it be ours or otherwise, to offer chat commands.
It is very likely that steam support will eventually stop honoring ban appeals of this kind, so we would rather prefer to stay ahead of the curve before any of our users suffer a substantial financial loss.
For these reasons chat commands are fully disabled across all our bots.

We understand the removal of chat commands is a major inconvenience, that is why in the coming days we'll be introducing a shortlink system which will enable a fast checkout.
It will offer an experience similar to using chat commands (including picking the amount of items), by pasting a link from the listing description into your browser.

We would also like to remind you that we offer an instant trade userscript (https://github.com/gladiatortf/gladiator.tf-instant-trade) that you may use, until this feature is ready

Kind regards,
The Gladiator.TF Team
