Steam - Not Ranked

Hello, only made my account recently but noticed I'm not ranked on the steam leaderboards and figured I'd may as well appeal.

The games that I believe may have triggered the flag are:

Grand Theft Auto V Legacy: Many of the achievements I have were earned on the same time and date as I had earned them on my Epic Games copy, they automatically popped when I first booted the game on steam. I've taken screencaps of the achievements on my Rockstar Social Club account as evidence these were earned legitimately.
Team Fortress 2: I joined a trade server in 2017 that gave me a bunch of achievements, I'm fine with resetting/invalidating them if needed.
The Stanley Parable: I cheated the 'Go Outside' achievement in 2017 by changing the system clock, all other achievements were obtained legitimately. I'll be eligible for obtaining the achievement next month as I haven't played since March 2021, so I'm not sure what the procedure would be.
The Dark Room: All achievements were obtained legitimately aside from 'Kafka', which is glitched and unobtainable. I used a fan-made patch to obtain it, which I now realise is against the rules. I'm fine with resetting/invalidating them if needed.

Thanks.
 
Just remembered I actually used SAM for the Dark Room's achievement, it was a good few years ago so I didn't remember it correctly. Again, I'm willing to reset them if needed, I'm just not sure of the procedure. Won't touch them until otherwise instructed by an admin as per guidelines.
 
Sorry for the delay - for The Stanley Parable, if you want to relock it and earn again normally that would be fine otherwise I can invalidate it.

Dark Room - could you relock the achievement you used SAM on?

It's up to you how to relock them but we prefer using the Steam console to do it as no third party tools are needed: https://achievementhunting.com/guides/relock

The "Reset specific achievements" section is what you'd want to follow in this case. The API names for each achievement can be found on SteamDB.

Let me know when done and I'll rescan your profile on the site.
 
Hi, have tried to follow the instructions as shown. I've inputted the 'achievement_clear 221910 TSP_GOOUTSIDE' and 'achievement_clear 918530 ach_l1_12_kafka' commands, but both fail. I can't find any other documentation on this, with all instructions I've found just saying to restart steam until it works, which has the same result.

Sorry I don't really know why it would be failing. Do you get any specific error message from it?

Unfortunately, the only info it gives me is 'achievement_clear failed:", followed by the achievement's API name. I've double checked both the game and achievement's ID.
