How do I hide my backpack?

[MiniDinkster]

Hi backpack.tf forums!

 

I've been getting many friend requests lately from this website or other TF2 related websites and they're all asking for items I don't want to trade. I tried putting my actual steam backpack private before but people still add me regardless, and is starting to annoy me greatly. 

 

Any ideas on what I should do, or if there was a way to manually hide my backpack on backpack.tf?

Here's what you need to do:

Step 1: Trade the items to a different account that you own.

Step 2: Make your current backpack public

Step 3: Load your current backpack without the items (no fallback / errors)

Step 4: Trade back the items from your other account to your current account

Step 5: Make your backpack private on your current account
