I was banned, is it removed now?
Few weeks ago I got banned on VAC.
http://steamcommunity.com/discussions/forum/9/43099722129095359/
Now, when I check link: http://steamrep.com/profiles/76561198021791407
it says I'm not banned now. I still can't play in CS:GO and can't trade items. Is it something wrong with steam info site or I have another kind of ban that disallow me to play? In account I have an info http://i.imgur.com/OsUjQr0.png which means "VAC status in good condition" and it never showed bad condition. When I was typing with Steam support that what I got: http://i.imgur.com/htkgKrj.png

Maybe you have an untrusted or Overwatch ban?

But I never scammed on trading and never cheated, so overwatch ban is also unlikely.
In game I only have this: http://i.imgur.com/k3ubyjP.png

Did you read the pin thread on CS:GO forums?

( II ) Overwatch bans:
1.Minorly disruptive (griefing) - around 30 days.
2. Majorly disruptive (cheating -aim/wall/other external hacks) - Permanent.
Its over for you on that account, dude..

So ... someone watched my demo and decided to ban me. Good job overwatching guy. Really good job. I already have a new accout, but this makes me very angry. Someone turns on overwatch, goes to make some pizza, and finally gives ban to random guy.
Thank you Blaquicat for help

It IS possible that you got a minorly disruptive (30 days), but it's likely that it was a majorly disruptive (permanent). And it takes more than one person to ban via overwatch (someone who does what you said wouldn't be getting very many overwatch cases because their score will be going down...)

Anyone can overwatch.
More the player rank is more "weight" is their vote..
New overwatchers vote weight 0, but their votes count for statistics purpose (if you are always right, you can raise your vote weight base on your rank)
Another thing is, you cant have any infraction ban, if you got one, you cant overwatch.

Valve has fixed a bug in their API that showed some people who weren't VAC banned as VAC banned.

no not everyone can be in the overwatch, im an overwatcher myself .. and read that u can be on test as an overwatcher, but its not something u can sign up for.. u will get picked out to be one.
further more, if u were banned from overwatch.. then its likely u DID have some fishy playstyle that made u stand out as a cheater.. personally all the demo's ive overwatched and judged ive seen to the full lenght and in few cases ive seen them twice to decide my call.
Ive talked with other overwatchers and they say that theyre judging is based from a complete view of the demo's, not just some random picks on the cheating score board.
Personally i hate cheaters, but if im not 100 % sure that this is a cheater im looking at.. then i vote " not enough evidence " its simple as that.
However in your case, im sure its not overwatch ban.. if your beeing truly honest that your not a cheater.
I hope your problem works out though :-)
