Friend banned for no reason, VAC banned?

[Lance]

Hi,
my friend just caught a ban for no reason. The most reason I can think of is that she lost connection a lot of times, however no restriction was ever given and instead she was immediately given a ban, which appears to be a VAC ban.
She has never cheated once and has been playing d2 for years. I know it's hard to believe that she was banned falsely, but I personally also think this is the case and am vouching for her too, and it's not me- feel free to look at my profile. No ban.
Is there a way to appeal this or at least know the reason for the ban? This is very odd. I didn't even know D2 used VAC. VAC is garbage a lot of the time. And destiny 2 bans are supposed to be manual but, isn't VAC automatic?
Thanks.

*Please assume that there is a possibility of this being a false ban. I know that a lot of you like to immediately yell "cheats bad". Please provide helpful info on how to possibly appeal this or get support on this, then you can hate. Thanks!*

It just so happens that she also received a VAC ban on her profile at the same time though?

A friend? Why can't your "friend" create the topic instead of you? Or are you scared that the same might happen to you?

Essentially the ban made them very, very upset, and I'm much quicker at using computers so it'd be easier for me to do it, but it really is none of your business. I'd appreciate help instead of a bunch of questions like these.

You made it my business as soon as you posted the topic on a public forum so get off your high horse and speak with the commoners.

I'm not going to help someone who clearly has no idea how the ban system works, destiny doesn't use VAC, go tell your "friend" to stop being a cheating prick who ruins online games for others.

You are correct in that it is now your business that I posted it. But what is your business is that she got banned. What isn't are the off-topic, unrelated things as in why I am posting for her.
Are you 100% sure that VAC isn't used? She got a VAC ban at the same time and D2 was recently moved to Steam. She doesn't even play, let alone use anything fishy, in VAC-enabled games. There is absolutely no reason for the VAC ban to have appeared.

EDIT: You are wrong. The ban on the profile is destiny-2 related: https://i.imgur.com/GT5hX1h.png

The reason you're posting it is quite frankly suspicious, if you look on the VAC forums which is where this topic should be, you'll see the "friend" topic used regularly.

A destiny game ban shows up as an ordinary game ban on the profile, NOT a VAC ban, 100% certain! Your friend must have played a game with VAC with cheating software running and the ban just conveniently hits at the same time as a ban from destiny.

It's quite hard to argue the innocence of someone who just got banned from two games in one day, perhaps youd better check your friends PC to see if any malicious software is running if you trust them.

My bad, it was indeed a game ban on the profile and not VAC. I still would like more info on the ban and will continue to pressure the devs to give one. It is bullsh*t that not even a reason is provided on a game she spent hundreds on.
I understand the whole "friend" thing is sus but you could also be helpful and assume I'm not bluffing. I'll get her to post on her main if it's so bad then I guess.

Well at least we know it's just a normal game ban, unfortunately game bans are manually reviewed in destiny and there is no way to dispute them, one thing is certain though, you dont get bans from being disconnected, unless you're using a lag switch.

No idea at all then.

If your friend is local, I'd recommend checking their PC for any malicious software so this doesnt happen again, that's all I can say.
Sorry for being passive aggressive earlier, I take these posts with a grain of salt but since you were so mature about it, I feel terrible.

It's alright. The main issue is people who immediately like to assume someone cheated. I completely get the sentiment and I've partaken in it too, but it really sucks cause nobody provides any help due to the assumption. You actually have so I appreciate that and forgive you.

1. They do not tell you why you get a ban for very good reason. If you would like to know why they don't tell you I suggest you use google to find out.

2. Making a post in a user discussion forum that Bungie probable don't even read is not putting pressure on the devs of Destiny.

3. Making a post in a public discussion forum for users will not help you or do anything. We cant help you as we are just users. Forum moderators cannot help you. This thread will do nothing but get you trolled.

4. It clearly says "Steam support is unable to remove your in game ban" What is it that you do not understand about that statement.

5. Nobody believes its your friend that got the ban so stop pretending.

6. Bungie issued the ban you need to contact them not post in a Steam forum.

7. Stop cheating and ruining other peoples games.

For the first part I'm aware valve cant do anything. I'm merely asking for help on how to possibly combat this ban or at least get info.
And another cheater assumption. Why? Is it so hard to provide what I *can* possibly do to contact devs?
