Randomly got VAC ban for no reason
Seeing some other posts about it too, I logged in 5 days ago and saw a notification that i got permanent VAC banned, i have NEVER cheated, there was one time i played with a cheater and was joking with him about it, then we kicked him out, can this be the reason for the ban? but i don't think a perma ban is deserved for having a random cheater on my team???

Sent steam support a message but i don't think they will help me,I have been waiting for the last 5 days for their response.
IDGAF about the cs2 account (didnt spend any money) but I don't like the RED "1 VAN ban on record' on my profile as this is my main account for the other games i have played.

You're game banned, not VAC banned.

VAC bans are issued for hand-written detections of cheating software on your computer.

Game bans in CS2 are issued for abusive gameplay in general.

You are not banned for playing with a cheater.
Bans issued by game developers need to be appealed via that developer's support team.

But i didnt do anything that is mentioned in that...
What could possibly be the reason? and is this a permanent ban?
i only have this account and ♥♥♥♥♥♥ steam doesnt allow adding friends in new accounts so how am i supposed to play with my friends?

Don't spread misinformation please. Game bans in CS2 can never be appealed -

ok, well first off, i sense a liar, gamebans arent just handed out willy-nilly.
secondly, this is your *main* account?? oh no! you might lose an account with... 8 games on it...? dude you're literally losing nothing by just getting a new account, unless this account was your only clean one left. you've barely spent any money on your account.

if i somehow got a vac (which im not a filthy cheater so, yknow, it *cant* happen) i would be pissed, cuz i've sunk like, over $10k in games and inventory, mostly games. you've spent like, what, $20? is Titanfall2 free or what, idk i bought it when it came out.

main point, i think youre full of bs

Repeat it to yourself every night before you go to sleep, you may actually convince yourself when you wake up if you do it enough times.

i just personally find it funny when cheaters come to discussion groups and whine.

just an fyi, vac bans aren't instant. if you just play a few pub games a day, it takes up to a week for vac to find you and get you. but it will, and it did. if youre in comp and cheating your ass off, they can def ban ingame tho, i seen it happen in CSGO days.

anyhow toodles, enjoy the red vac on your profile, cheater! theres literally nothing you can do about it!!

also i havent even played much compe games, i generally just play casual with some friends. I have played like 4-5 compe matches in CS2.
Again, what can i do to prove i have not cheated.

i dont understand why are you just assuming it and being toxic.
