What does permanently untrusted mean?

[akiuara]

I just recieved this message today in this account of mine, how to unlock my account? I didn't do something wrong but yet I recieved such cooldown.

[kleiner blauer Elefant]

it means you're permanently banned from CS2

Oh, if that's exactly an untrusted ban, then I have bad news for you.
It means it gonna turn into VAC ban soon and it is 100% won't be removed.

I guess the last time I have seen an untrusted ban was like 5 years ago, I thought those are not a thing anymore...

Oops, it seems Valve has noticed that you're using an ROG gaming chair.

Untrusted has allways been correct.

They removed it from the FAQ, but this was written about it:

'Account untrusted bans - These bans are permanent, 100% correct and won't be lifted. They will change into VAC ban over time.'

lol
Rapid fire gets patched (for the 4th time hopefully it does not return again) and suddenly people flooding forums about they have been unfairly banned.

Permanently Untrusted bans are 100% correct and will turn into a VAC ban over time.

2 year old account, yet level 100+. this seems like an account that has been boosted by methods that are not allowed by steam, such as bots to raise steam level.
or purchased account that has been boosted by some chinese service.
i looked it up in wayback machine and that account has been forced to private before, which means it has already been involved in something serious.

difference between "private accounts" and "forced to private" accounts, is that if someone sets their account private by choice, then other players will see "this account is private", but if it's forced to private by steam, then that text does not appear. others will only see the avatar and no further info.
in wayback machine you can see that exact thing, just avatar without any text, which means that account has previously been forced to private and this only happens when account is involved in some illegal activities, such as scamming, spamming, running bots ..etc.

i'm a youtuber and my account is 15+ years old, yet i'm only level 22. i've gotten lot of games for reviews and other things that level up steam, yet i'm nowhere near 100. it's probably possible to get level 100+ in less than 3 years by using legit methods, but very highly unlikely.

the fact that this user got untrusted ban, should speak for itself. i'm not exactly community's role model, i've had couple bans here and there for speaking the truth, but to get permanent ban you need to be majorly disruptive.

Don't make up crapstories about levels not being legit.

You can buy a lot of cards on the market and level up to 100 in 1 day. Completely legit.

That is NOT how it works, lol.

Regardless of the age of your Steam account, you can spend money to buy card sets and craft them, and you could even reach level 1,000 in a single day.

There is NO connection between the age of your account and its level.
