Protest Against Valve Anti-Cheat (VAC)

[RoWhAM666]

VAC banned me for 7 days and my friends for 24 hours simply because we had a cheater on our team!

Here's the story: Over the past few days, VAC has been banning players who haven't used any cheats or third-party cheating software whatsoever. Meanwhile, we, the CS2 community, have been desperately waiting for a proper anti-cheat system, yet instead, we're witnessing updates like these:

- Pet photobook pages now have localized text art (October 6)
- Rush is a fast-paced queued 3v3 game mode (September 23)
- And so on...

As players, we have a responsibility to speak up and protest against this situation. I'm asking you to stand with me and the rest of the community in raising our voices and demanding a better anti-cheat system.

**It's time for Valve to prioritize a reliable anti-cheat system instead of focusing on features that don't address the community's biggest concerns.**

I urge you to stop spreading false awareness of a none existing issues or problems !

If I get banned for my performance in the game, then I believe you that vacnet ban innocent players, but untill that happens, then Vac-net is just doing what it surpose to do = Ban cheaters & Cheat developers in the game !

Now we just miss that Valve close the account system, so people cannot create a new account or buy one so easy !!!

Then only allow family members to get access to your account, if you are DEAD !
just like the banking world, that is what is missing to prevent cheaters in our games.

Conclusion is simple: do not play with a cheater.

Boosting with a cheater in party is punishable now. Finally.

Spreading false information? Nah, people have more interesting things to do.

Your argument would only be valid if a large number of players who can easily be shown to be innocent with a simple search were not being banned for absolutely no reason.
Furthermore, the ban message explicitly states:
"You Partied with a player whose gameplay has been flagged by VAC as irregular"
Does this mean that the banned player is a cheater?!
I'd ask you to be a little more logical and reasonable.

I'm not responsible for figuring out whether my teammate is cheating or not, and I shouldn't be punished for it!

Bro really said "a simple search proves they're innocent" like he's conducting FBI background checks on Silver Elite players

My brother in Christ, you are arguing about Counter-Strike matchmaking, not presenting evidence at the International Court of Justice.
Put the thesaurus down and queue Mirage

"Your argument would only be valid if..." BROTHER THIS IS A STEAM DISCUSSION, NOT YOUR FU***** PHD THESIS

You spent three paragraphs explaining that being banned for partying with a flagged cheating player doesn't automatically make someone a cheater. NO SHI*, EINSTEIN. That's literally the point.

Bro discovered that a punishment message isn't a criminal conviction and immediately appointed himself Professor of Counter-Strike Law

HELLO EVERYONE, I’ve encountered an incredibly frustrating issue that completely prevents me from playing online matches.
The core of the problem: I get kicked from Premier and other online matches ("Player was kicked from the server") right after what appears to be a suspicious damage registration on a teammate (presumably).
Steam Support closed my ticket, claiming it's a network issue on my end. However, another account playing on this exact same laptop and the exact same network works perfectly fine without any disconnects. In the demo, you can clearly see that I get kicked every single round without any explanation.
IF ANYONE KNOWS WHAT IS GOING ON OR HAS FACED A SIMILAR PROBLEM, PLEASE HELP ME!

There is no issue to report other than your stupidity

You use this situation in your interests. Logically you get advantage in every game with him.

Agree, it is better to find a legit player that can assist him, though Smurfing is not allowed neither, so that is a tuff one !
But he could be lucky to get a player like me on his team, while I try rank up, but it is kinda hard to rank up with all them damn cheaters in the game

You just get banned for playing SSG even you don't need to cheat or smurf
