Untrusted for AHK?! WUT?!

[Crocaine]

Hey guys,

Since when can you get banned for autohotkey?!?!
I thought ahk was that one program we could use safely -.-
I searched a bit before using it and I saw it was safe etc etc .

Why isn't it being made clear by valve or something?!
Could this "untrusted" be lifted since it was just AHK?

EDIT: Apparently you can get banned for AHK macros, so my advice is: DON'T use ahk macros, convert them to the in game console/autoexec.cfg's. I'm not sure if hardware (mouse/keyboard) related macro software causes bans as well .....

LOL

[I ❤️ HOT MOMS]

Using this sort of ♥♥♥♥ gives you an unfair advantage over others. I think it's going to turn into a VAC ban soon.

[Crocaine]

Advantage over others? WUT?!
I never knew my macros did that :s

Well that's good to know I can expect a VAC ban w/o warning for something that was always meant to be safe to use .....

Did some more research and saw:

Cheating using a script, cheat application, or any other software designed to give you an unfair advantage

Since it was none of the above +

If an automated ban is determined to have been issued incorrectly, it will automatically be rolled back by our servers.

How long would this take? And it says its automated but would there be someone to contact that could investigate my issue as well and lift the untrusted cooldown?

You do realize that it's a 3rd-party script/hack/program that gives you some distinct advantage over other players without it, right? That's AKA: a cheat. VAC doesn't like your kind, scumbag. Have fun with your VAC ban!

"Cheating is using a script, cheat application, or any other software designed to give you an unfair advantage."

"Since it was none of the above"

...You DO realize it's a 3rd-party program NOT APPROVED BY VALVE designed to give you some kind of advantage that other players don't have, right?

By the way, if you're gonna try and justify your cheating with the "what the program does" argument or the "But *Insert random-ass name here* was using it, and he's Global Elite and not banned! Q.Q", I don't wanna hear it. You cheated, simple as that. Quit cheating and you won't get banned anymore.

Wow, so someone using mouse/keyboard hardware macros is in your eyes a "scumbag" as well? If it was clearly stated somewhere: "AHK is not allowed" then I wouldn't have used it obviously? This thread isn't just to clear things up for me but also for anyone else that thought AHK was always save to use in w/e game/program.

Whoa, let's not get hasty. That's WAY too extreme. Just banning them repeatedly will fix it. Telling someone to commit suicide? NOT COOL. NOT COOL AT ALL. That is just MESSED UP. Suicide is a TERRIBLE thing.

So as long as theres nowhere stated "multihack_repack_demigods_v2_1254.exe is not allowed" im allowed to use it?

Meh, welcome to competitive games...Some people are so desperate for their e-peen to get enlarged by getting tons of "Freelo" in theses games so they can get over the fact they aren't doing anything with their lives.

I see the comment you replied to got deleted. I think he was so embarassed by his stupidity that he deleted it...Lol

[Crocaine]

Well, I'm sorry if this thread caused a lot of controversy :*(
To be clear, I'm against using any type of hack/cheat in any game.
I just thought using macro software was allowed.

Like I said, it also helpful for a lot of people out there that thought the same as me and hopefully will make them aware not to use macros made by AHK (or hardware?).

I guess making macros in the game console itself is allowed though ....

Stop trying dude. The steam community is full of kids and stupid russians, you can't have any resonable arguments here, they will ♥♥♥♥ all over them. Also it depends what were you using ahk for, but generally I don't see how macros = cheating. You can create them via the in-game console too so how is that cheating if the game allows you to do it?
