cant log into third party sites while tradebanned?
Hello. I have a tradebanned account (shadowban) where it seems like I can´t log into third party sites such as [removed] on.
Whenever I try to log in it just says error.

Does anyone know why this is? It doesnt seem logical to me that u would´nt be able to play faceit /esportal just because the account is tradebanned.

They don't want you because your account can't be used as a mule or any other role in their scams. You should be glad.

well sure yeah but its not even the site itselfs who stops me from loggin in, Its just the pop-up where u sign into steam on the websites.

you're not trade banned

There is no such thing as a 'shadow' trade ban

its either

1) on your profile
2) or its not

steam does not use shadowbans. when you try to use the market, it tells you why you cannot use it. try posting the reason word for word that you see when you try to use the market.

There is literally no such thing. You are

1) trade banned - visible on proviel
2) game/vac banned - visible on profile
3) community banned - visible via xml

his account is under a lockdown, which includes a trade ban and market ban.
as long as the red notification is not dealt with you won't be able to log into third party sites.

<tradeBanState>None</tradeBanState>

If you put ?xml=1 after your account address in a browser, that's what it shows (among other things)

i edited the response, to include the solution.
which most likely won't happen since you haven't been able to resolve this for at least a year, right?
Satoru Nov 16, 2021 @ 3:03pm 
so you basically are so incredibly bad you got a permanent account suspension from steam

but you're wondering why you can't use it services

Like buddy did you even think about that for more than 5 seconds?

That's not a 'shadow ban' you literally are being told "you absolutely totally f-ed up and violated the terms of servicse"

there is no where written that a red notifications prevents users from logging into third party sites using openid. so how would he had known? he wouldn't hence his question to the community to find an answer.

instead of judging his actions one should explain to him why he can't log into third party sites.
he clearly did not come here to get judged by others.

Yes, as a said the account is tradebanned. But it still doesnt make sense that I cant log into third party sites when I can play csgo on the account just as usual. With a good trustfactor aswell.

This isn't even your account? Are you trying to violate as many rules as you can?
