Reply-ing on ban message from certain game forum moderator

[[Taurus]Ateros]

Actually i want to ask

If i reply on the message will i get response to it or not ?

and what actually happened

Some player needed help with his/her game and somewhere i saw if u download "free" copy of that certain game and paste files into your own it can fix the game but
i didnt saw the Steam rule "do not discuss piracy" thus i slapped my comment on the thread and boom i got perma banned for it
so can the certain game forum moderator lift the ban ? or not possible ?

Replying in the ban message will alert the mod who banned you and I also believe other mods or staff who have the same hub permissions can see such messages. They aren't obliged to respond though and your next step would be Steam Support.

Valve has a zero tolerance policy regarding piracy and developers most likely too. They don't like their games being stolen.
So, do not expect to get unbanned.
You should have known that doing this was wrong, even without reading the rules.
Common sense already dictates that.

It's unlikely Support will overrule the mods decision especially when it has violated the basic guidelines. It's possible but your best hope would be a response from a moderator. At a stretch you could contact the devs direct but that probably wont materialise into much as the mods are appointed for a reason.

I'd just await a response to message you've left in the text box of the ban notification.

VAC bans are for cheating and only affect the game you're banned from. I think you're talking about an account suspension or even termination.
