Hide VAC bans

[Kurumi]

I feel like people who have been VAC banned or game Banned should have the option to hide that from others as some people who start up clans or people you meet in games look at your profile to see if you have been banned ye they might of cheated before but that doesn't mean they don't change some people have a change of heart after they do it once or some people do get hacked into and banned but it would be nice for them to hide it as if you do get banned people don't even treat you as human anymore c'mon every in there entire live has cheated once remember when you were like 8 and you used hacks for fun

I never got a VAC ban but I second this , I have a very nice and cool trader friend on steam who got a VAC for testing a cheat on CSGO , while he is a very honest and reliable trader he told me that VAC in his profile had a very negative impact on his trading which is not fair in my opinion maybe he used to be a cheater but he is not a scammer in trading but that's what people think . I think penalties which come with VAC ban are enough to punish a cheater more than that is not necessary .

"For testing a cheat"

So, for CHEATING, they got a VAC ban WHAT A SURPRISE?

Your 'very nice friend' was a CHEATER and deserved to have their inventory bound to their account.

Because that's what the punishment is for CHEATING

I find your lack of periods more disturbing than any VAC ban. Have you chosen to "hide" those too?

So what you're telling me is as a deterrent it isn't effective enough and should be harsher since even the consequences didn't stop him from "testing" a cheat.

THis is why I play Single player games for the most part.
No need to worry about cheaters in them.

This. And you don't have to worry about not being able to play the game when the player base dies.

Absolutely not and here's why.

Think about what this means for a start - what IS a VAC ban? Why, it's a ban for cheating in multiplayer games where you spoiled the experience for everyone else in your own selfish pursuit of enjoyment.

That is perhaps THE finest example of something we SHOULD DEFINITELY know about as other users.

So, no, absolutely no way. It's effective in telling us whether you're worth playing with. In some games, like Rust, for example, if this weren't here and people innocently teamed up with you, not knowing you were a cheater then they could be banned too.

Furthermore, there is the elephant in the room which I KNOW you're being dishonest about - the simple fact that this removal would only encourage people to cheat more.

Valve tried things like this - timed bans and so on, and what happened - people lied and kept cheating. So no, this is a valid result based on LONG experience which works.

Being able to hide your VAC ban whenever you want would only benefit one type of person: Cheaters.

who got a VAC for testing a cheat on CSGO

Yeah, ok. In other words, he cheated.

Bottom line...it's REALLY hard to get a VAC. You literally have to go out of your way to get one.

No, I don't remember that because it never happened.

Neither do I.

When I was 8 it was the 1970s, and me and my dad built my first computer (slowly) - a NASCOM 1. He did electronics and I was learning. Naturally because that was the state of affairs then, you get to respect and have a deeper understanding of what's going on plus you've got to roll your sleeves up and learn how to use it on your own.

So yeah, I royally ♥♥♥♥♥♥ around with code, on games or not. Later on with the ZX80, 81, and Spectrum I took great delight working with a friend who was a bloody genius, and we would put together utility programs to mod other games - one notable one I still have in my possession is a full modification suite for Jet Set Willy.

But here's the thing, while I was well into ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ around with code and doing what I wanted with it, had online gaming been on my radar then, I still would not have done ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ around with code that hurt other's play because even when I was a kid, I understood basic empathy.

So, no the "remember when you was 8 argument" is perhaps one of the dumbest excuses ever, agreed.
