Steam needs to do better at detecting (ban evading) alt accounts.

i think you are allowed to evade bans with alts

i could be wrong if so copy that part of the rules that says you cant.
i think it was removed some time ago.

Ban evasion is generally not accepted, but is not a part of Valce rules

generally not accepted by who?

By most platforms, as there is a reason for why you where banned, and if they simply alow ban eveding, then why even ban you in the first place

They detect it, they just don't do much until someone doing that becomes an even larger nuisance than usual.

Most places dont allow ban evasion and even list rules in regard to it, because that shows ill-intention a majority of the time, and as we've seen when people abuse alts/ban evade without punishment they just troll or argue all the time.

they used to not allow ban evasion but it was removed some time ago. maybe in some extreme cases we dont know about. we cant say for sure.

How do they do such a thing? AI?

Never needed AI to detect blatant behavior especially from the same exact connections. Let alone the stuff that can be seen these days.

It's only ban evading if you get caught.

Actually, it is ban evading if you don't get caught. If you get caught it is ban baiting.

IP bans.

IP bans.

That only is so useful. But everyone using alts makes it so blatantly obvious let alone tends to state they do so.

IP bans do nothing but hurt other innocent people. First IPs can be changed easily are are not unique. Some ISPs route multiple customers through the same IP, also not all ISPs use static IPs.


I have to pay for a static and unique ip from my isp.

How would you feel if your IP ended up in Valve's ban list because of someone else?

they can't, it is nearly impossible to tell the difference between a normal user and a ban evader it seems 😪

Wait, it's not against the rules! Holy ♥♥♥♥, yes! Time to keep evading. I'm going to make 9000 other alts!

Note: This is a joke. That is waaaaaay too much effort and even I am not that determined.
