Bans in csgo
Right before I start id like to clear up the fact that I have a VAC ban on my account from 200 days ago, this ban was applied for team fortress 2 and yes i did cheat and was banned rightfully. But today I logged onto CS:GO and got this message -

You've been banned by Overwatch in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive until 7 May.
This ban was applied to your account because another account cheated while using your verified phone number.

You can view your Steam account's In-Game Ban status and see a list of games affected by a specific ban by visiting your ban history.


Please see our Valve Anti-Cheat System (VAC) Article for more information about how VAC Bans are applied.

I know that this is just a temporary ban but when i load into csgo it doesnt say I have a cooldown, instead i have a different error message to my other accounts, on my other accounts it says I have a minorly disruptive cooldown, but on here i have no cooldown message, just a message saying banned by overwatch as shown on my profile. So am i perminantly banned or just temporarily?

You have only one ban on your profile, so your CS:GO ban should be temporary.

"You've been banned by Overwatch in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive until 7 May"

So you typed that, and you still deemed the topic worthy of posting?

The date given is unusual. A minorly disruptive ban issued today would expire on May 21, not May 7.

Im just curious because you see the message i have in game is one you'd get for an untrusted ban and is different to all my other accounts messages, so i was just clearing things up and deemed it a worthy post

Untrusted bans say Untrusted.

Permanently untrusted bans say permanently untrusted....

Note another greifing ban will be a permanent ban

They either say this account is permanently untrusted, or say in yellow this account has been banned by overwatch

There's no "either" in there. It says the first one and that's it. Any other questions on-topic or will that be all for today?

Nope.

Banned by overwatch is the default vac ban msg.

That is not the full OW message.

If the word "untrusted" appears anywhere, then you have an untrusted ban, which is permanent. If this is the case, a VAC ban will appear shortly. If you want to check early, you can try trading an item (it won't go through if you're permanently banned).

If you have both, then the more restrictive one (untrusted) applies.
