I got falsely overwatch banned.

[SexyHinata]

I am innocent. I have never cheated.

Many people are abusing the overwatch ban and are falsely banning players. I have quite expensive skins and people will see that in my overwatch game and instantly report to get people with skins like me banned. There are even websites set up with bots which are able to overwatch ban numerous accounts very easily.

Valve, please look into fixing this issue.

Thank you !

There is nothing to fix. Your ban has nothing to do with VAC or this forum. It can not be discussed here. Support will not lift this ban in any circumstances.

Wrong, report bots don't work.

Issue was fixed, cheater was found and banned.

Also, not a VAC ban and has nothing to do with this Forum.

...also it's permanent.

That's why overwatch bans require a consensus among several people who review your game anonymously. Are you saying every single person who was selected to view your game was a "bot" who wanted to ban you for no reason?

Game bans have nothing to do with VAC.

Let me explain

- My Overwatch ban was turned into a V.A.C ban so it is related
- There is a full video explaining how simple it is to falsely overwatch ban a player and we know how valve are with fixing issues.

- I wasnt talking about myself in but instead in general with players using myself as an example

You have a GAME ban, it clearly shows on your profile, 35 days ago. Game bans are permanent if they appear on your profile.

This is a video used to spread false information.

Overwatch also has nothing to do with VAC, it's s separate anti cheat system.

1. Wrong. Both have nothing to do with.
2. All videos are irrelevant, and more than 10 overwatchers already found your demo guilty and a game ban was issued.
3. Ok.

Report bots don't work ever and the ban is PERMANENT. You can stop asking right.

This account has a GAME ban, nothing to do with VAC or this forum.

Users are responsible for the security of the account and all that happens on it. Banned accounts who are hijacked/stolen are permanent and cannot appealed.

Game bans for CS:GO are also permanent and are either given for blatant cheating or a second griefing offense, no other reasons.

Incorrect.

The OW system maintains reliability by reducing weighting of those that apply verdicts inconsistent with test cases. Accounts are only banned by OW on unanimous verdict from all investigators participating in review of that case.

Report "bots" do not work. It is painfully obvious when particular accounts (bots) send multiple reports for the same target accounts in consistent manner. Valve are well aware of these attempts.

Any CSGO playing account that is invited to review OW will need to consistently and accurately maintain a high quality of verdicts (especially of the random test-cases that are frequently sent for review) in order to continue to be invited. Should the accuracy weighting of that accoutn fall below a threshold, the account will no longer be invited to review OW cases and reports will be given lower prio. Since accoutns must also gain sufficient trust and reliabilityy in reporting these factors make it impossible for OW investigation to be disrupted or undermined by automation (bots).

Please refer to the official documentation and commentary from Valve staff rather than random internet users with regards to the workings of Overwatch.
