They won't answer.

The bans are permanent.

You can't be banned for console commands. Steam Support CAN'T remove any bans. The ban is still permanent.

Multiple VAC bans on record | Info
635 day(s) since last ban

ALL still permanent forever.

VAC bans are for cheating..


There's your answer, so now you can stop asking.

I can personally guarantee you. You're banned because you cheated or you used console commands by hacking the game. Either that or you let some other guy to use your account to cheat.

I was a TF2 server admin once and I did use cheat console commands when my server is VAC secured. But I didn't hack it, I remote consoled and enable sv_cheats and noclip. VAC didn't ban me for 6 years so far not because I cheated, because I used console commands correctly and not injecting or hacking, making console commands work when the server doesn't allow it.

I have also validated it with Steam Support years ago as I got paranoid about it. They told me you won't get VAC banned via console commands if the server has cheats enabled, even if VAC secured mode is on.

Considering you have multiple VAC bans, it says it all. You don't need to convince us or even Valve for innocence.

"Multiple vac bans" yeah that's pretty strong evidence to say that you understand how cheating works.

sv_cheats <boolean>
Most cvars that affect gameplay, especially in multiplayer games, are flagged as "cheats". Submit sv_cheats 1 to unlock them.
Note: You will never be VAC banned for using built-in cheat commands.

This should clear up the confusion and hopefully will prevent you from posting unnecessary topics in the future.

Too bad sv_cheats is for Source engine games, not for ARK which uses the Unreal Engine 4.

He had two years to rehearse his excuse and he still got it wrong...lol. It's probably a bought account.
