Vac ban without no reason and no cheating

[Ryan Ghosting]

I only enter deathmatch to get a weekly crate. I don't even play ranked games. Despite this, I was vac-banned in a ridiculous and unnecessary way tonight. I've been playing this game for 10 years and I haven't cheated once. Why do you ban innocent accounts like me when cheaters are so obvious?

Go to your profile, then click on the info link within the red text. This link contains everything you need to know.

Game bans cannot be removed by anyone on Steam save for the game developer that issued the ban.

If it's Valve (CS 2 or DotA 2), it won't be lifted. If it's someone else, contact them instead.

A game ban in CS 2 is given for blatant cheating, incessant griefing or for being involved in matchmaking manipulation. A CS 2 game ban is not appealable under any circumstance. VAC and Game bans from CS:GO carry over to CS2 without exception.

A game ban in DotA 2 is given for gross misconduct like verbal abuse, cheating, smurfing, boosting or unsportsmanlike conduct like intentional feeding. A DotA 2 game ban is not appealable under any circumstance.

A game ban in any other game than CS 2 or DotA 2 may be given for cheating, whether detected by a third-party system such as Easy Anti Cheat or BattlEye, or other anti-cheat systems and processes, or for any other game rule violation. It depends on the developer whether they take and process appeals.

In accordance with Section 1 C of the Steam Subscriber Agreement, you are responsible for all actions on your account, no matter who used the account.

Game bans are permanent and do not become hidden from your profile after 7 years.

Game bans are off-topic here.

Wow without reason AND without cheat. Typically the reason for a vac ban IS cheating but just to make sure you had all bases covered you provided absolute assurance to random steam users that you have done nothing to cause the ban. To matters worse you have mistakingly posted in the vac forum when you have a game ban.

Posted in the VAC Discussion forum without no VAC ban and for no reason.

There, that's better.

Now, next time (or now is fine) use the "info" button right on your profile next to the red text of the ban notice. That will explain all you need to know.

Your game ban has nothing to do with VAC or this forum.

I have no experience because this nonsense that has never happened to me before. That's why I posted on the forum because I didn't know what to do and Steam itself directed me to this forum. Also, there is no need for sarcastic attitude. Since Counter Strike 2 came out, many people have been banned for no reason. I'm sure, you don't know this situation.

The ban is permanent. Game bans are issued for blatant cheating, a second griefing offense, or being involved in account boosting.

"Can I appeal my game ban?"

No. Game bans cannot be appealed and are not removed from accounts.

Counter-Strike 2 game bans are permanent, non-negotiable, and cannot be removed by Steam Support.

https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/4E54-0B96-D0A4-1557

So since not even Steam Support can remove your game ban, what do you expect from regular Steam users by posting in a user only forum ?

No one here can do anything about your game ban, and game bans have nothing to do with VAC.

I have never cheated in my life, this is my first ban but I was banned in first ban permanently. I haven't even played ranked for 8 years. I was only playing deathmatch twice a week. In fact, in my last game, my connection got very bad strangely I had so many lag for 10 minutes and the match ended with a score of 20 kills and 50 deaths. Does a cheating man have such a ridiculous bad score?

Counter-Strike cooldowns and bans are non-negotiable and cannot be removed or reduced by Steam Support.

If an automated cooldown or ban is determined to have been issued incorrectly, it will automatically be rolled back by our servers. If you wish to discuss this system with the community, you may do so here. <---------------------

That "HERE" goes to the CS2 forum, not the VAC forum. And it says "discuss the system" not "discuss your ban".

I just wanted to get information and see if there are people who have experienced a similar situation today. This was just my expectation, and since I opened the topic, I've been getting arrogant, demanding answers mostly. It's not necessary. You don't have to criticize anyone. As I mentioned in two previous messages, Steam itself directed me here.

Poor connection will not result in a ban.

You seem to be missing the point that game bans can be given for reasons other than cheating.

Just today ?

People have the same situation here regularly, daily, and minute by minute. Pretty much 99% of the threads that people post here have a title that is something to the tune of "banned for no reason".

Doesn't mean they really were banned for no reason, by them simply posting it here. Feel free to use the forum search for "banned for no reason" and give the search results plenty of time to load as it will be huge.

As far as "info" on the ban, that is given from the "info" button right on your profile next to the ban notice.

I don't miss anything. If I cheated and got banned, why would I come and open a topic here? Moreover, whether I am ranked or not and what scores I got in my last games are recorded in the system. In case of a possible confirmation, it will be proven that I am lying and even if there is a possibility of the ban being removed, it will not be removed for this reason.

I also came across someone else who experienced a similar situation. I'm sure there are more than two people experiencing this nonsense. You don't need to be so accusatory.

Thanks for the info.
