Wrongful Team Fortress 2 Game Ban

[citizen_]

As the title says, I was issued a wrongful permanent ban from TF2. I cannot join any VAC protected server. I have been playing for over 12 years, I have never cheated before. my understanding is that since it is called a "Game Ban", it was issued by a human developer.

If anyone has experienced this, or has any wisdom on what I can do to appeal this, I would appreciate some help.

you have a GAME BAN, game bans have nothing to do with this forum.

this is not a ban appeal forum, nothing you post is getting the ban removed. you cannot appeal the ban

yes, if you read my post, I asked for input from people who may have experienced this. this is obviously not an appeal.

Why are game bans issued?
Game bans in Team Fortress 2 are issued when a player attempts to circumvent or interfere with game systems to the detriment of others.

Examples include:
Cheating.
Manipulation of Competitive Mode rank.
Botting and/or automation.
Intentionally interfering with the normal operation of game servers or other players.
Activity or in-game behavior that is intended primarily to be extremely disruptive to the experience of other players.

Team Fortress 2 game bans are permanent, non-negotiable, and are not removed by Steam Support.

Thanks, I didn't ask what a Game Ban is. I asked if anyone had experience dealing with a wrongfully issued Game Ban.

doesnt matter what you asked for. game bans have nothing to do with this forum nor vac. the only information your going to get from this forum is that the ban is permanent and cannot be appealed.

the INFO link on your profile explains everything.

Just about everyone that gets vac banned or game banned claims it was falsely applied and that they did nothing wrong.

It doesn't explain why I was banned. it doesn't explain how I can appeal a falsely issued ban. that is why I am here. if you have nothing useful to say, just move along.

I understand that, but that doesn't mean innocent people don't get banned sometimes.

The information I was given left a lot of questions unanswered. You can keep copying and pasting the same links over and over that I have already read. I understand and agree with permanently banning cheaters, that is not being disputed. I am asking specifically how I can appeal a falsely issued ban, since I am innocent and never cheated. I am NOT a cheater asking for forgiveness, I am an innocent player of 12 years who is trying to get this error corrected.

Try clicking on that info button next to the ban notice on your profile.

For Valve games like TF2, you can't. If you believe your ban is unfair, then you're simply out of luck. For other games, it depends on the developer.

thanks, if you had read any previous replies you would know the info button does not tell me how I can appeal a falsely issued Game Ban.
