VAC bans are permanent, non-negotiable, and cannot be removed by Steam Support.
That's the first sentence in your profile information; don't tell me you don't understand it.

Your VAC ban isn't visible to anyone anyway, since it's practically invisible after 5 years; only you can still see it.

No one else can see it on your profile but you. If it bothers you that much, make a new account to be rid of looking at red text. :steammocking:

In your last thread you said it was due to smurfing. Now you claim it was your friend. Which is it?

It's not going to happen no matter what the actual reason for your ban was, make a new account and move on.

No one else should be able to see it when they visit the profile. After five years, the red text will disappears Only the owner can see it.

Looks gross? It’s part of the punishment.

you were already been answered in your previous thread regarding your ban https://steamcommunity.com/discussions/forum/9/215439774853175687/

so I take it you are not the original owner and that you bought the account. Seeing you went from "i don't cheat" to "my friend cheated"

this is not true. I realize for the vast majority of bans it is, but I was falsely vac banned from joining a dayz server, it spawned my under a house and I was stuck. It took steam 6 months to fix it but they eventually did so, its not impossible.

yet OP is sitting with a 3279 day vacban. So OP ban is permanent. Also the problem with your story is, is that DayZ uses Battleeye anti cheat and not VAC, meaning that Valve/steam doesn't remove bans unless instructed by the Game/anti cheat Dev

your ban is nice and old, also permanent. FYI, the answer is still the same from last time.

Claiming someone post is not true, then continue to make a false story. Even i know both Dayz mod and DayZ standalone, uses Battleye and not Vac.

It is a permanent and irremovable GAME BAN.

Hello,
I understand, but I want to say that I have never used any cheats or third-party programs — this ban is completely unfair.

I just want to ask one thing:
Since my account got banned, is it possible to transfer my weapon skins and inventory items to another account?
Or are they permanently locked because of this ban?

Thank you for your time and understanding.

Best regards,
Jon Kennedy

No, you clearly don't understand anything.
Again: It's a GAME BAN.

So stop constantly talking about cheating. There are various possible reasons for this type of ban, and it's not unfair, since game bans are only issued when there's evidence and a valid reason.

Your skins will remain tied to your account for as long as your game ban is in effect.
