Yup, that’s the only reason to get VACd. The only one. And noone ever got banned for something else.
Technically it’s right what @steelMailbox said.
I remember those poor people who got VACd by the free-MW3-weekend for just playing the game. Or from MW2 and things like just random bans or bot-modus-programs.
Believe or not, not really important, but personally got VAC-banned for trying to fix CS:GO crashing all the time in loading screen with a .dll file.
A VAC doesn’t mean the guy is cheating.
But obvious cheating with multiple VACs and a low-level account is probably cheating.[/quote]
I understand your frustration since you have VAC ban too.
And I already said in the first post: “I also know there’s people with VAC who doesn’t currently cheat”
I also know you can get rid of false VAC bans if you can prove it was for wrong reasons.[/quote]
Frustration? What?
I tried to get it removed, but Valve support said they can’t do anything about the VAC system because it’s a total different team sitting on it. But, because It happened in the refund time of steam (within 2 hours after byuing I believe), I got my money back.
Edit: I don’t believe they lift VACs ever, too. Can you please show some source of what you said? Not like I on’t believe you, but I’ve never seen someone, nor heard of lifted VAC bans for the reason I wrote above.[/quote]
Well I assumed it would be frustrating to get VAC if you seriously only tried to fix some crashes.
Here is one of the stories for example: https://www.reddit.com/r/GlobalOffensive/comments/2cm34j/yes_false_vac_bans_do_happen_my_ban_was_lifted/[/quote]
Not really. I don’t really mind it since I disliked the CS:GO gameplay and its differences from the original CS 1.6.
All I’ve got from Valve was “We can’t lift your ban since VAC and the Valve support are 2 different teams” and so on. But as I said, it happened within the refund time-range, so well, shit happens.
But to be honest, that reddit story looks fishy. He never actually shows his profile with the VAC-ban, only an ingame screenshot of CS. He could take a banned profile and rename it like his non-banned. And his proof in form of vacbanned.com also says he was never banned in form of “NOT BANNED” instead of “UNBANNED” which means “was banned and unbanned again”.
