CS:S.... cheating and steam bans

[krisboats]

I've been playing CS:S a bit again lately and have been playing against people that are much better than me. I've started improving myself now and you could say i'm even starting to rival them a bit.

Thing is though, when i play on my other favourite servers everyone acuses me of cheating and what not. I know i'm not, but aparantly i'm wall hacking and aimbotting, guess i must have been getting better than i thought

Now on a couple of servers the people who acuse me seem to go and grab some admin from somewhere and i get moaned at and kicked out. When i rejoin a few days later same thing happens, i get some ridiculous score everyone acuses me of cheating and all of a sudden people are quoting my steam ID left right and centre and i'm "getting reported to steam for an account ban".

Now i've heard things about steam locking peoples accounts and all their games are gone, having got quite a few games through steam now i'm quite worried that they could do something like this. Basically i'm asking what are the chances of someone reporting me for "cheating" and what is the likelyhood of losing my account? Will i be warned first or will i randomly find it locked one day?

I don't see why i should lose my account because i play better than other people, is there soemthing i can tell them to prove i'm not cheating or will i just have to purposefully play bad in order to prevent being called a cheat in the first place?

Cheers,
Kris

How will a video help though? I mean i play assault a fair amount as a T and its obvious where the people will come in from so you can get headshots on almost every kill. Won't constant headshots look a bit dodgy if its just a video?

You guys have filled me with confidence. Cheers, i can go out and happily get the ridiculous score of 156:23 i had earlier

Spawnpoint servers are funny, full of americans, constantly lag, spike and stop responding but i still love em

Ah cool. Well i guess i shan't worry about it anymore. Nice to see so many people willing to help answer for me, thanks.

As to not seeing many hackers, i've seen 2 in the last week. They were blatant hackers who got to the point where everyone knew it and they "came out" and just annihalated the entire team within a few seconds. Watching him through spectator cam was ceasure-inducing as he spun round so damn fast pausing briefly for half a second or so to fire off a single headshot at someone who was just behind a wall. The other team combatted this with their other hacker and it was more of a demonstration on who had the quickest hack.... still it was nice when i managed to headshot the first hacker........ twice
