Vac ban

This, cheaters always cry the most :D ....it's never them, always someone else's fault.

Added: to the poster above, it's not about hate, it's just that 9/10 the people creating these threads have cheated, I'm not saying this OP has, but if I was running VAC, there is no way I should lift a ban like this, why did he not get it removed when the hack actually took place, ...more I think about this ...the stronger the smell gets!

It is about hate...

There are a number of posters on this thread who have made assumptions based on nothing but their own prejudices against a perceived cheater. "he has a VAC ban, HE must be a cheater!!!" *get out pitch forks" even though the hijacking and theft from steam accounts is still a massive issue....

As for why the OP wants their old account back...... I asked the very same question.
 
I don’t want my old account back I’m still using it. I will continue to use it, I just asked a question if I could get my vac lifted as id been hacked (and if you guys don’t believe me I can post my emails and support log on here) I don’t care about the game they can keep it, it’s just embarrassing having a vac ban on my account form 2009, I tried to talk to steam about lifting it at the time, but steam would not move on it so 7 years later I asked you guys for any info and some of you do try and help but some people like to just flame me
Oh and sorry if my spelling is not up to scratch I have dyslexia
 
but why do you even want it removed, it only stops you playing that particular game doesnt it?

There really isn't an issue here unless you want the ban undone so you can play that game again or cheat again, and seeing as you've said you're not bothered about the game anyway then its obvs not a problem.

Out of all the things in life to worry about, having a vac ban on your steam account isn't up there at all.

:rolleyes::D:p pitchfork at the ready, I'm pretty sure I'm right so ....
 
A vac ban is a status Scratch that it's more of a branding. You wonder why people question you funnily when you have something like that aside your profile. Im not saying this to "flame" you individually, almost all threads on here end like this. A friend of mine is vac banned and he gets whole lot more **** than you have seen in this thread especially because he claims he let his friend on his account who then hacked and got him banned. It's life deal with it if you really want it gone that bad start a new account or put up with ***** like me and several others who struggle to hold faith in people who hold such a mark.

No... if you hack you get banned simple. Besides this steam is pretty much un hackable due to steam guard. They don't care if you say you have or haven't been hacked because it would be beyond easy to run a VPN whilst hacking to modify your location.

Jeez dude, lay off the guy! It was completely possible that Steam accounts could be hacked prior to 2011 when Steam Guard was introduced. Perhaps you should do some research before jumping all over the OP for his post. Doesn't the fact that he says he got his account back indicate that he indeed was hacked? Valve don't just give your account back for no reason...

And btw, even with Steam Guard now, it's possible for your account to be hijacked. Not that I should have to prove this, but I do feel that there are some in this thread that are being totally unnecessary in their treatment of the OP.

To the OP, I'm afraid it'll remain. Steam aren't known for going back on things like that I'm afraid.

yes but how many of those are hacked to play a game with cheats? Farming CC details I can understand, even more inventory theft but not to play MW2 with hacks.

Well the OP says it was 6 years ago and not much has changed since. Using hacked accounts to cheat in games is still very much a thing. Especially when you can pick up compromised accounts for so little.

My point is directed at those who somehow feel that Steam can't be hacked because of steam guard. It can and it is and just perhaps the OP is telling the truth and "gut feeling" is wrong for a change...

Cheats deserve everything they get when proved beyond doubt. However a transgression years ago does not mean someone should still be getting flamed on the basis of totally nieve and quite incorrect beliefs regarding security of steam... Steam, just like every other internet account, is open to hacking and think otherwise is being complacent and stupid.
 
If his account got hacked and has been reset by steam then i dont see why the vac ban can't be removed. His account should be restored to 100% the state it was in before the hack.

For those saying its impossible to get pass steam guard then that is I am sorry to say rubbish.

Thousands of accounts get hacked a month even with steam guard.
I know I was one of them.

To this day I still don't know how - I spent hours trawling my email access logs (i use a third party email provider) and couldn't see any evidence of anyone else accessing my emails. I never even received a steam guard email. Just an email saying your password has been changed followed by a whole host of other emails.

It might of taken them two weeks to restore my account (i.e. 12 days before they even responded... seriously steam sort out your support response times!) But, it did get all reset. Apart from my friends list. Apparently they can't reset that :(
