Regardless of how old the ban was the user should lose the privilege of making their account private because of the fact they can't be trusted due to their suspicious behavior and conduct. This action should be permanent to people with multiple vac bans on their account as well.

You can still see the ban regardless.

And no, their privacy will not be undone.

This seems like something that was suggested for a specific reason.
You can already see vac/game bans, so that much is obvious. I don't see why that should affect profile privacy choice.

Yeah no. As far as I'm concerned privacy is a basic right.

No? You can still see the ban even if an account is private. Why do you need to see someone else’s account so badly?

It would serve no purpose as looking their profile, other than the ban message that appears regardless of privacy, will determine if the person can be trusted with anything.

Someone wants to peek into a cheater's profile?
Sorry, but being a cheater doesn't void someone's right to privacy.
And their ban status shows anyway.

No they should not. They get a red text on their account that say "Vac banned" or "Game banned" those texts are visible on friends only/private accounts too.

You do not need to know anything else.

Thanks but no thanks
