VAC Ban Inquiry - Review Timeframe & Reason?
Hello,
I recently received a VAC ban and believe it was applied incorrectly, as I have never cheated. I understand that VAC bans are permanent unless wrongly issued, in which case they are automatically reversed.
My questions are:
* How long can it take for a mistakenly applied VAC ban to be automatically removed?
* Is there any way to determine the specific reason or "problem" that triggered the ban? Understanding this would be helpful to ensure I avoid any potential issues in the future, even if unknowingly.
Any information or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

It is not a VAC ban. Your GAME ban has nothing to do with VAC or this forum.

Game bans can be issued for more than just cheating!

There's a red GAME BAN label on your profile, next to it in white is a link titled INFO. click that for information.

Ok thank you but on my activison ticket I revived the answer that they found no suspicious activity on my account. I’m sorry I’m new to understanding this and get some clarity

Level 1 Activision support is just balls. Keep pestering them.

In that info I can’t find any useful information, baned by developer. But not a specific reason or program..

Valve doesn't have that information. Only Activision does.

game bans are for many reasons, like cheating or match making or smurfing or just being toxic which includes insulting other players or team killing etc etc.
we don't know how you play, sometimes people get game banned after getting mad at cheaters and cursing them out.
