Request for Review of VAC Ban on My Account

Dear Steam Support,

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to formally request a review of a VAC ban that was recently issued on my Steam account. I understand the importance of maintaining a fair and secure environment for all players, and I fully respect Steam's policies and enforcement systems.

However, I was surprised to find that my account had received a VAC ban, as I have always made efforts to play games fairly and abide by the rules. If there was a misunderstanding or if the ban was triggered by a third-party application running in the background, I would deeply appreciate the opportunity to clarify the situation.

Here are the details of my account and the ban:

Steam Account Username: [pouria2314]

p1mple / Profile Link: p1mple
Date of Ban:

Game Affected: counter strike 2

I kindly request that you look into this matter and provide any information available regarding the reason for the ban. If there's anything I can do to assist in the review process, please let me know. I value my time on Steam and the community I’ve built there, and I sincerely hope this can be resolved.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Best regards, pouria2314 with steam account name p1mple

Dear pouria2314,

Thank you for reaching out to us.

We understand your concern regarding the recent VAC ban on your Steam account. Please know that we appreciate your commitment to fair play and your desire to clarify the circumstances surrounding this issue.

However, we must inform you that VAC (Valve Anti-Cheat) bans are permanent, non-negotiable, and cannot be reviewed or lifted under any circumstances. This policy is in place to ensure the integrity and security of the Steam platform and its multiplayer environments.

VAC is an automated system designed to detect cheats with a high degree of accuracy. When a VAC ban is issued, it is the result of conclusive evidence that the account in question was running cheat software while connected to a VAC-secured server. As such, we are unable to provide further details about the specific detection or trigger involved.

We understand that this may not be the outcome you were hoping for, but please be advised that Steam Support is unable to make exceptions to this policy.

If you have any further questions about Steam policies or account security, we would be happy to assist.

Thank you for your understanding.

Best regards,
(NOT) Steam Support

ChatGPT isn't a panacea for everything.

It's also not very smart to post your problem in the user-only VAC forum, especially revealing your account login name.
They don't even need it (even IF they could do something) I mean it's valve they have access to the backend of the system.

The Steam discussions aren't the appropriate place to dispute specific bans, please read the following FAQ
