and so i logon today and of course i get a "your steam account has been banned for cheating"


nice

[Raven]

I don't get it

[Dark Orb Choir]

the guy must have stolen my steam id somehow and used that to cheat on steam servers with VAC installed.


hence my ban

[throdgrain]

I think I do.

[Debaser]

so... you gave him your details then?

[Dark Orb Choir]

did i fuck, read what i put, the bloke actually replied which i thought well strange, he knew he was busted but he must have hax'd into my account somehow.

its not coincidence that a day later i get banned.....

the steam terms state if i get a vac ban it doesnt get overturned, but tbh, no one knows my account password, and it was valves own steam chat system that the bloke used to hax my account, so hopefully i can get something done about it....

I dont think it will make a difference, I read up on the steam website about it and it says:

In the event that a hijacked Steam account is banned by the Valve Anti-Cheat System, Steam Support will not be able to reverse the ban.

The problem valve have is that there is no way to tell the difference between people who just cheat, then invent a story about thier account getting hacked to cover it, and the people who really did have thier account stolen.

moral of the story: don't be a smartarse with steam hackers.
