Posted January 22, 200520 yr I have read some posts and threads from SteamPowered and here and I was just wondering if they REALLY can report you to Valve. From what I gather Valve does not give a flying fuck about what people tell them, they catch people via VAC, but I could be wrong. If this is true I have lost all respect for people that say stupid shit like "I AM REPORTING YOU TO VALVE ADN YOU WILL GET BANNED!!!!11". Anyway, can they?
January 22, 200520 yr Question I want to report a cheater, new cheat, cheat website, or abusive admin Answer We appreciate our customers support in our anti-cheat efforts. All of our player bans occur through the VAC (Valve Anti-Cheat) system and we do not ban individual players based on reports from third parties. We appreciate your good intentions by reporting individual players suspected of cheating but we do not use these reports. However, if you know of a new cheat, especially private cheats (ones that aren't on a public website), and can provide the links or the actual binaries, please visit the SteamPowered Forums and PM (private mail) a moderator there and they will pass the information along to the VAC team. Note: Please do not publicly post SteamIDs, Cheats or links to Cheater Websites on the forums. .
January 22, 200520 yr Author well then what does steambans.com do? can they submit to Valve or are they just there for moral support?
January 22, 200520 yr Valve really doesnt give a rat dripping turd ball who or what happens on there servers as long as it doesn't affect there profit margins! So even if they get emails saying that some sheep-molesting shit sucking myg0t tagged gamewhore is raging and ruining all the little pimple popping geeks sessions of life, the last thing they do is call a conference, in fact.... I know this fact fur sure! they have a mail BIN on the tech. support mail server labeled [exploits anc cheat reports] which currently holds 14232312 messages and has been growing at a steady 1000+ per day with stupid fucks like yourself who whine and complain about "Johny Rottens" last rage and how it made you so mad you will call up your lawer and whip up a class action lawsuit against them if they don't investigate and execute the cheater and his entire familly to help mend your little broken geek heart! So next time someone cheats and you run around flaunting his STEAM ID and spam the server chat console with how your going to ruin his life. ask yourself this: Am just another Valve gimpzoid teenager spitting jibberish on a monitor?
January 24, 200520 yr r4iney']Steambans.com is not associated with Valve in any way. Probably made by some raged cs players who got tired of VAC. We have a similar organisation here in Australia called AOCAB. Fortunately their project has been running for a while with varied degrees of success. If you are AOCAB banned then are you banned from playing on literally hundreds of Australian servers. All the main leagues anyway.
January 24, 200520 yr Valve doesn't manually ban anyone only VAC bans. If they wouldn't do this people would make fake demos and send it to them.
January 24, 200520 yr Author That makes sense. I would spend a day making fake demos of people that i didnt want to be able to play anymore. It would be funny (for me).
