Over 3 years since you got it, you bought that account amigo?

after 1136 days and you still haven't clicked on the "info" button. See below link and info for your ban. Also if the ban was incorrect then it would have been removed anywhere between couple minutes to couple days to couple weeks to maybe a month or two after you receiving the ban, definitely not after couple years. Also doesn't matter who used the account, ban stays.

Why was I VAC banned?
VAC bans are applied when an account, or an account using the phone number tied to other accounts, connects to a VAC-secured server while running cheat software.

Valve Anti-Cheat regularly checks the game files of all users connected to Valve's servers to ensure third party software is not being used which gives players an advantage. If software of this kind is detected a VAC ban will be issued.

Can you tell me what program or software caused my VAC ban?
No. We do not disclose the cheats that were detected while connected to a VAC-secured server that resulted in a VAC ban. We have detailed records for each VAC ban, however, releasing this information would only benefit cheat developers. The VAC team regularly investigates claims of false VAC bans to increase the effectiveness of Valve Anti-Cheat.

Can I appeal my VAC ban?
No. VAC bans cannot be appealed. If a VAC ban is issued incorrectly it will be automatically removed after investigation, but Steam Support does not manually remove VAC bans applied to accounts for any reason.

I was not using my account when it was VAC banned. Can the ban be removed?
No. Any bans added to an account will remain regardless of who was using the account at the time the infraction occurred. Ultimately, the use and security of your Steam account are your responsibility.

While we understand this can be frustrating, we must maintain a zero tolerance policy for cheating to foster a fair game that all players will enjoy.

VAC bans are permanent. You can’t remove the ban. Don’t cheat please.

I wasn't banned, YOU were.

Or you bought an account with a ban!

Also technically YOU didn't cheat, but someone else did that's why the account was banned. That said vac doesn't care WHO uses the account just that it was used

- 9 year old account with a empty post history
- Complains about their 1136 days old vac ban.

Stop buying accounts.

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