Vac Ban is not working and working wrong!
Yesterday while I was playing CS2, there was a player named K1tara on the enemy team who was cheating — he had WH and AIM. When the score was 5-0, someone from my team also turned on cheats, and then the VAC system gave only us a 20-hour ban! But I don’t use cheats, so why am I being banned? Even though I reported that team, they didn’t get banned — this is unfair! Please remove my ban, I have no fault here. I shouldn’t be punished for something I didn’t do.

first you blaming someone then you continue on regarding an imaginary ban. Did you get a Global cooldown or a disconnected by vac? either one gives a link to the necessary info and both is not permanent

I am blaming the anti-cheat system, and I am right about this. Why are there so many cheaters in the game? Why is nobody fighting against them? Why are so many players moving to Faceit? Because Steam is turning into the most unreliable platform! As I mentioned, yesterday a cheater named “k1tara” was playing on the enemy team, shooting through walls and killing everyone. I submitted a report, but it was completely useless! Why don’t you ban him? He is obviously playing with cheats. Is this what you call your principles of fair play? I got a global 20-hour ban, even though I wasn’t using any cheats. Either create a proper system against cheaters or shut it down!

or maybe, just maybe, you can think further. This is a community only forum. Naming and shaming is against forum rules. i know as good as anyone else knows that faceit is just as full as cheaters as any other platform. Also reporting someone once, doesn't mean they get banned immediately, as bans are delayed on purpose, which all anticheats system do.

GLobal cooldown is just that, a cooldown, which you have to wait it out.

Why are Competitive cooldowns issued?
Competitive cooldowns exist to ensure that Counter-Strike matches are enjoyable for all players on the server. When a player commits actions which negatively impact the match and players in the match, they may receive a Competitive cooldown which keeps them from playing on Valve servers for a set period of time.

Competitive cooldowns will be issued regardless of whether or not an infraction was intentional and explicit warnings are given to players before committing an action that will result in a cooldown.

Competitive cooldowns are issued for the following reasons:

Failing to stay connected to the server
Any player who cannot remain connected or reconnect to the server in time will receive a Competitive cooldown. This may be caused by network, technical, or local issues with your machine, but any time a player leaves a Competitive server and does not reconnect in time a Competitive cooldown will be issued.

If you are experiencing network or technical issues that are causing Competitive cooldowns we suggest troubleshooting those issues before attempting to play another Competitive match. Please see our Troubleshooting Network Connectivity help article for more information.

Kicking too many teammates
Competitive cooldowns are issued to players who kick too many teammates in Competitive matches. Regardless of if you called the vote or only pressed 'F1' to kick the player, doing this too often will result in a Competitive cooldown for your account.

Cooldowns for kicking too many teammates are only issued to players abusing the vote kick option. We have a number of systems in place to ensure these types of cooldowns are issued correctly, and if you find yourself playing with abusive teammates we suggest reporting them in-game instead; calling votes to kick a teammate should only be done in extreme circumstances.

Being kicked from too many matches
If you are kicked from too many Competitive matches your account will receive a Competitive cooldown. Like kicking too many teammates, there are systems in place to ensure cooldowns of this kind are only issued to players being kicked an excessive amount.

Abandoning matches
Explicit warnings are shown to players who wish to abandon Competitive matches. Choosing to abandon an incomplete Competitive match will result in a Competitive cooldown for your account.

Users experiencing network or technical issues may be disconnected from Competitive matches, resulting in a cooldown for abandoning or failing to reconnect to the match in time.

Being AFK or not participating in matches
A player in a Competitive match who is AFK or not participating may be removed by the server. When this happens a Competitive cooldown will also be issued. If you find yourself needing to step away we recommend asking your teammates to call a timeout.

Receiving too many in-game reports for griefing
Players receiving an excessive number of in-game reports for griefing may receive a Competitive cooldown. A number of safeguards are in place to ensure these kinds of cooldowns cannot be abused.

VAC has flagged your gameplay as irregular
Players who VAC determines as having irregular gameplay will be disconnected from the match and receive a minimum one day competitive cooldown regardless of their current cooldown level.

Cooldowns issued for irregular gameplay prevent access to all game modes for the duration of the cooldown.

Note: players who receive a VACnet cooldown will have their CSR adjusted regardless of if they, or a player they partied with, caused the match to be canceled.

VAC flagged a member of your party's gameplay as irregular
Players who party with someone who is disconnected for irregular gameplay will receive the same minimum one day competitive cooldown as the disconnected player regardless of their current cooldown level.

Cooldowns issued for partying with a player who VAC disconnects for irregular gameplay prevents access to all game modes for the duration of the cooldown.

Note: players who receive a VACnet cooldown will have their CSR adjusted regardless of if they, or a player they partied with, caused the match to be canceled.

Can my Competitive cooldown be removed?
No. Regardless of the reason a Competitive cooldown was issued they cannot be removed from an account.

How long will my Competitive cooldown last?
Non-VACnet Competitive cooldowns in Counter-Strike 2 have four levels. When an account receives a Competitive cooldown, the cooldown level remains on the account for a one-week probationary period. Any additional cooldowns received during the one-week probationary period increases the amount of time players are restricted from matchmaking.
First cooldown (level 1) - lasts 30 minutes
Second cooldown (level 2) - lasts 2 hours
Third cooldown (level 3) - lasts 24 hours
Fourth cooldown (level 4) - lasts 1 week
A week of clean play will reduce an account's cooldown level by one. An account whose cooldown level has been reduced to level 2 through clean play would receive a level 3 (24 hour) cooldown on their next infraction.

Cooldowns issued by VAC for irregular gameplay are always for a minimum of one day and increment your cooldown level by 1.

Please note that cooldown levels can exceed level 4. Players whose cooldown level exceeds level 4 will need an extended period of clean play to have their cooldown level reduce beneath level 3.

How do I determine my current cooldown level?
Your current cooldown level can be determined by the length of the last non-VAC issued cooldown you have received:
My last cooldown lasted 30 minutes - you are currently at level 1
My last cooldown lasted 2 hours - you are currently at level 2
My last cooldown lasted 24 hours - you are currently at level 3
My last cooldown lasted one week - you are currently at level 4 (or above)

VAC bans
Players who have been VAC banned can find information in the I've been VAC banned help article. Additional information regarding VAC can be found in the Valve Anti-Cheat System (VAC) help article.

Game bans
Game bans are issued when a player attempts to circumvent or interfere with game systems to the detriment of others.

Detailed information about Game bans can be found in our I've been game banned help article.

GSLT bans
GSLT (Game Server Login Token) bans will be issued to server operators offering false inventories and/or profiles as a free or paid service via mods on their servers. More information about GSLT bans can be found in the GSLT ban help article.

Bans through Steam Family Sharing
Your Family Sharing privileges may be revoked and your account may be VAC banned if your Steam Family Sharing Library is used by others to conduct cheating or fraud. Additionally, VAC-banned games cannot be shared with other accounts

here you are complaining about a cooldown, how bad must you be to complain about cooldowns, especially when its only temporary. Also there is a report system in game, so report and move on, naming and shaming is against forum rules. FYI i know for a fact that faceit as the same amount if not more cheaters. By the end of the day, there is no anti cheat which is fool proof, meaning non of those devs can't change people, all multiplayer games have cheaters in it.

I understand, but an effective way to fight against them must be found, because after a thousand good players, if just one cheater enters the game and drops the rank you worked so hard to raise, how fair is that? A player’s motivation for the game decreases! Just as a person cannot tolerate injustice, it is also impossible to tolerate this!

Good luck finding a way to fix human nature. As the is the only real fix for cheating.

No anti-cheat is ever going to be perfect. Game devs learned the one along time ago. That is why all anti-cheats have moved away from trying to stop cheating to punishing the ones that do.
