No anti-cheat in the world is perfect.
What you're doing is pointless, since no one from Valve reads the VAC forum; there are only regular users here.

i always be seeing tf2 hackers and its makin me mad

or better yet, make suggestion on how they can fix it, instead of complaining, or better yet, make your own anti cheat system, seeing you can do a better job.

But anyway, all multiplayer games have cheaters in it.

Unfortunately, completely eradicating cheaters is next to impossible. It's a constant arms race.

Nobody from Valve reads the title either; as I said, nobody in the vac forum works for Valve.

You are following an outdated guide.

Valve cannot fix people.

Until you eradicate the human predilection to gain any advantage at any cost, there will always be cheaters, liars and thieves.

Cheating and catching cheaters in any online game is always a game of cat and mouse that never ends.

Do you know how VAC works?

A cheat that is known to VAC is detected almost instantly. The account is then flagged for a ban. The application of the ban is what is delayed for the reason here:

It should be noted that VAC employs the use of delayed bans in order to disrupt the development process of cheats - a ban imposed today may have been the result of a cheat detected by VAC two weeks previously.

A random timer is probably set for the delay, when that timer runs out...ban is applied.


Want instant bans? Keep reading.

You're helping cheaters AND cheat devs with any kind of instant cheating ban. So, if you are against cheating, you DO NOT want instant bans. Cheater is banned instantly. Cheater goes back to cheat maker, cheat is updated. See the problem here? There's a reason why bans are delayed.


Yup the community does suck. VAC bans use to be temporary.

Valve doesn't owe the community. The community owes Valve. The community AGREED not to cheat when creating the accounts. So........

You may not use Cheats, automation software (bots), mods, hacks, or any other unauthorized third-party software, to modify or automate any Subscription Marketplace process, the process of Steam account creation or otherwise in interacting with or controlling the processes or user interface of Steam, except to the degree expressly permitted.

Valve started working on a "long-term solution" for cheating in 2001. VAC's initial release was with Counter-Strike in 2002. During this initial release, the system only banned players for 24 hours. The duration of the ban was increased over time; players were banned for 1 year and 5 years, until VAC2 was released in 2005, when any new bans became permanent.

Temporary VAC bans were tried. People kept cheating.

Valve was lenient and gave people second chances. Valve stopped being lenient and cheaters were the reason.
