For some people that have vac/game bans that have been a while since the last, of they're having a problem with VAC, I say "if you're listed ban isn't from such game, please post your exact message you're receiving. This is usually for bans longer than 100 days.

that doesn't look liek community banned, that looks like termination.

i will need to add you to be a contributor.

my usual copy/paste message is also helpful but im starting to not do that.

Hope this is ok here, but I have recently attempted to comprise a list of commonly-seen errors/ban messages for those "I have a VAC ban" threads where users have no ban visible on the profile, and it sometimes takes them a page or two to post the message they are seeing.

This is maybe confusing to them or somehow they don't understand, as they often take so long to post the message. So I have made a list to maybe cut down on that and hopefully help them and the forum users to cause less stress and frustration in asking for the message.

Here it is so far. I am trying to keep it short for less confusion, but feel free to suggest any additinos and also, copy and paste this as you wish, to maybe help anyone in such a situation.

Pick the exact message or "ban" from the list below, please. DO NOT guess, if you are unsure.

1. "VAC was unable to verify your game session"
2. "Disconnected by VAC - You cannot play on VAC secured servers"
3. "Global Cooldown - Majorly Disruptive"
4. "Global Cooldown - Minorly Disruptive"
5. "Global Cooldown - This account is permanently untrusted"
6. "You have launched the game in insecure mode"
7. "You have been banned from this server"

If somehow it is none of the above, then post what you saw in exact words instead.

maybe you and me can work on my start of a VAC errors thread that i posted a while ago.

I got a guide for vac errors if that contributes.
