The account cheated or some sort of sharing has occurred. (account, library or phone number)

引用自 Mrk a spíš：

At that time, my account was connected to a phone number and Steam Guard shared between two accounts (mine and my friend’s)

The 'friend' must have cheated. The ban is correct then.

VAC bans are permanent! And the items are locked to the account.

No steam support here and they have nothing to do with vac bans. They cannot remove them.

Valve warns you about using your phone number on accounts that are not yours.

Your ban is considered correct and will not be removed ever.

I understand this was against the Terms of Service

And that's all there's too it, you broke the rules that were there for just this reason.
Valve's like "hey don't do that" and you're like "But I will, lolol hey wait i'm banned help! i am innocent!"
ban is permanent.

Yeah, thanks for the copy-paste from the Steam FAQ, I hadn’t seen it… like, ever.
I know what a VAC ban is, I just wanted to see if humans can still read context apparently not.
Sharing Steam Guard ≠ cheating, but sure, keep pretending you’re GabeN’s personal lawyer.

The funny part is that some of you act like Valve’s internal staff, when all you do is repeat the same three sentences under every thread.
You don’t know my account, you don’t know the situation all you see is “VAC ban” and jump straight into judgment mode.

I’ve been on Steam longer than most of these “rule experts” have had facial hair. Mistakes happen, systems aren’t perfect, and neither are people.
So maybe next time, before preaching the holy VAC gospel, try reading what someone actually wrote.

Anyway, thanks for your input I’ll save it next to the 2 000 other identical comments from self-appointed community moderators.
Have a great day

"Hello Steam Support,"

If your so knowledgeable then why address steam support in a user only forum ?

You said you read the FAQs, if you did then why ask for something that you know already what the answer is, especially to fellow users who can’t do anything to begin with. Kinda weird that you choose to insult us “self-appointed community moderators” while contradicting yourself in the process.

1. This is a user forum
2. No VALVe here
3. 8 year old VAC bans are permanent
4. Posting here doesn't remove any bans

Steam does not remove a ban from a purchased account
