Unfair Cooldown After Reporting Cheater – Match Was Cancelled
I recently played a competitive match where a cheater ended up on my team. I reported them multiple times during the game, and after the match, they received a VAC ban. The match was later cancelled because of this.

Despite doing nothing wrong – I didn’t leave the game, go AFK, or grief – I received a 20-hour cooldown.

I believe this is unfair, as I played the match normally and even helped the system by reporting the cheater.

Has anyone else experienced something like this? Is there a way to appeal or fix this issue?

Thanks in advance.

Counter-Strike cooldowns and bans are non-negotiable and cannot be removed or reduced by Steam Support.

Posting here does nothing.

Your account was given a cooldown because you qued with questionable players. All you can do is wait for it it to expire. I'll never understand why you guys post here instead of spending five seconds on Google to find the info.

I was banned for no reason. Why should I have to wait? I even tried to vote him out, but they wouldn't let me. I reported him multiple times. Why is the person who reported him banned when so many people using cheats can play without any problems?

two people gave you links to the global cooldown. Go and read it

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.

The question you should really be asking yourself is why are you trying to appeal a cooldown or debate it, when Steam Support can't even remove It or reduce it?

These forums are user-based, totally. This means that there is no one here but other Steam users just like yourself. So what exactly would you like anyone here to do?



I mean you're sitting here asking someone to help you and you're not even reading the information that has been given to you - twice.

Even if there was do you think they'll unban you before the 20 hours are up?
