I just wanted to share my situation here because, honestly, it’s been over 10 years and not even one of my 10,000 attempts to get an answer ever got… well, any answer at all. So here I am, trying again — maybe someone from the community can at least tell me if there’s still any hope.

When I was around 12 years old (I’m 23 now), I got a VAC ban completely by accident. I was working on a small project using Cheat Engine, and like a genius kid, I forgot it running in the background. The moment I launched CS, boom — instant VAC ban.

I wasn’t cheating, I wasn’t trying to get an advantage, I literally just had Cheat Engine open in the taskbar. I didn’t even know English back then, so I had no idea how to explain myself or appeal properly.

Fast forward more than a decade later:
– still banned,
– still no replies,
– still hoping someone, somewhere, someday will look at this case.

I invested money into that account, and honestly I’d love to be able to play on it again. I know VAC bans are usually permanent, but considering it was a childhood mistake, I figured I’d try one more time — maybe the 10,001st message is the lucky one.

If anyone has advice, ideas, or has been through something similar, feel free to let me know. Thanks for reading!
