x-pl0it, you're our savior. thanks for your efforts.

Mensch Mario, bist ja immer noch aktiv in der Gruppe. Probz an dich!
Ich persönlich denke, dass wenn du das wirklich durchziehen würdest mit Seattle, du dort freundlich abgewiesen wirst. Dein Kontakt aus Deutschland war eine One in the million - Chance und hast einfach mega Glück gehabt. Bei deinem Inv-Wert auch überaus erfreulich, dass dies passiert ist.
Auch wenn nun im vorletzten Patch einige Bans wieder aufgehoben wurden bzgl. eines neuen Automatisierungs-Ban-Fehlers, glaube ich nicht, dass bei unseren Bans noch gerüttelt wird. Ich lasse mich aber gerne mit meinen 1% Hoffnung vom Gegenteil überzeugen. ;)

2024/2025 i was very busy with my projects in rl, but in 2026 I should have more time to do that, because I also want to visit Seattle now since I explored the area around valve when we did a thread here about to visit valve

thank you x-ploit, I wish I had enough financial independence to be able to do that too, you don't realize how important your efforts are for me.

@THE SHROCK I just know 2 ppl which where unbanned: An brazilian football player (Jesus and he has ~2 Mio X follower) and me. Im from germany and I want to visit US. Seattle is nice, maybe i will go there. But this could be in late 2026 (MAYBE) so of course I would visit Valve and talk to them. If I go to valve I also would prepare an presentation so I can show evidence

hi, theres a new failure of the ai, now Q + turn(left/right) causes a ban, same as with the myaw fast dpi rotate
hopes thye fix all of their errors and finally unban the accounts that are guilty free just because of a their ♥♥♥♥ anticheat
hopes still are up

They released an update acknowledging the error of the erroneous bans and stating that they have removed them. We are no longer in the conversation because it was so much time ago as i see

I mean I got banned for high dpi I'm assuming, I didn't hear of any others getting their bans lifted for the high dpi spinning

Reddit post with probable explanation of false positive bans caused by +turnleft/+turnright commands https://www.reddit.com/r/csgo/s/whclmRdkxb

yea i think the same, i just hope some of you guys can reach to the valve company in person and tell about us

im sure those people will get unbanned tbh. most of the high dpi people got unbanned but for some reason they just ignored people who got banned early on in the ban wave. they seem to be doing a better job unbanning people for their mistakes now but theyve just ignored us hoping nothing comes from it

Looks like VACnet now bans for just +turnleft, +turnright binds/commands which means there will be more false positives, maybe now valve will look what's going on instead of ignoring the problem for over 2+ years

I live in the US but am in Ohio, it's a 2 day drive to their headquarters, I'm scared to buy a ticket and take time off work to go to them only to be told to kick rocks, is there anyone here on the west coast?

You're the reason I have hope and keep going. I'm willing to do anything I can. Unfortunately, I'm from Spain, but I'm happy to help in any way I can. I wish some VacNet Worker see this or try to help us.

Hello everyone, I have attempted to contact the users in this group in writing. Unfortunately, without success. We could try contacting Valve again, but unfortunately, it's not possible through my personal contact in Germany, who had me checked and unbanned by the "VacNet guy", because the number of people is too high to go thru this contact. I've already tried writing to several people specifically, but I've always been rejected... Should we try contacting someone from Steam again? It would be such a huge advantage if we had someone dedicated and professional on site who could go to Valve in person and present our problem.

15k definitely is worth every try, this is so frustrating

@tdt tell me about it lol. i was really into cs investing before i got banned and my acc is worth like 15k. life changing money for me

i wont move on, if you all also do the complains im doing, it could happen something, we are +600 people. and for me, this update just made mi inventory going from 150€ to 300€ so im even more into it

i moved on, plus the admin lost loads of money from the latest update lol rip

i dont know what more could we do without having the money to take legal actions…

It's also very much malpractice as proven by xploit who had his account unbanned after taking legal action.

saw your reddit post TDT. the bias of from individuals who haven't gone through a false ban in the csgo/cs2 community have towards those who have been banned falsely and defend their innocence is demoralizing. i was unbanned almost 2 years ago at this point, but still check this group frequently hoping for any sort of resolution for the individuals who are still banned to this day. the fact that people who simply played the game normally could lose everything from a completely faulty and bugged automated anti-cheat, that i'm sure is still in use today (albeit with crucial bugs fixed i'm sure), while simultaneously providing no official outlet to have the ban reviewed by an actual human being is an atrociously bad business practice.

this new CS market swap made all my skins go up in value, sucks I can't sell them all man

I think early AI Overwatch system is totally WORNG. similar banned date that we have is proof.

its my 2 years ban birthday weee

almost my 2 year anniversary of being banned. god i hate this

Coming up to 2 years now...

Good on you TDT, really hope this works out you clearly deserve it. Crazy how many people still deny that our bans are false, they think of Valve as some heavenly organisation that couldn't possibly ever mess up. I'm sure some people here aren't being truthful but with myself being victim to this problem I know it's real and I give everyone here the benefit of the doubt. Crazy that Valve pretty much said since you can still play other games that the matter is resolved, how pathetic.

>TDT
I left a comment on that post and shared the information I had.
I’ve already given up, but I still can’t accept how unfairly this was handled.

His account was permanently game banned from playing Counter-Strike 2. Game bans in Counter-Strike 2 are issued when a player attempts to circumvent or interfere with game systems to the detriment of others. Detailed information on game bans can be found in our "I've been game banned" help article: . Game bans are permanent and cannot be removed by Steam Support. We do not disclose the reason for game bans because we do not want users to be able to circumvent our detection system.

M** still has access to his Steam account and has continued to purchase and play other games. He is only banned from all official, VAC-secured servers in Counter-Strike 2 and the in-game items in his inventory cannot be traded or transferred to another account.

We believe this resolves the matter, but please let us know if you have any questions.Regards,Valve Corporation

this is the response i got, now im trying to get further

i received an oficial response from valve by Washington State Attorney Generals Office, so all we can do right now is to help my reddit post to be seen, support it if you want a chance to be heared.

https://www.reddit.com/r/cs2/comments/1ocm4m2/i_filed_official_complaints_against_valve_steam/

good job bro. plz be our savior who will find a solution.

i wont give up neither, i contacted a lot of companies that bring helps to citizen against big companies as valve, and i will keep looking for some way to contact with them

honestly I don't wanna give up but Valve just ignore people who got false banned. so I'm quite frustrated...

i will never leave this group unless my false ban gets removed

you can give up n still be in this group tho

wow you guys still here. I almost give up but it seems you guys don't.

No mom valve

This is what I get for having a DPI switch for deep rock.

Yeah I see what you mean

yea but at least it wont say until u investigate about it, thats what i mean

Ban will stay no matter how long it will pass, even if it is invisible on your profile you will be still banned

yea at this point i only care that in 5 years it would dissapear from my profile so its fine i guess

it's been too long, might as well move on.

the Centro Europeo del Consumidor en España sent me an email redirecting my case to United States Embassy in Spain, lets see what do they say to me :b

yea, 100%

Well.... yea im certain valve is gonna keep us banned lol

hey hazard from your profile it looks like u have a substantial amount of money in cs, have u contacted a lawyer at all? looks like youre good for it

TDT waiting for news, I'm from spain too, i going to do the same

i did a request to El Centro Europeo del Consumidor en España.
that basically is a support centre that help people like me to be at least read by entities like Valve and make them provide a response, lets see what happens, im still with hope :(
