4559 days ago I got vac banned
I just noticed my account has a VAC ban from about 12 years ago (4559 days).
I genuinely don’t remember the game or ever cheating, and I never really played the usual VAC titles back then.

From what I understand now, VAC bans can’t be appealed or removed unless Valve reverses them automatically for false positives, which clearly didn’t happen here.

I’m not trying to dispute it — just posting for clarity and to confirm there’s nothing that can be done after this much time.

VAC bans aren't always for cheating - some old COD games for instance can see users banned for simple mods like even external FOV changers.

Not removed because the ban wasn't false.

Don't worry about these heads from this universe, each of them has some bindings and writes the same thing all the time, there's no point in putting anything here because half of them are bots or have blocky heads, best regards

I agree with you, when the thread starters write the same thing all the time it’s like all of the “heads” feel compelled to respond the same way. If only someone would start a thread that actually is different then maybe the “heads” would have something different to say

only notice the 4559 day old vacban now. Makes one wonder if you bought the account or why you suddenly care about the ban, when you posted in 2022 and 2024. Now vacbans are for cheating and yours have already been verified, so its 100% correct and permanent. And NO, the ban will not be lifted, so that you can sell/move/trade/gift those items of yours, you get to keep those items forever on this account
