Well.. it's more than that, DJ. You have to put the SteamID into the search box. Needless to say you are, indeed, VAC banned.

It comes up as follows:



GG.

Thats for Call of Duty Black Ops! Everyone is getting banned from that shit because everyone is reporting people and steam is banning everyone!

Watch... I'll join with the steamid, once I get it started up again. You are so shallow minded Mikey, again. Know DON'T KNOW THE WHOLE picture/senario! Your just made of random assumptions.

I played the game for about a month, and all of a sudden Black Ops got banned (everything else works). People are so fickle with other people, who do better then them. So fickle, that they report people who don't deserve it. I contacted steam about it, and they told me it was a done deal. So I can't play Black Ops multiplayer anymore. Never really wanted to anyways, that game is really full of hackers and hell. If I get a back hand because they are trying to ban everyone they come intact with. Then the game isn't for me, and thats obvious.

You can ask anyone who plays that game (black ops), that game is full of shit (PC=Hacker Problem). I played it on my cousin's playstation 3 and there seems to be some hackers but not as many or not quite as possible. Console systems are harder to get hacks. Not only that, a lot of people would rather not have their whole system blocked from the company.

Please do your research again Mikey and wait till I log onto my account. Yes, Black Ops was banned but it was for upserd reasons. One even I can't answer.

Btw...check the bottom of my page, I put a response on recommendations towards black ops.

One more thing...I have two more accounts without black ops on them, and they were never banned. Try the account I'm playing with now, and if need be. I will give you the other one and you can do research on that. Both of those aren't VACbanned in anyway and they don't have Black Ops on it.

This is taken directly from steams website. (article in reference: https://support.steampowered.com/kb_...7849-Radz-6869)

What is VAC?

If a user connects to a VAC-Secured server from a computer with identifiable cheats installed, the VAC system will ban the user from playing on VAC-Secured servers in the future.

While server admins may choose to ban specific players, server admins cannot VAC ban players. The VAC system is automated - contacting Steam Support to report cheaters is not necessary, nor will Steam Support act on any information provided.

The VAC system reliably detects cheats using their cheat signatures. Any third-party modification to a game designed to give one player an advantage over another is classified as a cheat or hack and will trigger a VAC ban. This includes modifications to a game's core executable files and dynamic link libraries.

The following will not trigger a VAC ban:

-Using chat programs like X-Fire
-System hardware configurations
-Updated system drivers, such as video card drivers

Use only trusted machines to play on VAC-Secured servers - if you are not sure whether or not the machine you are using to connect to Steam may have cheats installed, do not play on VAC-Secured servers.

Use caution when installing any game modifications, such as scripts or custom skins. Only download custom content from trusted sources. Hackers sometimes maliciously disguise their cheats to cause others to get banned.

What this means for everyone is that it scans your computer for cheats, illegal third-party programs, or modifications to a game (mods to a game's core, for instance), and bans players who use them permanently.

What this means for you is that you had illegal third-party programs, cheats, or something that provides an unfair advantage over another. VAC bans are across all VAC enabled games, and VAC will ban you permanently, without compromise, and without the ability to appeal for said ban being lifted. Only MWF2 pertains only to MWF2- not Black Ops. Your VAC ban on Black Ops transfers to every game on that account.

What that means for us is "Forgot Password" means "Yeah, that account is VAC banned and I'm trying to use lengthy posts and crappy excuses to avoid that ban transferring to other accounts."

We've banned people before on IBIS for cheating, or utilizing hacks on past accounts. I don't see you as an exception to this precedent.

EDIT-

Additionally this means that no matter how many people "report" you, unless the VAC system catches you red handed, you won't be banned. It's truly as simple as that.

I guess you forgot this as well.. I altered my configuration, and even a site said, that doing so might get you banned. I lowered my graphics lower then what the game allowed and I got banned for it. So your assumptions, are again not justifiable.

I did alter the console settings, by tweaking graphics lower then what was registured/allowed by steam (I assume). Nothing less, nothing more. My computer is good enough to run CSS, with console tweaks, but even Black Ops gave me a problem. I will except that and again. If a game is willing to ban me for reasons that have no real grounds, and I'm playing legit. SO be it, the game wasn't worth playing anyways.

Btw... Black Ops vacban, is a Black Ops only ban. Why or how should I know?? Because, ITS BANNED. -_-
All the other games are playable and steam hasn't bothered me anymore, with the whole ordeal.

So wait, is this thread about Deathrows VAC ban or Mikeys abuse?

I don't get it.

[Toffee]

I just want to kind of play devil's advocate here, as some information that has been presented had been false, and VAC does not have the cleanest record. I'm not here to offend, defend, or anger anyone. I just want there to be a clear understanding about VAC.

Firstly, OMGBEARS.

Your VAC ban on Black Ops transfers to every game on that account.

This is incorrect. VAC bans by game engine, which is why people who are banned in 1.6 can still play in VAC secured Source servers, and vice-versa. Bans in MW2 only affect MW2. This information is taken directly from the page you linked, just a little further down the page, under the header VAC Enabled Games.

Secondly, VAC is not infallible. It is certainly an effective tool and works almost all of the time, but let's not forget about the whole MW2 debacle where 12000 people had their VAC bans overturned.

Story here, from Kotaku

For those who don't want to read that, there was a conflict between an updated .dll and the disc-based .dll, which caused the mass banning.

This is also how people get banned in MW2 and blackops when trying to alter their configurations, such as widescreen, console, etc. They require the alteration of .dll files.



There are also 3 other incidents of false-positives, all of which had their VAC bans reversed.

On release, VAC was banning for faulty memory.

VAC was banning for running VAC-secured games through CEDEGA, which some of you may know as WineX, on Linux platforms.

A server side glitch in 2004.


There are also reports of incorrect detections, of which only 1 incident had bans reversed. These programs would be classified as benign cheats, as they have no real effect on multiplayer.

HLamp, which allowed you to manipulate your Winamp client through the game. This was reveresed.

Running x-spectate. This was changed from a ban to a kick, but no bans from this have been reversed.

Half-Life single player mods Paranoia and Half-Life FX. These still trigger a ban.

sXe Injected, which was supposed to be an anti-cheat engine for CS. No longer triggers a ban, no bans reversed.


So, while a VAC ban should certainly throw up warning flags, I hope you realize that it's not a flawless system and that you take pause before angrily throwing accusations left and right.

I'm not defending Deathrowe, and I hope none of you take offense. This is merely an attempt to shed some light on the subject.

First most people with that many accounts do so because they Hack.

Secondly let me guess one of your other accounts is
