    Hey there, I'd like to ask how did you figure out that I'm VAC BAN, it's not on my Steam profile. I had little accident which can explain this thread on r/GlobalOffensive http://www.reddit.com/r/GlobalOffen..._banned_from_mm_by_overwatchers_for_griefing/ . TL;DR: I was jerk in MatchMaking in CS:GO, I ruined game for other players with flashing them, I wasn't cheating (but you hear that here a lot of times, so let's just skip it), well, I got a lot of reports which resulted in 34 days MatchMaking BAN for minorly disruptive behavior (http://i.imgur.com/PLSxKnd.jpg).

    But I don't know why, somehow CS:GO servers (casual ones, Demoliton, Arms race and etc.) counts me as VAC banned (http://i.imgur.com/yqg0uyO.jpg). I don't understand where is the problem. I have nothing againts that Matchmaking BAN, I deserved it and I accept it.

    Since you are SteamRep and such a case might have already happen here, I'd like to ask if someone can explain this situation to me, is it some kind of preventive VAC BAN while they are checking me or did someone abused it's power because I angried them with my griefing? I have totally no idea, so thanks for all replies even for the ones that will be laughing at me.

    Have a nice day

    Thanks for the fast reply, I know that you are not handling VAC bans and you can't do anything with them, my question is about this http://steamrep.com/profiles/76561198043940518. I see that you put VAC ban on my profile, even it's not on my Steam profile, so my question is about, how did you figure out, that i might be VAC banned, even xml file from my profile says that I'm not VAC banned. So it's pretty strange.

    I do not speak for SteamRep, but if you check your profile out with Steam's API for GetPlayerBans it shows the following:

    I'd imagine you should ask Steam about it any further.

    Thanks, that's the answer I was looking for. I already contacted Steam but we all know how they support works. Right now I have to wait 2 weeks for bots answer, then I will reply him and someone will finally read it. :)
