I'm sorry what?

There is also the factor that as of recently people show up almost daily with questions on why they were CheatPunch/VAC banned and if there is anything they can do to get unbanned. They always claim innocence, and so far in the end its always been the contrary. It also seems that a lot of people believe "hacks" are only god mode/aim bots/spawning items/etc and that their in game map/light applicator/overlay that shows people/animals don't fall into "hacks".

This one time my cat ran across the keyboard and signed me up to a cheat website SOMEHOW using my user name. It was so weird!
It then ran across again opening the confirmation email and following the link inside.
To my dismay it than ran across AGAIN and downloaded a hack and even worse entered my credit card details just by sheer chance!
Then it ran across again installing the cheat client and opened rust.
Plz my cat got mebannedfrom rust using facecheatpunch. Can you unban?

I understand why you guys automatically assume that he used hacks, but even if he was the most innocent player on earth, things could still look like they do.
I don't use hacks, but have been banned for them so many times which is why I always try and keep an open mind for these people, it's really annoying how, in this situation, you get so little support. And yes, my PC has been hacked before, the script kiddies installed hacks on my PC and got me banned on a non-steam game luckily, I also knew a lot of people and had a good rep so they understood the situation. With VAC protected games this cannot be the case.
You have next to no evidence that he ever touched hacks.
Edited:
As far as I know, the mutant cats have not been added to RUST yet, and they won't be as clever as you might think.
On a serious note - that is a clear excuse, some people have reasons as lolo clearly pointed out (thanks for the image). VAC bans can be lifted if a valid reason is given.
-
I don't need any more info on my steam getting hacked, i just need to know a way to get unbanned from rust
-
Ah thanks, i couldn't find anywhere to log out, this is my account
-
As people have said, contact steam support and provide them with as much evidence as possible, and then just hope for the best.

"Hello Matt,
Thank you for contacting Steam Support.
We apologize for the delay.
It appears as though the account may have been hijacked by another user."
Edited:
I can assure you i haven't used any hacks, my steam account got hacked and they played my games.
-
rebuy the game, man.
you already admitted you're sharing passwords and shit with friends (the reason you couldn't access an account on these forums.) that right there shows us that you have terrible ethic with security, and i have half a mind to send this information to valve just for the CHANCE that they reject your claim to have your game reinstated.
you're not going to learn a lesson if you get babied. as it stands i don't believe for a second that you got keylogged. i'm convinced that you a. hacked and think this is a way to save your rep on your account, or b. just have terrible security ethic as i highlighted before.
either way, your bad ethic led to you hacking, or someone else having a free outlet to hack. and you need to pay for that.
20 dollars and free registration for a new account is the cost. have a good day!
-
I never shared passwords? My friend logged into his facepunch account on my pc
-
I bet your "friend" used a cheat too. No way this guy is telling the truth, dunno why people are giving him the benefit of the doubt.
-
Also, IP traces show that it was from Ukraine, which is an entirely seperate country than mine

looks like your buddy is into some stupid cheating type shit, isn't he? this is just one example that i found.
i'd venture to guess that you're him, or that you both just enjoy getting an edge.
either way please quit rust.
-
I find it pretty incredible that you think people that develop cheats actually test them with their own accounts and software. Why wouldn't someone that enables liars, cheats and thieves for a living use software to let them lie, cheat and steal in order to test their stuff?
-
Not to flame, just giving my opinion...but these threads suck. If it indeed happened it sucks for OP but there are probably much better means to go through in getting info on ban reversals.
-
i wish the mods would lock these threads immediately.
-
Uh...what? This...isn't...your Facepunch account? Whose FP account is it that you're posting with?
If his account truly was haxxored, and that's being generous then it still doesn't matter. Steam won't unban it. It says right in their FAQs that your account is your responsibility. If someone "hacks" your account and gets you VAC banned, you're still VAC banned.
In a ridiculously small percentage of cases. I believe there's a site somewhere that tracks those statistics and it's a minute fraction of a single percent.
Regardless, in this case even if OP claims his account was hijacked, the ban still won't be lifted.
I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, that he was dumb enough to install a trojan, probably in the form of some promised game cheat. That's as far as I would go though. Otherwise, the whole story about his steam account being hijacked despite having steamguard enabled just falls to pieces.
That said, given the nature of VAC and it's tendency for time delayed VAC bans, I kind of doubt he was VAC banned from multiple games all in the timespan of a few days.
-
Sometimes they are just too curious and want to see how this ends.
Then they close it.
-
So, even though someone further up in the thread provided proof that Valve is willing to work with people that are mistakenly banned, you still insist that they don't do that?
-
What, now?
-
Sure you did, and im Morgan Freeman...
-
~snip~ Didn't see the activity thingy :P
-
If you'd scrolled down a couple more lines you'd see that this account has not been active since 2009...
-
Did not see that xD
-
Guarantee that your "friend" somehow got a hold of your password via key logger or watching you type it in. He then probably went home and had fun using as many different hacks as possible without a care in the world.
-
Yeah but i'm not VAC banned i'm FacePunch banned or whatever they call it
-
Cheatpunch.
-
Well, it would have helped if you told us that at the beginning D:
Contact facepunch with all the details I told you to contact steam with.
-
Your luck is with Garry and you're going to have to prove to him your innocence then, that's gonna' be a little tough.
-
If he has to go to Garry, well I think him being bought a new account by valve is more likely than him getting unbanned by Garry...
Garry must get so many messages, I often wonder if he has ever read one of my own posts. *hint garry, respond to this post :P*
-
That "proof" was concerning an actual false detection, which has been mentioned before is extremely rare. That doesn't have anything to do with a hijacked Steam account, as OP claimed his was.
Here are Steam's policies on "Someone hijacked my account and got me banned.":
https://support.steampowered.com/kb_...4044-QDHJ-5691
"Steam Support cannot remove the ban on your account
Regardless of who was using your account at the time it was banned, the use and security of your Steam account is your responsibility."
/story
You're replying to me and I was directly quoting/replying to Matt1337 who claimed he was VAC banned on his Steam account because someone hijacked it. Now, you're saying you were not VAC banned but Cheatpunch banned. How many Facepunch accounts do you have exactly?
-
That was in regards to people claiming that their brother/uncle/cousin was using their account and you know it. Valve, like any other company, does not deal in absolutes. If they did then they wouldn't bother to investigate bans to see if they're legit in the first place, they'd just respond with "Nope, you're banned, tough shit."
/Story (dunno wtf this means...but I'm a grown-up so I guess that's why.)
-
Can you please post the email you received from steam confirming your account was hacked and has now been restored.
I would like to see if there is anything in it that may help you.
It would also prove to these guys that you were actually hacked as it does happen even with steam guard.
With out the evidence these guy will continue to hassle this thread (and they have the right to do so without the evidence)
-
You're a retard
-
you can log out of anything, btw, just delete your cookies :)
-
You won't get many useful replies here, people too busy stroking Steam's cock.
-
That doesn't just apply to situations where someone claims their brother was using their account. That very much applies to situations where someone claims their account was hijacked. Furthermore, it still applies to situation where support verifies that your account actually was hijacked. They will help you get control of your account back...they still will not remove the VAC bans though. You can argue the point with me all you want but...you can't argue it with Steam support. Those are their policies which you don't seem to be entirely aware of. If you don't believe me you can google countless tales where users claimed they were hijacked, it was even verified they were and VAC bans still were not lifted.
Now, matt1337 claims he got multiple VAC bans and this happened in the span of a few days which also makes me doubt the veracity of his story due to the time delayed manner in which VAC bans commonly work.
If this happens to you the response you get from support basically will be "tough shit" in so many words. You can argue with me...but it won't work with Steam.
Again, if you read above and familiarize yourself with Steam's policies...it doesn't matter whether or not support confirmed that his account was hijacked. If he has talked with support about this issue already then he would already know because he would have been told the exact same thing already.
If matt1337 is looking for a useful reply, this is as useful as he is going to get. If he is looking for sympathy or empathy that's great but it won't solve his problem.
-
The way I see it with how many times his story has flipped he is trying to lie, but CheatPunch/VAC bans don't.
Either you hacked and are trying to cry your way out of it, or your friend did - either way it's your fault considering the amount of security that is on a steam account if properly managed (Not downloading keyloggers, watching emails for steam warning emails). Fact of the matter is, your post was made by an account that is registered with a hacking/botting website..and your evidence or "proof" that it was some guy having fun with your account is zero.
But this is just me ranting, this isn't the place for these threads, if it was a false-positive then post on the cheatpunch thread made by Garry, other than that your shit out of luck.

'hacked"
Mostly just end up by you giving your password to someone, or using the same password on a website.
"hacked" is such a common used word these days whilst it should be "stupidness"
-
Some of you guys are real shit heads. I was banned from modern warfare 2 back in the day because i got my account hacked, yes literally hacked a keylog of some kind and then they unbanned me because it was not my fault.
