I remember when I was first VAC banned because I actually hacked. 

Fucking hate my 14 year old self for being so ignorant.

Hope this teaches you a lesson. Don't cheat otherwise Gaben will strike you down.

Yeah, it's not worth the permanent reminder on your profile. I regret my VAC everyday

This is partly true since you can't always believe that someone said they didn't cheat. I know I cheated and I got rightfully banned, but there have been many cases where Valve has accidentally flagged users and the reverting them. Skittlez probably did cheat, there's no way to tell if he actually did cheat or not.

I've seen people get banned for having certain programs open. Some people who are developers have custom scripts running on their PC's that can trigger a ban. VAC is a well coded anti cheat so the chances of a false ban are pretty slim to none.

From my understanding, VAC does may not ban at the time of cheating, that a cheat could have happened anytime before.

 

I guess I could see Vac tagging someone over something that was not intentional, but proving the intentions is hard. For players, the best is to make sure we do not have anything running that would be looked at wrong. I always thought if programs are injected into steam games, this is what Vac looks at.

I mean dude i believe what skittles says but I understand VAC is pretty advanced in spotting hackers although it was designed a while ago so I don't really know...

I have a VAC ban and I provided proof that I didn't hack on the game nor did I own it. If you can prove that you truly didn't hack then I am sure some would like to see that. Other then that, it's not very smart to post this kind of topic in GFL for the sake of users not fond of hackers.
