Keep in mind the ban is not removed, it just doesn't show on the profile. The user will still be banned. #5 Kayhan View Profile View Posts 10 Aug, 2018 @ 1:19pm

The VAC ban is permanent, it will just stop showing on your profile to others at 7 years. However, I think there's a way to still see it by others after 7 years by using code. #7 Mikasa Ackerman View Profile View Posts 10 Aug, 2018 @ 1:59pm

i think its fair to asume after 7 years the person learned their lesson and no longer mark them as a dirty cheater on their profile #8 Spawn of Totoro View Profile View Posts 10 Aug, 2018 @ 2:03pm

That is quite debatable and depends on one's pont of view, to be honest.Personaly, as long as the user is still banned, I don't care if it is shown on their profile or not. #9 ploppo View Profile View Posts 10 Aug, 2018 @ 2:07pm Spookily, some games with the VAC thing are single-player too.I would never think about that when cheating on a single-player game.I have played ARK solo. Ark has built-in cheats anyway; however, if I used a game trainer, I might have been VAC banned for cheating at single-player.You have to be careful these days.Sniper Elite: Nazi Zombie Army is a worrying addition to VAC - because it isn't even a multi-player game - I don't think there is any PVP:https://store.steampowered.com/app/227100/Sniper_Elite_Nazi_Zombie_Army/It would be harsh to be VAC banned from that. #10 MDT紫 | Nero View Profile View Posts 10 Aug, 2018 @ 2:15pm

I think it's totally normal that the VAC is permanent in game , and i don't mind that at all , i just don't understand why it has to show on our profile for so long .. or why does it appear on your profile in the first place. #11 LowJack_VA1 View Profile View Posts 10 Aug, 2018 @ 2:16pm

That game has co-op in it, which is probably why its VAC controlled. #12 LowJack_VA1 View Profile View Posts 10 Aug, 2018 @ 2:18pm

Showing the VAC bans are part of the punishment. #13 MDT紫 | Nero View Profile View Posts 10 Aug, 2018 @ 2:20pm
