VAC status: ban(s) on record | ?

Captain Chirac · 04-06-2011, 01:17 PM

Wouldn't it be better if it were like this:

VAC status : ban(s) on record | ?

(these would be underlined only when hovering the mouse over)

Clicking "VAC status" would bring you to the actual "What is VAC?" help page (http://steamcommunity.com/actions/WhatIsVAC), and the interrogation mark would show the specific game where the user got banned.

I keep getting fooled when clicking "?", thinking I'll see the details about that one specific VAC ban rather than the "What is VAC?" page.

I think they should list the engine/s you are banned from. They tell the banned person so why not let everyone know.

good idea

HotLeadExpress · 04-07-2011, 04:16 PM

I agree! And before someone starts defending the whole issue of "name and shame" I have to say the person hacking, aimbotting, wallhacking, boosting, whatever, accepted the risks of what happens if they get caught! So dear STEAM we want to see people that got caught, and what they have been banned from!

Sounds like a pretty good idea. And no, it wouldn't really be different from it is right now, the "name and shame" thing, as the profile page already shows publicly whether the person is banned.

you already know they are a cheat, what difference does it make?

Sounds likes they should make a "Page of Shame".

List of all peoples who were banned for hacking.
Then we can all laugh and point at them.

Oh, And i do like this Idea also.

It would help cut down on people saying "Why was a Banned?" complainers.
Now, will it fully stop, hell no.
There will always be people saying "I didn't hack" but we've heard it all soo many times, no body will believe them.
