Anyone got VAC banned by using cheats?

Never been banned but I'm pretty careful when I RH.

If you cheat over a long period of time you will almost certainly get banned. With a private cheat you can avoid the vast majority of detections and probably go undetected for years, but you never know when Valve will push a new update that you could not predict. For example, a while after CSGO was released, they added the "untrusted" bans which are triggered by a server side anti-cheat that can detect certain features. It was impossible to predict that Valve would implement this, so even many people who used private cheats got banned for certain detectable features which were totally undetected before. I personally have not been VAC banned because I've only ever used cheats to experiment and learn about them over a short period of time, but I know other people who have used cheats for years, and almost all of them got banned at some point.

yes,, so much money wasted just because i wanted to pull off nutty bhops plays in competitive

wasn't worth it whatsoever,, hundreds of dollars down the drain for a fucking fps game

in other words,, don't cheat unless you wanna purposely get vac banned,, lol

Well, the number one rule when it comes to things like this is to not risk more than you can afford to lose. Sorry for your loss of money but hopefully you learned from the experience. You can always use a secondary account to cheat on in order to ensure that your main account is not at risk.

I wasn't banned but someone in our group got caught and did not disclose it to us and uses it in comp. In the end, he was VAC banned and all of us who were in the usual party got our ranks brought down like we're starting all over again.

Never use cheats
Sometime you will get caught even with legit

Don't use =D best advice

I've been interested in seeing if non-compiled AHK scripts are bannable. Not talking about the ones that people actually hijack processes with/change signatures, etc. Just a simple mouse movement, key-pressing script.

i get banned and i dont use cheats xD i playing in a friend house and maybe he has cheats

have not yet to get VAC banned, just untrusted and overwatch bans, VAC is pretty much useless in its current state
