The problem is Valve does not communicate well with the community on issues like these. The account used for the GSLT tokens is banned for 12 years if I'm reading it right. Tells me nothing as to why it was banned.
This GSLT system really needs massive improvements. I know there are people that abuse the system, but sweeping up innocent servers and people into massive ban waves of 12 years is excessive by anyone's definition. It truly is an unacceptable system especially since it can be very hard to get answers from Valve as to if something is ok or not. So as long as this system is in place then I will not play CSGO, or buy any future Valve games. Because if this is just going to turn into a massive control fest to feed microtransactions, then these games are not anything I want to be playing or running servers for. Valve would be better off just running the servers themselves.
