Nah, the clients could rejoin straight away without needing to reboot steam
or anything. VAC is enabled on our servers, so if they would be VAC banned
they wouldn't be able to rejoin. And to be honest I don't think any of them
would use illegal accounts.

guilty consciences perhaps :P

I'm not hearing anything like this on my servers though.

I've seen groups of players get this at intervals, just mostly coincidence I

think although I did take the time to extract and plot these from my server 
logs once and there was at least one time (a year ago or so) when I saw a 
lot of players getting it regardless of their ticket age - Valve fixed 
something then.

I would suspect that IF there was suddenly a group of players that were 
getting kicked with a real piracy notice that it would indicate that VAC was

doing its job.
