This is a multi-part message in MIME format. -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] would just like to make my organisations voice heard here. Although we really appreciate the support we get from the community we also want to stress that Steambans is NOTHING like VAC and it can really NOT be compared for various of reasons that really already have been stressed by people replying:
VAC detect, steambans does not. VAC delay bans, steambans does not. When your VAC banned you cannot even enter a server, steambans doesn't have that option and therefore the same player can be banned multiple times which will create the illusion its more effective compared to VAC, which it is not since VAC banned people will never even enter the server for you to see him being banned. VAC is doing a good job because they are the only ones that protect so many servers, so they are constantly attacked, hacked and otherwhise prevented in doing their job. so they have MY FULL RESPECT. VAC due to their high amount of servers does have a lot more to look out for in terms of false positives etc, so they need to be absolutely sure before banning, therefore less people will be banned. Steambans does rely on admins, and not detection, and although people tend to trust detections more, I think that's simply a matter of opinion because no system is 100% free of false positives. Steambans is in this for the same reason VAC and VALVE is, and we work together however VALVE has the tougher job, and in my opinion they are solving it the best they can.
