What’s the difference between a VAC ban and being banned by a server admin?
VAC bans are permanent and cannot be reversed. They only affect secured servers and so you can continue playing on “unsecured” servers.
I’m really sorry, I won’t do it again, please can I be unbanned?
No – please re-read the other information provided on VAC bans
But it wasnt my fault, my little bro must have done it
There are NO excuses – your account is your responsibility!

IIRC, since the introduction of VAC2 in 2004, VAC bans have been permanent rather than lasting 1 year.
