Bien!
Every VAC ban is subject to dispute and anyone who takes the time to dispute it usually wins a reprieve. If you're referring to the poor bastards who tried to cheat on blackops and suddenly realized they were blocked from every game that uses that engine... they deserve it. I have yet to see anyone with a repeatable, verifiable unwarranted VAC ban.
Unfortunately, you are quite wrong. From their support site here:
* Steam Support cannot remove the ban on your account
* The details of the ban will not be provided.
Steam Support will not disclose the cheats that were detected running on your system or the date and time the infraction took place. Any requests for this information will be ignored.
VAC may not ban you immediately - the cheating violation may have occurred days or even weeks before the ban is apparent on your account.
It would be nice if Steam was as friendly as you say, but that doesn't appear to be the case according to their own site. It would be most unfortunate if anybody was lulled into false sense of security by your post and effectively lost multiplayer ability in a costly game.
