A little less than 4 years ago I got VAC banned from Chivalry: Medieval Warfare because I had Cheat Engine running in the background. Didn't affect the game, I don't even think it can affect a multiplayer server. If you're wondering why I had it, I use it to speed up travel time in games by binding the numpad to various speeds.
Anyway, it sucked at the time but since it's only for Chivalry I don't really care. But what bothers me is this gaping "VAC BANNED 1000 DAYS AGO" sticker on my profile, almost like being on a love offender registry. I think it makes people think less of me, and since I have thousands of dollars of games that I can't move on this account and I've never been banned for anything else, that really bothers me. I'm wondering if there's any way to get that removed, or if Support will just send me that same automated message "WE CANNOT LIFT VAC BANS" (which is a lie because they do, frequently).
Thanks in advance!
Edit: Welp, thanks for all your help guys. It looks like Steam won't just remove the sticker as I'd like them to, but they could unban me and have done so to other users in my scenario. Sadly they probably won't read the message or check the logs and will most likely send me that automated message (which isn't true at all lol).
