12am said:Well I got an official response from a valve represenative this afternoon. Apparently somehow my account got hijacked and they disabled it to prevent it from getting permanently banned. They sent me a replacement account password and said it would be reactivated once I entered the password. Good news to hear that this is resolved and that they weren't accusing me of cheating... but it is troubling to know it got hijacked. Odd thing is I do weekly virus/worm/trojan scans aswell as spyware malware scans... and I havn't found any of the above in months.. oh well.. situation resolved.
apu318 said:All servers do if your files differ is disconnect you. There was another thread like this. The only way that you would get banned is if you were cheating, sharing your account or breaking any other TOS. It is never an accident.
apu318 said:You dont make any sense... I said nothing to put words in your mouth. I never said it was a conspiricy... why don't you read my post instead of being a biligerant person that needs to let their steam out elsewhere, and read my posts. (No steam pun intended. )
There was some reason that set the flag to disable his account, and that flag was that it was hijacked. Obviously some random account would not be disabled for no reason, because there is no reason to even consider that specific account. Therefore it was not an accident. With your logic, all normal accounts would be disabled because it was an accident since there is no variation between accounts, other than contact info, ect.
They will let you back on if you contact them proving it is your account because they have verified the actual user.
If you want to argue, go join a debate team. We don't want biligerant, snappy responses here. Just discussion.

apu318 said:I hate Valve as much as you, but your conspiricy theory is rediculous. This isnt the US gov't we're talking about.

No it's not the US Gov't, and I didn't say there was any conspiracy...that is what YOU said. Don't put words in my mouth.
I said they lied, and they did. The evidence is right there. If the account was jacked, they wouldn't hesitate to lock it down, and they wouldn't let anybody back on.
If you doubt this, go on there and try jacking a few IP's on one account and see for yourself if they let you back on. Tell them "It wasn't me" and see if they believe you.
Servers get hosed all the time, and the people running them will make you think that never happens. They lie all the time about it. That's nothing new.
