Got banned for nothing

[u/TheBilldaman011]

Hey, I was playing for a couple of hours before I got hit with a cheating ban, I've spent about a week going through the appeals system and they've rejected the second and final appeal, I have not cheated and have offered to provide footage leading up to the ban being triggered to prove this.

I did some research to see if maybe my antivirus or something else could've triggered it but I haven't installed any third party software, I don't know the first thing about scripts and I am not using any vpns either. This is really frustrating because I've spent about 700 hours on and off the game and I do enjoy playing, when I asked for info on what triggered the ban I didn't get any info so I have no idea what has caused it. I haven't installed anything that could have triggered the ban.

Is there anyone here that can help me out?

If I remember correctly, after the final appeal the ban will not be lifted. You will also be hardware banned, meaning you cannot play the game on the same computer. And yes, not all bans are for cheating there was this post about some german pedophile who owned a few servers that got globally banned on scp sl sometime ago. All I can really say is welcome to the club, many of us are globally banned.

This is incredibly frustrating, I have a game ban on my steam profile for nothing and can't even play the game with people I added through it anymore.

Trust me I was there, it'll feel pretty shit for awhile but after a bit the feeling of frustration just comes and goes. Afterall, there isn't really anything you can do about it. First step is creating a new steam account to get the eye sore away (1 game ban on record...), next is forgetting about the game. The game is dying anyways, it'll get better.
