- We, the people of the Steam Community, feel that the disadvantages of Valve Anti-Cheat (VAC) bans whilst an account was hijacked outweigh the advantages. A ban for events which happened outside of the rightful owner's control, without the opportunity to take steps against future occurrences, is counter-productive. We believe the following changes need to be made in order to improve VAC to be more useful.
  - 1. Each hijacked account will receive one ban removal per 12 month period, with a maximum of 3 ban removals per account.
  - 2. In order to become unbanned, the account owner must change their password, use the Steam Mobile Guard authenticator for 14 days, and reset account accessibility on other computers and devices.
  We, the people, ask this to help prevent good people from getting an irreversible bad reputation. Steam is an amazing thing, and handicapping it with permanent, and undeserved bans, is not in the best interests of Valve, or the people using it.
  Disclaimer: This is not in any way trying to justify or allow hackers to get away with what they do. Hacking is not moral, and should not be taken lightly. What this is doing, is trying to get a limited number of unbans for people to make necessary changes, and secure their accounts.
