Article ID: 8830-EOBN-8013 FAQ ID: 58 Updated: May 20th, 2008 The content of this page is moderated by both Steam Support and the Steam user community - any links to outside sites should be treated with caution. Steam Support will not request your Steam account password for any reason, nor will you ever be asked to enter your Steam account password into a website form. Important:
Please do not publicly post SteamIDs, Cheats or links to Cheater Websites on the forums.
How do I report a cheater?It is not necessary to report cheaters playing on VAC-Secured servers - the VAC system will detect and ban these individuals. We appreciate the intentions by reporting individual players suspected of cheating, however unsolicited reports of cheaters will be discarded. More information on the Valve Anti-Cheat System (VAC):If you are playing on an unsecured server, you may wish to report cheating to a server administrator - Steam Support cannot ban players for activities on unsecured servers.
How do I report an abusive admin?If you encounter an abusive admin, please keep in mind that you have the option to use other servers at your discretion. If you believe an admin may have altered your game settings (this is referred to as "admin slowhacking"), please see the link below: Admin SlowhackingGame Settings Have Suddenly Been Changed (Admin Slowhacking)
How do I report a new cheat?If you know of a new cheat, especially private cheats (ones that aren't on a public website), and can provide the links or the actual binaries, please visit the SteamPowered Forums and send a private message to one of the forum moderators to ensure the information is passed along to the VAC development team.
