Cheaters, Abusive Admins, New Cheats, and Cheat Websites

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 your good intentions by reporting individual players suspected of cheating, however, these reports are discarded.

More information on the Valve Anti-Cheat System (VAC): http://support.steampowered.com/cgi-bin/steampowered.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=370

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.

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.
