by cheaters since its release. In-game, cheating is often These
e, depending on settings.
Valve Software|Valve has implemented an anti-cheat
system called Valve Anti-Cheat (VAC). Cheating
Noobies on a VAC enabled server risk having their
account permanently banned from all VAC secured
servers.
With the first version of VAC, a ban took force almost
instantly after being detected, and the cheater had to wait
2 years to have the account unbanned. Since VAC's
second version, cheaters are not banned automatically.
Rather, they are banned according to a delayed banning
system, and bans are never lifted. Many cheats are still
not detected by VAC, and often the only effective anti-
cheat device is a human administrator watching an
online game.
