PLEASE READ THIS, THIS IS IMPORTANT.

PLEASE READ THIS!
My account has been VAC banned. I dont know what happend, I have no hacks, no nothing on my computer, I went to play on a server, but then I got a message saying That I have been VAC banned. Please please, add my second account *Link Coming Soon*. I will try to find out what the fuck happend.
 :'( :'( :'( :'(

Edit: I found out what happend.

Ok, so it was not the hacked account, BUT it was CCleaner. I have done some research, and have found out, that many players have been banned for using CCleaner. So I have sent an appeal to steam, and hopefully it will get resolved.

Edit: I found out what happend.

I had a 5 Year old account by the name of "SpectacularSapper" (I dont know what the name is now), happend. This account was my old main account, Untill it got hacked. I believe he got banned by steam. So they traced my IP back to this account, and then this account got banned.

I will be making a New account and a new email. I guess this is the end of Nationn :(

My new account:
...

That isn't how VAC works to my knowledge. I have been on the forums regarding questions on VAC system and how it works. Certain programs running in the background can trigger the VAC system such as: Hacks, and software not meant for hacking(however rare). AS far as my knowledge goes, Steams's VAC system doesn't trace IP's to find alt accounts. One reason is loss of revenue, 2. being they would have complaints of "siblings" being punished for other family members actions. You should contact steam support regarding the incident and see what more information they can give you. VAC bans do get lifted if steam sees they were made in error.

You should also look at your account history.

Regarding this, it reminded me of this:

"Will I be punished for any cheating or fraud conducted by other users while playing my games?

Your Family Library Sharing privileges may be revoked and your account may also be VAC banned if your library is used by others to conduct cheating or fraud. Additionally, VAC-banned games cannot be shared. We recommend you only authorize familiar computers you know to be secure. And as always, never give your password to anyone."

Not sure if this applies to you.
I don't bite, so feel free to message me if anything.
