My Steam account has been disabled for no aperent reason!
21 replies, posted
Yeah, so today 3/3/2011, I tried logging in to my account and it says it is disabled, at first I thought I typed the password wrong, but it seemed everything was okay. After a few unlucky shots at it, I checked my email and I haven't received anything from Steam, so I checked the steam support and tried opening a ticked, but it requiers an account, which is disabled, so I can't do anything.
Now if you're going to ask, no I didn't do anything illegal, all my games were bought and I still have my CD of Counter-Strike Source + HL2DM and DoDS. Everything was great yesterday, I played some L4D2 with my friends and all.
The games I own:
CSS + HL2DM, DoDS
Orange Box
L4D2
FlatOut
TFC
Humle Indie Bundle
And that's about it, what should I do? I really don't want to loose all those games, is there an email I can try to find out the reason of my ban? PLEASE HELP!

Sucks man
Steam support uses a different account then the one for steam login.
Contact Steam support and find out the cause. There is nothing else you can do about it.

Thanks.
I'll try that, I hope they aren't fucking with me.
If there was no cheating involved, it was most likely somebody has hi-jacked your account, and Valve disabled it to stop any damage.
That happened to me, anyway.

Well, I didn't do anything reckless, log in, play some games, log out.
Look on the bright side. You didn't lose that much.
It's alot in my country, everything is fucking expensive here.
Well, I've sent them a ticket, hope this will turn out okay.

Wait dude this is in the wrong section according to the rules
Did someone gift you anything prior to it being disabled?
Or did you purchase something recently either?
Or contact Valve support
You didn't happen to post anything related to your account on accidence did you?
For example, if you posted your email, account name, or a steam receipt/confirmation number, that is all ways your account can be at risk.
For example, I posted a picture of me preordering Portal 2 that had my confirmation number on it, and that put my account at risk.
Did somebody gave you that key for the Humle Indie Bundle ?

Yeah, I was gifted the Humble Indie Bundle by NintendoGuy or whatever his name is.
But that was like, 3-4 months ago.

Shit I think 2-3 people gifted me one. :smithicide:
So, I've seen that you can't be gifted by people you don't know, but how do they know I don't know NintendoGuy? They still haven't replied to my ticket.

Oh, and the Humble Indie Bundle, it was a key, not a gift through Steam, that makes it more confusing.
People can just report that you used their key without authorization and they'll lock your account down.
Sorry to hear you are having problems daumantas100 darn frustrating bud anyways after reading about your problem i thought ide try and help if i could theres a lot of games there and it would be a sham if you lost that lot anyways heres some help and i wish you the best of luck bud.

[b]Heres another site for you to check out again might help[/b] [url]http://www.valvesoftware.com/contact/[/url]
OK so I'm not sure how far you have got or what you have done, but i found a real nice tutorial from YouTube [b][url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jP06O-ci07w]How to contact steam support [/url][/b] this was really nice and i thought might give you a bit more direction and HOPE read the posts as well they might be of help also. If you then look to the right of the screen there are also some other movies that might help to.
Stop whining and just make a ticket asking why, anything else won't help. I've had my account disabled 2 times, they undisabled it.
