Answering your question:
1st: telling everyone you're using no-steam
2nd: telling everyone you're ban evading
3rd: you won't have it
1st: I never said that I was a non steam user.
2nd: Everyone is ban evading
3rd: Wont have what?

I believe he means that you won't have a third opportunity.

You won't have a 3rd opportunity, like DarkGod pointed out.

An unwritten rule about ban evading, don't draw attention to yourself

As far I see in the post people misundersoot me relating to evading ban's.
I wanted to say that nobody wants to be banned.

that doesnt mean that im a non steam user, I could have a non steam server in my house, just to play with bots or with my girlfriend. that doesnt mean nothing.

Let's be fair here...

Pretensions: I've never used a non-steam anything and I've never ban evaded.

Contextually, banning users for saying they associate with non-steam servers without asking for help or support is idiotic. That's like banning someone for saying they visit thepiratebay.org regularly. You never know what they use it for or why they are associating themselves with it.

I may be an old and useless member in some or everyone's eyes here but my eyes are open to what goes on and the practice of banning anything that says "non-steam" should be abolished. If they ask for support or anything besides a civil discussion, they should be warned of their violation then further action taken.

Unless of course y'all want to be as censoring as China where anything saying "Tiananmen" is annihilated from citizen's viewing...

come on, this is America, FBI can close alliedmodders if they find "non" and "steam" words too close to each other in this forum, i think that's why
and i really see no reason why non-steam should be discussed here, if you are releted to it, just don't mention it, or it is your fault

No they would not have the authority to do that no matter what. A complaint would need to be filed by VALVe which if anything would result in a simple cease and desist letter. A lawsuit could never be filed under any circumstance for Copyright violations if a forum discusses something deemed "illegal" and in this case, the only way infringement would be possible is if we specifically linked to non-steam files or advised how to circumvent steam. By not doing that, there is nothing to worry about.

Talking about non-steam is not like discussing how to kill a leader, it's not illegal to discuss it...

Please, I do not want to necessarily associate myself with anyone's particular beliefs. I just think it is not fair to generalize anything non-steam to being bad because yes it is bad but some people are unformed...
