    How did they get “lured” into the ban? Looks like Valve decided to ban them already, they just had fun with how they presented it.

      Full agree. It’s fun how they presented it, but also a one-month ban? Cowards.

        The person I saw on Twitch got a ban until January 2038.

          Oh fuck yeah. That’s what I call non-cowardice.

          Was it 19 January 2038 perchance? Because that’s a funny date, if you ask me

          The first time I saw this, the screenshot was of someone who got perma banned.
