first off this isn't a some scam so i can get free counterstrike:source.

Okay i bought css a few weeks ago, and i screwed up. well sorta. i got banned from playing the game because i had a skin on my knife. i was told by a guy from steam that it was okay. then i turned on my comp, and it said my steam account was banned. so i made a new one and reinstalled everything. i can't reuse the cd-key so do you know of a cd-key generator.

you cant get banned on skins.....

that's what i thought.

I would contact the Steam guys. I'm sure there is some kind of hotline. Just tell them what your problem is, if you are lucky they will give you a new key or will reactivate your key.

A friend of mine had a similiar problem: His key didn't work. He contacted them and they gave him a new one.

1000th post!

I highly doubt (sorry) that you were banned from skins it was probably something else that you weren't supposed to do.

the only thing i did that even resembled hacking besides the skins was just something to lighten the screen up so i could actually see stuff.

and wtf do you mean by skin on your knife?;p

He means he edited the knife model and made it look different.

yeah i made it look like a tonotu[i think that's how you spell it]

You definently can't use the key twice. Do you mean that your whole steam account was banned, or that only your CSS was VAC banned?

i can't join vac secured servers. so basically it's useless to me.
