Right, but what about false positives? I can see having a rule against accounts that are currently VAC banned, but the "has never been VAC banned" is a little far, imo. Granted my account has never been VAC banned, but I have friends that got flagged and it was later removed because it was a false positive.

most likely.. just an unfortunate incident to which people give even less of a thought about.

I thought Valve never removed VAC bans even if it's a false positive.. because Valve.

Edit: I actually looked at the page and it says it will be removed automatically if it's found to be given incorrectly.

minor comedy from the page

To prevent additional bans on your account, please remove all cheats from your computer before playing on VAC secured servers.

You're correct. There was a time when Valve did not remove VAC bans for any reason, because Valve. People who got flagged incorrectly were without recourse in those days. I think at some point they realized they were incorrectly flagging accounts so they relaxed that policy. I feel no pity for people who use aim-bots, speed hacks, wall hacks, etc. But I think it is wrong to just assume that if an account was ever flagged then they are a cheater. Due process is a thing.

I don't know if the VAC has a judicial system, tho. All jokes aside, it sucks but well.. that's what they decided.

It sucks if you got a false positive. But in the end, the people who made the GAs have the right to not allow those people.
