VAC is not the only thing we should be afraid of, this is easier to evade though and BanCandy is not especially active. 5-10 daily bans world-wide as far as i can see. They are getting more and more active though.
BanCandy is an employee from Infinity Ward (the developer of MW3) that is capable of banning people if she has evidence in form of a video. BanCandy is now IW's official manual banner. There has been other ways to report MW3 cheaters, but fourzerotwo has stated that all reports should go to BanCandy and her new workmate called Banstache.
BanCandy is not booster/cheater hunting themselves.
Anyone can record a killcam or take footage from theater mode, send it to them and you will probably get banned.
If you see someone called BanCandy join your game, you should stop hacking or leave. It does not really matter if it is them or not, because BanCandy bans are manual. It can be someone that is cheater/booster hunting and records footage of them.
If you have emblem/title/stat hacked to obviously hacked stats you can reset your stats and be lucky. They might ban for resetting stats too though. So if you wanna be sure don't edit your stats to unrealistic numbers.
If you think someone has recorded you while cheating, you should leave and change name as fast as possible and hope the person didn't get your steam profile. If you change name fast enough he doesn't know who is you in his recent players
This also counts on consoles. It is not possible to change GT/PSN though.
UPDATES: This is now what her twitter says: "Infinity Ward Security in MW3 against cheaters. My workmate Banstache will also take your reports!"
BanCandy bans are NOT VAC bans
I will not post any information about how to report because this is one of the biggest CoD hacking sites and we don't want our members banned.
If you have anything to add; post it and I'll add it.

Now I wonder...
What happens if players has same name.
They can then ban random people that uses the same name.
If you get the Steam ID, then it's way better. (I think they made a tool for this...)
Also, records can be fake. (You record yourself with name as the player you want to get banned.)
So, change your name...
Your name will be in your name history...

BanCandy states that if they get a link to the players Steam profile and some footage it is enough.
They have also said that they are careful with banning on Steam, but I have found people getting banned on Steam by BanCandy. I'm pretty sure they prefer getting a Steam ID and some sure evidence by server owners.
But you are right. That's all i can say.
Added something in the beginning.
Uhm, I didn't edit your post... just missclicked.

well that doesnt make a whole lot of sense though...if they banned by ip then the manual bans would be easily circumventable
I agree jorndel..steam id seems more likely

Well I was never banned when someone was hacking under my name

There's a reporting tool out there, which simply looks through all the *.demo files, gets the game name (S&D, Seatown blabla), lists ALL players AND their steamid's (and their current alias). You press report at the specific player, write a short message, and the .demo gets sent to BanCandy.
It's pretty easy, even if you change your name, to deduct who the hacker was, by excluding the names you can still find in the list.
Keep your heads up, no way around them seeing your steamid if they know what they're doing. BanCandy states that they have banned hundreds of players, it seems realistic tbh.
Also, what *****r said, BanCandy's female.
So, Nachos, maybe update that up there too, in some cases there might be no way at all around them banning your steamid from MW3.

And that would end up in a bad business.
I think they pefer that they might go and buy a new game, and then they can hack on that account and get banned again.
So they can earn money on it. And just keep the IP under-watch. So they can watch that user a bit more closer than they would usually do.

Note that the report tool does not actually send the .demo file itself. It only submits the SteamID and messsage to the author's website. I would assume that once a specific Steam ID get's a large or reasonable amount of reports, then BanCandy will actually check the player out.
I don't think using name fakers are going to do much as you can't spoof your Steam ID (well perhaps you can but it'd take alot of trouble). So yeah, using name changers to pretend to be another player in the same match might save you but otherwise you're probably screwed.

Hello
SA UTIL BANCANDY say was used.
However, three weeks, even if they Ambulatory HACKER is reported.
And many times, but reported, HACKER is the Ambulatory.
Leave that word to verify your post on Twitter, the first week of giving the answer, but as you know, BANCANDY does'll make the FALLOW.
I am a 30 ripple BANCANDY record, but you'll still do FALLOW.
I reported the damage HACK HACKER too hard, people who use was reported.
KILLCAM also reformulated, but he is today Ambulatory.
HACKER two has several people, but equally is the Ambulatory.
BAN for using MW3 NOMAL do something, but not always over his host not being able to BAN.
If you to BAN, BAN HACKER been the only game right now, but is not visible,
The game is in another room.
The VAC offenders are treated badly?
VAC? Is absurd.
I reported the JAPAN, CHINA, KOREA, Philippines, Singapore, HACKER 106 people.
They are still active.
SA UTIL by two good things that you are using a NAMEFAKER, URL is not invisible to.
You can find the URL.
But if you use NAMEFAKER find a URL that they came into the lobby before quickly changing STEAM NAME NAMEFAKER and titles, and emblems should change.
How do I do so.
During the game, or, at the end of the steam to fix the name as soon as NAMEFAKER are exchanging with a different name.
And when the game is over, it goes out.
And the emblem and title NAMEFAKER should rename the game.
But this one's just a spoof, STEAM URL you can see, steam can also see your own numbers.
However, the eyes often seem so complicated, unless you do not mind.
Or a good friend of the head or, if you're too much of a painter, might find.
Even if he does not look all BANCANDY matter.
If you play alone, do not do a two to three people at the same time it's a good idea to action.
STEAM and the above-mentioned name, NAME FAKER, title, changing the emblem.
I have done till today is the result.
Finally, find someone to have a URL to a report UTIL another URL
Example: VAC ON to display a URL with an account that was hope.
I speak English, GOOGLE using the writing leaves a translator.
I'm sorry.

Yes, it is old :P I think it started it out some weeks ago on reddit. I mentioned already in some threads earlier, but nobody seemed to care then xD
I'm going to call bullshit on this thread simply due to the fact that I personally have been banned by her two times now.
(a video of me rage-aimbot/lobby modding was posted to the front page of her subreddit)
