[Help] Ban explaination

Ban explaination

I've recently got into PC GTA and i've encounter an enormous amount of hackers, pretty much in every lobby I get into. This makes me wonder how a ban is on PC compared to a console considering that, as far as I know, you can't unlink your Steam to social club.

I'm wondering if a player is banned, they have to buy a new steam account and buy another copy of GTA to play the game again. Is this the case? I don't know because with the amount of people doing it, i'm assuming it's easy to get yourself back into GTA after a ban considering the shear amount of them. How does one go about unbanning if they've been banned? I'm not a modder myself, I use to use tunnables on PS3 back when you could change your DNS and that's about it. Any help on the topic of bans/how they work on PC would be helpful.

Hm, I think you need to create a new social club account, link a new activation code to it and see where you can get with that.
Idk if it's possible to run the steam version using the social club launcher, but if so, you at least could play the game again, right?
Neither do I know if you can link several sc-accounts to steam (as I got the 8-dvd version). Sorry, not much help there, right?

Sort of the answer. Mainly wondering how people are not scared of being banned considering how much people are modding nowadays. It's either the tools are not that detectable or it's easy to bypass a ban. This thread was created to find out which one it is. I play using the Steam version and i'm thinking of getting a menu to defend myself.

This is a stupid question to be honest.
If your account is banned, its banned, finito, nada.
There is no Anti-cheat implemented, but you can get fucked by manual reviews from rockstar.

As of 1.31 there is definitely anti-cheat

How is wondering how bans work a stupid question? I'm not banned, i'm wondering how bans work considering the amount of people hacking. I can't find the answer i'm looking for anywhere. The whole point of this is to find out why there are so many modders online PC.

Putting it simply,
- Is there a way to bypass the ban once banned? (Unlinking steam account/new steam account/new social club/something else?) That allows someone to play again without buying a new copy of GTA.

- Are the tools people use not that detectable to the point of everything being able to use them with reasonable low ban rate?
