Ok, well I had a Counter Strike account, which got banned. I'm wondering do they ban by IP or per Steam account..
If I make a new Steam account and re-buy the game, would I be able to play.

u cpinney.

I think its only an account ban. So if you rebuy then you can play again.

Don't accuse. I didn't use hacks. I let my real life friend use my account, for the first few months, it was all good. Then he decided to start hacking, and what do you know - he got it banned. So I couldn't use it. That was why I was wondering if they ban by IP or Steam account, either way I can make a new account and keep playing.

IP bans are futile.
The only anticheat that does hardware bans is Punkbuster.

If that's the case all you have to do is send steam a ticket saying that your account was compromised and someone got it banned. Tell them you don't know who it was or how - they will check the IP addresses and confirm your story.

Try setting the filter to servers in your country. It helps bring your ping down. If your country doesn't have any servers, play in continents close to you.

Or just set the ping filter to >100 A lot easier than fiddling around with countries.

reinstall a fresh copy, go ingame (don't join a server, just open css)
r_shadows 0
r_decals 0
r_3dsky 0
r_skybox 0
rate 25000
cl_cmdrate 100
cl_updaterate 100
decals are for sprays, you can leave them on but if some1 sprays it, it will make you have a second lagspike.
put these in console and then put all your graphics to low, and join a server.
(i am assuming your hardware is bad here)
