How to Submit Evidence for Ban/Gag requests

This guide explains how to record demos, take screenshots, and attach them as proof in a ban or gag appeal.

Recording a Demo

1. Record the demo
Open your console and type:
record demoname

Replace "demoname" with a name of your choice.
When finished, type:
stop

2. Locate the demo file
On Windows:

1. Open Steam
2. Go to your Library
3. Right-click Counter-Strike: Source
4. Click Properties
5. Go to the Local Files tab
6. Click Browse Local Files
7. Open the cstrike folder

Your demo will be saved there as a .dem file.

3. (Recommended)
Compress the .dem file into a .zip or .rar archive. This significantly reduces file size and makes uploading faster and more reliable.

4. (Optional)
Move the file to your desktop to make it easier to find when attaching it.

Taking a Screenshot

1. Take the screenshot
Press F12 to take a screenshot using Steam’s default keybind.

2. Locate the screenshot

• Steam → View → Screenshots
• Select Counter-Strike: Source
• Click “Show on Disk”

3. (Optional)
Move the screenshot to your desktop for easier access.

Attaching Files to Your Appeal

1. Open your ban or gag appeal
2. Click Edit on your post (or when creating a new one)
3. Click the Attach files button
4. Select your demo, screenshot, or compressed archive
5. Wait for the upload to finish and submit your post

Your files will now be attached to the appeal.

Notes:

• Compressed demo files (.zip or .rar) are strongly recommended
• Do not rename demo files after recording
• Ensure your files do not exceed the forum’s upload size limit
