[Question] - Rust Ban Evasion

Hi, I'm wondering if any expert could let me know if there's a consistent way to tell if your HWID or any trace of a previously banned account are gone.

I got game banned few month ago, bought a fresh new account and played a couple hours (10) during the past 72 hours and didn't get banned yet. Is that possible that I get banned for ban evasion?

If you aren't banned after 10 hours you aren't hwid banned.

banned after 10 hours of playtime or 10 hours since you logged in and played on a new account ?

Doesn't matter.

hwid bans has a limit on 124 min (including the ui loadup)
detections however is a different case.

I am sure you are tired of repeating this, especially considering how well people listen. I spent some time reading all of your posts relating to rust for the past few months and had a couple questions.

IF you are not HWID (which WILL trigger in less than 124 minutes of launch) and not IP banned because rust does not IP ban, does this leave detections of cheats / detections of DMA/FW, and manual bans only?

Are there not cases of EAC bans due to linking with previous steam accounts?

Does this mean that you do not need to refrain from logging into old steam accounts with Rust bans?

Are there any other precautions to consider?

None really, manual bans rarely happens and no there's no "linking" old accounts. I'd probably place my bets on a detection in that case, I don't know the full story here though. I would reinstall the machine using usb before making any rushed decisions about what's being detected though.
