If I revert the game to 0 achievements unlocked, would that unsure safety if Steam were to start banning people who has previously used SAM?

I have used SAM for 2 games in order to unlock the alphabet in achievement icons, it amounts to almost 1000 achievements in total so it is a lot.

Steam can be odd, and sometimes decide to simply start banning anyone who has used the software, If they do that and I were to delete all achievements and start again at 0 now, would I be safe? Would it be visible on Valves end or is the "crime" already done?

I just want to make sure, I am a game collector and I am trying to reach 10.000 games before 2023 ends, would be a shame if I got suspended/banned on steam for such a simple thing.

There is no evidence to suggest Valve has ever done this in the time SAM has existed.

I'm not Valve, I couldn't tell you.

It's very unlikely that they would ban or suspend entire accounts for messing with achievements. At best they might put restrictions in place.

Thank you for responding on such short notice, I am worried that my account is going to get banned but many people have u locked all achievements to all games for years without getting banned.

I am planning to spend a lot of money on this steam account so I hope this won’t cause me to get banned
