Would Ban apply to Singleplayer in offline Mode or does it apply to Multiplayer online Mode Only?
I want to use Third party Skins and MODS in Singleplayer
Mode only for Machinema purposes and NOT for Online Gaming.
And if I switch to Offline in Steam will this make a Ban less likely
Or make no difference to detection in Account details 
Thanks

Using mods offline will not trigger a VAC ban. You have to join a VAC enabled server to run the risk of a ban through steam (I have been playing HL2 mods [offline] through Steam for a long time and have not had any problems).

If a user connects to a VAC-Secured server from a computer with identifiable cheats installed, the VAC system will ban the user from playing on VAC-Secured servers in the future.
