It's simple.
Hacking is hacking, period.
Try any punkbuster command to see if it's running. If yes, then everything is good.
-
Please do not post in one-month old threads in the future :)
As for your question: I can not find any details on your ip address or alias. What is your PB GUID?
-
Let me explain one more thing to you, and that is the end of this thread and this discussion:
GUID: Globally Unique Identifier
If you share it, then that is at your own risk. We ban GUIDs, not persons, since this should only affect one person a ban. Knowing that, there's no difference between your system and ours.

are you punishing cheating or are you punishing supposed piracy etc?
We ban GUIDs which have raised a punkbuster violation, so only cheaters.
there are cracked servers which don't mind "piraters" playing the game, but also use punkbuster to stop cheaters... punkbuster then bans the piraters who happen to have a key once used by a cheater...We know, and we do not allow cracked servers to stream to us.
-
As Benway posted though... your ban isn't even enforced by PBBans. It's enforced by EvenBalance, we are not EvenBalance.
You're argument is really with them and the implementation of their bans, not PBBans bans.
He can't see this, iirc.
-
there's actually a whole lot of logic in my arguments
The graphs made no sense at all. It also suggests that a case number of 2.38930285 is possible, or 3.8129380523. For example: The amount of cases is discrete and not continuous.
-
If you connect with a key/serial which other people may have, but haven't cheated with yet, you don't get auto banned... right?
Correct.
and, you're not permanently banned it's just a timewaster/semi-ban meaning you have to apply for 'case review' etc. ..too, right?
No. All our bans are permanent except the temporary one described below. They can be appealed, however.
p.s. if the cheaters do use these keys to cheat but keep their own ones to play normally (we presume), then wouldn't it be better to have an IP-ban system or something as a punishment ?
We have an ip-ban system in place, and those are temporary bans. However banning an IP permanently is no good as they change over time, especially with dynamic IPs.
-
We ban GUIDs, not players. This is how PBBans has always worked and will always work.
Innocent until proven guilty is how we work. We ban a GUID when we find a violation coming from it.
Oh, and why are we tyrants when we only ban with evidence?
-
Well, my biggest buddy in the whole world is Mr Obama himself.
There, I said it, now believe me!
...
Don't believe everything you read :) And unfortunately we still can not ban him.

Thank you Everson for summing it up for us ;)

I made it to the second sentence and that was it.
You're my hero

"Our server is not streaming at the moment because we want to populate"
So.. streaming is a big no no? There's no difference in loosing 25% of the players now or in two weeks ...
-
If you want to submit PBSS's for our ban lists, you'll at first need to be streaming. Click here for the first step.
-
However, that is not what this thread was meant to be about ;)
-
It isn't of much relevance now, but perhaps in the future...

try to change $_GET["playername"] to $_POST["playername"]

What clan is this for? Can you provide us with a website address?
-
I have found your details via an ip check and you do not seem to be banned by us, Evenbalance or any other anti-cheat site. The ban is a local one handed out by the server admin himself. I guess that you will only find your answer by talking to them.
-
We do not allow duplicate forum accounts, that is why your first one got deactivated.
This is my last post here because I don't see any point of talking here with such immature persons like you guysHow about trying to understand what we say? You are banned by EvenBalance, not us. Read fozzer's post again if you wish.

not sure this qualifies as community news....
[sarcasm] Of course it does! [/sarcasm]

You should get a job as a weather forecaster...

They are, yes, and we know that, but we can't help it...

It only works when there are no arguments behind the page url.
