tried the WT I think it is and was gtg on that one, so I can only hope its server stuff. Thanks again guys.

you have been banned from this server by the server admin so hopefully just server side

Bless you and sorry for the attitude at the start of all this. Is there anything else I need to do? Tried to go into a server and still says banned. That a server side issue?

Hope so..fingers crossed..

Just wondering...again not being mean, but how long or what else should i do in reference to a ticket with EB? Hate to keep adding to the ticket, but just wanting to know what is going on or if I should just take it and call it quits with gaming.

Nevermind, guess it was just some server resets...back to banned again. :(

Ok..not sure where to go again. Tried the usual servers I normally go to, and was able to get into a few, others not so lucky. Tried your server, the WT one I believe, and said I was banned from that, but I was able to access that one before but not the others. Checked the "lifted bans" area just for kicks to see if I was possibly lifted. I wasnt, but I noticed a *edit* was. Guess I can only wait for Evenbalance

Yea yea, rub it in. :P But, just in case, for some darn dang reason its not, would it be possible to get any help removing whatever and wherever the thing that caused it?

Cool, wasnt sure if that was "allowed". didnt want to step on any more toes than I already have.

Me again, sorry. Getting a little confused as to whats the next step. Evenbalnce ticket is saying..from what I get from it, I shouldnt have a ban. Should be able to connect to a PB streaming server. But how is that possible when you guys need a ticket stating something along the lines of a "false positive". Updated Ticket Again, no arguing, fighting or whining, (figured that wasnt working) just trying to figure out the next step>

standing by

Sorry if it double posts or anything, Vers is 1.5.549..same as far as i know

Ok...late here, and as a drill sergeant I need what little sleep I get. Mind if I try tomorrow night? Or not..just tried and i am getting the same You have been banned on this Server by the Server admin

http://www.pbbans.com/mbi.php?action=5&ban_id=63746 this what you are referring to?

Got ya, wasnt sure if they were looking for particulars..too easy. Same thing i will type on the ticket, You have been banned on this Server by the Server admin.

Just asking, not starting a war/ argument/ fight..who lifts the ban if they (Evenbalance) are asking if its still in place. Perception is a killer, but it seems as if they are trying to get rid of it.

The additional information they are asking for is if the ban is still there. NOTE: This ticket is currently in a "User Action Required" state. This means that we need you to provide additional information to us. Please read the last note added to your trouble ticket. 04/02/2008 15:43:50 - "Glenn Courington" Note #5: If your ban is still in place, please let us know.

np..one sec.. 2nd and favoritest ticket ( I hope)

Sure thing.

Doing some more investigating on me own here..might want to check out this site. No...I dont go to this site. And yes,..was referred to it from a server admin that had just banned a guy by the same name that day. Edit....do not post links to cheat sites here. We are already aware of them. Thanks.

I realize all of that, and have submitted as you know. I know its not the same # violation. but I believe they were using that as an example. Am just saying that there are these people doing these things and whether ya believe it or not, there are innocent people being nabbed for this stuff.

Found something maybe ya'all should know about, not being an arse, just trying to help. Sorry for the aggravation. HEY Ladies and Gentlemen. I would like to add to what (name deleted) is gearing towards with this thread. BF2 is not the only game which THOUSANDS have been banned from. From what I'm reading, there have been as many if not more people banned from COD4 as there have from BF2. EVERY punkbuster enabled game is subject to the possibility of this exploit. The people behind this are doing it because they are hoping that EVERYONE will be unbanned and have a clean slate. (DELETE THIS INFO IF IT IS DEEMED INAPPROPRIATE but I thought my friends might find this useful information) And I quote Quote: Now how did we manage to do that? Quite easy... Punkbuster - desperate to get our private cheats detected, thought it might be a good idea to randomly sniff any PC's physical (!!!) memory. Basically it's acting like a virus-scanner trying to find blacklisted sequences of bytes found in cheat files. Which is not even a bad idea - it's just been used badly. Give a monkey a gun and he shoots himself. Don't blame the gun... First of all I was surprised to find my private chat aswell as passwords (paypal/online banking/...) just everything inside PnkBstrB's process memory. Thanks to (name removed) for pointing me to this. Do you know what PB is doing with that data? Do you trust them? Of couse you do. Punkbuster never fails. I don't trust them. So I kept digging deeper. After a while I found out what rsHook got detected for: Some noob leaked the files to Punkbuster. As they couldn't manage to reverse or crack them, they've just added some random string to their signature blacklist. Neither (name removed) nor I could believe what's happening here. All it takes to get kicked is to have that sequences of bytes in a computer's memory, and you will get kicked for #80332, even without hacks!!! That exploit ... no let's call it by it's real name Large Stoopidness of evenbalance: was asking to be exploited. As such we started looking into almost any Punkbuster game and found similar strings. Of course we could not resist to try this on a couple of servers and different games - with surprising results: We were able to kick players from almost any Punkbuster game for different violations. Where's Punkbuster's defensive attitude here? To yield to despair? If those signature violations you people over in Texas made such a blown-up secret about (#Gamehack, #Multihack, #Aimbot) would be handled with precaution, just like the Corrupted Memory (fried RAM VS memory patch), thousands and thousands of CDKEYs wouldn't be banned and wasted for now! In other words: YOUR FALSE POSITIVES already caused thousands of innocent people to be banned! Just imagine how many cdkeys have been wasted on Call of Duty 4 already because of that bug? Well alot of keys went down the lavatory eversince we found out, that's for sure

Rofl..maximum attention.. I have never had any problems before. So thanks to someone and EB, my name is stained. Spoiled brat...yea, I usually get offensive when I am accused of something that I didnt do.

But will they give me a reason or whats causing it? I mean if they say "no, were sticking with the ban", I have no idea how to get rid of whatever caused it. And even if I go out, get another game, who is to say whatever caused it the first time, it dont happen again?

I can do that...though i re-submitted it, asking what the resolution was. Ticket At the top it was in red saying it believed this was fixed, but I received no email or anything as to the outcome. Now, please dont get irritated when I ask this. If they say no, they wont lift the ban, then I am going to need some help removing whatever is causing the "hack/cheat". Anybody able to help?
