I was just cleared by EB: "This violation appears to have been triggered in error. It is our recommendation that the ban issued for this violation on this GUID be removed. We apologize for the inconvenience." What's next? Thanks for your help!

Thanks Fozzer for the assistance and tips, I just submitted a note on EvenBalance with the list of Apps that I typically have running while playing BF2. *sigh* I appreciate the process and all but still very frustrated with being treated guilty until proven otherwise... this little incident feels like a mini case of someone who went to jail only to be released not guilty few years after... This game is really my hobby and I simply enjoy playing with folks online - I guess I'll just have to keep killing computer dudes in single user mode until this is resolved :) Thanks again!

Thanks Blackwolf, I appreciate the quick reply. Is there anything PBbans can do to see if there's something to what I wrote? I mean, if there are few servers only who generate this - perhaps it's something that triggers false positive? Do you know how long does it take for an appeal to go through with EvenBalance? I saw some people waiting a week plus. In the meantime I can't play on any server :( Considering the circumstances, is there anything PBBans can do to help? You can ask the BF2 players on [iSI], and the other few servers that I frequently attend: I'm sure many of them will remember who I am - and will probably attest I never cheated (I was never accused of it, at least as far as I know). Thanks again!

Hi Pbbans, thanks for your support. I am writing to you as I was just flagged with violation #132044 on an [iSI] BF2 server (http://www.pbbans.com/mbi.php?action=5&ban_id=71818) Please let me say that I have played hours over hours on this server and enjoy it very much. I've been playing BF2 for 2-3 years now and I never cheated, never tested a cheat and never will. I despise cheaters I am guessing this was some kind of mistake. While trying to figure out what is violation #132044, I went through the last 3 pages in PBBans logs - looking for this specific violation. I found that only *few servers* continuously reporting this: [iSI] server: 3 times (23% of total cases!) =HOG= server: 3 times (23% of total cases!) [FUB] server: 2 times *ATG* server: 2 times Which tells me this is probably a problem on the server side - and not a real hack? If it was a real hack - wouldn't you see it all servers, not just a few of them? Can this be that one of the admins on [iSI] intentionally reported this? or perhaps a bug on those specific servers? I already appealed to Even Balance - but I am afraid this can take a very long time. In the meantime I can't play on any server :( . Is there any way PBBans can lift this Ban until resolved with Even Balance? Here is the raw data from PBbans for violation #132044 (http://www.pbbans.com/mbi.php): Date Server GUID May 31, 2008 [FUB] 2387375fff0b3847880cbb4c5f6f50df May 27, 2008 *ATG* f6fb7121e7e0d570361a57e2e7b7b6f2 May 27, 2008 =HOG= a4afb1dcd77eef347368b66a61e28b78 May 26, 2008 [iSI] 82792bbe9a014819a66e450fcb06e731 (that's me) May 15, 2008 M*A*D 661bc2f1588e35ffd8e003445a269145 May 13, 2008 =HOG= 1523275b44a154af37e5b35e0801d8d1 May 08, 2008 [iSI] f7bdd62dcb95474c656d974d1aafd679 May 05, 2008 *ATG* 0ff96b190f740b65db229109f59bbf8b May 03, 2008 ]HH[ a193b92f8f55cf9f6b80df6ad0f6c76b May 02, 2008 [iSI] 237be70a19bf24ea9799409f1c0f356d Apr 26, 2008 [NcW] bac6531a9699ada8f3b6f8c6477d738c Apr 22, 2008 [FUB] 61f9cb3ad3af4ed0d21e3194d2a91b7c Apr 18, 2008 =HOG= 74671608f8e71bf0251f0944f06aff26 Thanks for your help!
