Merlin is absolutely correct. Here's the solution. I set the server back to public mode by issuing the following command: /rcon pb_sv_pbbanshub league none and greetings started working again. When I issued the match mode command: /rcon pb_sv_pbbanshub league twlcod4naladders greetings stopped being made. +1 to Merlin.

If you mean ban announcements, then no, they aren't coming through. I'm also starting to think that bans aren't being enforced either. A player with a ban on file was able to connect to our server.

Nope, tried a fresh install again with pbbans default configs and even that won't work.

That big long one I posted up there is the TWL pbsv.cfg. That's the one currently running on my server.

Yup, those are both pbsv.cfg and pbsvlog.cfg. It may have something to do with TWL's pbsv.cfg, since that's the one I'm using. I did a fresh install of the server using pbbans configs and everything worked great. Once I loaded the TWL ruleset, greetings and ban announcements stopped working.

That's my pbsv file. I have the ucon profile set up in pbsvlog.cfg, which is loaded by pbsv.cfg: ;// PsB/PBBans/AON Streaming Info pb_sv_USessionLimit 12 pb_sv_uconadd 1 208.122.49.138 pbbhub1 pbbanshub pb_sv_uconadd 0 71.177.52.13 AONLIVE LIVEBETA ;//CoD4 PB Repository Commands pb_sv_logaddr rep.punksbusted.com // Repository IP Address pb_sv_logport 24425 // Repository Port pb_sv_LogUser "*****" //[remote_log_username] pb_sv_LogPw "****" //[remote_log_password] pb_sv_task 0 7200 pb_sv_ver pb_sv_task 0 86400 pb_sv_update

It's set to 1. Anything else I can try? I've been trying to figure this out for days now.

My server won't 1) announce personal greetings and 2) announce new bans. Join greetings work just fine, though. I know I entered my GUID in the personal greeting panel correctly because my greeting works in other servers. I have the personal greeting and announce new bans flags ticked. wat do?
