AgentRevolution

:lol: Lol, that was such a long time ago. It was almost a year before I even started playing BF2. It was some force-commander and teamswitch hack I got on some freebie hacks website that allowed me to resign the commander of each team :D . I think it was at the cybercafe also, lol. Been such a long time since I really played 2142.

Well, thanks for all the replies and infos everyone. I conclude the best for me would be to get a new retail CD key, a new BF2 Alias, and a new IP (and stop playing with my own account at this cybercafe) so my new GUID and new Alias would be cristal clear, and it wouldn't stop me from joining a clan.

Yes, I know, I resetted my network yesterday, and I have a dynamic IP. Whenever I change my WAN address in my router's settings, my IP changes. But if you take all my IPs, they will always lead to the same location. 1st and 2nd are the ones I talked about in this thread. Never heard of the 3rd one, but might have been another case at the cybercafe. It is not found anywhere in neither the MPi or the MBi that I can access, so I don't have information on it. The 4th is the one I have always used at home. BF2 was given to me by a friend, and the game was used. I know that he had played it for some time, though I'm not sure what did he do with the CD key after he gave me the game, if the search to returns that it is leaked. Knowing him, he might have selled it on eBay or something. I'll ask him next time I see him.

Ah okay, I see. Thanks for the info. I though it was possible but that admins were categoric and wouldn't do changes, except for tiny exceptions. So, that means the database is locked down and not editable by people not having access directly to the computer where it is stored. Still, can anyone answer my previous question?

Without knowing that last bit of statement, yes, it was kinda hard to understand. An editor that allows to do that should have been thinked when PBBans first opened. :lol: Even if I would have did it on purpose or not, why would that be an offence? :blink: I mean yay, a banned GUID, okay, just kick the player from the server. But just don't add it on the GUID's Alias list, penalizing more correct people than wrong people because that some other people can't make the difference between the MPi and the MBi is just strange. Anyway... That seems a good idea. It's the reason why I came here first was to make sure I would never encounter this problem again if I had to join another clan, but it's okay then. I'm not whining, consider that I write my posts in a neutral/friendly fashion. If I need to use emotes to show that, then I'll start using them, lol. :lol: Just a last question: With my current situation and Alias status, would joining the clan give them trouble with PBBans Streaming on their servers? They told me that having a member in the clan with my current MPi status would prevent them to have PBBans streaming (in other words, they say PBBans would disallow them to stream because they would have a member with an MPi satus like mine). I'm just not sure if that is true, and it's the main reason why I got kicked. If you guys (PBBans staff) tell me that it's wrong, it would probably give me another chance to join them again. :)

I'm not sure what is supposed to mean this statement, was it ironic? I mean I created a forum account yesterday to be able to post in this section, but what is the link with the bans? Well, I told you, I was playing at a cybercafe. I don't know which keys are leaked off the internet or not, I'm not a fortune teller. I'm just a victim of the system in the end, and I don't feel anyone is willing to help. I mean it's normal you don't trust some unknown guy that comes here, because it's probably not the first time it happens, but having just a bit ampathy toward me could help realize that it just sucks for me all the way.

I tell you, sometimes I go play at a local cybercafe, and I use my AgentRevolution BF2 account to play BF2 at the cybercafe. I wasn't namehacked or namespoofed. The AgentRevolution you see on the list was me, but I got added there just because I tried to play BF2 with a banned GUID, though I am not the one that triggered those bans. This means that PBBans links anyone trying to play with a banned GUID to this GUID, even if it is not the name triggerer. The fact that we can see arround 7 different countries on the 2 banned GUIDs' players lists can be explained by 2 things: a friend works at this cybercafe, and he told me they often use private proxies in orders to clear IP bans frequently. The other theory could be that someone was able to get their CD keys and leaked them. (about that point, some time ago, about 30 of their Steam accounts (at the time they didn't had Valve Cybercafe) mysteriously disappeared one time, so that's kinda frequent...) The similarity with IPs is normal, I am using the most popular ISP of my province/state. Most of their IPs start with numbers arround 24, 66, 75, and 96. Anyway I wrote a long message to the clan leader, it says he read it (about 15 hours ago, maybe), but he didn't replied. That must be because he doesn't want to get in trouble (he THINKS that he can get in trouble with PBBans streaming "because they would have a wrongful guy", when the clan has hundred of members), just because of another unknown recruit guy (that is me). The clan's Security dept. told me before they kicked me that they could lose PBBans streaming (for my case, I don't believe that) and then that hundreds of millions of hackers and aimbotters could come in their server. (Remove the "hundreds of millions" and it gives out what they exactly said to me) Now from all those explanations and facts, I can tell 2 things: - The MIA clan kicks are based off a sometimes misunderstood research of PBBans players' file - The fact that PBBans records and logs people using banned GUIDs even if the ban was triggered a long time ago is not a very good idea, because from my point of view I think it can be an erronous source for determining if a player is an hacker. If we search my Alias in the Master Ban index, it returns nothing, and that's from this that MIA should base it's clan kicks more than the Master Player index. I don't really care about wheither the ban is valid or not, though I'm sure it is valid, I'd just whish that my name could be removed from those GUID's Alias list, because I am, with all the evidence I provided, not the guy that triggered this ban.

OK, thanks for the advice, I understand your concerns on that point. I'll try to talk to the clan leader.

Hey folks, I don't wanna type out the same message I sent out to PBBans and Even Balance for the 4th time (IE8 is being crashy :rolleyes: ), so here's what I sent to PBBans as a ban appeal. Tell me your thoughs about my situation, and if you think there might be a way out for me. The clan mentionned in this message will only reaccept me if I can get those GUIDs cleared off my BF2 Alias on PBBans. You can or cannot believe what I am saying, it is up to you. Though, I am not lying when I say that I am honest. Here's the message:
