It has been brought up here that this recent violation could be a mistake. Everyone knows what I am talking about. PBBans stance is 'talk to EvenBalance, its not our problem'. EvenBalance gives the same copy and paste answer to anyone who appeals. So what's next? I have seen several legit clan members call for action on this. If we go to EvenBalance's website, and browse to the COD4 section, the last update was from Thursday 09.13.2012 [3:45PM] ! So here is the situation we are in: A person is banned. They immediately go to PBBans.com to find out whats up, because afterall, the server is STREAMING PBBANS information constantly. PBBans reply with 'its not us! talk to EvenBalance!' So the person files the appeal with EvenBalance. Copy and paste response: 'you have been banned for 'insert violation here'. Maybe it wasn't you who caused the violation! Someone could have stolen your GUID and caused it! We don't know what files were on your computer. We can't tell you anything! All we can say is that you (as far as we are concerned) did something bad. What would any person in this situation do. Return to PBBans.com and ask for the BAN to be lifted since EvenBalance issues ONLY a kick while PBBans levies the actual permanent ban. Now PBBans is threatening forum access for even talking about it. I say: Stop streaming PBBans. This is affecting clans who partake in actual tournament play, and we can't sit around waiting for someone at EvenBalance to give a sh*t. I am passing this actual post on to all the clans who are currently playing in TCC and other active clans who run servers that stream this. We cannot sit around waiting for this to hopefully get sorted out. We don't have that time. This post will most likely get locked and possibly deleted. If you see it and you agree with me, sign up to xxxxxxx.org and let your voice be heard. I will save this post and pass it on to other clans. Lets keep our COD4 community alive. [CTU]Tokae.

I have recently seen 2 people I regularly game with banned for this. After searching the internet, I am noticing an alarming trend regarding this ban. Specifically that might not be a legitimate ban. Even more alarming, it seems that no one is able to get a solid answer regarding what is being done to explain this problem (if it is). It just seems to me that the lack of actual information being published or even acknowledged by Even Balance or PBBans.com is not only rude but shameful. You have people who paid 50 dollars for a product that just *might* not be guilty of this hack and all you say to them is 'go buy another copy if you want to play again'? I felt the need to come on here and state my opinion regarding this. It just seems that in this day and age, faceless corporations are shrugging off their responsibility when it comes to customer service. If someone from Even Balance would like to shed some light on this current wave of AIMBOT 50710 bans that would be great. Please refrain from copying and pasting the typical canned responses also. I am going to forward this post to some gaming sites as well. I think it would help us all out if perhaps someone was reporting on it. Thanks for your time. Tokae
