I am still not sure what is driving this.....but I suppose you have own reasoning in pulling the plug....besides the initial "optional" update of the bans list on your server.
Age shouldn't be held as an excuse for not receiving help when offered :) Hell I am twice the age of the typical gamer/server admin......and I don't complain.......much anyway :)
I can see where it seems confusing and overwhelming.....but I would like to ask that you join our IRC channel to discuss this before you make your decision.
You can join IRC by clicking this link: http://www.pbbans.com/irc/pbbans.php
What you could do is ask the team or league involved if they would register here and get their servers streaming. We could then have them post the questionable screenshots and help them understand what is going on with them.
I will humor you......
Once you initially set up streaming, in order to get the complete bans list added to your server.....you do this manually the first time.....completely optional though. Afterwards, all bannable violations discovered on your server....will flow to PBBans and then to all servers streaming to the Hub. It also works the other way around. A hacker caught on another streaming server will have his violation flowed to PBBans and subsequently to yours.
Two different issues....your first problem of the iwd mismatch has nothing to do with PB :) It is most like a problem with files on your system. I would try turning downloads on....otherwise, I would reinstall the game.
Secondly....server streaming.....you have to request streaming....it isn't automatic. My suggestion is read up on Streaming in these forums.
Several questions:
1. Game?
2. Server IP/Port?
3. It isn't streaming to PBBans....but you say it is......so to where?
The invalid iwd means you have files on your computer that do not match what is on the server.....nothing to do with PunkBuster. My guess is you are probably playing on of the CoD series games.
The Master Ban Index shows all of the bans that we currently have. This list includes screenshot bans.
Are you a server admin.....or an interested player?
The fatest way to tell if your servers are currently streaming is this: http://www.pbbans.com/msi.php ;)
From the count of servers listed in your siggy.....I would say you haven't set them all up for streaming :P
