take some time to go through the hub troubleshooting guide at the bottom of this post: http://www.pbbans.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=19266 for any bother you may have - server IP 82.234.17.192:20103 is timed out at the moment, so no checks can be made at this end

just take a read of that rcon tutorial i sent ya - in a week you will be an uber admin :P

you run a cod:uo server with punkbuster running - that tells me that you have a pb folder with all your pb stuff in it, including a pbbans.dat file - this is were all your bans are stored - names and a last 6 of a guid is not recommended and judging by what you posted the ban.txt is not very efficient :) why use this command: /banUser [name] Bans a user by their ingame name. Writes their GUID to ban.txt when you can use: pb_sv_plist // this shows all complete pb guid's plus a lot more - followed by pb_sv_banguid [32 digit guid here] a remote rcon tool such as hlsw would be invaluable to you and i have sent you a tutorial on its setup and use via forum pm - you can download the latest version of hlsw here click me

to answer your original question :P everything that is detected by the Rep is also detected by the PBBans Hub - Rep streaming is best suited to private clan servers that are used just for wars and will stand empty for long periods of time - Hub streaming is ideal for busy public servers - as always its entirely up to the peeps that pay for their server what method suits best and its always best practise to actually read the info on the streaming guides to help you decide - the PBBans Hub works just as well as a stand alone method of streaming and by doing that it free's up the standard Rep method of streaming if the server admin wants to stream to another repository.

with Rep streaming the logs get parsed in the early hours of the morning every 24 hours and anyone who has raised a violation gets added to the MBI. with Hub streaming everything is instant - for example, if there are 1000 ET servers streaming via the PBBans Hub and a cheater is caught on 1 of them, 4-5 seconds later that cheater is added to the other 999 Hub servers pbbans.dat - you dont have to do a thing - the Hub never ceases to amaze me in what its capable of and there are enhanced features being worked on - the Hub streamers also get all the Rep catches automatically added to their pbbans.dat as soon as they appear on the MBI, you will see on your pbbans.dat entries it states either PBBans Rep or PBBBans Hub - anyone that successfully appeals a ban gets removed from all Hub streamers pbbans.dat instantly as well. as far as i am aware PBBans is the only anti-cheat site who have managed to successfully utilise pbucon as a streaming option and since its conception we have tripled the amount of streaming servers we have with us - the Hub is capable of handling 6,500+ servers so there is plenty of room for all :)

sometimes i just wonder what goes through cheaters minds - especially when i see a name and subsequent action like this http://www.pbbans.com/mbi.php?action=5&ban_id=12593 lmao :D

the q3 IP 85.236.100.10:31229 is added and streaming :) the IP in your post refers to an ETpro server - 85.14.217.133:27972 NOOBLESS ARENA - not sure were that comes into things,but anyways - welcome aboard PBBans Hub Server Search Server Status: Server is streaming via Hub Server Info Clan Tag: C|U Server IP: 85.236.100.10:31229 Last Streaming: August 22, 2006 4:17 am

streaming has a negligible effect on players ping and if streaming was the culprit i'm sure our streaming game admins would have raised the issue before now :)

in rtcw we used this: /cg_autoAction Does some things auto, useful for proof etc: 1 - Start a demo at the start of the round 2 - Take a screenshot at the end of the round 4 - Save game stats to a file at the end of the round 3,5,6,7 - Add up the above for multi-function, e.g. "7" will perform 1+2+4. a quick google search will probably explain it better than i can :) http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q...ction&meta=

np m8 - as long as we have admins that elect to stream to the PBBans repository we will continue to do our best to keep those admins fully up to date with anti cheat info :) We will also do our best to answer any question you may have in a professional, courteous and informative manner - it may be unpalatable at times but all we can offer is truth - what you do with that truth is entirely your concern, but at least your now in possession of all the relevant facts to help you with any decision you may make in the future concerning players who are flagged up with full blown pb hack detections.

let me clarify things for you m8 :) - anyone that has raised a violation for any of the following: Cheat/Hack Violations: When PunkBuster detects a cheat or hack by repeated positive identification on a player's computer, a violation is raised. These violation numbers are 50000 and higher. Families of cheats are listed below. Resolution: Remove cheats and hacks from the computer. #50000s - Aimbot #60000s - Wallhack #70000s - Multihack #80000s - Gamehack #90000s - 'Cheat' Video Drivers #100000s - Speedhack #110000s - Autofire #120000s - Game Hook #130000s - Attempted PunkBuster Hack can only be removed from any anti-cheat ban list if EvenBalance tell us it was a false positive (false positive = a mistake) - false positives are normally caused by some other software programme running at the same time as the game and causing an abnormal reaction from PB software, i have never heard of a false positive being raised for a multihack offence. The only way forward for this particular player would be to raise a trouble ticket with EvenBalance and they will investigate the matter, but seeing as he has done a fresh install of ET this route would be pointless, as the player has to duplicate the violation using the same setup as he was using when the violation was raised. If no one else has said this before let me say it now, the owner of pbguid 02d4a58aff3bc0435f4d9059086d5a85 will stay on our banlist for a multihack violation and all his subsequent pguid's will be linked on our MPI3 to that violation. With ET being a free game it generates a new pbguid with each install, so his current pbguid will allow him to play as normal (he could have just deleted his ETkey file in main it would have the same effect) - its that easy. I dont care how old he is or how computer literate he is, he had a full blown PB hack violation raised against him and in 99.99% of cases, that = hacker. If a ban is appealed to PBBans for further investigation it gets looked at and voted on as to wether it stays on the master ban index or gets rescinded - appeals for full blown pb detections get rejected as standard and the automated mail reply will only state that it has been rejected and nothing else. To sum up - there is no doubt and no mistake was made - 02d4a58aff3bc0435f4d9059086d5a85 had a multihack violation flagged against it and will stay on the Master Ban Index.

??? do you know something we dont cappo
