  1. As I posted in the private forum section, PBBans runs an open door policy on anything raised in our forums, because you elected to post the original query in the general discussions area of our forums, thats were the reply shall be posted, as per our policy.

     

    The results of our internal investigation follow.

    3 staff members and myself have carried out a thourough investigation of your claims and it is left to me to collate the findings of all 4 independent investigations.

     

    The admin that streams his servers via PBBans has been the victim of somone else using his alias and raising a ban violation :shock: ;

    http://www.pbbans.com/mbi-viewban-cf09e744-vb226738.html

     

    The IP of the player that raised the cheat violation leads directly to [hrT]Q-TiP- whom I believe was a clan member of yours some time in the past.

     

    The Q-TIP guy is a restricted user on PBBans forums because of cheat related activity and is registered with an alias of havoctimes;

    Q-TIP's bans:

    http://www.pbbans.com/mbi-viewban-10025e61-vb160857.html

     

    There are various xfire screenshots that show your own clan members, as per your website roster Playing with Q-Tip and using both [hrT] and [DI] tags;

    Your clan roster link;

    http://hrtclan.guildlaunch.com/roster.php?roster_mode=members&gid=217175

     

    Conclusion:

    A known cheater used an alias of an admin that streams servers via PBBans and raised a cheat violation.

     

    The known cheater has played with the current members of the [hrT] clan as well as members of [DI] clan using the relevant clantags for each occasion.

     

    Summary:

    Its obvious you guys have had an acrimonious parting of the ways somewhere along the line and wether this was a deliberate attempt to besmirch someones character / gaming reputation is anyones guess.

    I hope you have the good grace to point out on other forums that you have posted on/ replied to, a link to this topic which is now moved back to the general discussions forum section now that the internal investigations are complete.

     

    I must stress that even if your original complaint had been proven, the same procedure would have been followed, the results of the internal investigations would have been posted in the genral discussions forum section (same forum area the original query was raised) and a team account suspension would have been invoked.

  2. Your server appears to be running "cracked" server binaries.

    PBBans does not support "cracked" servers in any shape or form and has an automated process in place to weed "cracked" and "home" servers out of our systems.

    Your server was flagged up as running cracked server binaries on one of the automated sweeps.

     

    There are other anti cheat sites that seem more focused on numbers rather than quality of service and run no validation checks what so ever on the servers and admins that use their services.

    Thats why they are hit on a regular basis with spoofed/fake bans and have a corrupt banlist at the very least.

     

    If you want to retain the use of PBBans services you will have to contact your GSP and have them do a fresh install of your server using the correct server binaries.

  3. DVD copy of the game for us :)

    Normally cheaper from a retail outlet.

    Even if I was considering a digital download from EA's Origin store this clause would definitely mean no DICE :P

  4. I've written a support ticket to GGC. Apparently, they have some false bans going around: [/size][/font]http://www.ggc-stream.com/news/84/Game-Violations+-+False+bans+at+external+banlist

     

    So, hopefully they get this sorted out.

    Just as a point of information.

    Its not just GV that gets hit with fake bans on a regular basis.

    Any anti cheat site that just requires forum registration to stream servers is going to have problems with fake bans, and thats why we have mandatory streaming requirements in place here, vetting of everything, including forum accounts, and a strict policy of none streaming for cracked or home servers.

     

    PBBans can live with the reduced streaming numbers as long as we are doing all we can to maintain banlist integrity

  5. Okay, i ive got couple of question about this. How is gonna work pb becouse we already know on dx10 and dx11 unable to make pb screenshoot i mean its possible but we are getting black shoot? And will be the same crap optimisation like in battledield bad company 2? I mean unable to put restriction against autohotkey macros etc? Will be support on this or something?

     

    Those are questions for http://www.evenbalance.com not PBBans :)

  6. hey

     

    2 of my 3 servers aint streaming 92.48.91.106:2304 & 92.48.86.42:2304

    can you plase fix that

     

    thx

     

    Only you can fix a none streaming issue.

    All none streaming issues are client side.

    Because the 2 servers have already been added to your team account, once you get the streaming initiation commands correct, streaming will kick in instantly.

     

    Try this;

  7. Great news lets hope DICE give the same support as they did with BFBC2 and we should have a solid streaming system at release.

     

    :blink: the one and only reason that BFBC2 PB issues were resolved as quickly as they were was Kalms, a very rare commodity these days .... a game dev that gives a f*** and took the time to learn about streaming, what it does, and how important it is to server admins.

     

    EA/DICE need to get their act together and instead of spouting the usual "we take ingame cheating very seriously" blurb, they need to actually show how serious they are by creating a list of trusted anti cheat sites (or trusted anti cheat site representatives) and getting those all important server files thouroughly tested prior to the game release, rather than "on the fly" troubleshooting that we have had to employ on the recent EA releases.

     

    The time for prodding those faceless EA suits is now ........... community representatives please take note.

  8. There is one basic ingredient needed before anyone can offer any advice or support on these forums re your issue, and that comes in the shape of a ban link or the last 8 digits of your PBGUID.

     

    Your topic can be moved (on request) to a totally private forum section that is only viewable to you and PBBans staff members, so you can post whatever information you think is relevant to your particular issue.

     

    Already you seem to have confused PunkBuster™ with PBBans.

    As Surfy has already stated, PunkBuster™ software is made and maintained by these guys http://www.evenbalance.com

    PBBans is a third party anti cheat site that is not affiliated with PunkBuster™ in any way.

    If you have raised a MULTIHACK cheat violation somewhere along the line and a ban has been issued on your PBGUID, if you think a mistake has been made, you need to raise a troubleticket with EvenBalance.

    Trouble Ticket Link

     

    Here is the process we have in place here at PBBans;

    Any bannable violation that is raised directly by PB software, as per this list;

     

    #50000s - Aimbot
    #60000s - Wallhack
    #70000s - Multihack
    #80000s - Gamehack
    #90000s - 'Cheat' Video Drivers
    #100000s - Speedhack
    #110000s - Autofire
    #120000s - Game Hook
    #130000s - Attempted PunkBuster Hack

     

    is added automatically to the PBBans MBI.

    It should be remembered that EB normally apply a 2 minute kick for the above violations and its the proactive admin or 3rd party anti cheat service that apply the actual ban.

    EvenBalance always have the last word when a cheat violation is raised directly by their own software, but as the actual ban is issued by PBBans.com its best practice to include us in the appeal procedure.

    The player can do this by clicking the "appeal this ban" tab and following the simple instructions provided.

    This will include raising a troubleticket directly with EvenBalance and that should include as much information as possible as to why the player thinks this is a "false positive".

    It's always a good idea to list all processes that were running at the time the violation was raised (antivirus / chat programmes etc etc )

    The key word with any troubleticket query is patience, EB get a hell of a lot of queries and response time is dependent on how busy they are.

    Normal response time is 48 - 72 hours.

     

    I have absolutely no idea of any "legal reason" why someone would withhold their online alias, but thats your choice I guess.

    So ... over to you, shall we have a nice open to google and the world debate right here re your issue ... or do want to debate in private.

    Personally I prefer the first option, it will give everyone with a similar issue to yours an insight into exactly how we deal with things at PBBans.

  9. Just one simple question. Do u accept battlerecorder files as proof for cheating. When I checked some players, 2 of them were clearly(crystal clear) aimbotting.!

     

    Just one simple answer :) no

     

    We only accept demo's from games that have a record facility built in to the game and can provide us with streamed information to guarantee that the recorded file has not been tampered with.

  10. Thanks for reply

     

    The roster (or team list as we call it) is top menu - 4th button from the left

    direct link to the page:

    http://faith-bf.clan.su/index/sostav_roty_kto_ets_kto/0-4

     

    Is it still classed as none viewable?

     

    Is every one of those listed a clan member, or are they the registered users of your forums ?

     

    The reason I ask is because if just one listed clan member on a roster is detected with a cheat, it could lead to the team account being suspended, so its in your own interest to get things right to save any complications in the future.

  11. I dont know why a reason for denial was not posted by PBBansBot (something I will look into)

    I have just taken a quick peek at your website and the only thing that stands out to me is the lack of a viewable roster.

    The only other thing that would raise an eyebrow, is that you registered on the PBBans forums with one IP, posted your first query from another IP and your last post is from yet another IP (probably your works IP)

     

    A roster is a list of every member that represents your group by wearing your tags.

     

    If you re-apply just place a direct link to your viewable roster in the comments box of the application form.

  12. Electronic Arts senior vice president he might be, but if Patrick Soderlund makes an obvious PR blunder as to come up with such a "lame" excuse as that, maybe he should leave the PR to more competent liars :P

  13. Hay there,

     

    I need a Admin .. im banned only on one server by a battlefield 2 mod called Project Reality.

    They said, im not on the ban list, they ment i have to clarify it with a pbadmin, becaue im maby on a pbblist :(

     

    My nicnames are "Davidb2142" and/or "Davidblaesing" and i think, but dont know extratly that my GUID is: 437f1d49

     

    Help pls, i just want to play :o

     

    They are wrong.

    If you are banned from 1 server only it is a locally applied ban by one of the server admins.

  14. Based on the IP's of people who posted in this thread, I take it you created a duplicate forum account.

    Our rules are quite simple ..1 forum account per person and 1 team account per group.

    The forum account Gabor Soos will now be deleted.

    Please do not create any more duplicate forum accounts, it could lead to a full forum ban and a permanent team account suspension.

  15. errrr, team account 9892 is already active and the master user (EUGabesz1961) is the only one attached to that team account;

    ***************************************************************
    Team: [iRAM] Clan ([iRAM])
    Account ID: 9892
    Streaming Status: Not Streaming (0 / 1)

  16. I know your new to PBBans and streaming UpGive :)

    I just wanted to reassure you, and anybody else thats new around here ... to get a server streaming, its normally a case of using our automated setup tool or sending 7 PB commands via rcon and your good to go.

     

    Its only this awkward with BFP4F because of shoddy PB intergration re the streaming side of things, take a read here for info;

    http://www.pbbans.com/forums/bfp4f-problems-t143480.html

     

    Oh, and thanks for sharing your MYIS fix :)
