Please do not give cheat sites free advertising by posting links to video "evidence" it could lead to your forum account being moderated or banned.
The only way anyone can be added to the PBBans MBi is if guaranteed evidence is available to compliment the issued ban.
This comes in the form of;
An evenbalance cheat violation.
A punkbuster screenshot showing cheat use.
A PBBans MD5 tool cheat violation.
A PBBans cheat cvar violation.
A PBBans cheat file match.
A demo recorded by an ingame demo recorder that is incorporated directly into the game by the game publishers.
Last but not least, the server must be streaming to pbbans.com
Any other "evidence" (fraps recordings / xfire recordings / youtube videos etc etc, is not admissable as proof of cheat use.
The only people that can impose a guid or hardware ban are the makers of punkbuster software (evenbalance)
PBBans is a privately run anti cheat site, staffed by volunteers and funded by member donations.

Can we get a list of Players names that way we can compare to our ban lists and help by removing the bans manually ? Great catch PBBans HooaH
No need really, your pbbans.dat should contain the relevant information needed to manually remove false positives that are leftovers from the hub unban command.
Pertinent information is Multihack #79542
Admins that prefer a more "hands on" method of dealing with ban additions and removals, rather than let the PBBans hub take the strain are the target audience here.

All none streaming issues are client side.
Check that the port is correct, because according to the master server / browser, the *DS*Vietnam server's address is 85.236.109.208:20667

Check your other topic on this subject.

Bottom line, I appreciate what you do here, and have for the better part of 3 years. I'm very serious about the entire reason your organization exists, and I thank you personally for all of the administration help you have provided. There are absolutely no issues with the fiber connection at my house, nor lack of quality in any shape or fashion with said service to be clear. HOWEVER, with that said, I do fully understand your guidelines, and I seriously appreciate you taking the time to explain things to me that I'd forgotten. Not everyone is as experienced at running dedicated servers, and the majority of ISP's at a residence I do agree are not even sub-par. since these isp facts don't apply to my system here, it was very easy for me to forget your guidelines. I do apologize. This will not happen again.
thank you for continuing to do an incredible service for us admins and players who need it.!
kind regards:

My "quality of service" comment was not aimed at your internet connection :)
It was aimed at streaming services that do not run any kind of checks on the admins / servers that use their services, or impose mandatory streaming requirements as part and parcel of allowing streaming.
By not imposing checks or requirements on prospective streamers, the door is left wide open for mischief makers to stream fake bans.
This was recently demonstrated at 2 other anti cheat sites that do not check admins / servers, and do not have any mandatory streaming requirements, they were hit with an influx of fake bans
In fact the only requirement they have in place at the moment is you must be a registered user on their forums.
Their way of tackling this problem is to quietly remove the fake bans and carry on regardless.
The problem is that the mass fake bans are swept under the carpet, but the fake bans that are trickled in ever so slowly are still there.
Any anti cheat site that does not check admins / servers and have mandatory streaming requirements in place, has, at the very least, a corrupt banlist, hence my quality of service comment.

I just wanted to say THANK YOU!!!
BFBC2 has been swamped with hacktards for the last few days, so it was a relief to see 97 bans listed in the last 24 hours! Superb!
Keep up the good work :lol:
There is definitely a correlation between number of bans and my kill death ratio :unsure:
The thanks belong to evenbalance, the creators of punkbuster software.
What we do is enforce the issued bans across all PBBans streaming servers of the same game genre :)
Silent detections ftw;

the KF server is hosted on that ip...
ok so I'm confused. I've never been banned from a server in my life for any reason to my knowledge, and this is my personal IP from my ISP that I've had for months...the only person playing here is me and my son. could you please help me out a bit here? I don't have access to actually SEE who's on that list that you linked to, of an IP that I've had for months, and have been the only one playing on it, with no cheats anywhere to be found. I'm concerned as I'm the most ethical non-cheating dude on the planet, second to all of you fine people. what am I missing here?
...Seal...
No one has made any mention of cheats.
What your missing, is the fact that the servers you run are from a residential internet connection, and as such have been blacklisted by our systems.
We do not allow servers that are run from a place of residence use of our services.
You are, of course, welcome to try another streaming service that is not bothered about quality of service.
1. Terms & Definitions1.1 Game Server - A game server shall be defined as a network server running a program that acts as a hub for clients to connect to for the purpose of interaction. For the purposes of clarification, PBBans will only allow streaming from dedicated servers and not from LAN or personal computers.
http://www.pbbans.com/forums/streaming-application-requirements-t82423.html
Servers:Servers MUST be hosted at a data centre. This means that you can rent a server off a Game Server Provider (GSP), co-locate your server or rent space on a dedicated server in a data centre.
Any server that is situated at home or in your home office/business that you can access via your network is not acceptable. There is no reason that you should be able to play the game on the same IP as the server that you wish to stream to PBBans.
We will automatically deny any application where we find the server is not hosted at a data centre.
We will automatically deny any application if the server IP does not resolve to a data center.
We will automatically deny any application if the server IP is the same as the applicants.
We will automatically deny any application were the submitted website has racist or pornographic content.
We will automatically deny any application if the applicant appears on the MBI (Master Ban Index)

And it never did shit about the studdering problem for me. Seems the game is just plain flawed and can't be fixed.
That kind of reminds me of a squad of 30 soldiers on the parade ground ................ 1 of them can not for the life of him, work out why the other 29 are all out of step :blink:

Blackops has always ran smooth for me and my quad core processor.
My son has a dual core processor at the moment and BO is running a hell of a lot smoother since the patch release :)

Theres a news item on the original server owners website about their BFBC2 server;
I have removed the server from their team account and added it to yours.
Your team account server list now looks like this;

please enfore GV Bans!
You enforced GV Bans over GGC so you can enforced GV directly.
GGC Bans included GV Bans ,thats fact.
And no , GV is not a fakebancreator.
Fruity have not making fakelogs , thats not posible -->PB Stream logs on the fly.
The only Problem here is that Fruity is a Woman and a lot of Men

The IP of the server resolves to an ISP and not a GSP
Telmex Chile is the result of a merger between Telmex Chile and Telmex Corp (previously Chilesat) in July 2004. Since integrating its Chilean operations, Telmex provides local, long distance and international telephony, internet access, and data transmission services to large corporations, SMEs and residential customers. Additionally, its multi-service platform IP-MPLS allows it to provide integrated voice, data, and video services as well as VoIP telephony. -
well stupid question everson, can you link me an example please? is it simple to put together? a pic or link would be best. thanks
A simple pinned forum topic will suffice that contains the ingame aliases of all members who wear your clantags.

There are other anti cheat streaming services that do not have any requirements in order to use their services.
I can say with complete confidence that they have a corrupt banlist ... at the very least <_>
PBBans has the strictest mandatory streaming requirements of any anti cheat site, those requirements, if anything, will get stricter, never easier.
The mandatory streaming requirements were put in place, mainly, to address security issues we have faced in the past.
Maintaining banlist integrity is paramount, and the streaming requirements employed by PBBans help us retain banlist integrity.
Its that simple.
The choices available for any prospective streaming game admin are quite simple too.
You either "go the extra mile" and set up a website that has all the mandatory streaming requirements in place, that will allow you to join the largest anti cheat service in the world ..... or you go for something that runs no background checks, actively encourages cheaters to stream servers (giving them access to cvar / md5 scans and private forum areas) artificially inflates their banlists, steals scans, ideas, features, from other anti cheat sites, and has a corrupt banlist at the very minimum.

So I just got a BC2 server and it appears as if it was already claimed by another group so I can't add it to my group and setup the streaming. How does this get fixed. The server is 68.232.177.192:19567.
Thanks!
you should be able to add the server to your team account now.

Hi aman :)
I have updated your team account information.
You have been added to the team account.
I have set you as the master user of the team account.
The contact e-mail address for the team account has been changed to yours.

Is there any further updates in relation to this issue at all?
When any updates are available we will post it straight away.

joined this forum today must have known this was coming somehow, i was playing on the spartan gaming server and was kicked from the game, after trying to reconnect and failing i was asked for my cd key from the booklet.
i put it in and was then told that it is in use somewhere else.
any ideas on what i can do?.
Disconnect from the server, restart your game and see if the problem persists.
Sometimes players are too quick on the rejoin and the server thinks your already there so kicks you for cd key already in use.

PBGUID c5ee514fa8495d36a601a87f1fc3e4 does not appear on the PBBans Master Ban Index.

"Back in the day" we didn't have the range of consoles we do today. That is the primary market, regardless of whether we buy the game or not the crap will still get released, with a new big release every 6 months. PC gamers will struggle to have their voice heard over the roar of the console market.
Such a small percentage are we now that if we stop buying the games they will simply stop porting them over, not change the way things are developed.
A small percentage that still generates a few million dollars for relatively little outlay.
There are plenty of companies that would give their right arm to be in a position like that.
Instead we are being suckered by companies that dont really give a toss after the initial sale is made, at least thats what the resounding silence and lack of patches etc etc seems like to me.

thats the thing our server is streaming. Ill tell the admins to keep him banned hopefully you guys caught him down the road.
What server would this be scattershot :)

Another saying is "alls well that ends well" :P

Any ban issued by pbbans.com is based on a players pbguid only.
Any other information such as IP / alias / country of origin, is incremental information only and is there to aid admins identify cheaters past and present.
Take a look at the ban information;
http://www.pbbans.com/mbi-viewban-acee0d9c-vb203904.html
A player with a pbguid of 0941c53af9bac4206e2680bdacee0d9c raised a gamehook violation as a direct result of running PB software.
The player concerned was Canadian, with an alias of Tw1$T3r, and an IP of 68.71.52.113
The pbguid is derived directly from the game cd key, so as this pbguid has been used by players from the UK / USA / and Canada, it's safe to assume that the game cd key is "out in the wild".
You have not given us the last 8 digits of your pbguid.
If this is not your pbguid, then contact the server admin that has you banned and point them to this thread, because the issued ban is nothing to do with you.
If this is your pbguid you need to buy a new copy of the game and protect the cd key as you would your bank PIN number.
If your complaining that your alias is on the issued ban, then there is nothing to be done.
We will not alter MPi information for anyone or anything, we do not even have the means to do so, this in turn protects the integrity of our banlist.
Hopefully, that explains thing a bit more clearly for you.
