Your team account currently looks like this; *************************************************************** Team: Counter Terrorist Unit Clan (CTU) Account ID: 2852 Streaming Status: Streaming (1 / 3) *************************************************************** --------------------------------------------------------------- Server List --------------------------------------------------------------- BF4 - 74.91.124.43:25200 COD4 - 74.91.125.145:28960 (Streaming) BF4 - 74.91.125.215:25200 --------------------------------------------------------------- All none streaming issues are client side. The first thing to do when a server just stops streaming is to run the Automated Hub Setup again; http://www.pbbans.com/automated-streaming-setup.html If you are having to go through the setup procedure every time the server restarts, it's obvious that your server is on a "crontab" of sorts and the server is loading a default cfg that does not contain your streaming commands that you sent to it in the setup phase, or your streaming settings are being held in a file that is not loaded by default after a server restart. If you can not figure it out yourself, raise a ticket with your RSP and tell them what your issue is .. hopefully they can then sort it out for you :)

But it's not your key is it A pbguid is a 32 hexadecimal derivative of your game cd key. The pbguid you are claiming is yours (ada061b82260edee9da2058659ff4e95) was first seen on a PBBans streaming server back on March 02, 2008 and the player using it was based in Hungary. The player was caught via a routine, PBBans issued MD5 scan; This type of violation is a "no brainer" for us when reviewing any subsequent appeal because the detection comes complete with a digital fingerprint ( DE992B3594851B37C8F93B2793785595 ) which happens to be an exact match for a cheat that we have in our database. The pbguid was first seen in 2008 and has been used in Hungary /Serbia / UK / USA / Turkey / Ireland / Bosnia & Hergozavina / Spain / The Netherlands / Colombia / Venezuela / Argentina and Chile. The ban was appealed by you on February 05, 20014 and was denied for reasons as stated above. The only reason you do not have a restricted forum account is because the player who raised the ban was not you. My advice would be to buy a new game from a recognized retail outlet and move on.

PBBans is a privately run third party anti cheat site ( http://www.pbbans.com/about-pbbans.html ) We are not Even Balance, the creators and maintainers of PunkBuster™ software. If you have admin access to servers and have come across a persistent cheater frequenting those servers, why not apply to join us; http://www.pbbans.com/streaming-application.html

After a sustained period of none streaming team accounts are automatically deactivated so that PBBans tools / resources etc are only available to admins that truly support the anti cheat cause by actively streaming a server. Your team account last streamed a server on November 06, 2013. Normal procedure would be for you to open a ticket and request reactivation. I have activated your team account and your now clear to add servers. Please be aware that a streaming server must be added within a 14 day time frame otherwise the team account will be automatically deactivated, and the reactivation process will have to start all over again. I could not find a viewable roster on your site, this issue needs to be addressed asap to prevent any future problems if your team account is selected for a random audit that we employ on PBBans team accounts. A roster can be something as simple as a pinned/closed forum topic, listing every member that represents your group by wearing your tags.

Here is the advice we give to players in your situation;

Welcome to our world ..... topic locked.

Seems some have missed what I posted so I will repost the relevant sentence again;

What are you trying to prove :dunno: All the above is quite normal. Last time I checked the 50856 cheat violation came complete with a globalguid ban issued by EB themselves. This means that anyone raising the 50856 violation will not be able to join any PB enabled server. The 81518 cheat violation just incurs the standard punishment PB normally employ .... a 2 minute kick. It is the proactive admin or third party anti cheat service that turn the 2 minute kick into a ban. Not every server streams via PBBans and not every server uses the PBBans banlist, in fact only a small fraction of servers stream to a third party anti cheat site so I would dispute the 2 out of 3 comment :P

I see a fair few appeals including the EB troubleticket and I would say the opposite is more like it. The appeals I have read (including the EB troubleticket) have been full of outrageous indignation and nothing else. The #81518 violation will remain in play until one of those on the receiving end can reproduce that violation, on demand, by running none cheat software. Up to now no one has done that. It is no skin off the Even Balance nose to declare a "false positive" because the default "punishment" for raising this cheat violation is a 2 minute kick. It is the proactive server admin or third party streaming service that turns those 2 minute kicks into a ban.

It seems we had more luck than you and Scottya268 has made a reactivation request. All it needs now is for a server to be added to the team account.

A suggestion for the OP. Make sure you run a full malware scan on your pc. We have a zero tolerance for cheat site links / advertising etc on here ... and an even greater intolerance for malware links.

For posterity; The old school way of working out ports was the gaming port+22000, so if the gaming port is 25200, the query/rcon port will be 47200 For correctness; http://www.pbbans.com/forums/bf4-ports-t177458.html

Ask EA when you contact them.

Reading the link provided would be a start.

Scottya268 aka GG-Earls_Towing is listed as a founder on your website and last accessed team account #12506 as recently as 18 days ago. He last visited your forums on Wed Nov 27, 2013 9:20 pm Has an issue cropped up within the last 2 days :dunno:

From what I see you were a member of a team account back in the day, not the Mater User of a team account. As it happens I have just this minute received a reactivation request from the Master User of the Tactical Advantage team account (Witness) and the account has been activated and is awaiting a server being added to it. Contact Witness and ask him to add you to the newly activated team account.

The default "punishment" for raising a PunkBuster™ software cheat violation is a 2 minute kick, it is the proactive server admin or third party anti cheat service that turns that 2 minute kick into a permanent ban. PBBans also provides, unique, up to date MD5 scans that enhance standard PunkBuster™ software and also issues bans on submitted PB screenshots that show cheat use / ingame demos showing cheat use (where applicable) and cheat related cvars (where applicable) There is also a myriad of tools and features available to server admins that stream their servers via PBBans. http://www.pbbans.com/about-pbbans.html

Even Balance (EB) are the creators and maintainers of PunkBuster™ software. Your cheat related violation was raised because the server you were on was PB enabled. PBBans is a third party anti cheat streaming service that is not affiliated to EB in any way. I hope that clears up any confusion. False positives are normally dealt with by EB pretty quickly so ............... just sit tight and wait :P

It isn't a canned response .... it's the truth. Do you think we can snap our fingers and EB will jump ... we are a privately run third party anti cheat site ... not EA/DICE :P Even Balance always have the last word on cheat violations raised by their own PunkBuster™ software. If it was an MD5 scan / PB screenshot cheat related issue I could give you a definitive answer but because it is an EB violation we have no choice other than to sit tight and wait ... that goes for all of us.

Well, lets hope Even Balance staff are reading this topic then :P because they are the creators and maintainers of PunkBuster™ software. PBBans is a third party, privately run anti cheat streaming service and we are aware that a possible "false positive" statement from Even Balance may be forthcoming ... but until that happens any recipient of Violation GAME HACK #81518 will remain on our banlist

Now I have a bit of time on my hands, a comprehensive search of the unofficial banlist reveals this; You were detected with a cheat cvar in your cfg ( wl_aimkey = 16 ) It is entirely the server admins choice whether to scan for cheat related cvars. It is entirely the server admins choice whether to ban for a cheat related cvar violation. If you wish to contest anything speak to the server admin.
