Is this leading anywhere ? Post up your pbguid and I'll tell you if any of the above is relevant to PBBans. **update** What I see thats ET related and PBBans relevant; xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx4683f934 Alias(s) (25) IP Address(s) (1) The guid is clean. The IP on the ban you originally queried is of the Netherlands origin. Your IP is of U.S.A. origin.

This aint psb Bro, we only deal in hard evidence here, the only pbss etc that go to a vote are the ones that our experienced panel of reviewers are not in agreement about :)

Give cod4 a try Bro, it rox like nothing you have played before :P

And exactly what help do you think we can supply here ? ** edit** I have re read this thread and fail to see insults etc. Can you elaborate ?

Says it all really. ;)

After 3 days of non streaming a server is de-activated. After 30 days of non streaming the server is completely removed from our systems to prevent clutter. After the 30 day period the team account was removed from our systems, this was changed to de-activate the account rather than completely remove quite some time ago. btw welcome back :)

I dont see a request for a team account from you. http://www.pbbans.com/account_application.php

The method outlined here http://www.pbbans.com/forums/index.php?aut...&showfile=9 for webtool activation works for me np.

You do realise that checking the "enforce bans" option via your team account gives a fair few advantages; 1. The Hub checks every connecting player to your server and if that player is on the MBI he gets kicked. (the Hub is self updating so players will be prevented from entering your server as and when they appear on the MBI) 2. The Hub checks every player and not the server, so saving server resources. (very useful if your pbbans.dat has 1000's of bans in it) 3. You do not need to download/update the PBBans banlist, ever. 4. If a server admin inadvertently empties the banlist, players on the MBI will still be prevented from joining your server. 5. Because no intergration of banlists is needed, it leaves you completely free to do what you want with your pbbans.dat (i.e. configure it for psb's ambl use)

If you have this feature enabled, what your doing is extending the hand of friendship to a fellow PBBans admin :) If you join his server the gesture will be reciprocated.

Appeal ongoing - thread closed.

Thing to remember is that there are always undetected cheats floating about for 1 game or another and server admins are especially vigilant with games that are hugely popular and new. The most common way of catching the as yet undetected is by pbss and even the most lenient of server admins, would, imo, submit the pbss returned by you as a possible cheat related issue. Our ban managers are in full receipt of the facts and you will be informed of the result via e-mail. Personally I would not allow a player to play on servers I run that returned pbss such as yours, but like I said before, maybe thats just me :P

You have an ongoing appeal that will be looked at some time today by our ban managers. The screenshots in the ban link are what are being returned by you to the server, compared to what is returned by every other player they are at best atrocious :) Not your fault, I know but the game specifies minimal requirements to run it and a decision will be made on wether you have an unfair advantage running the game with such low end settings etc. if thats what they are. Even if your appeal is successful I would imagine a local ban would be applied by any server admin receiving screenshots of that ilk, but maybe thats just me. :)

Done

Whats the exact kick message when you try to join a pb enabled server ? what is your pbguid ?

Just for information. The clan team account looks like this atm; After 3 days the server is deactivated and after 30 days the server is removed from our systems, as you can see there is no server(s) listed, so its 30 days plus since your clan server streamed to PBBans. Re the aimbot violation, the server were the violation was raised would have to be streaming to PBBans for it to register as a ban on the MBI. There is a facility for checking a players pbguid agaist the MBI, and a facility to check any servers streaming status on our main website; http://www.pbbans.com/

PBBans uses a completely different primary streaming initiative than all other anti cheat sites, although we still support the old rep.method of streaming too, so its no problem streaming to PBBans and another anti cheat site. The differences between the standard streaming (rep.method) and the PBBans Hub; Rep Feature List: - Banning: Bans must be manually added to your server or by using PAT (PBBans Admin Tool) - Parsing: Parsing is done once a day. - Lecacy method of streaming. Hub Feature List: - Multi-streaming: Admins can stream to multiple anti-cheat sites such as PBBans and PsB at the same time. - Live Banning: New Bans are sent to your server as they are received. - Live Parsing: Server logs are parsed in real time as they are received. - Ban List: With the Enforce Bans option you no longer need to update the banlist on the server. - Log Forwarding: Option to forward server logs to other anti-cheat websites (Currently AON,& ACI) - Greeting System: Attach a personal message to your guid that will be displayed to players when you join a server (Server must have Hub Greetings flag enabled) - Easy Setup: Servers can be configured in 5 minutes. Also no file uploads required. - No 3rd party software required on the server. - Preferred method for Ranked servers. Not hard to see why Hub streaming quickly became the streaming method of choice of PBBans patrons :)

Rent a server from a game server provider and spot the difference. :) http://www.rtcw.jolt.co.uk/content/enemy_t...quirements.html

Nothing like reviving an ancient thread eh :) closed.

Was already done when I checked :)

Nice1 dobbs, good show of persistence :) If your anything like me, I hate a damned server cfg getting the better of me and will move heaven and earth to make it do what I want !! Also a big thanks to Buzzed for the very positive, pro-active replies in this thread.

Streaming to more than one anti cheat site has been possible since June 2006 :) You used to have to download and intergrate both banlist's but now its a simple case of checking the "enforce bans" option via your team account, this has a number of advantages. 1. The Hub checks every connecting player to your server and if that player is on the MBI he gets kicked. 2. The Hub checks every player and not the server, so saving server resources. (very useful if your pbbans.dat has 1000's of bans in it) 3. You do not need to download/update the PBBans banlist, ever. 4. If a server admin inadvertently empties the banlist, players on the MBI will still be prevented from joining your server. Probably theres a few more advantages but you get the drift :)

The simple fact that all other streaming initiatives on other servers have worked flawlessly should have alerted your GSP that there was a problem with the PB install for this particular server. It's always a convenient pass the buck excuse when a server administrator mentions that he's trying to stream, wether its to PBBans or another AC site. Putting streaming to one side for the time being :P my first and foremost priority would be to get the server to respond to standard PB commands. Any of these commands should elicit a response off the server; pb_sv_homepath pb_sv_ver wait till there are players on the server; pb_sv_plist if you have ftp access and auto pbss enabled (pb_sv_AutoSs 1 ) then there should be pbss in the root pb dir / svss folder. To put it in a nutshell, when the above commands return a response it will be a safe bet that the streaming commands will work just like they did every other time. You will probably elicit a better support response off your GSP by asking why you can not get a server response to any of the above commands and not mention streaming at all. When you are confident that the PB issue has been fixed then we can concentrate on the streaming issue (if there is one) :)
