What is the point of PBBans?

[Jr83]

I've been wondering this after reading a recent forum post on the Battlefield forums.

 

If Punkbuster bans players and enforces the bans, what exactly does this website do?

 

This isn't criticism, just curiosity.

this is a third party Anti cheat  site that allows server owners to stream logs and enforce bans that may or may not be caught by PB its self.

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.
