DeRanGed Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 I was wondering...How come whenever the Hub bans someone, it doesn't add it to my pbbans.dat? Any help is appreciated. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ice Man Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 in account manager / server management find the server that your talking about. Accept PB Bans will add the ban to your pbbans.dat file ~Dan~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoadWarrior Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Open your account manager, click the enforce bans flag. Quick edit : accept pbbans bans forces higher cpu use-age on your server. Enforce bans is live, and applies to all servers for your game. Accept pbbans flag is an option, but not recommended, enforce bans works better, for all.

DeRanGed Posted August 1, 2008 Author Share Posted August 1, 2008 So if i do the enforce bans, when the hub bans a player it will not show up in my pbbans.dat file? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fozzer Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 http://www.pbbans.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=49924 Lets make a simple scenario; If your servers pbbans.dat contains a shed full of bans the server will use valuable resources checking every connecting player against the ban entries in your pbbans.dat. If you have the enforce bans flag checked. The Hub will do all the checking and apply a kick/ban command if the connecting player is on the PBBans MBI. This saves valuable server resources. You never have to download a banlist from PBBans.com Nothing from PBBans.com will be written to your pbbans.dat Your pbbans.dat can be used to manage any locally applied bans that you may have set. etc etc :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoadWarrior Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Bottom line, of it all. Enforce bans forces all bans made on all streaming servers apply to your server. Bans detected from your server will also be applied to all those who run the same flag, effectively keeping the cheater off their servers as well. Not all bans coming in on the ban-list will be applied to your account, just the ones detected on your server, so don't bank on the ban-count for your server directly. Enforce bans flag reduces your individual server's need to process a lot of information, as it's done by the hub, thus potentially reducing lag on your server(s) and accross multiple games, at that. Best option, and there's how it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as the end result is a streaming server it does not matter what type of setup method you use :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
