Robson Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Hello, A few days ago a player got auto banned by punkbuster for using an aimboth. I retrieved the message from the server logs and got a xfire screenshot that shows that he is being kicked by punkbuster from my server. How does he get on the master ban list? Already emailed [email protected] but got a postmaster delivery failure. Thx, Robson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky_Fr4gg3r Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 (edited) Hi, First off, let me start by saying PBBans is in no way related to Evenbalance, the creators of the Punkbuster software. A few days ago a player got auto banned by punkbuster for using an aimboth. I retrieved the message from the server logs and got a xfire screenshot that shows that he is being kicked by punkbuster from my server. If he got banned, it means there is nothing else you need to do. If he got kicked, I'm afraid, since your server was not streaming to PBB, there is nothing you *can* do. PBBans accepts evidence from servers that stream their logs; the only type of screenshot that is admissable, are Punkbuster Screenshots, and even that needs to be backed up by streamed logs. Basically, there is no way at this point to get him on the banlist. You can however, set up your server(s) to stream with PBBans, that way any future violations, WILL result in the player being added to the PBB banlist. For more info on how to go about getting your servers streaming and what it means exactly: http://www.pbbans.com/info-center-starterguide.html http://www.pbbans.com/account_application.php http://www.pbbans.com/webtool.php http://www.pbbans.com/info-center-hubguide.html The streaming of logs is a fully-automated process, so you don't have to worry about it being too much effort ;) Already emailed [email protected] but got a postmaster delivery failure. That's because you spelled research wrong ;) Anyway, no need to contact Evenbalance about this, as they are not in charge of PBBans, and they will only ban as they see fit; they do not accept 3rd party evidence like screenshots.

Ice Man Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 nothing that we can do since you weren't streaming at the time, BUT you should setup streaming for the future: http://www.pbbans.com/account_application.php http://www.pbbans.com/webtool.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But thx for the help anyway ;) Looks like it's streaming again, since you've regained SGA status now? In case it is not, you should be able to set up streaming yourself without help of your senior admin, as long as you have either the RCON password or direct FTP access to the server ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
