Guys, there is no sense in arguing about any of this. I have been a streaming admin with PBBans since 2005. This isn't the first time I have seen someone go down that I thought there was no way this guy was cheating. And it most certainly wont be the last. I have seen posts where people have openly admitted to cheating for the same damn violations, and other people just flat our deny it. Just because someone has a cheat installed doesn't mean their stats go through the roof. Stats are not the end all be all proof or non proof of a cheater.
Unless you are sitting right next to the person while they are playing you truly do not know without 100% certainty if they are cheating. I am not saying dlo, beebop, or any of the others were definitely cheating, and I am not saying they weren't either. We have only questioned it when its people we know and have gamed with forever.
There is only 1 solution..
Turn off Punkbuster and stop streaming to PBBANS. But I don't think you really want that.
We do not maintain the ban list, we cant just erase a ban. An Evenbalance (PB) ban is global. You will not be able to play on any PB enabled server. A PBBANS violation means you wont be able to play on any server that streams to PBBANS.
Do we believe in 2nd chances? is some cases yes.
