Evenbalance blaming OldGuys(?)

[xXxahrimanxXx]

For history, this is in response to the thread here:
http://www.oldguys.eu/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=5187&start=15
"Gimme a clue on this ban" ÂÂ*-- ÂÂ*not sure why this thread was locked in the first place.

After a bit of a runaround at evenbalance, this is the reply I got from them:

"This is a local ban from that server. You need to contact the server admin to find out why you have been banned, and if that admin's server is part of a master ban list, who runs it.

Several large Master Ban Lists are frequently used by server admins. The main ones are:

PBBans
http://www.pbbans.com/
Appeal: http://www.pbbans.com/appeal_ban.php

http://www.anticheatinc.com/ (ACI)
http://www.game-violations.org (G-V)
http://www.aaserveradmins.net (AASA)
http://airdaleops.com/ (AON)


An appeal-link will be shown in the output of your search."

I PMed runMFrun about this. Anything you guys can do?

This was on server 7, let me please check it again. Maybe there is a hidden thing in the database... don't know.

Gimme 1 hour

So let me get this straight:

You lead into the game, and then you get banned, or you can't even load up?

You are not on any banlist.

FOUND IT!!!!!!

The ban was not on PBBans, GGC, our banlist (normal banlist.txt) or a plugin.

It was hidden in the pbbans.dat

removed it!

Have fun on the server again.

[xXxahrimanxXx]

Awesome!!!

Cannot wait to get back in, been too long. Many thanx for your persistence.

[xXxahrimanxXx]

No joy
:(

Same kick:
"Game disconnected: you were kicked by PunkBuster. Stated reason: PunkBuster permanent ban issued on this Game Server for player 'xXxahrimanxXx' ... Prior Kick/Ban"

Tried running PBSetup again just to be sure.

Back to Evenbalance? Let me know what I can do.

[Vercetti]

Ah, the server has not been restarted since I lifted the ban.
I will restart it once it's empty, so you can enjoy playing on it again.

[xXxahrimanxXx]

Many thanx once again

[xXxahrimanxXx]

Was able to get in last night. The reboot appears to have been the solution.

Thanx again for all your efforts Vercetti.

[runMFrun]
