    Your ip from that particular server I'd say


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,686 ✭✭✭RealistSpy


    So it only bans IP not serial key? Because my main IP has been changed for some weird reason and pb has a different one.


    Server Log Data
    ->PBSV: VIOLATION (CVAR) #9001:E-Realist (slot #20) Cvar mom_aimbot = 1 [3d651556caa5449caae724959eb600f6(VALID) 89.234.69.238:28960]

    what is an aimbot?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,969 ✭✭✭christophicus


    Dude if you know about getting other peoples profiles, how can you not know what an aimbot is ?

    I also see that ou are in Irish E-Sports, surely you must know what an aimbot is if you are in a clan ?

    Anyway you are banned by PB bans, so any server streaming to PB bans will kick you when you try and join.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 313 ✭✭ToughyIRE


    lol that elite realist? PB got you with an aimbot, your ****ed basically! Go out an buy another copy of CoD4 if you want to play again, or just go play on non-PB srevers with the rest of your kind. :D

    As you can see I have never cheated before! Plus I didn't know there was aimbot in the profile? I guess I will have to get a new cod4 I will try steam.
    I love that game. Plus what does being/was in a clan have to do with this?

    They (punkbuster) don't ban based on IP, that would be pointless. The ban is based on the game serial #. So buy a new copy.

    They can ban based on hardware ID if they want (ie if the offence is serious, tampering with punkbuster etc). Which would mean your entire computer is permanently banned from all punkbuster games, and you'd need to change bits of hardware to circumvent it.

    So count yourself lucky and cop on in future.

    Or just get better hacks in future! :p

    No you wont its cb time


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 127 ✭✭Dixy


    Realist you were caught on the Irish E Sports server on your own profile with a aimbot. Now if it was you or someone else using your profile i never got to the bottom of but pb banned you and i personally removed you from the clan list.
    We dont tolerate any form of cheating in Irish E Sports and all sign ups are checked by our admins who are also pb admins as you know.

    Indeed.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,686 ✭✭✭RealistSpy


    So we have all decided I knew I was cheating and I planned to cheat? wow. Anyways thanks for the info.
    Peace.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,969 ✭✭✭christophicus


    Well, if you had used a profile that belonged to someone else it would have had their name in you Alias list on PBbans. It does not, there are only 3 alias's, all of which are related to RealistSpy.

    There should be a 4th one which was the person's name then I change it to my name and I got kicked, back to lv1 then I tried a different name but all my save came up corrupted and I kept getting kicked out by pb for "aimbot".

    Then I told a server admin who told me I was cheating.

    Anyways I hate arguing anyways I just wanted to find out what was ban now that I know I can play COD4 again.

    I don't really need a big lecture I know my mistake was using someones profile and changing their name to my alias.

    Is COD:WAW any good online?

    In all honesty , no one ever believes these stories . I d/led this , someone else was on my pc , it was my brother on the same IP . It's been told and heard a million times before and no matter how genuine you are it will never be believed .
    And cheaters are despised by the clean players , it's the worst thing that could possible happen to anyone in a gaming community and the only way out of it is a complete profile change . Leave whatever community you are in and change your nick because no one will ever believe that you play clean in any game . These are the facts .

    I also see that you are in Irish E-Sports, surely you must know what an aimbot is if you are in a clan ?

    WAS in Irish E-Sports until we sent his guid to punksbusted and pbbans for getting caught with blatant aimbot files - asking me "whats a aimbot?" only made u look silly (the specific file he had you cant get by accident) - Irish E-Sports has been responsible for catching 100s of people that have googled hacks like this

    im just annoyed u had to act the idiot with my clans' tags on http://www.pbbans.com/mbi-viewban-9eb600f6-vb83480.html

    its cd-key (guid) only - u buy a new game u can play online -

    we will still know who you are tho

    No, PB identifys each user based on their GUID; changing profiles won't give you a different GUID, so you wouldn't see any other alias's.

    Im pretty sure if anyone put those lines of text in their config (mom_aimbot = 1 or whatever) they would be flagged as having an aimbot, even if they 100% didn't (so don't try it for a laugh :pac:), that detection is based on just looking at your config file for that piece of text.

    So it is quite possible that you could be wrongly flagged as a cheater by using someone elses profile, or even a malicious 'custom config'.

    I'd hope there was some actual evidence of aimbotting seen by the IE admins along with the CVAR, otherwise in hindsight its an unfair banning tbh.

    I never said it would give you a different GUID. PBbans tracks your aliases though, based on both guid and IP. There were only 3 linked alias's related to that account, related to that name. If you are a streaming admin you can look it up yourself by putting in the guid in the above ban in the MPi and checked all of the boxes.

    Granted there is a chance he changed his name before going into a server, or a streaming server at least, but if he was dumb enough to get caught on his own server I doubt it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,686 ✭✭✭RealistSpy


    Look mate if I want to cheat I would do a better job come on seriously and why would I go around asking what an aimbot is if I already know I would be hiding my head. I know I didn't plan to use any aimbot so I have nothing to fear. Cheating on a PB server? Why?

    I am going to buy a new serial and stick to my alias. Why act guilty if you are not. Did anyone bother looking to see if I was guilty or not?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 313 ✭✭ToughyIRE


    Did you appeal your ban on PB ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,613 ✭✭✭Lord Nikon


    Some players are actually good, and get accused of hacking religiously. I could name a few in irish esports servers that are very good, and some people hate to be beaten by them, and refuse the killcam evidence.

    Meh, Punkbuster gets paid big bucks to do a good job, and Ithink they are doing it. Even balance ftw.

    Yeh but they told be they have heard the same lines over and over and their was an aimbot in my config.

    Sorry but I d0on't get your point? Sure I never said they weren't doing a good job.

    Evenbalance could be better but hey there are others aswell.
    Love being accused of hacking, but hate getting kicked for suposidly being so.

    Hah what a chancer, cheats and then comes here and lies about not cheating! Tis good to see pb works, all it tends to do is annoy and ya tend to forget it does catch these guys!

    So robby what makes it true that you are right? What makes you think am lieing?

    If I did cheat do you think I would be better off not appealing then then go buy a brand new game and change my alias.? I cheat on a secure server? Its like playing and using a cheat on a CS Vac server. Its stupid.

    I made an honest mistake and I hate to see my bloody name on that pd list. If I wanna use an aim bot I would have a better way.

    To Toughy ask some dude on the Irish server I cant remember his alias starts with P! When I was kick the first thing I did was ask him "What is aimbot? I just got kicked because I have aimbot".

    Peace


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 983 ✭✭✭Hercule


    this guy is a spoofer

    he was trying to get a rank 55 profile to get all ranks/weapons/gun camos and ended up getting the "mombot" multihack (or at least a trace of it) - the most readily available and easily detectable hack for call of duty games. The fact u didn't know what an aimbot was just makes u sound like more of a tit.

    Let me state clearly (again) as someone who knows the ins and outs of PB (been a pb admin for almost 4 years now) that this isnt something you can get by accident - also dont go thanking evenbalance - they do a sh1t job at catching hackers. Without good server admins streaming to third-party sites and checking their server often nobody would be punished for hacking.
    If I did cheat do you think I would be better off not appealing then then go buy a brand new game and change my alias.? I cheat on a secure server? Its like playing and using a cheat on a CS Vac server. Its stupid.

    I was the admin responsible for your global banning (it was on our Irish E-Sports TDM server) - pbbans turned your appeal down immediatley because it was 100% certain - id say Rodeobob didnt even blink as he clicked DENY.

    Everyone point and laugh at the sap that self-owned himself and wont admit it

    Has anybody played any clan matches against a clan called The Fighting Irish? http://www.tfi-clan.com

    I was on their server last night and did a pretty good job of annhiliating a few of their members, specificially a TFI player called "The Dog" who whenever he was killed by anybody (not just me) would just say "bulls***t" or "Bull" to anybody who killed him. After a good few kills he kicked me so I rejoined the server and said to me "did I say you could come back" and kicked me again. So wondering what I did wrong I rejoined yet again and quickly asked The Dog why was I kicked, and was told "because I was full of it" and kicked again. I tried to log on today and found I was permanently banned from the server. Should I worry that I have been cut off from some good CoD4 multiplayer competition (and that it will affect my ability to join other servers) or should I forget about it and keep hoping I bump into some Irish E-Sports/BiT players to test my skill or lack of it?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 983 ✭✭✭Hercule


    most .:iE/ members are banned from the TFI server, a few of us made a show of em one time on their own server so they banned a lot of us by clantag on sight - they generally ban anyone of a higher skill level (which is most of the community)

    being banned from the TFI server for being much better at the game then them is an achievement that should be listed in your profile - you arent missing anything not playing in their server

    Lol thanks for the compliment Kiri :D, by the way Goreman has his BB back up and running so he should be around a bit more again ;) .


    Anyway I wouldn't worry about it at all man, it'll be a local server ban which will only affect that particular server ( unless they copy their bans to all of their servers, in which case you will be banned from their servers and their servers alone. ) Its not a huge loss really, if they are that immature you'd probably better off looking for other servers.
