When going online in a multiplay, the game logs onto a central master server to obtain a list of servers running the game. Your GUID contains highly encrypted fragments of your product code and is presented as the identity of YOUR GAME.

At regular intervals, the master server checks with the PB ban-list-server.

If you are blacklisted then you are kicked from PB-enabled games.
Server master admins can present screenshot evidence to PB to generate a ban. The main catcher is a scan on known PAK/driver hacks.

You can still play on non PB-enabled sites although they are a waste of time, they're full of idiots getting off on wall / skin / aim hacks and thinking they're good .

I believe that the new standard is a conglomerate GUID containing the MAC id's of crucial components eg graphics card, mobo and CPU. This enables a ban on the entire PC... a better kick in the pocket to cheats.

Check out the EvenBalance site for further info.

You have been banned from the server by a server admin or because of excessive teamkilling

I was in the game and they put a message up saying I was beeing banned for being on a master ban list

if banned for excessive teamkilling
the admin of the server has applied a local ban and you need to contact him for a ban query .. as always go armed with your guid .. the following is what i give out to anyone querying a ban with me:

1. Load up RTCW multiplayer
2. Bring down the console (should be the tilde key - above tab)
3. Type /pb_myguid and hit return
4. Type /condump guid.txt and hit return
This will create a text file in your Return To Castle Wolfenstein/Main folder named guid.txt containing the text from the console. Copy and paste the GUID from there and include it in any communication about a ban. Don't copy and paste your CD key.

are you sure pb is enabled
