Welcome to PBBans


PBBans is an online community for gaming server administrators running Punkbuster enabled games.
Our goal, through sharing and dissemination of information, is to educate administrators and stop online cheaters in their tracks.

We highly encourage your promotion of this site. Here is an animated logo for your website:



PunkBuster (PB) is an automatically self-updating client/server Anti-Cheat software system developed by Even Balance.
PB currently supports Quake III, Soldier of Fortune II, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, RTCW Enemy Territory, Rainbow Six 3: Raven Shield, Battlefield 1942 and Americas Army. Call of Duty and Battlefield Vietnam will be added in the near future.

PBBans works as a centralized meeting-place/library where server administrators can come together and pool their experience and information about cheaters. As cheats are caught by each individual server admin, through Punkbuster violations, screenshots or demos, they are added to the Master Ban Index (MBI). This MBI can then be filtered and downloaded to suit each registered server admin. The result being that cheats can be traced and banned from all servers administered by registered members. Allowing players to enjoy playing without the aggravation of unfair competition.

We at PBBans are striving to create and maintain a reliable and comprehensive ban index that you can trust. We will never place a ban on the MBI without proof from confirmed server administrators. Whether it be PunkBuster logs, screenshot or demo, the proof is indexed and stored at PBBans for future reference. There is even an appeal process in place for those that feel they have been incorrectly banned. Using our Master Player Index (MPI) you can look up any player and see a cross index of GUID's, Aliases, IP Addresses and bans as well as proof of any ban.

PBBans ask for you, the server administrators, to put in a small amount of effort submitting bans and sharing experience. In return we give you access to the MBI, MPI, special tools developed by PBBans and our growing userbase of server admins. Together as a community we can drastically reduce cheating on our servers and encourage others to join our cause. Click on our Forums to read all about the proposed system and provide us with some suggestions and feedback. You are also welcome to talk live with us and idle in our IRC channel.

Please note we are still developing PBBans. Due to the family loss, we hope to be back on track as quickly as possible.

If you have any questions, please visit our IRC room, post in our forums or send us an e-mail.

If you have come here because you have been banned from a server and received a PBBans.com message, you can view evidence of your ban by finding your GUID on our ban list. To dispute your ban, click on the forum link next to your GUID.
