As 2023 comes to an end, we wish to extend our best wishes to our community members this holiday season.

This year marked our 20th anniversary of fighting cheaters. Hard to believe it's been 20 years and so much as changed from anti-cheat software to the games themselves.

To our donors, streaming admins and other supporters, we wish to thank you for all your support to keep PBBans alive throughout this past year. A big thank you to RedKilla, CU – DizzyKipper and }TG{TommyGun for going above and beyond to help keep our community online this year. We hope others will consider donating in 2024 if they are in a position to do so.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from all of us at PBBans.

We are currently forwarding the open appeals to Evenbalance for them to check. There has been an accumulation of appeals since Evenbalance ceased its trouble-ticket support for unknown reasons a considerable time ago.

If you have a ban appeal

We can only forward the appeal once, and if Evenbalance reports a valid ban, there is nothing further we can do to help. Your appeal will be denied, and it's up to you where you go from there. At this time, there is no front end support from Evenbalance due to the aforementioned ceasing of Evenbalance answering trouble-tickets.

Please note: Global bans are issued and maintained by Evenbalance themselves. We have no control over global bans. Some of you may also have global bans attached to the violation.

If you have a Punkbuster ban and are considering appealing

We will still need you to open an Evenbalance trouble-ticket even though it won't get answered. This is because the ban appeal system still requires you to submit one. All you have to do is paste the ban information in the ticket so we can corroborate the appeal with the violation and GUID.

Completion of existing ban appeals

This is likely to be finished after several weeks. A reply will be posted upon completion.

As 2022 comes to an end, we wish to extend our best wishes to our community members this holiday season. There is not much to post about this year again unfortunately but we will continue to be here in 2023.

It’s the end of another year and hopefully 2021 has been better than 2020 for our community members. There is not much to post about this year again unfortunately as more games have moved onto other anti-cheat solutions.

To our donors, streaming admins and other supporters, we wish to thank you for all your support to keep PBBans alive. It’s getting increasingly harder with the continued decline of game servers that use Punk Buster and with new games being released.

A big thank you to CU – DizzyKipper again this year for going above and beyond every month to keep our community online. We hope others will consider donating in the new year if they are in a position to do so.

Here we are at the end of another year. 2020 has not been good for many largely due to the pandemic. Death tolls, shutdowns, job losses, gathering restrictions and more has hit many hard this year.

Sadly HSMagnet passed away this fall. He devoted countless hours helping our community and served as a valued staff member for over 4 years.

To our donors, streaming admins and other supporters, we wish to thank you for all your support to keep PBBans alive.A big thank you to CU – DizzyKipper again this year for going above and beyond every month to keep our community online. Sadly many people have either lost their jobs or have suffered a decrease in income due to the pandemic. We hope others will consider donating in the new year if they are in a position to do so.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from all of us at PBBans and we hope 2021 will be a much better year for everyone.
