Is it possible for a clan to just get me PB banned? I just tried logging in and the game is telling me that I have been globally banned. The last time I played bf2 some smart ass in a clan (I think its OG) told me to stop attacking him or he'd ban me. I told him to get bent and keep flying (he was in a MIG and I was killing him with a F35). Last I remember I got kicked. And now when I go and log in I get this.

So is it possible for someone to use thier privelages on a ranked server to dish out a guid ban? If that is so I am going to start dishing out some bans to some random people too, *just because I do not like them and they kill me often*.

Currently I am pissed off. I hope this is only a game id based ban, since I can get my mitts on a endless supply of bf2 cd's (my brother is a manager at a local EB). PB is hopeless when it comes to this, they will gladly ban someone but they have no means of restoring it and thier support is about as good as that offered by EA. Going to try playing with the admin features on my ranked server and see if I can randomly dish out PB bans...

If you are an Admin on your server, then you know they can only ban you from their server. Do you get this message only when you try to connect to their server or it's when you try to logging to your account?

If it's the second one, then it's a Global ban from PB and it's because PB reacted to someting on your PC, nothing to do with that clan.

I just checked through the admin commands of the server and I did not find anything. It is a PB global ban. The other games that I play Quake 3 (yes its old) and Enemy Territory dont work either. I sent Even balance a trouble ticket.

This sucks. I spent some time trying to get that confounded knife badge too.

Guess I have to go back to playing Oblivion untill this is sorted out. Going to go and get a new BF2 cd tommorow and test it out.

If it's a global ban, a new CD won't fix your problem

If it is a global ban it's probably the result of an attempt to hack the PB system.
If your cd key has been stolen to hack PB, they should be able to find in their records that someone from a different place has used the same cd key.
This share can also be intentional, i'm afraid it won't be easy to lift that ban. Good luck.
