I deleted my last post. It was a big useless rant that I needed to post somewhere. I couldn’t do it to PBBans, Even Balance, or EA so I gave it to reddit.

I’m banned from all Punkbuster servers.

Multihack #79653. Apparently the number is for changed game files. I read that they changed Punkbuster code to crack down on code that was in previous versions of Battlefield files (which is really stupid and pisses me off). By the time I read that I should repair my game files, it was too late.

My appeal was denied by PBBans and Even Balance

EA told me what the number meant

I appropriately approached the authorities of PBBans and Even Balance and neither were helpful.

I got a fair share of warnings (2 minute kicks) but of course I didn’t change anything! (Actually I did. Uninstalled and reinstalled then updated Punkbuster after the 2nd kick) I didn’t know I was doing anything wrong!

My thought process was

> **1st kick:** Oh what the fuck? _Rejoin_  
> **2nd kick:** Seriously… _Searches internet_ ok update PB  
> **3rd:** Getting tired of this. I’m not multihacking!! _Rejoin_  
> **4th:** Oh my god _Rejoin_  
> **5th:** 1200 MINUTES??? FOR WHAT!?

I had thought it was a mistake every single time and I guess it wasn’t. I was guilty without knowing it.

The only hope is: I see a whole lot of other people being banned for the same “Multihack #79653” so maybe they’ll lift it because I’m sure those people didn’t do it on purpose either.

Thanks EA, PBBans, and Even Balance. You had a good run with my wallet. Buh-bye for now.

I’m not the only one!

Finally someone else on Reddit has the same retarded curse as me!

What curse? A ban for something you didn’t know you did?

Yeah. Hopefully it happens to more people so it comes to the attention of PBBans and they change something.
