Are You Serious?

Played BF3 today on 1 of the servers I got this message "Game disconnected: you were kicked by PunkBuster. Stated reason: PunkBuster kicked player 'TAW-m4ch1n4FTW' (for 1200 minutes) ... PBBans.com enforced a previous MBi Ban for TAW-m4ch1n4FTW. [Admin Decision]"

The only game I got banned before was BF4 on the same account AND WHAT THE F IS PBBans.com ????

Title edited to remove ALL CAPS.

    you have a pbban.  thats a 3rd party site.  

    the server you are playing on is taking the ban from pbban and making it a ban on their server.

    It might have been a different game, but they can enforce cross game bans.

    you appeal here https://www.pbbans.com/appeal-ban.html

    a pbban is not a punkbuster ban. pbban take violations (which punkbuster kicks for) and turns them into bans for their plugin.)

    @d-_-b_m4ch1n4_OG It sounds like you've been banned by Punkbuster, an anti-cheat plugin which a lot of server owners run. You can appeal the ban at PBBans.com.

    Yes. BUT I was banned in a different game now, just because I use the same ID I got banned on other game.

    Server admins have the ability to choose to have players who have been banned in other games to be removed from servers they host via a plugin. You've not officially banned in BF3 but the server that you tried to play on had a more stringent level of security chosen. As @StarscreamUK stated your only course of action is the find another server or appeal your current ban in the other game.
