uncomprehending ban code

 
ERROR
Game disconnected: you were kicked by PunkBuster. Stated reason: PunkBuster permanent ban issued on this Game Server for player 'JohnsonCalmDown' ... Prior Kick/Ban
 
what is this??
server admin's told me  ' you are  not in the ban list.'   and server admin initializes the ban list for me.
but still i can't  join. I'm not hacker, not troller just noob...
 
have a good day.

    Just play in Other servers, the admin to that server gave you the ban for whatever his reasoning was.

    Assuming you are "JohnsonCalmDown"...

    Looks like you were previously banned from the server...or so the server says.

    Assuming when you say "server admin told you[...]" you are referring to a player/admin, not EA customer support.

    Talk to Customer Support and see if you are on the ban list for that server (have server name ready if possible).  You can also navigate to the punkbuster website to see if your name appears on that list.

    Additionally, if it is a rented server, you can be banned by the owner/admin (the actual players, not an employee of EA or Dice) no matter the game type.  This includes "Official" game type which can be accessed via standard use of "Quick Match".  They can ban you for literally any reason they want...stupid I know.

    The message you received could be a custom message the owner/admin created as a ban message for you in particular.  So, also check with the actual leasee of the server to see if you may be on their list.

    Note to all:  If you play on a rented server, managed by players...either make sure it isn't a 12 year child or make sure you don't do too well...cuz that 12 year old (mentally or actually 12 years old) will ban you for kicking his behind and destroying his stat padding.

    If I was dumb enough to rent a server, I would so start a blog page collecting all the user names of owners/admins that ban for stupid reasons and troll the * out of them on my server when they pop up LOL.

  • Do not speak with customer support, EA support cannot help you regarding a local server ban. I checked PBbans and you did not come up in the list, so this is most likely a local server setting and could be a bug in their overlay or settings.

    If the local server admin team cannot clear it up you'll just have to find another server since EA cannot do anything to allow you to play on that server.
