That is old news, and plus there are a multitude or workarounds to bypass the hardware banning.
Personally, the best way to combat cheating is with technical solutions, not the PB retroactive banning system. Publicly humiliating users will only encourage them to keep doing what they originally got 'banned' for, because they have nothing to lose. /ges At 05:27 PM 10/25/2005, Bryan wrote:
This is true but other gaming industries are doing global bans. For example if you are caught doing certain cheats in BF2 your hardware id is banned. Not only is your ban permenant in BF2, the player is globally banned in any games supported by PB. It is a start in the right direction. It at least makes a cheater/hacker feel the pain for their actions. IMHO until you take the anomnimite of gaming away people will still hide behind their computers and get away with as much as they can. Crazy_One
