battleye global bans

js2k6 · September 4, 2014

Hi all, this isn't really server installation help i require,

Just a question to other people who run servers

I have instances of players joining my server, getting booted for global ban

then minutes later rejoining with a different GUID

now i assume these are people who have hacked on a previous cd key

and have connected using the wrong steam account or something

but as a server owner, is there any tools or website available where i would be able to check the reason for the ban?

just in case this is someone who literally just got caught and is spoofing their guid

You can't check the reason for a global ban, however, you only get gb'd for 2 reasons

1. Hacking

2. Downloading stuff from un-secure sources and getting your key stolen, enabling hackers to hack on the account

On our server, anyone who is global banned and rejoins is banned, as our motto is, once a hacker, always a hacker.

thanks for your help guys

the steam id tip is a really good one.

i tend to give benefit of the doubt for the most part, but if anyone comes up with a global ban we watch them a lot more closely.

i'd just rather not assume guilt until i've witnessed something with my own eyes.

but seeing the crap we get on our heavily populated server, and seeing how populated your servers are MGT. I think we'd do the same
