Not sure why I was banned?

I think there might have been a mistake? I never teamkill, at least not on purpose. But when I tried to play on TFC Wake server today it says I was banned for excessive Teamkilling?? Any info on this?

You were banned back in 2011/04/21 for refusing to turn off antialias.

Oops, I was confusing this server with another server. In any case, I'll turn off ani-alias if that will allow me to be un-banned? Also, out of curiosity, why is that rule in effect? Haven't heard of that before.

I will have to check with the member who banned you first.

ani-alias can sometimes interfere with screen shots.

How many servers are you banned from?

Thanks for the info. I only play on a few servers nowadays. mostly Nunya, but I always enjoy a little Wake. I don't know how many servers I'm banned from, probably a few, but I've been playing this game since it came out, and if you play with me you know that I'm not a d-bag. Far from it. Anyway, I'll check back and if un-banned I'll turn off anti-alias.

Thx

Ban lifted
What DangerousDoug said its true.
We verify all players taking screenshots and depending on the windows version and graphics card antialias interfere with the process.

Good deal, thanks for the unban. Ill disable antialias.

How do I know if I am using that? Is it in the options? I am running Windows 7 with Intergrated Card

Go to video setting and there you'll see the option

Do you have to turn if off in both the video card settings and bf2 settings ?

Yes

Oh ok. Thanks X! I'll look into it later. I never take screenshots anyhow lol so I wouldn't know! I've been playing for months on the TFC server and other servers as well (a few times) and never had any complaints ... so I guess I'm good to go!?

Screenshots are not the regular screenshots taken while you are playing.
These screenshots can be taken only by admins in a server.
We dont kick all players for antialias.
We only kick players doing suspicious kills.
A screenshot shows you what a player is watching on his computer when the screenshot was taken.
The decision about kicking players for antialias depends on every server.
I will try to explain you why we do it.

Check the next screenshot.
In fact, thats you playing.




When antialias is on and depending on the video card and windows version, screenshots taken produce a black screenshot.




The next screenshot shows a player using hacks.




Screenshots can help us to analyze a player.
After analyzing screenshots, we check the player´s stats and previous bans, then we decide if we ban a player.

Awesome ... thanks for taking your time to explain it! Appreciate it


Learning how to hack Tracker ..... found it!!
