If you had read our policy change regarding Punkbuster violations (putting it again here), you'd have understood that EvenBalance is both far from active (so they won't update that list even if they had the info) and extremely unreliable (they probably won't admit any new false positive ever).
The appeal being approved for this player is not a mistake.
Thanks. Out of curiosity, what's stopping this player from using cheats and flying under radar if there is no longer PB enforcements? What are the new methods for detection?
Don't get me wrong, PB as a process is still active and required to play, issues lies with EB.
When it comes to cheaters who go through then it's not much different than before, report to server admins for fast answer and 3d party anticheat like us.
Closing report since questions have been answered.
