Where have the hw-bans gone?
Back in the days if you got busted for hacks and PB kicked you from server you got hw-banned and you couldn't play anymore with your hard disk, but nowadays I haven't heard of HW-bans anymore.
Why doesn't Punkbuster give them anymore? Cheaters only get a red triangle into Yawn.be, but hw-bans would be a better way to prevent the "I'm just gonna test this hack and if I like it I'll continue to play with it!" cheaters from testing free detectable cheats. You easily get rid off a red triangle with a guidspoofer, but if you had to buy a new hdd after every bust and pb-kick cheating would be more expensive.
Mr.Punkbuster, please start giving HW-bans again!

pb still gives hwbans for pbhooks etc.
but delayed and only in 110% proof cases.
in fact you easily get rid off your hw-ban the same way!
