and besides no ones yet mentiond that even pure and pb cant stop some cheats which are execution based, which are used asthe quake 2 exe file, so nothing stops them.
so you have pb which will stop some cheats, lags can be awkward to noobs and could be the factor in noobs not playing on some servers and old players having trouble coming back maybe, pb is down to discretion.
but good idea i agree with damnation pb could be on for clan wars, maybe turn it on just for a minute

Punk buster sucks well i dont mind it but does have alot of lagg and punk -buster servers dont have people on them....people is good to have....any way i have most all the cheaters banned now, and dont know when the last time i had to bann someone..pluss have good Mr.,admin that help admin when im not around like night time....I have learned alot about running server from people that started before..like Bro-Admins and they are some of busyest servers....AS far as CW and other Clan type games pb is good....but i would like to bring as many new peolpe as can bee and P{unk-buster makes it hard for them....and if some has to hunt me down once in awhile to kick some one NP happy to do it

Well PB haven't prevented new guys to come to the server, and when we notice pb foprce spec on them it oly takes 2 minutes to explain them what to do and how to do it, also I want to let you know that pb don't lag you as others claim, this server gives me the same ping as it was when didn't have pb on and I don't suffer of any lag at all so this is just some kind of missconception.
P.S. when I started playing quake some years ago and pr 1.32 came I never had a hard time to update or have my pb working properly, jsut was matter of hours before someone helped me, so that's no excuse either, when you want to play and find that have some problem you'll try to find help to solve it and be able to play again.

Well on first game pb was enabled as usual so if you have lag now must be related to something else, as I said I bever had lag on any pb server unless it is too far away from me.

quake dont give you right pingIf your server is using PunkBuster, you may want to try these settings in your generic.cfg or server.cfg:
PB_SV_AutoSs 0 // Set to 1 (default is 
if you want the PB server to regularly retrieve screen shots
Screenshots are known for causing lag due to the screenshots happening frequently and eating up bandwidth - causing the server to access the hard drive everytime.
The Quake 3 engine seems to have a problem calculating ping properly at /cl_maxpackets 100 so your ping may appear to have gone up slightly, but nothing has really changed

PB_SV_AutoSs is set to 0 as always have been, as I said I have the same ping I had when slip used to run the server with non pb.

: Khaz, I smell alcohol-induced nostalgia here!
: This game was so great, till today there’s no game that is better. Cant forget all the years playing this.
: Hey khaz. Yop would be nice to go back into the 2006 or 2007 for example and enjoy this game with all of those great people. We had a great times.
: Hello there.
I really wish I could travel back time to play with you guys once again and strafe around ermap3, this was so chilling.
Best regards, hope you’re all doing okay.
: hi _LB I SEE THAT TOO 2 spectators all day on the Carnage Elite server weird
: Sup.
: I see 2 spectators all day on the Carnage Elite server with random names and equal ping times. What's the story on this? Anyone?
: although it’s unlikely that anyone will go there xD
: Dear FREON server administration, maybe it’s a good idea to convert the CTF server to rail duel 1v1. r4e09f.cfg?? can anyone support me?

Of course PB should be used for CW's. If other admins don't want to run PB thats their perogative. I enjoy not having people try to hunt me down to go kick some cheater when I'm busy. Having PB on has been great for me and I wanted to start this thread to counter some of the false beliefs like PB lags players etc... If no one else in this community wants to enable PB thats cool.
I won't ever turn mine off. The worst I have suffered is having to explain to newcomers how to update their PB. Peace out Quakerz.
