I made a change today across all the servers:

pv_sv_restrictions 1

Changed to:

pb_sv_restriction 2

This should kick anyone that has macro's enabled on their keyboard, if there are any objections to this let me know.

One could create some pretty wild macro's with the Logitech G15 or similar.

Not sure how this is going to work as I've never tested it before... just keep an eye out for any weirdness I guess.

Brief explanation from evenbalance:

PB_SV_Restrictions 2
The setting pb_sv_restrictions will now accept a value of 2 for cases where a server admin wants PunkBuster to be more restrictive with regard to certain macro or hot key type programs; pb_sv_restrictions will continue to default to the value of 1; admins who want to enforce the additional restrictions must configure "pb_sv_restrictions 2" either at the command line or in the pbsvuser.cfg configuration file in the server's pb folder

What kind of macros can be enabled? Can these macros be certain types of cheats? If so, what kind of cheats?

Essentially its like pushing one button that pushes many buttons for you, but they will be recognized by the game as standard keyboard strokes.

I'm not sure if macro's are "cheats"... but it could certainly give players an unfair advantage IMO.

I'll see of I can post up a few examples later on today.
