If you're asking how to get around it, it depends on whether you have a static IP address or not. But I will say no more

a player was cheating.
just searched google and found this
Help! My IP address is on the PBL! What should I do?
Nothing, in most cases. Read through this FAQ for further explanations.
The first thing to know is: THE PBL IS NOT A BLACKLIST. You are not listed for spamming or for anything you have done. The PBL is simply a list of all of the world's dynamic IP space, i.e: IP ranges normally assigned to ISP broadband customers (DSL, DHCP, PPP, cable, dialup). It is perfectly normal for dynamic IP addresses to be listed on the PBL. In fact all dynamic IP addresses in the world should be on the PBL. Even static IPs which do not send mail should be listed in the PBL.
PBL listings do not prevent you sending email unless your email program is not authenticating properly when it connects to your ISP or to your company's mail server. This can happen if you have forgotten to turn on 'SMTP Authentication' or if you have switched 'SMTP Authentication' off by mistake.
If you are using a normal email program such as Outlook, Entourage, Thunderbird or Apple Mail and you are being blocked by a Spamhaus PBL listing when you try to send email, the reason is simply that YOU NEED TO TURN ON 'SMTP AUTHENTICATION' in your email program's account settings. That will solve the problem for you. See: How do I turn on SMTP Authentication?
Server admins who need help with SMTP AUTH can find lots of information for most servers such as Sendmail, Postfix, Exim, Qmail, Exchange, etc.

If you've been banned from a site, you should attempt to contact the site administrator and ask if they will unban you.

Nobody should be able to make a worldwide ban on the basis of one website's policies. I suggest that you contact Spamhaus and request them to explain why you have a received a worldwide ban on the basis of one complaint!

What the PBL is intended to be used for is detection of operations not normally associated with a dynamic IP. For example it is unusual to find a mail server on a dynamic IP. Mail originating from one is likely to be from a compromised PC, so probably spam. However posting in forums would normally be allowed.
Are you sure being on the PBL is the only reason for the ban?
