@RNM91494275 Hey there, I can assure you that no one with an offensive name is completely fine. If they do in fact have a name offensive racial or anything of the sort they do also meet the same fate. They did not single you out from the thousands of others who had horrible names it just finally caught up to you. The others are also punished knowing they had a name they might not should have used. 3 days is better than some names that land them a full out perma ban for the name they chose. I would not think to much into it just choose another name and enjoy the game. While your name in your head has a totally different stance of meaning it could mean something completely different to another.

Hey @E9ine_AC This is late, but while I agree that to be true, I think a ban just for a name that wasn't intentionally offensive is harsh. Players spent so much time and money into Apex just to be banned because the TOS was overly sensitive. I believe a warning should be put in place rather than a ban. I did some research and apparently offensive club names receive warnings instead of a ban, why is that? I was punished for my name and it was honestly not intended to offend anyone as it is a meme as well but I wouldn't think I'd get permanently banned for it. It's almost ridiculous. I've attempted to appeal my case but I was just told the usual response "You broke TOS, can't help you" deal, no mercy. I'm creating a new account but EA is not getting any of my money anymore.
