    We can't help with banned accounts through Answers HQ. For more information, as well as instructions for submitting a dispute, please see the following article.

    I'm now locking this thread since ToS will need to investigate your account to determine if the ban should be overturned or not.

  • @klausryzenson The moment you and your mates turn on friendly fire..

    Okay jokes aside, well i'd suggest to appeal to the actual support, taking stance, will be your best and only bet.
  • @klausryzenson The system might of detected the abbreviation as a bypass to the filter or that player had reported you back, (perhaps both happened). You should go to help.ea and create a case about the problem and include the video evidence if you still have it, as neither other players or EA fourm Admins are able to help you here.

    I also recommend not saying anything in text or voice chat towards toxic or rude players in the future as unfortunately a lot of players just bait and flame others into responding back to them, and then those toxic/rude players just play the victim card because they think it's funny if they can get someone else banned for reacting to them.

    One other thing is that if you get unbanned, change the chat setting to either "no one" or "friends only". It doesn't always work, but it will block 99.9% of these kinds of people from ever being able to insult you in the first place.
  • Hahah that is harsh but on the other hand, you cant really expect automatic banning systems to be able to assess the context of what words are being said. They just ban you based on a list of certain words and variations of those words (misspellings etc).  I realized that its just better to never use the in-game chats at all and definitely not get drawn into their stupid toxicity game. I always have to remind myself when people are flaming me: "why would I ever feel the need to engage in an argumentation with this loser" haha

  • @klausryzenson Howdy! As others have mentioned, the text chat bans are automatically handed down when key words/phrases trigger the system, and it doesn't look at context. Unfortunately though, account bans are not something that any of the EA staff on this forum are able to assist with, as these matters are solely handled by the ToS team. You will need to submit an appeal to them (link down below), with any information/videos/documentation you have, and await email response.

  • i was playing the game as always, a guy started shouting the n word. I was recording at that time and i thought if i say that im recording while he saying the n word he would shut up and play the game and that happened he shut up and played the game and we won but i got banned for saying that like WTFFF. You maybe thinking rn thats automatic system that happens sometimes, well listen this my case is DECLINED. WHAT THE ACTUAL *. İ spend 1000 hours in this game and too much money. This is what i get in return. Just wow 

  • @klausryzenson I can vouch for this kind of attitude players have these days and these backwards bans. My friend was privately messaged by a player calling him trash and other things. He responded with profanity no doubt because the person was calling him nasty stuff. How about making that ban go both ways at least? I’m sure they even sent that person an email saying their report led to a ban. My friend never reported because he’s not trying to sucker people into reporting. It’s one thing if these players weren’t also violating the TOS. This kind of banning promotes trolls.

    Yeah it seems like the automated system flags "n word" due to it lacking context, which is understandable.

    Sadly enough nothing can be done here on AHQ to resolve this issue.

    You could try opening another case unless they specifically mentioned that you shouldn't submit any further cases.

  • i understand that automatic system can be wrong sometimes but why did my ban apply get rejected like who reviewed my case
