2k hour account banned

2000 plus hour account permabanned for a bad word in my display name. nothing racist or offensive, just simply the word [Edit] because im trans and thought itd be funnny. pretty upset about it honestly, i didnt expect a permaban for something like a crude word in a display name...  ive learned my lesson ive spent a lot of time and money on this account and having my entire EA account banned for it seems a bit excessive.

[Edit: Probably best that you don't use a name that got you banned, the same could happen here on ahq. Removed the name for you.]

    Unfortunately the EA staff who work here on AHQ cannot help you directly with account-related issues, such as bans, only the TOS team can help you.

    All the available information relating to your ban would have been communicated to you via the email associated with your EA account.

    You can also check out your ban history here, but please note not all bans may appear here:

    If you feel you have been incorrectly banned, the only thing you can do is to dispute any action taken against your EA account by following the steps in this article:

    https://help.ea.com/en/help/account/information-about-banned-or-suspended-accounts/

    There is also this EA guide on bans and suspensions :

    https://help.ea.com/en/help/account/electronic-arts-account-suspension-policy/#:~:text=A%20suspension%20is%20when%20we,a%20certain%20period%20of%20time.

    It is my understanding that you can appeal a ban a number of times, up to 3.

  • I know I have addressed this before in this forum.  I just think it is sad that people believe they can "own" a derogatory description of themselves.  I am black, I don't own the N word no matter how it is pronounced  or spelt.  It is a crying shame that the young people think for one hot minute this is cool and they don't even have the brains to realize they have been bamboozled.  Placing "My" in front of the N word is about as bad as saying "My slave".  The worse thing anyone can do is label themselves, when there are hate groups willing to do it for nothing.

    Now I personally don't believe people should get banned for using gutter talk. But if they got warned not to 3 or more times, I don't think they would have anyone to blame but themselves.  You need to bring your grievance  to EA and not the players about changes with the rules of their games.   We are not EA, we play here, and don't make the rules.

  • its even more rediculous when it comes to a MIC.

    a person can drive you to the edge, scream and curse all he/she/them/they want at someone over the mic. but when someone types one wrong word back bc he is tired of it and can't take it annymore.  you being banned.. kind of odd.
