ANTI-CHEAT UPDATES
NEW IN-MATCH NOTIFICATIONS
A new feature that launched during Resurrection is live: in-game notifications for banned players. This notification will appear in the kill feed when a player in your current match has been removed. This alert will only be triggered by our anti-cheat systems and will not display when someone quits a match, loses connection or is kicked for AFK. This is the first of many steps the team is taking to improve visibility and player feedback when users are actioned.

I'd say they are active, but don't really kiss and tell, to maintain security around what they are doing.
The cheating world is constantly evolving, so is game security.

"I swear these community volunteers are fun as hell and probably belive what they preach.""
They are an appeasement, exactly like the EA reporting system, designed to make average people THINK they really care! When, in reality, it's all just a layer of insulation! Insulating EA from the public backlash for actually doing very little to help the player base!
Nothing really gets done except some token bans, harsh words and empty promises!
The simple truth is... EA is ran only for the greater good of it's stockholders with the only goal of making the most money for the least effort!
Nothing will ever change until the games are sold back an independent company that believes in GAME INTEGRITY! Unfortunately, this will never happen as long as the game is profitable!
