EA has banned my main account permanently

hello

so the thing is i have an account which i made when the game was launched i have put in 6 years of heart and soul in it collected many skins and even bought lot of stuff 

and today it got banned permanently because i said (typed)
'you guys are **bleep**" in one of my games 

now i cant even access EA help to discuss over this as my account is banned its not even letting me in to talk over the ban issue 

seriously EA  i have not said the worst thing ever that you banned my id permanently 

very sad move from EA

    so the gist is you can't type bad words in game chat but you can use any king of language over microphone and you wont get banned

    suspension of an account for being toxic i understand and even getting increased time on suspension of account i understand but banning an account permanently over it is something i don't understand 

    i had that account from almost the day apex legends was launched and you guys permanently banned it

    6 years i gave every thing to this game with legit game play and i am permanently banned for being toxic 

    please review your policies 

    its not that i am doing it in every game or everyday 

    do you understand gamers get toxic sometimes

    See Points 11 and 12, you may also want to re-read the user agreement.

    Account Safety

    How to keep your account and hardware safe 101:

    1. Use strong passwords for you game accounts. Keep track of your game account information (ownership) and to what other accounts they are connected to.
    2. Use strong passwords for the associated E-mail account. Keep track of your E-mail accounts and what they are connected to.
    3. Do not use e-mail accounts that you cannot fully control, like those provided to you through, schools, universities, workplace and or other organizations etc. If the Org. revokes your E-mail or you leave the school, switch workplace etc and no longer have access to that E-mail you will end up having issues you do not want or need.  
    4. Do not share either of these passwords with others. Keep note of your passwords in a safe place.
    5. Enable two factor identification for both the game and associated E-mail accounts.
    6. Do not let others use your game account (Friends and family alike) because if they do something wrong on your account it is still your fault, nobody wants to have a sanction on their account because somebody else did or said something wrong.
    7. Do not use internet café’s to access your account and play, you do not know what software is on the hardware there, you do not know if the hardware at the cafe has a hardware ban and this can affect your account in a negative way.
    8. I would suggest only accessing your account with your own trusted hardware, gaming on another person’s hardware brings some of the same risks as above.
    9. I would also suggest not letting others use your hardware in order to play with their account, because if they get a hardware ban on your hardware while using it, it can have a negative affect on your account.
    10. Buying used hardware comes with risks as well. The hardware could have been banned and this is not an EA problem but a problem between the buyer and the seller. 
    11. Play nice with others, in other words do not de-mean, harass or bully others in Chat or over voice coms, both can be reported and that can also have a negative effect on your account.
    12. Use non-offensive user/gamer tag/club tags, if you get a warning about such change it, doing otherwise can lead to a negative effect on your account.
    13. Play fair, boosting and teaming are cheating.
    14. Play fair using cheating software or hardware is not fair and is really only cheating yourself.
    15. Do not buy and or sell accounts, do you really know what has been done with the account? What cyber info are you giving up? What risk is there that the account is bunk. What is the risk to your hardware?
    16. Re-read the Terms of Service agreement and the Terms of Sale agreement you agreed to play this game and adhere to it. https://www.ea.com/legal/user-agreement and https://www.ea.com/legal/terms-of-sale

    About points 7, 8, and 9, I do know that not everyone can afford multiple hardware setups for the entire family and there is trust that has to be there, talking about the does and don’ts on the use of shared hardware should be done so everybody can enjoy what they do on the hardware and everyone can be safe.

    If you believe you have been hacked take appropriate measures to secure your account and associated E-mail account https://help.ea.com/en-gb/help/account/secure-hacked-ea-account/

    If you believe that a sanction (Suspension/Ban) placed on your account was by mistake you should reach out to the Terms of Service team https://help.ea.com/za/help/account/information-about-locked-or-banned-or-suspended-accounts/
