How to report myself? How about reporting others post-game?

I know this is a really strange question and I feel very weird asking it. I recently took advantage of possibly punishable exploits during ranked. I described these bugs and how I exploited them in the post and responses at

https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/Cage-zip-line-that-leads-to-exploits/td-p/9159476

and 

https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/Zipline-out-of-bounds-near-Hydro-Dam-Countdown-doesn-t-trigger/m-p/9135898

and I feel really bad about this. How would I turn myself in for such actions to see if some punitive response needs to be taken? Also, my teammates were involved (I don’t remember their  EA usernames; this was on PC) so should they be turned in as well? See the details in those posts/replies.

Thanks!

    I updated my original post to clarify that the two links I included in it were created by me and that they describe the events and other information of when the exploits were used.

    I just updated the original posts at those links in this thread’s original post and added replies to the threads at both of those links, so you may want to take a look there to get better information.

    @3enilly I wouldnt feel that bad about being in that spot if it is a bug. There are likely many spots like this on the maps. You certainly shouldnt be banned. You did the right thing reporting it as a bug and they should fix it.

    @3enilly  Hi, although bug abuse isn't generally looked upon in a positive light, as @hayhor  said you've basically balanced out that karma by reporting said bugs and making the team aware of them.

    If you really have your heart set on this though you can report yourself via the EAC website...i would strongly recommend against it though.

    To me it just looks like you've discovered a camping spot that respawn simply hadn't considered, so i mean really you've essentially just stress tested the out of bounds system for them and reported a loophole in that specific spot. 😛

    Yha, don't report yourself, consider it testing the bug and you reported it, what is the right thing to do. It doesn't really look like an exploit except for the out of bounds thing but I'll ping this for review just to make sure.

    Exploits are best reported by direct messaging a Community Manager.
    So if you find any more exploits, feel free to dm EA_Kent or EA_David to report them.

    @3enilly Don’t listen to the guys above! It’s your job as a gamer to exploit bugs in a system! If they didn’t want you exploiting them, they wouldn’t have had them in the first place! It’s your right... nay, your duty to exploit them to your heart’s extent!

    It’s just like making someone fall in love with you by doing stuff that person likes! You’re using an exploitative way to win that person over! If they didn’t want to be won over, (s)he wouldn’t have shown you their interest xD

    Philosophy is my business, mindbending is my territory!
