NO WAY TO REPORT HARASSMENT

When I encountered racial harassment, I tried to unsuccessfully report two players. I then leave the game because I don't want to play with people who want to be racially ugly but then I get penalized. EA does nothing to prevent racial harassment. There's no monitoring of chat or the potentially hurtful comments people make. Then I leave and I get a ten minute penalty and have ranked points taking away from me. Unacceptable. 

  • Poncho316​ There are two ways to report a player:

    First Way:

    1. While in a match, navigate to the squad tab, (you should be able to enter this tab at any point during the match):
    2. Click on the report icon below the offending player's banner card:
    3. From the list of report options, select "Inappropriate Chat / Content":
    4. Next, click on "Select Report Reason":
    5. Then click on "Inappropriate Chat":
    6. Lastly, click on "report":

    Second Way:

    • Head over to EA Help | Report a player
    • Fill out the form, (and be sure to provide any evidence that you may have)
    • Lastly, submit the form

    Some additional things to consider as well:

    1. When the match is starting, press the button that shows up next to "mute squad", (in my case, the button that I would press, would be "F"):Note: If you forget to mute your teammates at the start of the match, you can also open up the squad tab, and then manually mute your teammates from there:
    2. Another option, would be to go into your in-game settings, (which will be under the first settings tab), and then turn on the "Communication Filter" setting:

    This filter has 3 settings:

    • "Everyone" - All players are unmuted
    • "Friends Only" - Only your friends are unmuted
    • "No One" - Everyone is muted

      Note: Players who you had manually unmuted will remain unmuted, (so if you wish for them to be muted again, you would have to manually re-mute them yourself).

  • Racism isn't cool but if you are in a game with people being racist to you.. mute them, report them, and finish the game. When you leave a game before its over its not AI it doesn't know why you left it just knows you left. So yeah you're not wrong you just didn't handle it properly. And if you reported them before you left the report will still go thru and depending on they said most likely they will have some type of action taken against them.

    There’s a very easy feature they provide to stop these ridiculous and toxic players. It’s called mute.
