Re: T bag ban

@EA_Atic I am not usually toxic but 🥅 nce in a while I tea bag, in the end can I get banned for tea-bagging in apex or other of your games?

@zoubedou 

I personally think that some forms of taunting is fine, like t-bagging or some quips / voice lines that can be used for taunting.

Well, I also think it's possible to receive a ban if you receive a lot of player reports, though of course that ban would have to be based on something, so tbagging will most likely not end up in you getting banned as far I'm concerned.

If it might help, I can't seem to find any sources that mention EA banning players for teabagging, so it's either extremely rare or it doesn't happen. 

Thanks for the info, I’ll still wait for @EA_Atic to be sure 

Hi @zoubedou 

@EA_Atic Isn't in the office right now but while you wait I'll refer you over to the Rules of Apex Legends 

The rules don't call out "teabagging" as a bannable offense. As long as you aren't crossing the line into harassment or abuse you should be fine.

I’ll still wait for @EA_Atic response to be 100% sure but thanks for providing the links and for the additional information 

Yeah I saw the tournament thing, I will still wait for @EA_Atic @to be 100% sure

Imagine, the game wouldn't be fun then. How would you show your dissatisfaction towards some cringelord? 😒

If you’re trying so hard in pubs and is a 3 stack masters/pred, you’re definitely getting the bag from me. 

I had a masters wraith kill me like 8 times in control. She teabagged me every single time. At first I was annoyed but by the end I was laughing. She owned me.

Does the in game reporting even have a function to report. Doesn't seem to go under any category. Kind of impossible to put under harassment when there are no comms to enemy squads.

It's community interpreted but it is someone just crouching up and down. They don't take their trousers off, so visually just a motion.

Some finishers animations are designed about mocking anyway. i.e. Fuse finisher "Helping Hand" where he pretends to revive you, winks then smack you down again. So that's designed to mock another player.

Lets say someone strafes left and right whilst shooting a box. Would that be interpreted as rude as well...

What about jumping up and down on a box or doing it next the box so it's indirect.

Eventually ban based on mocking a death box in any shape or form due to interpretation from internet or how another person perceives it...going a bit far. EA going to review every video footage sent? That's thousands of clips a day.

Far bigger problems. The toxicity isn't from enemy squads, it's comms from own team mates who seem to have personal issues.

@EA_Atic Hey! Don’t want to ping you too much sorry, just want to know for sure, is tea-bagging ban-able in apex or any other of your games?

Really?

@zoubedou 

If you think it might be a bad thing to do then just do not do it and you are assured that you will be safe from at least that. 

Yeah, I don’t usually tea-bag but I did like 2-3 times in the past

Haha this is definite for sure

@CCbathwater 

Thousands of Baggins, that would be Gollum's worst nightmare.

@hayhor 

Great minds think alike.

"Baggins, I am looking for Baggins", "Do you know where to find them".

@Asmodeus566 careful what you wish for 😃
