Re: username considered offensive?

@rooktheythem 

Welcome to the forum.

I am pretty sure that you probably received a warning to change the username before the perma bann happened. 

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/

Please note that no one here on the forum can provide any further assistance with bans or suspensions.

  • i did not receive any warnings at all prior to my suspension relating to this issue. i have appealed and got denied. im not here to ask for help with my ban. im here to ask how on earth this is fair and how my name is considered offensive. and you state the needs of many come before the few. whilst i understand that fully and totally agree who are the many? */transphobes who get offended at me being open about my gender identity? because if so i feel like respawn is focusing on catering towards the wrong parties. especially with them recently adding a trans character i feel like issues like this should not be happening. in fact it should be happening less. i regularly get called slurs and get homophobic remarks yet nearly all return as a nothing has been done. yet i get banned for having trans in my name? surely this shows something about the way the ingame name/communication system works. whilst i understand that i have previous chat infractions for cussing etc. such as a 7 day ban for calling someone a sweaty F**k not in an insultory tone mind you.  i received 0 warnings about my name and instead just got instantly banned.

    @rooktheythem Well let’s clearify first that Ea does not cater to the wrong parties… they do a lot to support the lgbt community else half the legend roster wouldn’t be a lgbt person.
    And that is even unnecessary for info, it shouldn’t matter what a legend is into in the first place since it’s a shooter and not a rpg. But still they do it to support it.

    Secondly why do you even feel the need to let everyone know that you are trans ?Ea does not know if you are a trans person or not, what they see is someone with trans and monster in their name.

    Sorry for the attacks you receive for that wich is ofc not acceptable unfortunately you will have still people beeing against it, and all your name does is bait them into reacting.

    As an outside Person it even looks like you bait people with it on purpose because I simply cannot understand why you would give personal information like this arround to everyone. I am also not putting into my name what I am into and how many children I have.

    Regardless if you are trans this is ofcouse a false ban and I hope you get unbanned

    @matzesingt <----- Exactly what they said. The name probably got reported and went through the automated system with keywords. The best way to avoid this is to not use names that can be used against you.

    @rooktheythem 

    Just so you know the StarTrek reference is part of my signature line, please do not mind that.

    I see where you are coming from and as @hayhor stated it is probably best to stay away from some words. Do keep in mind that you stated that you have had previous infractions, that was meant to be plural right? So with that in mind use of a possibly inflammatory gamer tag and multiple previous infractions does not help.

    I would also never ever repeat what caused me a seven day ban in the game here on the forum either, if it was not OK in game why would you think it is OK here?

    Re-read the Terms of Service agreement and the Terms of Sale agreement you agreed to, to play this game and adhere to it. https://www.ea.com/legal/user-agreement and https://www.ea.com/legal/terms-of-sale

    Like I said before no one here on the forum can actually help you with your case. 

  • i apologise for mentioning your quote as i did not realise it was part of your signature. and i apologise for my irrational thinking as i am currently rather annoyed at my situation so i sincerely apologise

    @rooktheythem It stinks but that's the way things are now. People will report others for anything even if there is only a slight chance.
