@err0r710 As far as i'm aware EA have taken a strong stand with regards to toxic behaviour on their games, which is all to do with something called "positive play charter".
I'm not privy to the inner workings and how they decide how severely to punish offenders of course, however generally speaking its usually either;
A) An accumulation of offenses, leading to more severe bans each time.
B) straight to more severe bans if they offense was particularly bad.
Now i guess none of this really helps you, and honestly I doubt EA will upturn said ban as they seem to feel justified. I would personally say a hardban across all titles is somewhat harsh though, especially if this is your first offence.
All i can suggest is you exercise more caution with player interactions when playing other games in future...you're always going to run into idiots online and they just ain't worth the energy lol. x.x
Arguments happen from time to time. That's normal and in my opinion completely natural. But we have to remember: We are dealing with words. The least of my concerns in online games. There are players who completely ruin a match for players by doing the exact opposite of team play. This is one of the reasons why I'm strictly playing no-fill. I find that a greater offense than language used, and still not worthy a permanent suspension.
Some players are a little more prone to being poked at. I just had this happen a small while ago where I pointed out that someone apparently doesn't want to stick to the group and instead make us lose the match in a sarcastic manner. He responded with all sorts of screaming, yelling and insulting. So what? I just didn't listen and moved on. No need for a report. Especially now I may reconsider reporting people because - while I do want them to potentially suffer a punishment - I don't want them to be completely removed from the game. If I ever catch wind that one of my reports has caused a permanent suspension of some random individual, I'm never going to forgive myself for that.

You don't encourage positive play by blocking out any negativity with a mighty hammer. You're controlling it with force. You remove anyone who has done an offense and strike fear into others who catch wind of it. I for one have decided for now to just leave my hands off the Voice Chat and chat in general, because I don't want to come across people who are very volatile and immediately hit the report button at the smallest offense or sarcasm I put out. I do have quite some value in my account. It may harm my communication with my teams, but in a grand perspective yields higher security for me.
