Tired

Hi I know that this isn’t the place to get unbanned but rather I seek help from someone who knows a dev or whoever unbans accounts it has officialy been 1  year of me sending over 1000 emails to ea support to unban my apex account due to it being falsely banned by someone irl using my console to swear in chat while I was at work not knowing I left it on the night before to leave my game updating so I can return to the new season . I’m currently suffering from depression and it only getting worse I have no friends irl due to having server social anxiety and all I have to make me happy is gaming I miss my apex friends I genuinely don’t think I can take it anymore 😕. So please if u can help please help soon many thanks.

    At this point I do not think there is anything that can be done to get your account unbanned. See point 7 below, with that in mind leaving your console/account unsecured and others then use it with or without your permission is on you. Protecting your account starts with you. 

    Some tips below for the future. 

    Account Security/Safety

    How to keep your account and hardware safe 101:

    1. Use strong passwords for you game accounts. Keep track of your game account information (ownership) and to what other accounts they are connected to.
    2. Use strong passwords for the associated E-mail account. Keep track of your E-mail accounts and what they are connected to.
    3. Keep your gamming accounts, associated e-mail accounts and passwords up to date, login to them at least once a month so that they do not become disabled or de-activated.
    4. Do not use e-mail accounts that you cannot fully control, like those provided to you through, schools, universities, workplace and or other organizations etc. If the Org. revokes your E-mail or you leave the school, switch workplace etc and no longer have access to that E-mail you will end up having issues you do not want or need.  
    5. Do not share either of these passwords with others. Keep note of your passwords in a safe place.
    6. Enable two factor identification for both the game and associated E-mail accounts.
    7. Do not let others use your game account (Friends and family alike) because if they do something wrong on your account it is still your fault, nobody wants to have a sanction on their account because somebody else did or said something wrong.
    8. Do not use internet café’s to access your account and play, you do not know what software is on the hardware there, you do not know if the hardware at the cafe has a hardware ban and this can affect your account in a negative way.
    9. I would suggest only accessing your account with your own trusted hardware, gaming on another person’s hardware brings some of the same risks as above.
    10. I would also suggest not letting others use your hardware in order to play with their account, because if they get a hardware ban on your hardware while using it, it can have a negative affect on your account.
    11. Buying used hardware comes with risks as well. The hardware could have been banned and this is not an EA problem but a problem between the buyer and the seller. 
    12. Play nice with others, in other words do not de-mean, harass or bully others in Chat or over voice coms, both can be reported and that can also have a negative effect on your account.
    13. Use non-offensive user/gamer tag/club tags, if you get a warning about such change it, doing otherwise can lead to a negative effect on your account.
    14. Play fair, boosting and teaming are cheating.
    15. Play fair using cheating software or hardware is not fair and is really only cheating yourself.
    16. Do not buy and or sell accounts, do you really know what has been done with the account? What cyber info are you giving up? What risk is there that the account is bunk. What is the risk to your hardware?
    17. Re-read the Terms of Service agreement and the Terms of Sale agreement you agreed to play this game and adhere to it. https://www.ea.com/legal/user-agreement and https://www.ea.com/legal/terms-of-sale

    About points 7, 8, and 9, I do know that not everyone can afford multiple hardware setups for the entire family and there is trust that has to be there, talking about the does and don’ts on the use of shared hardware should be done so everybody can enjoy what they do on the hardware and everyone can be safe.

    If you believe you have been hacked take appropriate measures to secure your account and associated E-mail account https://help.ea.com/en-gb/help/account/secure-hacked-ea-account/

    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/

  • Also I saw a couple people who have 6 manned and have only gotten temporary ban  🙁🙁 wich kinda is unfair considering they have ruined another’s experience 

  • I am suffering same kind of thing. They have banned for cheating whereas I didn't any kind of thing. I keep asking for help but there are always sending same reply. 

  • c33f180ui89e​ Sadly, the only ones who can review the ban would be the EA TOS Team, (which means that you would need to go through the EA TOS Team as bans cannot be handled on the forums, on Discord, by a dev, etc.)

    Faiyaz-R​ If the reply says to "not expect anything further", that does unfortunately means that the ban will be upheld.

    That would not matter. As I pointed out letting others use your hardware and account by not securing it properly is the issue here. That is on the account owner. 

     

  • I’m feeling your pain I’ve Tourette’s syndrome and autism used one curse word in chat after being provoke in game chat so ask check ring for good of the team.. with no other problems over 15 years gaming ea yes and ban from all ea games not the game I was playing?!!

    yea I’m goner on this send them again get same word for response everytime so guess they really don’t look at cases.. I’ve played on this this new count past few days came across gamers who did same thing to me and reported them with replays from ea say thanks lettting us know but yea we don’t see nothing at this time oh by the way mute them or block them? So didn’t I get that courtesy when I just used one yes one curse word which totally out of my  health and control had not problems over 15 years gaming… this is crazy stuff..
