Account Falsely Banned

It's been a little more than 3 weeks of being permanently banned on Apex Legends for something I did not do.

It's been so unfair to me because now I'm going to miss out on special in-game events and new items for my favorite characters, and mostly playing the game I love most and that's kept me so happy for the last almost 2 years. I've only been suspended once, which was a 1 week suspension last March, and I've never had any other suspensions since then. Since my account was involved in an, and only the second, incident that took place nowhere in my knowledge or control, I've been permanently banned when the rules say that a user's account is supposed to get a 2 week suspension after the second violation takes place. So how does it make sense to permanently ban someone, whether they're the cause of an incident or not, after they've only had a 1 week suspension for their first ever violation and not even receive the 2 week suspension for their second violation??

If anyone or any of the community managers can help me bring this up to whatever team that deals with suspensions and bans, please do so? Because I want that to be justified.

  • Heya @houndofjustice21 

    As far I'm aware, Community Managers don't really assist with such issues, even if it's just putting in a word for someone that got banned.

    Next to that, AHQ is a community forum, so overall account issues like bans cannot be helped with on here.

    In this case you'll still have to go through the normal process of contacting the TOS team if you want to dispute the ban.

    Bans are also decided on a case-by-case basis, so actions don't always follow a pattern, hence why some players might get permabanned before even getting a temporary suspension.

    More information on how to contact the TOS team can be found here: https://help.ea.com/en-gb/help/account/information-about-locked-or-banned-or-suspended-accounts/

  • I called this guy a dumb@** ta** because he called my teammates the hard R. Yes I have hate speech violations from before. But the fact that they choose me over a lot of acc is kinda a really bad leading action. I was over lvl 500 with an airloom. I'm honestly glad I got banned because the game is going downhill extremely fast. So honestly bro dip out on the game there are way better games out there anyway

    The language you're posting in isn't supported on Answers HQ.

    Maybe one of these would suit you better:

    If you do not speak one of those languages, then please check out the help.ea.com site which is available in a variety of languages and provides help across all EA titles. Have a look through the drop down Menu in the bottom right of the web page for a list of supported languages.

    Or alternatively you could repost in English.

    I’ve also been banned from my account playing Battlefront. They said I was cheating. I also asked them to tell me specifically how I supposedly cheated, and their answer was something like, “we cannot discuss our policy upholding procedures”, or some kind of garbage like that. 
    I know for a fact that I did not cheat, and it bothers me that I would be accused of such. My 12 year old boys play as well, and we have the game on 2 computers. Sometimes we play together online. They only banned it on one account, but not the other. They are both linked to my account. Neither of my boys even have the knowledge on how to cheat, because I’ve raised them better. I purposely have not allowed them to be able to find that out. I really hope that EA will investigate properly and not just ban on hearsay, or assumptions.
