Seriously you were banned for using the name AutisticPanda?
Actually there is nothing offensive about this name, and it's actually discrimination too. I bet the ACLU & ADA might enjoy this one.
I've actually seen many players with Lewd and Offensive names in this game too, so that's really sad.
So if someone had a nick called; SchizophrenicBoy they'd be banned too?
Hmm

Seriously this is pathetic, I actually have a family member who has a Spectrum Disorder and Schizophrenia who plays Apex all the time.
Oh yeah, and I seriously mean no one disrespect, but you allow Homosexual Legends and Lore in the game, and certainly seem to want us all to respect Gay Rights, also with the Gay Badge in the game, but oh no, no respect for people with Developmental/Intellectual Disabilities.
So if I am understanding this correctly you were banned using this name, shame on EA for this discrimination, when seriously you sholuld be showing support for Disabled Gamers!
Hell, there should even be a badge for Disabled players to proudly display, since you want to proudly display Homosexuality down our throats in this game, which actually happens to be a Moral Issue, not a Medical one like Autism is.
So how about it EA, don't you think it's time to start showing some love and support with a Badge for Disabled Gamers, no matter what their disability is, be it physical, psychological, developmental, intellectual, emotional etc...
WOW, rhetorically speaking, doesn't EA get, that actually a huge percentage of the gamers are disabled people, that is a fact. This is why they have no life and game to have a life, because they have problems, so they live behind the computer.
Thank you yes! That’s exactly what I said to them when I replied to my ban this is actually the 2nd time I’ve been banned because of the name. I play against hacker, Smurf accounts, people with ACTAUL offensive names every time I play the game.
Community ManagerHey @Autisticpanda3,
Sorry to hear about the trouble you've been running into with your account name.
We are not able to discuss or change any details about your account or the action taken here on the forums as these are public boards.
That said, one other thing to consider is that when a name is reported, we also have to take into consideration how it's commonly used or viewed by other members of the community, even if that may not be the intention.
Whether that's the case in this situation I wouldn't be able to say, however it's worth noting.
As far as the action itself, this can only be reviewed by our Terms of Service team and we would not be able to address it further or change it via the forums.
Please feel free to create an additional appeal so another member of the ToS team can review this, as we're unable to do so here, thanks.
I’ve appealed 3 times now and each time I haven’t actually talked to a real person I’ve just gotten automated messages I’m return. I understand that is situational for the names but I fail to see the harm of the word Autistic when it is just the name of a disability.
I can understand your frustration however normally one receives a message that they should change their handle before a sanction occurs.
Changing the handle and then submitting a case would have been the best way to go however it looks like you decided not to.
You mention you received two bans for this handle, from what I can tell you did not choose to change the handle after the first sanction and then received a second one.
Also of note if the handle is/was inappropriate in game it is probably also inappropriate here on the forum.
I wish you the best of luck however.
