Re: Keep getting suspended over in-game names I've used for numerous seasons

I've edited your post to remove the profanity. If it's inappropriate or led to an account action, probably best not to repeat it on the forums. Thanks!

Our Terms of Service team (ToS) can take a look if you fill out the webform to send in an appeal to them. Saying that, contacting the ToS team is only advisable if you believe the ban you received was added by mistake/no rules were broken. There is no purpose reaching out to the ToS team aside from that as they will not overturn bans if the rules were broken and creating appeals for legitimate bans adds more to the queue and causes the wait times to spike.

The only rule that was broken in my eyes was the person or people abusing and spamming false reports cause they got killed. I stated from EA's own TOS what the problem is. I'm not the one violating rules. The first two names obvious pushed the line for appropriateness but the last 2 I have literally used for nearly 8 seasons. I have 7000+ hrs in apex. Many people have seen the name and only now all of a sudden there is a problem with them? I mean the fact EA is more on top of suspending people for funny names instead of banning hackers is astonishing. I really think priorities need to be reevaluated. Honestly it seems like the whole suspension and dispute/resolution thing is just automated.

Why not try for a gamer tag that is a bit "normal" I mean if you really think about it your handle here is a bit of a double entendre and could easily be considered offensive.

Gamertags can become offensive overtime.
Seemingly random numbers or words can get a reputation due to certain things.
Other users might find it offensive whilst some might not care, so if it gets reported it seems to apparently offend other users.
So things can change, just because we have something for a while doesn't mean it's fine for everyone.

I've had this EA ID name since before Anthem came out. "Handcrafted Cheek Clapper" is not offensive by any stretch of the imagination. If you think so I guess "Buttering Your Biscuit Baby" is offensive as well? I mean let's be honest here. It isn't. Everyone should be able to have the name they want "GRANTED" it doesn't cross the line as racist or malicious in nature. Neither of those names cross the threshold of racist or malicious. Not even close. If people can't laugh at something funny then you are gonna have a rough time in life. Learn to laugh and not be a pithy petty individual.
