Why was I banned for my name in Apex?

Like i don't get it why can you be perma banned for user name that is not even harmful. Like i was just about to play apex and i saw that my account is baned/suspended so i open ea support to check and sure enough i was perma banned for name (and didn't even know at that moment that my name was a problem i thought that i was toxic and forgot about it so i check my email and see that my name is the problem) and you might be wandering what my name was to trigger this system it was just "sex" like how is it a bad word. I get it someone can think that it is bad word (but like you can googel it and most of the answers would be that it is not a bad word that it depends ona usage of this word) but c'mon perma like a month at best perma bans should be only for cheaters, account sharing and or like super toxic players and i think this example shows that this system should be changed. And i didn't even know that "sex" is on their bad word list no one knows so how should i know only people that know that are ea employees. And im not saying that i need to be unbanned now i just asking to change the length of ban coz making a new account is a bad thing to. And for the record yes i got suspended once for i think 3 days and ignore checking exact info why i got suspended and why i ignored it because i thought i was toxic and i made mantal note to not be toxic later but that didn't work because 5 days after getting banned i now know what the problem was because i don't play this game every day and don't check my email every day.

    Hi @Pyzka67,

    @OldTreeCreeper is another player like you, he won't know that information.

    Honestly, no-one on Answers HQ, staff like myself included, will be able to look into the specifics of your ban. Our Terms of Service team can look into this for you if you send in an appeal using the information shared in the link above in @OldTreeCreeper's post. Please open that EA Help article and follow the advice in there.

    Thank you,

    EA_Lanna.
  • @Pyzka67 how is that a bad word lol, the very thing that is innate to all humans also its a 16+ game! EA are an absolute joke
  • @Pyzka67 I just got 3 day ban for “railing lines”. No warning or nothing like ea atleast let me know first before just doing that. And the only reason they did that was cause I was actually ranked in top 10 and they saw the name

    Edit: Removed profanity. Per the Answers HQ rules, please keep your posts free of swearing. -CM

    You do know that your statement is not entirely accurate.

    Depending on the country the game can be played without violating the ToS starting at age 13. 

    Either way the OP chose a name that could be controversial, their choice.

    The OP also chose not to read or react to e-mails sent to them, also their choice.

    I believe that the OP's carless inaction is what lead to their situation and well that was their choice.

    If I get mail from my bank I open it, do not want to have something happen to my bank account.

    Same goes for EA if I get mail from EA regarding my account I open it.

  • This is honestly the worst thing ive seen. Had a name thats not racist or anything and then get banned for 3 days because somebody cried about it.
