Community ManagerHey @DanielRicciardo,
I've edited that post to remove the video link, as it does show both player names and the URL of a website. Please be aware of what's being shared to avoid accidentally driving more traffic to those sites, even if that wasn't the intention here.
If you encounter these types of individuals in your games, the best thing to do is what that YouTuber mentioned he'd already done and report them with these steps if you're unable to do so in-game. Thanks!
@EA_Mako Yeah, we don't want to know any names who are cheating so we can ban them?????? lmao OH no naming and shaming? but there just shaming your game and spitting all over it.

If you see a suspected cheater, please report them by using the appropriate tools. We can't take any action against such accounts on Answers HQ, so using the reporting options available gets those to the right teams.@EA_Mako Please trust me, we have tried many times to report on: https://help.ea.com
But these criminal group members from China have not been punished, On the contrary, we are harassed, bullied and attacked by fake messages on Facebook.
BF4's Asia servers have DDoS attacks every day or even every hour, My boss "Fragnet" is quite troubled by this.
Because each DDoS attack may cause a loss of 600 or 1200 US dollars.
This is not just affecting the game server software of Battlefield 4, This may also affect the operation of other game server software.
Because the Asia judicial environment is more complicated, This leads to no one who can really solve such criminal problems.
If you are from Japan, you should be very clear, I can also understand that this is not a problem we can solve.
So we need a higher level of dialogue, Regarding the behaviors of these criminal group members, can you provide confirmation of violations and necessary penalties?
If you can, please forward this request to EA staff who can help us.
Thank you!

I would never expect a company to speak on actions taken against certain players. They simply won't (or at least shouldn't) do it. Again, the best you can do is report the player(s) and move on. If others are experiencing problems, urge them to do the same.
As for harassment on Facebook, etc., that's not anything EA/DICE can monitor or act on for that matter. You're best bet is to take that up with FB directly. Block the offenders or (if necessary) change your privacy settings. I know if a toxic player follows me and harasses me via PS messaging, I can report them through Sony. They are very sensitive to this kind of abuse and take it seriously. It could also result in a ban of the offender from PSN services. .....so most don't risk it.

Yep, but some will never accept that reasoning. I've moderated for other forums and we always had a zero tolerance for N&S and / or videos that displayed names of others linked for those purposes.
@Huntnwabits The "no naming and shaming" rule is very common on many forums, for good reasons - it protects users against the false accusations (which are not uncommon) and also protects reporters, so they won't become a target just because they reported somebody. That's why it's better to use proper channels and ways for such reports. There is nothing wrong with that rule.
