False positive bans

@BizzyVaping100% I don't for a second believe anyone got banned for farming bots. If you used an exploit(don't know if it was) present on all platforms EA would have a far bigger crap storm then the current false ban issue.
I have no clue what the farming method is as I have never used portal or whatever mode let's you farm bots. The issue is due to EA's massive lack of communication and the ever growing number of false bans people are grasping at straws to justify EA's actions.
If a player is banned, especially on such an expensive game, the SPECIFIC ban reason should be in that communication of the ban, in giving the reason if the player was false banned they can now peruse action to clear their name, if the cheater gets caught for say aimbot and you say that you caught them for aimbot, how is that helping cheat makers? The person was cheating and got banned so obviously its because of the cheat xD. I don't think a single person here has asked EA the METHOD in which they caught them in the first dispute at least, but every bot response seems to think that is the question.
EA seem to apply the logic "WELL THE CHEATERS SHOULD KNOW WHAT THEY DID WE TOTALLY CAUGHT YOU LOL"

The problem with telling a hacker/modder why he got banned is that If people on the hack suppliers sites start comparing notes (and they obviously will) then they can figure out which hacks are traceable and in the end figure out why/how they are traced.
The gaming companies don't want to give out any info that could help them make something undetectable.
- @BizzyVaping Stop spreading this faulty logic. It's so old and flawed by now and people and devs should have figured out that the cheat providers are far smarter than this. The little info they would get from EA confirming that a user have been banned from aimbot software, or injection tools, what difference do you actually think it would make? 100% sure they already know that before the ban.
Maybe you should question the logic of making this free to play instead. That will make the cheaters (and the cheat providers) flood the game instantly as they can continue creating new free accounts after every ban? Warzones biggest issue as of today. And to add, I'm personally lucky to know EA's reason to ban me, but there is alot of people here struggling and speculating around the five given possible causes from the e-mail.
If I'd give a qualified guess almost everyone in this thread have been banned for false positives stating injection "tools". I highly doubt EA/DICE have any game automation/logic or manpower capacity to handle and evaluate farming or boosting at this point in time, or since launch. They dont even have capacity to check their support e-mail or handle the GDPR requests.

They do not need the help and feedback of their "clients".

I had a conversation with an EA representative and she warned me that the processing of my SAR would take more than a month. They can't handle GDPR requests in time.
Once caught, a paying cheat customer will not investigate the reason behind the ban to help the cheat developer. He will instead spread the following words: "This cheat developer is cr** and his cheats are cr**. Do not buy from him" you know ?.

That IS the reason they don't give out details on bans whether you like it or not.- @indi81 This is by far the most logical thing to do for a giant company with many triple A games. THIS is the way to keep honest paying customers keep being honest paying customers.
I'll never be able to get over being banned on my birthday as a very small streamer & content creator for BF2042 ALONE.
How is this a reality we are living in.. even after providing a video-proof within my tickets, nothing helped.. - @BizzyVaping No its not and it's old. There is no productive or measurable positive aspect of doing that. The cheat creators is, as I said, far passed that stage.
- @BizzyVaping Having a reason about something does not make it a good reason.
Sadly some people will not understand that until they end up on the receiving end.
