Banned for a username that’s over 20 years old.

Ive been playing battlefield since the Vietnam game on pc and have used it on MULTIPLE EA titles and 3 different platforms with no issues until this game that I spent $70 on. I don’t use chat I’m not even that good at the game but anti tank and anti air makes people SALTY. Got the notification for first 7 day ban put in a request for appeal denied by AI so I altered a 20+ year old gamer tag just to get perm banned the next time I played. EA has the WORST customer service I have ever seen and would love to actually speak with a human being on why I got permanently banned on a video game that’s rated M and actively uses the word “**bleep**” in gameplay for a username.

    Hi there. Unfortunately, you're not able to speak with someone about the ban. The best you can do is submit a dispute by following the instructions in this article.

    Yeah I would love to do that except the ban covers the forums which is why I had to make another account to post on this subject. Why is there almost ZERO customer service on a $70 game? I would love to just send an email and get this taken care of but instead I have to jump through hoops and deal with AI not even looking into the case. Meanwhile I actively reported usernames and chat with slurs and inappropriate talking points just to get “we did not seek action “ but I get a game ban for my play style due to spam reports.

  • I would also like to make note that I received this ban AFTER changing my name. For almost 200 hrs of game play my name did not violate any TOS but it’s a problem due to petty reports this is a serious issue.

    You shouldn't be banned from the forums for a ban you received in a game. Most likely, there's a different reason for the forums ban. Ban disputes are not submitted through the forums. That needs to be done through our help site. You can do that with the link I gave previously. Follow the instructions for using the webform.

    I have also gone through the only available channels in that link for the first ban and second one with an updated username with multiple messages just to get a generic AI response and no ban lifted or altered the fact you guys are permanently banning people for usernames on again a $70 game is wild I’ve been able to use the same username on Roblox and Fortnite to play with my kid seems to be fine with a children’s game but not for a rated M title it’s wild work and again I’ve been using it for 20+ years and I’ve NEVER been banned seems like you guys should be focused on cheaters and poor game quality instead of gamer tags that are allowed on all respective platforms that EA agreed to their TOS to put their game on their platform.

    I got a full EA account ban for a username which includes the forums. Again I would like to get this resolved instead of waiting over a week for a generic response that no one looked into.

    While the response is a form, the investigation is performed by a human. Again, we can't help with bans over the forums. You'll need to submit another dispute so ToS can perform another investigation.

    Send me a private message so I can look into your forums ban. I can't help with the game ban though.
