Battlefield Appeals

So Saturday April 18th,

played two matches of the new operation with my buddy, did really well on both. After completing them and feeling burnt out from the map design we moved to Rush.

The very first match I’m running Assault, VCR and a shotgun. We barge into a house and we’re running and gunning playing off eachother clearing enemy teams easy. All of a sudden boom im temp banned for 3 Days. 

I’ve played battlefield for quite a long time, originally on Xbox now I have a PC. It said the violation was Game Enhancements, I.E. something with making a weapon too good I think is how they described or something idk, I’ve never done any form of cheating, manipulation or whatever you want to call it. Now the Appeal sits with EA support teams.

I feel like I was playing really good, I got a single report which I don’t think I’ve ever been reported before at all so I’m assuming this is my first one, and I got banned.

Really I’m just hoping EA, Dice or whoever looks at this has a better system than yeah one guy played pretty good and one person or all that guys buddies reported him cause they died to him so let’s ban him.

Idk maybe I’m asking for too much.

  • Hi there, sorry to hear about your situation.

    If your account has been banned or suspended and you believe this was done in error, please submit an appeal through the Penalty History tool.

    Appeals for account bans and suspensions are handled by a dedicated team. When reviewing appeals, they use tools and records available only to that team. These are not accessible to the community team, so we’re unable to intervene in their decisions.

    Also, just to clarify, under the Battlefield 6 rules, we consider removing anyone who tries to give unfair advantages to themselves or others by cheating. This includes but isn’t limited to:

    • using third-party software, such as aimbots, wallhacks, and other similar cheats in order to gain an unfair advantage over other players
    • using software or cheat tools that disconnect other players from EA servers
    • performing in-game exploits, or abusing glitches or bugs
    • stat padding (abusing game features in an unintended manner to artificially stack on scores)
    • win-trading or otherwise manipulating in-game ranking systems with the collaboration of others. This includes unfair play like teaming up with another player in Solo or squads collaborating with other squads.

    Alright so I got a ton of replies,

    people with similarities with these issues and some trying to give good advice.

    for those giving the good advice, I play Battlefield through Steam, I don’t run any other apps or whatever they’re called besides discord. I don’t know what other things can run at the same time as battlefield nor do I believe I’m smart enough to understand how any of this game enhancement stuff works. But thank you.

     

    to those with similar issues if we try our best to continue to appeal cases maybe EA or Dice will take a look at how these suspensions or bans are handled or being issued. Who knows.

    EA_LunardustCat​ Idk if you can get any information from that team but something doesn't seem to be working correctly. I've been banned since October and I no longer can submit appeals and my Penalty History is now empty. I found my way to the Web Form as instructed by EA Help Chat to submit an appeal through that but when I submit it there is no Contact US option like there should be and it only directs me back to the Penalty History which is blank. I'm literally stranded with a perm ban and no way to talk to a person that can help me. I don't even know why I was banned other than Gameplay Enhancements but no actual "You did X, we detected Y" reason.

    Hi, if you don’t see the violation you want to appeal listed in the Penalty History tool, use this webform instead. To avoid giving cheat developers information that could help them bypass detection, the team may not provide the kind of detail you’re referring to. You may still continue to request clarification from them.

    However, I can see that your case has already gone through 10 reviews. If you’re no longer able to submit another appeal, that usually means the team considers the matter fully reviewed and the decision final.

    EA_LunardustCat​ Thanks for the reply, I've used the web form to try to appeal before under the appeal section but it just brings me to a page that only shows the Penalty History option and there is no Contact Us option there for me. When I was able to submit appeals I had asked for clarification several times but only ever received a copy paste denial which led me to believe the system was completely automated.

    I fully explained that I was instructed to use the "Compatibility Mode" feature of ReWASD by the Devs and even provided photo evidence from their Discord of them doing so. I was under the impression that doing so disabled problematic features and was unaware that it was a bypass. I've since deleted REWASD and have no intention to use it again because of their catering to cheaters. I feel I've been treated unfairly and have yet to actually talk to anyone in the Terms and Services team over the situation. I know there's nothing you can do about it and I appreciate you trying to help. I'm just venting.

    Unfortunately the web form doesn't work for me. If I select Submit an Appeal and submit it I'm brought to a page where there's only a link to view my penalty history, which is blank. So it's effectively a dead end for me.

    Thanks for sharing your experience. I understand how frustrating it is to feel that you’ve been banned in error, and cases like this are also taken into account as part of ongoing anti-cheat improvements.

    I just wish they didn't wall themselves off and would allow me to have a open discussion about it over chat. Every other department seems to have that ability except for them and it's really frustrating and disheartening. I've been a member here since 09 and have enjoyed BF games since Bad Company 2. It's just really upsetting that after all this time and loyalty to the franchise with no other warnings or penalties I'm given a permanent ban from a game I purchased twice to play with my son and battle passes over an unfortunate circumstance that's already been resolved on my end by deleting the offending software.
