Kicked From Multiplayer - Help Harm & Hinder - Why?

Last night my son and I were playing in multiplayer mode for the Help, Harm & Hinder event and we were kicked from the server twice in two different matches. We don't cheat, we don't hack and we don't camp (like a lot of other people do) in these things.  We go in, we play the game and we try to vanquish as many as we can in order to win the match.  That's essentially the name of the game, isn't it?  But getting kicked, without even knowing why, just grinds my gears to no end. Furthermore, when we went back to play in another match, we looked into the kicking process and there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason as to proving why you are asking for a player to be kicked.  Lots of options as to why you want a player kicked (and none of them applied to my son or I), but nothing that requires proof of any kind.  So, I guess that means I could, if I wanted to, spend my day going into servers and randomly kicking players for no good reason at all.  Ultimately, I think this is the reason why we got kicked to begin with, other than our side was winning and my son, who is 9, just happens to be really good at this game. You should see him play.

I just think if you're going to implement a process that allows players to accuse someone of not playing by the rules, asking someone to prove their case should be a part of it.  Conversely, the player being kicked should be allowed to know why they were kicked and be at least given the chance to prove their innocence, if they were indeed innocent. Whether this is an Xbox thing or an EA thing, the process is flawed and needs to be rectified. We don't cheat, we don't hack and if anything, we are beyond courteous to other players. I've never cheated in a video game, wouldn't know how to hack or even code dive. I'm a simple person and I have zero interest in things like that.  I just want to turn the game on and play it.  That's all.  And before anyone gets started, this isn't whining or complaining or it'snotfairism (new word, trademarking it today), but just something that needs to be addressed at some point.

It probably never will be, but there's a lot of things that EA doesn't seem to address or care about, as the recent past has shown me.
