Hello I just tried to open my account 2 days ago and noticed I was banned for repeat offenses. I thought maybe it was for my username but I’ve never got a warning otherwise I would have changed it no problem, I’d like to know if there is anything I can do to  get my account back since I’ve put work and money into my account.  Any help is appreciated and hope to hear from you soon.

ally code is 186-895-229

my swgoh gg is https://swgoh.gg/p/186895229/

thanks in advance 

  • Probably is bc of your name;someone probably just finally reported it.

    Also, what'd you think would happen with a name like that?

      At the same time a warning should be sent first, also changing it should be an acceptable outcome. As a POC I didn’t think it would be that big a issue but I get there point but repeat offense implies they sent out warnings first which I don’t recall them doing

        Wow. I just checked your in game name and your warning would have been living in a world with other human beings. Please don't try to pass this off as something that could required a warning. I mean, you creatively misspelled it on purpose, right? Why did you do that if not because you know how people are going to react? 

  • Did you by chance fight a team containing C3PO and other non combatents in arena? From what I hear attacking that team is a bannable offense. (I wouldn't have known this if not for reddit. Putting up this team in this first place should be the bannable offense instead.)

        Not as long as people keep repeating the rumor without other people visibly calling them out about it. I've only ever seen it played straight, so thanks for pointing this out. (Although you could have also have written "This is just a rumor.")

  • I can't find anything strange on your account, I wouldn't know why your username would be offensive (however I am not native english).

      The name is not offensive.  some people just want it to be so they can feel special reporting it.  I mean, most people's arms, legs, knees, shoulders, fingers and toes grow.

        Disagree. The name doesn’t just rhyme with a racial slur, it’s a homophone of a racial slur, and it is obviously intended to be exactly that. 

        As for “repeat offence” I believe the ban message says the same thing in all cases, so I wouldn’t read too much into that.

      The name rhymes with a word that can sometimes be taken as a racial slur.
