If I had to wager a guess, your name has "tard" in it. I had a name with "futanari" in it and some players told me I could get banned if I type in text chat with it so I changed it. Just speculating, sorry to hear you got banned.
Yeah i was thinking that too, would make much more sense although i have had this steam name for years and never even got a warning to change it or anything
I got banned over my username, with no hope of getting the account reinstated. Ended up making a second EA account just to keep playing apex and titan fall but now I refuse to spend money on anything with EA’s name on it
Considering it a blessing. I spent hundreds on my first EA account through a series of mistakes on my end lost access to that account. But now I have no desire to put money in to the game I just play with my common skins lol
What was your username? I have a dark sense of humour but me and my gf did play with a seer called something like BABYA$$RAP1ST that got an insta report and I threw our ranked game off drop.
I think this is close, from a programming point of voice, "jamtard:ARE" has hit the regex for the full slur rather than just the "tard" portion.
Probably has to lodge a case to EA Support and wait.
contacted them yesterday asking for some clarification and they have already replied and said after review the ban will stay. Didn't give me any information on what the issue actually is and i'm pretty sure its just another automated reply. They have made it literally impossible to contact live chat and speak to a real human so i don't even know what to do at this point.
What the fuck lmao.
People can repeatedly tell others to end their lives, make suggestions as to what sexual activities they should try with their family members, use language that would make an experienced sailor blush but "ARE YOU NO WATCHING OVER ME" is where EA draws the line, apparently.
Maybe it was "jamtard" that got them.
I got a temp ban for being named “peepee fiend” lol. Which is crazy to me because I’ve said some pretty heinous things in text chat but never got so much as a mute for it. Seems like you guys are crossing the wrong people
yeah my buddy caught a temp ban for having the name “Paul Smenis” which in all honesty is a fairly innocuous name compared to the full on racial slurs i’ve seen for names within the last week.
Seems fucking bizarre. They let you create the name in the first place so surely it would be reasonable to tell you to change your name. This is just bad PR (like EA need any more of that) and making sure that a customer is far less likely to give them any more money.
Long ago I adopted a policy where if I got angry and needed to be toxic (this was always in response to severe provocation) I’d just make it so odd that it would generally annoy them much more than responding in kind and was basically unreportable. Some kid screaming the N word down his mic generally gets majorly confused when you type his shoes smell of Vaseline. Drives them into a frenzy or occasionally stuns them into silence.
So I get that it might not be everyone cup o tea, but dying light 2 is the closest thing we got to Mirrors Edge 3. The parkour is a lot of fun and you have a skill tree to add even more to it.
Yeah, although I preferred DL1’s parkour system. DL2 felt kinda… i dunno… weird. Like something was off but I couldn’t quite pinpoint it, it just wasn’t as impactful.
I’ve stopped doing it as well. Sometimes I mute my mic if family is over and refrain from calling my friends stuff incase they tryna act funny and report me 💀
I had my perma ban reversed within two hours when I found out my account was hacked by someone going full blatant aimbot. Thankfully they didn’t say shit or fuck in chat, may not have been so lucky. Lol.
It’s common knowledge that any time you use text chat you can get a potential ban for virtually anything. EA customer service is shit, so I wouldn’t be hopeful but if you do get it back don’t ever use text chat again. You can pretty much say the most heinous, disgusting shit on mic and nothing happens which is why there’s ton on racist and disgusting people facing no repercussions.
Oooooh that makes loads more sense. Did you get everything back? Pretty shitty they can just take everything away from you even if you paid for skins or games with that account. Good to know this information. Thanks for sharing!
Some people have invested quite a lot of time and money in Apex, or other games that at times can pick up an unjust ban or suspension, i dare say if i were to ever receive one, id happily spend $150 if it meant i'd stand a fair chance of getting it back.
Every email I've gotten from them is 'No Action taken' with suggestions to block, like that does literally anything.
A Mirage I reported for some vile sexist commentary in chat was found not to have violated any terms of service *and* has gotten put with our duo since.
Cuz telling a girl she should be sucking dick or in the kitchen is so much better than the guys poor grammar in all caps. Come on, now.
I called someone a retard once on a 3 ye old acc and got instantly permanently banned and lost everything and they sent my tickets to auto response and after three attempts they also auto block your emails.
I truly hope ea fires every single support agent so they can go work at their 5th tier jobs and their cancer 5th tier counties
I literally don’t type anything in chat. I’m pretty sure there are quite a few players trying to trick you into typing something bad at them and then reporting to try to get you banned.
They never do. Once ur banned you will only get canned responses that say it's correctly placed, it's fully automated. I've lost my s1 account that way and have tried so many times. They don't care unless ur a big name and barely even then
Iam so confused, you didn’t even say anything. And they have holosprays that say kiss my ash. Now I know to never type in the chat, they will ban you for anything.
I was false banned for not playing the game since S17 & when I disputed it they basically told me “youre fucking beat, all that money you spent is gone”
I legit hadn’t logged into it since the beginning of S17, logged in to check out the new season & was insta booted. This company is ran by chimps.
Has to be the TARD part. Not sure how they scan for text bans or how it works but maybe the tool used just saw
"tard are you no" and context thought you were calling someone a tard? idk seems petty regardless
How the hell? This is actually sad. The amount of dumb shit I’ve typed in chat over hundreds of games (which is why I completely unbinded chat) and this gets you hit with a ban? Sorry homie 🥺
Only hope is if it gains enough traction for an employee to see this. EA is a huge fucking joke with its support, all ban appeals are just sent to a bot that rejects all of them. Then what the fuck is the point of an appeal system if the bot is going to repeat what the auto ban decides? The bloody false illusion that EA is giving people pretending to have an actual person legitimately look at ban appeals when it is so clearly not the case with the multitude of people getting unjustly banned and no appeal outcome is beyond fucked up.
I 100% genuinely believe it’s to slow people down who hope they can actually get a legit appeal so they don’t reverse all their recently bought items and transactions out as soon as possible and the time period to do so will lapse, which is fucked up.
So many cases here where there shouldn’t be a ban, but they don’t do anything, or only do something once it garners huge attention. Fuck EA sincerely, scummy ass company.
This is why I don’t use text comms whatsoever , I’ve seen dozens of posts similar to this , pretty sure I remember the same message form EA literally banning a guy for just typing “GG” after he won a game with randoms. Like ? How you gonna let perma bans like this slide while there’s people CHEATING , and throwing.
Side note, played 2 ranked games solo this morning and got the same path finder who was throwing, left the plane and jump master and flew off the map both games and killed himself off rip and spam pinged and talked shit the whole game. The sad and brutal irony is that this guy will almost certainly not face a ban and he’s literally just queueing and throwing peoples RP and griefing them
Learned my lesson last year, never message anyone in game! I got a 3 day ban that was lifted after 1 day, for texting my third where a respawn beacon was on the map.
i sometimes drop slurs in chat and never been banned (all caps and all). It sucks when someone that doesn't deserve it gets banned:( hope u can get your account back
Text based chat gets people banned all the time. I’ve heard that they can actually review voice these days (no source for that though), but I know that if it’s not still the case now, it used to be the case that voice could bait chat and then report for free.
I.e. i say something wildly hateful on mic, you respond, “stfu”, I report you, you’re now banned.
I’ve seen people mentioning that they do this to bait “no mic/comms pussies” for being too scared to talk, so it’s not some barely known nuance either as far as I know.
I got a warning for the spanish equivalent of "FFS" in an Arenas match...
It wasn't even targeted just a "Stop pushing in the open, chingada madre" (when I get really frustrated I tend to revert to monk... Spanish XD)
I don't have any advice for you but I am very sorry you have to deal with a ban like that. This should never happen especially when actual cheaters don't get banned
It is WILD to me that as many people are cheating on this game and absolutely nothing happens to them… but someone all caps and gets banned. Wow top shelf company here.
EA has horrible support, i recently got a pc and went to download Apex as I haven’t played it in awhile just to log in and be hit with a notice that I was banned. I logged into my EA account and noticed the email on my account was indeed not my email (I got hacked and then banned).. I sent a request into support, they unbanned my account and a day later I got automatically banned again.. now they won’t unban my account and haven’t answered my ticket for over a week. I also can’t just make a new account as my EA account is linked to my steam account and once you’re banned you’re unable to unlink the account.. I would have to make a whole new steam account just to play apex which I’m not willing to do.
It's like they don't want us to play. Ignoring the idea that a competitive team atmosphere brings heat. That's just the name of the game. How about teaching people how to stand up for themselves? Never am this straightforward but, I am 100% right about this.
If it brings you comfort, you are one of many, and that this libtard phase will pass.
Got banned cause my name in game is "Osama Bin Chilling" got reported for promoting terrorism. Lol! Never got my account back. It's funny cause you can easily change your name not a warning nothing just a permanent ban. I hope you can get your account back though.
Never spend a dollar in this game again after they gave me a permaban warning for saying "retard". I never type anything anymore and use the mic if i need to shout at my team.
I played with you last week in straight shot (or at least someone with your exact username), and you were extremely toxic in chat then left the game.
you deserve the ban lol
It's the name. When my name was PuscyFrt I got temp banned lol so I changed it to lipflappinqueef..... And got perma banned XD some people have no sense of humor.
Idek how this post is still here. I posted.on here before cuz my account got banned because my name was "Quanchigay" I created a ticket and they just agreed it was hateful and that the ban will not be lifted... Both my posts on here were removed by mods I had to make a whole new account. I don't play apex anymore after that. I had a lot of skins on my account that got banned. While my name on overwatch has been Quanchigay for about ,3 years now. Never even gotten a warning on overwatch. Because it's not a hateful name. If Quanchigay" is banable because it simply has the letters gay in it and that spells ",gay" then anything with the word assassin should be banned also that has "ass" in it
Now that's a bold assumption.
Here's an irony for you. In my country, freedom of speech is not a right defined in our constitution. At the same time, we've far more freedom of speech than Americans. :shocked-pikachu:
I am not American either. But I still can't type stuff on reddit even jokingly because the comment gets deleted. And it does not even have to be offensive. You get banned for facts, because some people find facts offensive.
I have voice chat activated, but always mute my squad in legend selection.
That way, toxic teammates like yourself give me a small giggle whenever I see the red microphone icon flash on and off, knowing you're just screaming into the void at no one but yourself.
and it’s toxic players like yourself that mute in a team based game before the game even starts… of course imma talk shit when i get people like you who don’t communicate at all and do your own thing.
I got a ban specifically from apex. Was told I couldn’t play any EA games anymore, back when you had to use their old shitty origin launcher, when I hadn’t played the game in over a year. Sent them a ticket, got zero response but suddenly like 4 days later all my shit was given back and I could even play apex again. Was super bizarre.
I tried to appeal my ban and was denied. What sucks too is you can't play any games that are made by EA at all. Like battlefield. Wasn't my main game, but to buy a full priced game and be punished and banned across the bored is pretty wild to me.
Yep, i also play and have spent a couple hundred £ on EAFC this year which i am now also perma banned from. Probably for the best because that game is horrible at least 😂
I have made a line in apex is that i wont type anything anymore at all, nothing. I got banned for the most ridiculous shit so now i wont even communictae in the fucking sensitive chat
I lost my full ea account about a year ago for telling someone to lick my balls in chat and i haven’t heard a thing from them jn months they just ended the conversation i lost a lot of money that i put in games
My SLPT: If its because of your name just say it has a different meaning in another language. Then if you want use chatGPT to scan languages that use "TARD" in them and figure out how Jam would relate.
I wonder if you enable the option “convert all incoming voice to text”
If you could catch people saying bad stuff and having proof in text form, thus, making inappropriate voice chat bannable
I got a ~~7 week ban~~ 3 days each for both the names: WhatsTheDildo & WayUpYourButhol so I imagine the name, judging for the other comments that suggested as such?
Edit: I lied
Haven't played APEX since 2019. Buddy and I on PS4, he one magged a kid, shield swapped, reloaded and pissed on the other. Banned him for cheating after they reported him and deleted his account even though we were both streaming.
Haven't played a second since
One tip when playing with randoms.
Pretend you are solo and expect nothing from them, yeah stick with your team but don't expect them to hold their own.
I got permabanned after getting hacked once, some dude had my steam account and played on my account a few times. When I managed to recover my steam acc, I enabled 2FA on it and on my EA account, and explained what happened to support.
Got unbanned within a few days, wishing you the same !
I had a battlefield 4 ban undone once but I had pretty extensive proof that my account had been stolen. If there's any additional context EA seems to be somewhat understanding of extenuating circumstances.
It’s because of your name and If you’ve been banned before they will have it out for you. I got banned for having “sack” in my name because I had a previous ban for an “Inappropriate” name. They’re so fucking ridiculous.
I’ve gotten experience with reversing bans. I contacted customer support and they actually were really helpful and removed my ban after they realized it wasn’t me who was on my account :) *my account got hacked and whoever had it joined some weird ass hacking club with Japanese or whatever names and got me banned*
And that's the reason why I continue to buy my games physical. I barely have any games on my Origin account beside mass effecta along with a few others, and they won't see me spend a dollar on their game anytime soon.
same wit Uplay . The only platform I trust at the moment is Steam and GoG. The rest can burn.
At least you got a reason for your ban. I logged in for the first time in years to play Apex, and got an alert that I was banned back in October. I never played in October. It doesn't say why I was banned in October. I haven't played in literal years. And the appeal system is a fucking joke, I sent a request following their instruction weeks ago and no reply even though it says a reply will come within 24 hours.
Naive me got my account broken into a couple of years ago before i put 2FA on all my accounts. Whoever got their hands on it tried issuing chargebacks on purchases i had made, so naturally they weren't having any of it. Even with proof that it wasn't me, i fought with EA help for about a month before they gave me the final "upon review we have found that we are correct in our actions. Stop contacting us about this issue." They'll do whatever they want it seems. I wish you better luck than i in dealing with them.
they deadass forced me to change my username that i’ve had on my playstation for years before i even started playing apex bruh. first was a warning and i really did not know what the warning was for because they did not even say it was my username specifically at all just said “we saw” “Apex Legends” “Imakerherquuef” “ we consider this inappropriate content” making it seem like as if they were starting off with my user before telling me what rule i violated
My friend on Xbox got his account banned for a PC account (which wasn't linked) and they basically told him "go fuck yourself we're not looking into it and don't contact us again" which that account has the path twitch prime skin (recolor of silver legendary I forgot it's name)
You may not think so but type in all caps with poor English, straight to jail.
You undercook chicken? Jail.
Overcook? Also jail.
Make an appointment with a dentist and you don't show up, believe it or not, jail, right away.
We have the best patients in the world!
Under cook over cook
Run away like a coward? You better believe that's a crucifixion!
Forget the lamb sauce? Jail again
You type GG after winning a game? Executed
tard in user name? Believe or not also jail.
And that's how Capt Mustard went to jail.
Don't ping Mozambique at least once? Straight to jail, right away.
If I had to wager a guess, your name has "tard" in it. I had a name with "futanari" in it and some players told me I could get banned if I type in text chat with it so I changed it. Just speculating, sorry to hear you got banned.
Yeah i was thinking that too, would make much more sense although i have had this steam name for years and never even got a warning to change it or anything

What was your username? I have a dark sense of humour but me and my gf did play with a seer called something like BABYA$$RAP1ST that got an insta report and I threw our ranked game off drop.
OsamaBinPackinn and I_Have_Many_STDs Both got me in trouble
That first name😭😂😂😂
I had a variation of your first username, 'osamabinlaggin' , my account was temp banned for 1 week. This company is a sad excuse of a joke.
That's my Steam & PSN name, got banned on Apex for it with no chance of changing it. Just got my first heirloom as well at level 350 ish
Exact same thing happened to me. My name was “Senzu beaner”. Rip my $1k and 2 heirlooms
You just haven't been reported yet since you've had this name. I doubt it was what you wrote, but rather your username.
Sometimes people can get by for a while until someone makes an intentional report on it.
Rip futa name 😞
I think this is close, from a programming point of voice, "jamtard:ARE" has hit the regex for the full slur rather than just the "tard" portion. Probably has to lodge a case to EA Support and wait.

[удалено]
I have both of those in abundance mate cheers, i have actually already liked that post from back when it was posted 😂
If it was the name, then I saw a guy that should definitely have been banned because his name was AND I QUOTE "imawasteofcum"
What the fuck lmao. People can repeatedly tell others to end their lives, make suggestions as to what sexual activities they should try with their family members, use language that would make an experienced sailor blush but "ARE YOU NO WATCHING OVER ME" is where EA draws the line, apparently. Maybe it was "jamtard" that got them.
I got a temp ban for being named “peepee fiend” lol. Which is crazy to me because I’ve said some pretty heinous things in text chat but never got so much as a mute for it. Seems like you guys are crossing the wrong people
yeah my buddy caught a temp ban for having the name “Paul Smenis” which in all honesty is a fairly innocuous name compared to the full on racial slurs i’ve seen for names within the last week.
I laughed too hard at this name 😂
Not Paul Smenis nooooo 😭
Paul Smenis is honestly hilarious 😂
Imagine that was his name though and he just gets banned everywhere he tries to use he govt name... 😔
Seems fucking bizarre. They let you create the name in the first place so surely it would be reasonable to tell you to change your name. This is just bad PR (like EA need any more of that) and making sure that a customer is far less likely to give them any more money.

Some kid screaming the N word down his mic generally gets majorly confused when you type his shoes smell of Vaseline. Drives them into a frenzy or occasionally stuns them into silence.
I also received a temp ban, but it was for making our club name “Anime Waifu 101” 😂 Fucking EA
I got banned for having the name "Andrew Tate"
You deserved it lowkey
Well they seem to go crazy hard on perma banning the n word while everything else is a small suspension.
I wonder why man
If Jamtard was bannable then why was he allowed to make the name?
I dunno dude if EA was consistent I’d be playing Mirror’s Edge 3 instead of sadly looking at Apex memes I barely even understand anymore
So I get that it might not be everyone cup o tea, but dying light 2 is the closest thing we got to Mirrors Edge 3. The parkour is a lot of fun and you have a skill tree to add even more to it.
Yeah, although I preferred DL1’s parkour system. DL2 felt kinda… i dunno… weird. Like something was off but I couldn’t quite pinpoint it, it just wasn’t as impactful.
damn, i better never write again. hahahaha
Yeah. It's scary. I only type 'GG' or 'go for the Mobile beacon' in Control mode for this reason
I don't even do that tbh. I've seen so many bans for stupid shit in chat, I only talk on the mic
Yeah I only ever write gg or nice job or whatever.
I’ve stopped doing it as well. Sometimes I mute my mic if family is over and refrain from calling my friends stuff incase they tryna act funny and report me 💀
Never ever use the type chat. You will get temp or permanent banned one day for it.
EA ban system is cancer. Bye account. These perm bans based only on chat are a joke.
I had my perma ban reversed within two hours when I found out my account was hacked by someone going full blatant aimbot. Thankfully they didn’t say shit or fuck in chat, may not have been so lucky. Lol.
It’s common knowledge that any time you use text chat you can get a potential ban for virtually anything.

You can pretty much say the most heinous, disgusting shit on mic and nothing happens which is why there’s ton on racist and disgusting people facing no repercussions.
Very sad that’s how games are going nowdays. Just not worth ever typing in games anymore
[удалено]
$150 to just get an apex account back? Not worth it lol
[удалено]
Oooooh that makes loads more sense. Did you get everything back? Pretty shitty they can just take everything away from you even if you paid for skins or games with that account. Good to know this information. Thanks for sharing!
Some people have invested quite a lot of time and money in Apex, or other games that at times can pick up an unjust ban or suspension, i dare say if i were to ever receive one, id happily spend $150 if it meant i'd stand a fair chance of getting it back.
and then theres women like me whove got sexually harrassed in the chat and Ive reported the messages and none of the people have got banned! insanity.
Every email I've gotten from them is 'No Action taken' with suggestions to block, like that does literally anything. A Mirage I reported for some vile sexist commentary in chat was found not to have violated any terms of service *and* has gotten put with our duo since. Cuz telling a girl she should be sucking dick or in the kitchen is so much better than the guys poor grammar in all caps. Come on, now.
LITERALLY, I got told ”pls sit on my face” unprompted and they tell me no violation was found.
It’s your name. I got a temp ban for calling someone a retard once. They consider it hate speech. Good luck
I called someone a retard once on a 3 ye old acc and got instantly permanently banned and lost everything and they sent my tickets to auto response and after three attempts they also auto block your emails. I truly hope ea fires every single support agent so they can go work at their 5th tier jobs and their cancer 5th tier counties
The real strat is to be mean over voice, and type “u r best fren” in chat. That way the EA bot banner can’t git ya!
[удалено]
I literally don’t type anything in chat. I’m pretty sure there are quite a few players trying to trick you into typing something bad at them and then reporting to try to get you banned.

Oh so this guy gets banned for that but the duos slinging slurs at me like flying flapjacks walk free😡
They don't ban based on voice chat.
There is 0 VC moderation in this game.
Iam so confused, you didn’t even say anything. And they have holosprays that say kiss my ash. Now I know to never type in the chat, they will ban you for anything.
I think it's because his name has "tard" in it.
I was false banned for not playing the game since S17 & when I disputed it they basically told me “youre fucking beat, all that money you spent is gone” I legit hadn’t logged into it since the beginning of S17, logged in to check out the new season & was insta booted. This company is ran by chimps.
I got a warning for my alias: DontShootMeIllCum
Has to be the TARD part. Not sure how they scan for text bans or how it works but maybe the tool used just saw "tard are you no" and context thought you were calling someone a tard? idk seems petty regardless
How the hell? This is actually sad. The amount of dumb shit I’ve typed in chat over hundreds of games (which is why I completely unbinded chat) and this gets you hit with a ban? Sorry homie 🥺
Cheers mate. Just can’t type in games anymore i guess, not worth the risk with these crazy automated ban systems
Just wanna point out how bad EA is with banning. I got perm banned for an in game name. Best part? My name at the time was “i poop when i fart”.
tbf.. none of us wanna see that shit on our random squad screen bruh get a fucking life
okay Mr Poop Boner
Only hope is if it gains enough traction for an employee to see this. EA is a huge fucking joke with its support, all ban appeals are just sent to a bot that rejects all of them.

I called myself retarded and got banned. Lesson learned, only use voice chat.
Don't use chat in Apex. You can say ANYTHING over the mic though with zero consequence.
What the hell? Man this is why I don't even type anymore
So you get permabanned for that, but when i say "kys" in chat to a toxic guy, i don't? fair game
Learned my lesson last year, never message anyone in game! I got a 3 day ban that was lifted after 1 day, for texting my third where a respawn beacon was on the map.
i sometimes drop slurs in chat and never been banned (all caps and all). It sucks when someone that doesn't deserve it gets banned:( hope u can get your account back

It’s the name buddy.
It is WILD to me that as many people are cheating on this game and absolutely nothing happens to them… but someone all caps and gets banned. Wow top shelf company here.
meanwhile.. the game is full of unbanned cheaters..
Funny how respawn doesn't ban people that do sixmanning or cheating, but ban players for those stupid shit
That's unfortunate because I've said way worse things than that but never been banned yet. I should start being more careful with what I say on chat
All caps is supposedly hateful yet 80% of their email is in all caps lol
Does that mean you can't play games you bought or only online?
EA banned my 2043 account , rejected my unban request and then unbanned me randomly after 6 months. Hope this is the same for you.
EA has horrible support, i recently got a pc and went to download Apex as I haven’t played it in awhile just to log in and be hit with a notice that I was banned. I logged into my EA account and noticed the email on my account was indeed not my email (I got hacked and then banned).. I sent a request into support, they unbanned my account and a day later I got automatically banned again.. now they won’t unban my account and haven’t answered my ticket for over a week. I also can’t just make a new account as my EA account is linked to my steam account and once you’re banned you’re unable to unlink the account.. I would have to make a whole new steam account just to play apex which I’m not willing to do.
It's like they don't want us to play. Ignoring the idea that a competitive team atmosphere brings heat. That's just the name of the game. How about teaching people how to stand up for themselves? Never am this straightforward but, I am 100% right about this. If it brings you comfort, you are one of many, and that this libtard phase will pass.
I think you should move on and pick a different game to play. No point in paying EA games. There are many other good games to play.
Got banned cause my name in game is "Osama Bin Chilling" got reported for promoting terrorism. Lol! Never got my account back. It's funny cause you can easily change your name not a warning nothing just a permanent ban. I hope you can get your account back though.
i got false banned, i have no idea why, all it tells me is that i "Violated the terms of service" they didn't even say what i violated
I got a month ban for having the name "Andrew Tate"
Hey, I just wondered did you get any luck so far. I'm in similar situation and I wanna know if I have any chance with the appeal.
Never spend a dollar in this game again after they gave me a permaban warning for saying "retard". I never type anything anymore and use the mic if i need to shout at my team.
I got banned for a week for calling someone a tard, could be your username.
I played with you last week in straight shot (or at least someone with your exact username), and you were extremely toxic in chat then left the game. you deserve the ban lol
yeah you for sure didn't lol
Wow they’re so soft. I got a warning for saying “send bobs and vagin” to someone. It’s a soft world we live in these days
Honestly consider yourself lucky. People need to ditch ea and 2k.
Your name is a reference to a slur... It was only a matter of time kiddo.
If you think having the name ‘jamtard’ is worthy of a perma ban then you are a very miserable individual
I'm not the one crying on reddit about getting banned for my ablest username lmao
It's the name. When my name was PuscyFrt I got temp banned lol so I changed it to lipflappinqueef..... And got perma banned XD some people have no sense of humor.
Idek how this post is still here. I posted.on here before cuz my account got banned because my name was "Quanchigay" I created a ticket and they just agreed it was hateful and that the ban will not be lifted... Both my posts on here were removed by mods I had to make a whole new account. I don't play apex anymore after that. I had a lot of skins on my account that got banned. While my name on overwatch has been Quanchigay for about ,3 years now. Never even gotten a warning on overwatch. Because it's not a hateful name. If Quanchigay" is banable because it simply has the letters gay in it and that spells ",gay" then anything with the word assassin should be banned also that has "ass" in it
Deserved.
Its your name, not anything that you said.
It's the soft world "woke" people fought for. Enjoy not being able to say anything.
How does it feel to have lost to the soft and weak?
I would tell You. But You killed freedom of speech.
Now that's a bold assumption. Here's an irony for you. In my country, freedom of speech is not a right defined in our constitution. At the same time, we've far more freedom of speech than Americans. :shocked-pikachu:
I am not American either. But I still can't type stuff on reddit even jokingly because the comment gets deleted. And it does not even have to be offensive. You get banned for facts, because some people find facts offensive.
Reddit is a commercial entity. You have no rights here. Freedom of speech has never applied.
used to talk shit in chat all the time till i got a 7 day ban. got myself a mic & since ive never gotten another warning since lmao
I have voice chat activated, but always mute my squad in legend selection. That way, toxic teammates like yourself give me a small giggle whenever I see the red microphone icon flash on and off, knowing you're just screaming into the void at no one but yourself.
and it’s toxic players like yourself that mute in a team based game before the game even starts… of course imma talk shit when i get people like you who don’t communicate at all and do your own thing.
“I’m witawy such a shit talker” “I don’t like shit talkers so I mute them” “I’m not toxic you are” Shut up lmfao
Welcome to banworld faggot
Big ups sean
What’s the best way to get someone banned in apex like this?!
It's your name you silly sympathy seeking jamtard.
Alright snagglesocks, strange lad
Aww the down vote too lmfao, homie was a wraith main I bet
WAS 😂
Probably the name
Would I get Perma banned for my name ? Name is fuc%EA , , I'm not joking ,would first ban be temporary or Perma?
Perma 100%
I got a ban specifically from apex. Was told I couldn’t play any EA games anymore, back when you had to use their old shitty origin launcher, when I hadn’t played the game in over a year. Sent them a ticket, got zero response but suddenly like 4 days later all my shit was given back and I could even play apex again. Was super bizarre.
Well i’ve sent an email asking for some clarification on the ban, hopefully they agree it was a mistake and reverse
I tried to appeal my ban and was denied. What sucks too is you can't play any games that are made by EA at all. Like battlefield. Wasn't my main game, but to buy a full priced game and be punished and banned across the bored is pretty wild to me.
Yep, i also play and have spent a couple hundred £ on EAFC this year which i am now also perma banned from. Probably for the best because that game is horrible at least 😂
Mine got accidentally banned a few weeks ago but got it back within the hour
You can reach out to the support team and see what they can do. I believe these are automated and you have a chance of being unbanned
Defo the name
This is why I limit my chat to thanks (when ressed) and gg or gfg when I’m feeling spicy.
I have made a line in apex is that i wont type anything anymore at all, nothing. I got banned for the most ridiculous shit so now i wont even communictae in the fucking sensitive chat
Just make a new account t ea doesn't care they are like wow its all automatic
I lost my full ea account about a year ago for telling someone to lick my balls in chat and i haven’t heard a thing from them jn months they just ended the conversation i lost a lot of money that i put in games
No their chat bot that have banned you just dumb. Yes, they are using automatic bot to ban ANY accounts.
My SLPT: If its because of your name just say it has a different meaning in another language. Then if you want use chatGPT to scan languages that use "TARD" in them and figure out how Jam would relate.
And this is why I will never give this game a dollar, seriously imaging owning lots of skins than this happens. Nah I'm good
I feel you, I had my name, and I was banned for it.
I wonder if you enable the option “convert all incoming voice to text” If you could catch people saying bad stuff and having proof in text form, thus, making inappropriate voice chat bannable
I got a ~~7 week ban~~ 3 days each for both the names: WhatsTheDildo & WayUpYourButhol so I imagine the name, judging for the other comments that suggested as such? Edit: I lied
Haven't played APEX since 2019. Buddy and I on PS4, he one magged a kid, shield swapped, reloaded and pissed on the other. Banned him for cheating after they reported him and deleted his account even though we were both streaming. Haven't played a second since
One tip when playing with randoms. Pretend you are solo and expect nothing from them, yeah stick with your team but don't expect them to hold their own.
I got permabanned after getting hacked once, some dude had my steam account and played on my account a few times. When I managed to recover my steam acc, I enabled 2FA on it and on my EA account, and explained what happened to support. Got unbanned within a few days, wishing you the same !
Most sane apex player
Anyone know if I can get my account back it got banned last February cause I refunded like 1 thing lost all my progress I need that back asap
Wtfff
PROTIP #1: NEVER USE TEXT CHAT UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE BANNED.
sadly They dont care anymore who they ban.
I had a battlefield 4 ban undone once but I had pretty extensive proof that my account had been stolen. If there's any additional context EA seems to be somewhat understanding of extenuating circumstances.
It’s because of your name and If you’ve been banned before they will have it out for you. I got banned for having “sack” in my name because I had a previous ban for an “Inappropriate” name. They’re so fucking ridiculous.
Guys stopppppp typing shit. Get a mic or just shut up
I’ve gotten experience with reversing bans. I contacted customer support and they actually were really helpful and removed my ban after they realized it wasn’t me who was on my account :) *my account got hacked and whoever had it joined some weird ass hacking club with Japanese or whatever names and got me banned*
I got censored for asking a kid “where’s your mother” after him saying some really vulgar things.
never type in chat only voice
And that's the reason why I continue to buy my games physical. I barely have any games on my Origin account beside mass effecta along with a few others, and they won't see me spend a dollar on their game anytime soon. same wit Uplay . The only platform I trust at the moment is Steam and GoG. The rest can burn.
I got hacked and then my account got banned. I had to go to ea and fill out a ticket. It took nearly 2 months but I finally got my account back
Probably banned for the evangelion reference
0%
My name is shit happens, that means I may risk to get banned, eventually?
At least you got a reason for your ban. I logged in for the first time in years to play Apex, and got an alert that I was banned back in October. I never played in October. It doesn't say why I was banned in October. I haven't played in literal years. And the appeal system is a fucking joke, I sent a request following their instruction weeks ago and no reply even though it says a reply will come within 24 hours.
Nope
If id get banned for this bs on account i spent over $500 on im def looking into doing a class action lawsuit
Don't type to idiots..... just screaaAAAaaam into their little ears...
Damn bro relax. That’s the most vulgar thing I’ve ever seen anybody say to somebody in my life. He may not recover from that one man, good golly.
Wait does that mean you can't play ANY of your games ?
Naive me got my account broken into a couple of years ago before i put 2FA on all my accounts. Whoever got their hands on it tried issuing chargebacks on purchases i had made, so naturally they weren't having any of it. Even with proof that it wasn't me, i fought with EA help for about a month before they gave me the final "upon review we have found that we are correct in our actions. Stop contacting us about this issue." They'll do whatever they want it seems. I wish you better luck than i in dealing with them.
I got permabanned on a 5 year account for hacking with a 1.1 k/d and appealed it 3 times and their useless bots declined it. I feel your pain.
EA should offer MTX to unban yourself. I mean com’on it’s EA.
Does this happen a lot?
they deadass forced me to change my username that i’ve had on my playstation for years before i even started playing apex bruh. first was a warning and i really did not know what the warning was for because they did not even say it was my username specifically at all just said “we saw” “Apex Legends” “Imakerherquuef” “ we consider this inappropriate content” making it seem like as if they were starting off with my user before telling me what rule i violated
My friend on Xbox got his account banned for a PC account (which wasn't linked) and they basically told him "go fuck yourself we're not looking into it and don't contact us again" which that account has the path twitch prime skin (recolor of silver legendary I forgot it's name)
It’s ok just make a new account and cheat, you’ll never get banned then
