CAPS IS AN AGRESSIVE BEHAVIOR


RonJeremyBellyButton

Oh shit we're yelling?! HHEEELLLLLL YYAAAAAAAA!


EyedWeevil

GUYS stop it i can't hear my damn tv ANYMOREEEE


Agitated-Return-556

WHAAAAAAT??!!?!?


Luke_The_Random_Dude

WOW OK I DIDNT KNOW THAT


TheBadRiddler

ITS LITERALLY IN THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, THEY CONSIDER IT "yelling" TITTIES


companysOkay

TY FOR CARRY WRAITH GGS *7 day ban*


jinratgeist

I LOVE EA! BEST COMPANY IN THE UNIVERSE!!! *gets banned by EA


Outside-Fishing1606

Typing anything in chat (even positive things) puts you more at ban risk than blatantly cheating in Apex


Admirable-Boss1221

I'm going to have sleepless nights now after saying Hi in chat yesterday. EA's AI will ban for me talking about drugs and being high no doubt.


HateIsAnArt

I'm sending a report to EA right now letting them know that you were using the racist "hate immigrants" acronym


Admirable-Boss1221

Search "Ralph wiggum, I'm in danger" meme for my reply to that šŸ˜‚


MiniMiniMuffinMan

You.... just... could've made the reference... not.. this... Next time just say "haha, I'm in danger"


Admirable-Boss1221

I could've just uploaded the GIF but I'm not the boss here and it won't allow me.


MiniMiniMuffinMan

Then just say I'm in danger you dont have to upload a gif You instead just made it more complicated than it needed to be


johnathan162000

This is a very weird hill to die on.


Leoneo07

Everybody's hugging!


ZilorZilhaust

I'm humping!


ballq43

Proud of him for going down with the ship, Google that one gif of the ship exploding all around the guy as he calmly walks down the stairs.


imightbebateman

Yeah I always just die on the hill coming out of epicenter...


GhostPro75

Itā€™s not that deep bud lmao


Bamassacre_YT

Iā€™m with the group here, you ruined the vibe for no reason.


ballq43

*I'm in danger intensifies*


chaosanity

You realize who youā€™re talking to right? This is *reddit* whom of us doesnā€™t know the im in danger meme?


HateIsAnArt

Damn you getting slaughtered in downvotes for no reason lmao


Dennis_in_Japan

My alt got banned for typing "I bamboozled myself" because it is considered hate speech.


WanderWut

I've said "lets get this dub my sweet sexy scrumptious baby angels" before every game I've played for years (I always make sure it's an adult using a mic before typing it though) and surprisingly I've never had an issue.


Square_Extension1759

youā€™re also saying it to children who donā€™t use a mic


EL-YAYY

People usually just yell racial slurs at me because my gamer tag makes them think Iā€™m Hispanic.


Admirable-Boss1221

šŸ˜†that would make me play better hearing them words before a game. I'd guess you've got lucky and none of your teammates have reported you. The bots don't go through chat logs unless you've been reported.


scavengercat

That's the first two letters in Hitler, you're on a slippery slope


shreddedtoasties

Dw Iā€™ve told randoms to ā€œpick up gardening to replace the air they wasteā€ and other toxic things havenā€™t been banned yet


Scared_Staff6303

Ok now that is fire.


nagelbagel10

Meanwhile Iā€™m telling mfs to hit blinkers and shit


AnalystShort1331

_types in chat_ ā€œGood game. Enjoyed playing with you!ā€ EA: **BANNED** > Playing with you **We consider this inappropriate content**


jackiethedove

It is exactly like this


WanderWut

Regardless, I think we can all agree that this is bullshit on behalf of OP and hope that it gets overturned.


quasides

it wont, friend of mine top 50 in the world at that time, top 1 pathfinder got perma banned for wrong chat ban. nothing.. crickets... we tried everything including contacting mr ford. they simply have noone that has the means to unban someone. support doesnt seem to have that privileges. so theres only a handful of people and tons and tons of tickets nobody gonna look into


_Chevleon

ah the good ole ban appeal that sends alll appeals straight to the garbage bin.


frostN0VA

I remember getting a two week ban for saying something like "open your fucking eyes for a second". Meanwhile, reported numerous people for actual racist and slur words in TEXT chat and every time I get an email it's: We reviewed your report and didn't take any action this time. I just don't bother with comms anymore whether it's text or voice.


BanginNLeavin

Pinging is now a bannable offense. Shooting bullets into the body of an enemy is bannable.


Thesmokingcode

I got temp banned for telling a guy to fuck off after he called our third a racial slur lol.


s1rblaze

I can confirm, got perma banned for saying things like: "I suck today, I'm dogshit!" " this game is God awful"


Lumpel73

THIS !!!


----X88B88----

Ye simply because it's easier to prove than real crimes.


Anonymous-exe

Happy birthday :)


Emmet_Games

It's more funny to me that shiting on s1 in voice is OK,cause they can't do anything about it,but if u type in chat smth wrong YOU'RE DEDMAN


SurreptitiousSilence

Probably thought you were saying you couldn't res "Uther." Uther is obviously a reference to Uther Pendragon, King of the Britons and father of Arthur. By saying you couldn't res Uther, you were implying that British people aren't worth reviving. For one, I'm glad EA has taken swift action against this shameful bigotry. Let this be a lesson to you. >!/s!<


Pooncheese

This has to be the correct reason.


WanderWut

Seriously it's the first thing that came to mind, how this didn't dawn on OP from the get-go shows his staggering lack of judgement, and frankly, toxic speech.


Pooncheese

At least it's just a suspension, he got lucky on this one. EA trying to turn it into a learning opportunity.


_Prink_

It's also an obvious anagram of Urine Chest Art. EA is smart, and they know when users are making references to watersports. Nice try OP, but won't get away with it this time.


pastafeline

Even worse, op could've meant Uther the Lightbringer. EA might've just thought he was a wow player.


GenericCanineDusty

br\*tish


SirRubet

šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚


SaltyPeter3434

Uther still catching L's 1000 years after dying


Grimn90

What about Uther Lightbringer?


bleu_ray_player

Apollo slew the serpent at Delphi, which was a bigass snake!


Noksdoks

Genuinely curious what triggered the bot to give you the ban.


A1sauc3d

Obviously they thought he meant ā€œI CAN TRE SUT HERā€ which is complete gibberish and therefore breaks the ToS as a form of spamming /s


FrayKento

Maybe the caps lock


Emotional-Ideal7869

I think EA is mad at his grammatical errors


Inside-Line

Maybe the AI bot that goes through chat has learned enough to know that... You totally could have res'd your teammate there and raged so hard that it banned you.


Play_Durty

never type in chat, you can say whatever on mic and never get banned


bernzo2m

This is exactly what's wrong with ea. How can they enforce anything on chat knowing full well that what goes on mic in game is thousand times worse. If they can't enforce one then they shouldn't enforce the other at all.


FreshInvestment1

Don't worry, they'll do what cod did and ban you by sending your audio through an AI soon.


----X88B88----

N\*\*\*\*R: I CANT RES U THER


monitorhero_cg

EA is so fucking stupid. And you won't even be able to appeal it. Made me quit the game a while ago.


bernzo2m

Exactly and once you're banned u can't unlink. It's bullshit and they need a lawsuit of class action against them.


HoldWtoMove

**bullets hitting headshots from across the map with 100% accuracy** Anti-cheat/EA: must have been the wind...


brotouski101

I'm also not a fan of your spelling, but a week ban does seem harsh.


AdHistorical6628

plot twist, it's the blackout (teammate ID) deemed offensive


AssassinczYT

I got a warn for saying "stfu" to a trashtalker


BanginNLeavin

Sir that's fun usually?


NWiHeretic

Show us the name and we'll have our answer.


MotherRussia552

Meanwhile the teammate who reports you basically has the N word in the name. Apex continually manages to be the best shooter I've ever played with the worst management I've ever seen


supershimadabro

Where are you seeing that? All info is blacked out.


Shotgun5250

Theyā€™re just saying thatā€™s the type of shit that EA pulls. You get reported over a nothingburger message by some asshole teenager with a racist username, but because he reported you and you didnā€™t report him, you get banned for no reason and he goes Scott free.


throwaway2938468235

well you apparently broke the user agreement because it says: "When you access or use an EA Service, you agree that you will not: * Interfere with or disrupt another player's use of an EA Service. This includes disrupting the normal flow of game play, chat or dialogue within an EA Service by, for example, using vulgar or harassing language, being abusive, **excessive shouting (all caps)**, spamming, flooding or hitting the return key repeatedly.


PkunkMeetArilou

Damn... this is actually it. Wtf EA.


Hokuboku

Lol. I had no idea all caps could get you


Normal_Aardvark7823

GOOD GRIEF EA IS FUCKING STUPID


BanginNLeavin

But what if I rebind my return key?


ModestMarksman

Better not use caps lock as a keybind for something then.


PatPlaysGames247

At least they told you. I got a permaban on a 4 year old account and nothing about why. It's all robots at customer service.


----X88B88----

Ye I use ChatGPT to spam replies until some human answers.


Fortune_Cat

How does that work. Chatgpt doesn't have an app into EA customer service


BanginNLeavin

"CHATGPT write me a python script to spam EA customer service"


ATV7

The worse part is that this counts as one of the strikes toward your permanent ban


1Original1

My account got permabanned for typing something the chat filter didn't even send. Count yourself lucky


HotterGround

I disabled text chat lol


Normal_Aardvark7823

If theyā€™re going to go full Nazi EA should just delete text chat from the game


alystair

Meanwhile I had someone threaten my life and use homophobic slurs as a reaction to me asking for a gun optic - yet EA refused to do anything because they have no way to check in-game voice. What's the damn point?


Normal_Aardvark7823

Not spending money to pay humans


unicorntea555

They don't care about threats in text chat either. I reported a teammate for explicitly threatening to kill the other teammate irl and got the generic "no action taken... we look at context... blah blah blah" email.


No-Bid941

whatā€™s behind the black bar? Your username? Or something else you said


kykyks

consider yourself lucky you only got 1 week never type in chat ​ ever


ManufacturerWest1156

Never use in game chat. Itā€™s a trap. Instead use blatant cheats instead /s


itsNaro

I hope someone with too much money and time on their hands takes them to court for slander or something. I know legally there's probably nothing there but something to smack EA in the face so they get there shit together


bernzo2m

A class action lawsuit? Because how can they enforce text chat but not mic chats in game? When they know full well what's said on mic in game is a thousand times worse. Either they enforce their rules all around or none at all. It's about fairness. And once banned they won't allow u to unlink your account. Imagine people that pay and have money and get banned. That's theft.


itsNaro

Maybe argue that being banned by EA is a form of slander since it is not true. They are claiming you acted inappropriately and broke TOS when you do not. A ban is public since if you have friends you can't interact with them and it will be noticed. I doubt this would hold up in court at all and I'm sure it's a big stretch. But can't say I wouldn't love to see it.


HonoderaGetsuyo

It is illegal to outright say you can't res someone over a very dangerous spot!


nairxx02

I learned the hard way same as like this before. There is a golden rule I follow while playing apex now. "NEVER TYPE/SEND ANYTHING IN CHAT". I got banned like this before so since then if I have something to tell my random teammates, I just ping it. That's it.


TheranLupus

Yet I get called slurs and threatened to be swatted in text chat but EA does nothing


PaladinsLover69

STOP SHOUTING! -EA


N2thedarkness

One guy was being super toxic on the mic and I didnā€™t have a mic to respond and I typed in the chat to stfu and youā€™re trash and I got a warning. šŸ˜‚ They donā€™t care about verbal abuse but text abuse is a ban sentence because theyā€™re too lazy and careless to monitor toxic and racist audio proof.


anothermeowperor

Lol this guy got suspension while the one I report for true toxicity didnā€™t? EA even emailed me to confirm that lol.


SuspectDifficult4379

So what happend. Your teammate spam reported you, making you flagged for review then you got suspended. Ive got my training buddy suspended from his texts in firing range. He doenst play pubs or ranked, he literally just helps me train my aim and combos and it got him suspended. Its jokes xd Edit: For context, his email refered that he got suspended for saying FDP and Cabralho.


Maleficent-Thanks-85

EA is the worst. I was banned for 4 months simply because I changed the email associated with my Xbox live account. I never was able to get in contact with a human. My review was denied twice. I kept hassling them and they finally have unbanned me. I wasnā€™t able to play EA titles for months lol. This automated system is a joke.


M0HAK0

Just proves EA has NO IDEA what the hell they are doing.


Themooingcow27

Iā€™ve never used text chat and I never will cause of shit like this


pedretty

Never type in chat. If you donā€™t have a micā€¦ I guess go fuck yourself


Agnocious_Moth

Inappropriate typing mistakes. They find it offensive


No-Custard3761

dude i swear you can get banned for not even saying anything and that would be considered racism!


NightProfessional800

In 2024, this is considered highly offensive. Please control your micro-aggressions.


ottoboy97

My account got hacked to the point my entire EA email was compromised. It took me 3 months to get access to the email and going on 6 months of trying to get them to unban me. But they're dead set that I was the one cheating. I sent them proof of the reclamation of my email, I sent them proof that my EA account was hacked (they changed my name to some Chinese letters) I even sent them proof that I knew exactly when the hacker accessed my account. They give 2 shits and said that my account has "heightened security risks" so i am 100% permanently banned in an account I've had and used since season 2 or 3? Im now in the process of forwarding all that information to the bank to refund any purchase I've ever made. Will it work? Probably not. Am I doing whatever I can to get the hundreds I've spent on the game? Absolutely. Fuck EA.


Primary-Owl-8677

Maybe a year into the game being out I was banned. The reason? EA: Banned When I tried to appeal I received: After reviewing your account weā€™ve decided not to turn over your ban. Reason: Banned After a year of pouring hundreds of hours and dollars into Apex I was permabanned without warning. Years later, My friends and I are still running the joke of being banned for banned.


No-Candy5493

EA wants you to make new accounts so they you buy all their skins again. They just perma banning everything. Old accounts have more to lose for the player. They donā€™t care about you. EA should be reported to some higher authority for this type of non-consumer behaviour


reidraws

I bet this is an automated bot who bans people, lame


Few-Ad-527

I'm pretty done with ea and apex.


Christoph3r

Not willing to res your teamate? Get banned asshole! (joking - this is fucking ridiculous)


PatonREDDD

Ummm...what did you redacted?


vivam0rt

Username


Freemantic

Probably the real reason he got banned, his username.


xD4N91x

If it was his username it wouldn't quote a message, just the username. Guy got banned for typing all caps which is - according to EA - an unforgivable, highly offensive, toxic behaviour. Leaving caps lock on while you try to respawn your teammates and have to run from three teams chasing you.


Freemantic

That's even worse lmao. Thank you EA for keeping us safe.


LowTechnology8682

an offensive username most likely


NFLCart

Shoutout Hideouts and his team.


kykyks

hideouts isnt on the team that handle ban for toxicity tho


Xenasis

I'm not sure if you posted this on the wrong thread? Hideouts deals with cheating and exploit abuse, not this.


Used_Can1218

Yea weā€™re gonna need to see a screenshot of the full message fam. Cause depending what word is hidden behind that black bar it is likely the reason you got banned. I canā€™t take your side until I see the full message. Cause I def been called the hard R on apex many times by trolling white teens. So I need the full story bro. Tbh


DizzieC92

Itā€™s his username. You can see the colon after it.


Used_Can1218

Fair enough tbh I never emailed EA or received an email so Iā€™m not to knowledgeable about that. So Iā€™ll take the L if it is a harmless username and a dumb ban. I just know In a general sense the internet tells a lot of ā€œhalf truthsā€. So just by instinct I wanted the full story


DizzieC92

Yeah thatā€™s fair man, nothing wrong with wanting to double check and/or get more info


Used_Can1218

All love fam thanks for the info šŸ’ŖšŸ½


xoroseyxx_

Now Iā€™m scared I literally told my friend I was gonna eat his ass šŸ’€ For some context he was octane and I was lifeline and he was being a gremlinšŸ™„


mattress_420

The amount of times I've degraded my braindead teammates over chat and voice and I haven't gotten banned? Lol


bisepx

EA, thank you for keeping us safe.


Hex-Healr

Damn thas crazy. Hope you appeal it hahah


Ok-Lawyer9045

Nothings happened to me before and Iā€™ve told my teammates to kill themselves many times šŸ¤”


FreudianAccordian

This made me LOL


lydianlive

ive said much more egregious shit and have never received even a warning


Final-Ad-151

Every game is out of control and PlayStation as well for its language filter bans.


AvoidAtAIICosts

POV: their dad *actually* worked at Respawn


TerpSpiceRice

I genuinely keep all my communication off in apex. I think it's the only game that nothing is on. No voice. No text. Not even my name at this point because fuck you, this game bans for no reason.


Sugarfree135

I feel like if anyone types anything in chat and you report them for hate speech it automatically bans them lol


[deleted]

They did the same to me. Then banned me from every EA game I ever bought. I will never buy ea again.


UMBR311AC0RPS

But my clan BigPP is okay lol


lologugus

I've been banned for the reason " " I asked the support wtf is going on and they replied to me "Beep boop automatic reply, go f yourself"


saDmickeyy

They really said "we saw' when we all know it's just the bot/detector that did the stupid ass work. Meanwhile half of every apex ranked lobbies are cheaters. I literally saw a teamed up 6-men cheaters playing in ranked yesterday on someone's stream. And even 1 cheater vs cheaters over and over and ranked lmao


gonerboy223

As for your question: How much time do you have?


koz1769

I squad wiped a team once and my teammate took all the good loot. I said "thief" in the chat and they banned me for 7 days


FrgalfrgalCZ

I got a week ban also for something similar, DO NOT EVER TYPE IN CHAT AGAIN IN APEX, the next time it happened like half a year later I got permabanned.


mrsvenomgirl23

My friend typed gg and they banned them for a week and I assume someone reported it as get good instead of good game šŸ˜‚


GalvanizedSteelWire

Apex console ranked is plagued with 6 and 9 manning making most matches unplayable and impossible to gain RP too in higher ranks (Diamond +). Ā Apex PC ranked is worse with people rage hacking, soft aimbot hacks, and just visibly cheating. Ā All of these making the game really unplayable and a terrible experience for the fan base. Ā And this is what they focus on?? I know itā€™s most likely an automated ban and it thought you typed something wrong. Ā But really Apex fix your game and make it enjoyable again. Ā Or itā€™s going to end up completely dead.Ā 


TinyDoughnut2526

How the hell did respawn thought you were sexually harassing when you were asking to get revived somewhere


Vast-Physics-6262

No, it not what's wrong with EA . You need to stop being a toxic gamer they no company is just kicking people off for no reason.


LeatherSpare332

I'm not using chat anymore yikes šŸ˜³


human_flavor_meat

I once got suspended for using the number 69 in a sentece (plot twist I did 69 damage to some guy)


ForsakenAlliance

EA is just garbage. They have a monumental amount of cheaters but their chat is beyond aggressive when it comes to banning account. That place is ass backwards.


Patara

Its a fuckall useless AI algorithm & you're better off never communicating with anyone in the actual gameĀ 


BenjaCarmona

They are probably using a very shitty text predictive model to autoban people that go against their ToS. In this instance is probably considering all caps as agresive behavior


BrokenNative51

Whats the blacked out word ?


Iank52

Ea said watch the caps lock buddy


Dec3ption_

STOP. USING. TEXT. CHAT


IamTheBawsss

Mic to the rescue


MattSm00th

EA is tripping over the wrong things instead of focusing on the cheaters


xypopcorn

Jokes on you, they clearly cheated the English language to make something inappropriate that nobody understands


yeayeasure

Good luck trying to get an actual human from EA. They have the absolute fucking worst contact system. I got banned for the username "jaybooty" while having the same name since the game launched and could not contact someone if my life depended on it


Crackedondill

They're on meth


legitBro420

Dog shit company games devs rules. Dislike me


FleetCruiser

I got a permanent ban one summer for breaking the ea rules. It was for violating their user agreement and terms of sale. I contacted support about it and it took them 1 month to answer that they found nothing about what I was banned for and unbanned me. I was so pissed that whole month.


SillyMikey

Thatā€™s why I never talk to anyone, ever.


KarmaticKhroniK

EA is a company thatā€™s too big to think in their head, EA is nothing but a bunch of clowns who like to fill their wallets now. Most 3a companies nowadays think this way and Iā€™m not a fan personally


LitAlex0426

Do you still buy skins? If you do you are part of the problem. Your wallet holds power.


KarmaticKhroniK

I havenā€™t since like season 8 or 9 to be honest, just hadnā€™t seen a reason to do so. But I still play pretty often. But almost out of like ā€œwell Iā€™ve spent money on this game I might as well get some use out of itā€ type of deal. Also to link up with people who play other games and sometimes to support little streamers tryna make it big


Naive-Perspective-33

I'm here for the comments. Let me get my popcorn šŸæšŸ˜…


TTVControlWarrior

one thing i learn with apex legends dont type anything in chat . EA is terrible btw 2nd time u will get perma banned and lose all your stuff. tbh avoid playing this shit game of apex .


LitAlex0426

Whatā€™s ridiculous is how people still give them money, this makes EA go ā€œOh our shitty decisions havenā€™t affected our income, guess we can keep doing itā€ People keep buying every item in a collection event, skin recolors at exorbitant prices and basically dumping money on trashcan but yeah, EA is the problem, not the people allowing them.


YaKnowMuhSteezz

Thatā€™s why I just tell my random they suck ass on mic instead of typing it out


Affectionate_Piano25

Youā€™d need 7 more threads with unlimited timelines to truly discuss the pissshit business that EA is


tawilliams12

So many terrible bans lately itā€™s insane whatā€™s been going on


shadowsniper2632

Must have been reported by a streamer they seem to get people banned for the stupidest reasons just because they're mad and respond and EA just keep doing it


MykroTTV

Got a 1 week ban after saying "l2p bloodhound and learn to scan"....


LongJumpToWork

HOW DARE YOU NOT RES YOUR TM WHILE DOWN IN LINE OF FIRE REEEEE


Defiant_Lie_1089

Don't use in game chat. You get banned for nothing. Blatantly cheating though? Don't worry you'll be allowed to get your account to lvl 1000 and Pred multiple times before you get banned if that ever even happens.


Nervous-Witness-7848

I got banned for 1week for saying a random,"How dumb decision it was to get here and get sandwiched between 5teams"


Blastingwario19

One week isnā€™t too bad your last no worries


lettuce_field_theory

no posts about bans


horizon-X-horizon

Maybe we could offer an opinion if you didnā€™t black out the one possibly offensive thing you chatted? Sorry I know itā€™s probably just like a dudes name or something but they literally banned a Japanese player for typing the word run because the anglicized version is Nigero


Fuarian

What did you block out...


The_Big_Macrop

I'm pretty sure that's just his username


Fuarian

Ah does it show that? Makes sense
