i have been trying to contact Activision for so long and still with no response i have been trying to recover my account that i no longer have access to for the past 2-3 years because i typed in a wrong domain on my account which my account is meant to be [protected]@gmail.com but this was long time where i had con written instead of com and never thought of it again and i have 2fa enabled and i can't access a invalid account and i switched to new phone where i lost my access to my authenticator codes till this day im still contacting them here is my account id Arrow#3974956 and the only way that i can access my account is on my PlayStation but if my PlayStation breaks i lose access please help i need someone to contact me on my email [protected]@gmail.com and will provide the full information needed.

I made many request and you guys keep saying unable to process request when the request is the unban my account because it was hacked this is unbelievable. I was not at home the time the account was hacked I was at the navy bootcamp, I would like to be able to play the game again with my friends I spent a good amount of money for the customer support to be this none-understanding. I would love for you guys to be able to process this request or bring this request to a higher up, there isn't anything I could've done at the time. My email is [protected]@gmail.com and my activision account name is kudi#1431358, my battlenet is kudwy3x#1189. I recently tried to tell you guys I have negitive COD points for no reason also I had negitive COD points before I even bought anything on the game.. I would like to buy skins again and Im not looking forward to purchase anything until the COD point problem is resolved because I never spent anything and dont own anything from those purchases.

I have been falsely accused of editing game files and using unauthorized software while playing Call of Duty, I ran an application named Monotone which is a Hardware ID spoofer. I had forgot what it did, so I ran it (Call of Duty was not open during this) and then I hadn't played Call of Duty for at least a week. Today, I opened Call of Duty to find out that I've been permanently banned. I have appealed but it was denied.

Why even have missions in this mode. All you have succeeded in doing is creating another br game. If you tel the stradegy of take out the other teams then you have no time to conplete any missions. So this is now a battle royal map without have to worry the circle is closing. Also those of us that have paid for the game try play fair but the cheaters and hackers that get banned just create a new account cause it’s ftp. So y’all have taken from those of us that actually pay for the game and shot on is

I first got banned in 2021 when I wanted to play warzone after a few months, I do not know why all I know is I got banned, then warzone 2 came out and I played it for a few days and got put under review and after a few days I was able to play again. But then I got permanently banned from it again for hacking and cheating. I never cheated in the game and I played only one or 2 games a day and I wasnt even good at it. So I made another account and tried to play and I got put under review again and then a few days later got perma banned I dont know why and the appeal a ban system is a total scam it just sends u a pre generated email saying they will not overturn the ban. And now I made another account and before I could even play a game I was put under review. I really dont know what to do and activision is really useless in this issue.

So i have been shadowbanned for the 5:th time now. first time ever i been in this loop in videogames. im 40 years old.

I have not cheated, i play sniper on ranked game and my enemys get angry and i guess they are reporting me.

Please lift the shadowbans so i can play with my friends again

I've been rage reported enough to where I've been in the "under review" ban 7 times now or as I've heard others call it "shadow ban" | enjoy playing modern warfare 2 being active duty military I live far from close family and friends this is a way to hang out with eachother and have fun but no one wants to play in shadow ban lobbies full of hackers just because I got a few lucky shots is beyond activating and It makes the game I payed for unenjoyable and unbearable. Fix this.

Good day i am very dissapointed in the reporting system once again. A couple of months ago i was playing on pc and got shadow banned 3 weeks in a row. I then changed to xbox and did not get shadow banned in 6 months. I finally bought a new pc this week of $2000 australian dollars and played two days and guess what im shadow banned again. This is inacceptable that if reported on pc its a immediate ban and i cant even find out why its happened. There is no support for us aswell. Please help me. I was so excited about the new mw3 but if this is what happens everytime i play i will not be buying it.

I have been banned from activsion for over a year now i played over 300 hours of cold war played warzone 1 for ages then got banned for no reason boom a year ago they offer no support they didnt provide any information to what i did only a stupid automated message that everyone receives

This happened august last year and people are being banned to this day and yet and not fixed it..

On July 2nd I moved across the country from Arizona to Alabama. I played the game a few days before the move, and then I put my PC in a shipping container. I arrived in Alabama and decided to try season four reloaded on July 12th since I had my PS5 with me. I played maybe two games and then didn't attempt to play for a few more days when my PC arrived. I set up my pc and immediately saw an error message on my screen signifying that my account had been permanently banned. I have been heartbroken by this. I have spent so many hours in this game playing legitimately. I have also spent nearly $300 on this account. I truly have no idea why my account would be banned. I have tried contacting activision through the Better Business Bureau and by filing multiple tickets.

I understand that the security and enforcement team goes through a very long process before banning accounts, but I am telling you with 100% certainty they got this wrong. I have not and will never cheat in a video game. I love this game way too much to do that. Please, I am begging you to just have someone review my account. I am not a cheater. I play this game with my wife and cousins. I have never even been shadowbanned. I am now playing WZII on the same pc that I was banned on without issue, so I am unsure as to how that would even be allowed. Wouldn't my new account immediately be banned for Hardware ID tagging? This leads me to believe that maybe my account was hacked and the other person's pc would have been hardware ID banned.

Also, I gave my sister my PS4 and had her create an account so that she could play WarZone with us and she accidentally logged into my account at the same time that I was logged into my PC. Could that have flagged my account?

Also, I believe that I was logged into the game when I realized that my time zone was still in Arizona and was manually set so I set it to update automatically. All of this happened right before I went to play the game. I think I was also updating all of my drivers and software since my PC was gone for a while. I have Corsair iCue, ASUS armorycrate, and Logitech GHub on my PC. I know that a lot of people say that those things flag the game.

Look, I really feel like something weird happened here. I have never cheated so can you please have a real person from the security and enforcement team review my account? I just want to play the game.

Get it? Because Prometheus came back from the dead. And I'm innocent, so I too will be back.

No, but seriously. I am innocent. Please help me out.

The game has a system where if you are suspected of violating the security enforcement (using cheats) because players report you in-game for cheating you will be placed "under review" for a time period of 1 day - multiple weeks. During this time your matchmaking takes a lot longer, the matches will have higher ping, and only can queue with other under review players, which means more cheaters. You can also only play certain game modes. This is anti-gamer, because i cannot enjoy playing without worry of someone falsely reporting me because i killed them, not to mention this has happened to me at least 15 times. Ive spent more time WAITING to be able to enjoy the game than actually playing normally. Im stuck in a loop.

I've been recently banned on the date of 13/08/2023, at the approx. 19:00 CET. The ban reason was "unauthorized software and manipulation of game data", even though I've never cheated, neither I had any sort of cheating software on my PC. The ban happened after playing 2 matches of Ashika Island (Resurgence), I've had both matches really good games going more than +15 kills each round. After dying the second game, went back to lobby, before lobby loading screen I've been greeted with the message that my account is banned permanently. Afterwards I've taken the case to Activision Support "Appeal a Ban". There after approx. 6 hours I've received the nice automated message that everyone gets, that I've used "unauthorized software and manipulation of game data". After that I've tried going through their "Recovery" department where usually you get a case number and a confirmation on your email, guess what? Never got any of those, because they have blocked my email, that my guess.

Woke up today to a permaban without even a warning, and it was Steam that notified me of this, not even an email or anything. Put in a support ticket, came back 6 hours later, at 5 AM on a Sunday morning as having been reviewed and confirmed as being unauthorized software and manipulation of game data, and wouldn't be removed. This has to be a false flagging, Steam and Discord are not enough to mess with the game. This false ban is now a mark against my whole Steam account, plus the single player content is locked off to me as well as the multiplayer.

This complaint is being made in regards to my Activision account which "has been permanently banned for using unauthorized software and manipulation of game data". After reaceaving automated bot responses in regard to my ban appeal, the fact that this will not be overturned is completely unfair for someone who has paid over $60 for the game and has never run any type of cheating software on my PC or any PC for that matter.

Looking at my K/D ratio and my stats it would be quite obvious that I'm not cheating, nor ever have. I'm a very casual player and hardly get the change to play the game more than a day or two out of a week.

Additionally, as your software has had access to the kernel level of my computer, I am requesting access to the data and logs that show evidence of the unauthorized software that you claim was running on my computer. Furthermore, as all responses given on this matter are blanket automated replies that are FALSELY described as manual reviews, I wish to make an access request under Article 15 of the GDPR regulations allow for a copy of any information you keep about me, on computer or in manual form in relation to the above incident including the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling and meaningful information about how decisions are made, the significance and the consequences of processing, to be relayed to myself.

To summarize I am requesting an investigation into the unauthorized software you claim was running on my computer along with the logs and personal data you have obtained from me. I will happily co-operate by allowing a security engineer access to my PC to investigate, either through physical drop off or through a remote session.

Furthermore, now as I have no way to play either the multiplayer or the campaign, I am requesting a full refund as the Digital content I paid for is not fit for purpose.

Thank you for considering,

I purchased a PC to play Call of Duty and I use an Xbox controller since I come from Xbox. Ever since the anti-cheat program was added I have consistently been shadow-banned over and over again and I DO NOT CHEAT WHATSOEVER! It's now season 5, I was unbanned the day of the release I played a few games with friends and turned on Nvidia to record my game I got into about an hour of gameplay then got ejected to the main screen. Of course, I checked and I am shadow banned once again. This is ridiculous I get like 2 days of play when I purchase a new battle pass and now I'm banned again. It really sucks cause this is the ONLY game I play. My Activision id is: Daflyingmunk#1119022 Hopefully someone from Activision can actually do their job.
