My login whas leaked and I needed to screenshot the chat of the xbox support for proof, things where clear now and I thought I can finally proof them wrong, so I contacted activision again they told me send the proof and we will message you back in a couple of days, so I sended the proof and 2 days later they told me some things are out of there scope and they could not unban me…… my account worth more then a 1000+$ level/skins/bundels/camos everything! Disgusting

Dear Activision Support Team,

I have received a notification that my Call of Duty account (Username: Suprim#8600800) has been permanently banned due to alleged use of unauthorized software or game data manipulation.

I want to clearly state that I have not used any cheats or unauthorized software and have always played the game fairly. I am shocked by this ban.

It is possible that my account was compromised. I have already changed my password and enabled two-factor authentication as a precaution.

Please review my case again and let me know if there is any specific evidence or suspicious activity that triggered this ban. I am willing to fully cooperate to resolve this issue. Additionally, someone logged into PSN but I play on PC?!

Thank you for your assistance.

Best regards,

Daniel Lukas

p.s. the software I use : Malware Bites, exitlag/nolag, icue, Kingston, AMD Adrenalin, Gigabyte control Center, GoXLR,

I have gotten several warnings and finally a 14 day ban for offensive language. The icing on the cake? I was not on chat or headset.

I’m a lead developer for my company, and if you’d like an adult to show you how technology works, I’m more than willing. Clearly, whoever you are paying a teachers salary to isn’t cutting it. Bonus points if it’s “AI”. I use that in quotes, because no self respecting company allows rudimentary AI to make decisions in Production.

Goodbye Call of Duty. It was a nice run. So long Activision and your seven employees 😂🤣

Hi I was contacting in regards of a permanent ban I just received. I requested an appeal which I got back awfully quick saying they reviewed my appeal and denied it. It seemed like an auto generated email. I have never cheated nor thought about it ever on a video game. I have no reason to or gain anything from it. I requested an appeal and I feel like they didn't not review my game play or my stats to see that im not cheating. I enjoy playing this game I paid all this money for. I serve my country in the military and when I get home I wind down by playing some cod. It helps me relax with my mental health issues I'm having and now I'm told I'm cheating and can ne er play again. I'm just requesting someone to review my account and see that its not the case please. My name is NetflixNKill123#5036982

dear activision , hello my name is abdelfattah im play call of duty : mobile before 2 years
I was surprised when I opened the game and found a warning that I was using obscene words, knowing that I do not use the microphone or speak on the global chat. I need help to open my account again and return to the game.
The Ban say ( you have violated the game behavior ) open in [protected] ) ?
im sure i dont violate the game behavior :( pleas fix this issue and return my account , Thanks

Dear Activision team,

I can't get a shadowban just because someone reported me out of anger or boredom! I have never cheated! I'm on vacation and wanted to play with my boys...and again I was reported and have to wait 5 days!

I played every CoD until I got engaged, then sold my account... the relationship ended and I bought a new one because I didn't want to start from scratch. You can see that I don't cheat?! Is there no way to get out of the loop? I'm a fan who has been playing since Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare (2007)! Look at my stats, playing time or in-game purchases or that I am at max level.

I know you have a lot to do, but I ask for your indulgence.
Kind regards, Daniel

Suprim#8600800

Dear Activision Support Team,

I am writing to formally address the sudden and unexplained permanent ban on my Call of Duty account, allegedly due to the use of unauthorized software and manipulation of game data. I would like to clarify that I am a casual player who has never engaged in any form of cheating, hacking, or the use of third-party software that violates Activision's policies.

This ban has come as a complete shock to me, as I have always played the game within the framework of fair play and integrity. I have no knowledge of any actions or software that could have triggered such a penalty. Despite submitting a ban appeal through your official system, my appeal was rejected without any detailed explanation or evidence provided to support the claims against me.

Key Points of Concern:
False Allegations:
The accusation of using unauthorized software and manipulating game data is entirely baseless. As a casual player, my primary focus has always been to enjoy the game with friends and participate in its community. I have not engaged in any activities that would warrant such an accusation.

Lack of Transparency:
I have received no specific information or evidence detailing what actions led to my ban. This lack of transparency makes it impossible for me to understand or address the issue effectively.

Impact on My Experience:
This ban has unfairly restricted my access to a game that I have invested both time and money in. It has also negatively impacted my gaming experience and trust in Activision’s player support process.

Ban Appeal Rejection:
While I understand that Activision takes cheating seriously, I believe my ban appeal was unjustly rejected without proper investigation or consideration of my case.

Request:
I kindly request that my account undergo a thorough and detailed review by a senior member of the support team. Additionally, I ask for clarity on the evidence or data used to justify this ban. If no concrete evidence exists, I respectfully ask for the ban to be lifted immediately and my access to the game to be restored. I have supplied screenshots of my game files, as well as my ban email and appeal.

I take pride in following the rules of any game I play, and this situation has been deeply frustrating and disheartening. I am more than willing to cooperate fully to resolve this matter fairly and transparently.

Thank you for your time and attention to this issue. I look forward to your response.

Sincerely,
Jordan

This is some straight up Bull****... It's the second time I get put in a limited matchmaking, for what? Playing YOUR GAME?!?!? wtf is up with gaming these days? You can't go in and chill without getting destroyed every game and now I get limited matchmaking and only play with full squads using AIMBOT?! How is this fair? what kind of anti cheat software is this, its so broken.

i downloaded call of duty on steam and having my shaders finished when bo6 comes out i close the game then the next day i receive a ban ive been using unautorized software and manipulation of game data. How is it possible literally banning innocent people.. I dont even play warzone, mw2 or mw3 i was ready to try out the beta i received a code from treyarch on twitter. Never touched any form of cheating software or done anything ever. Now i have a false vac ban on my steam profile please fix this issue.

I am a long time call of duty player. I have the latest game installed on my Xbox. I recently went in to play a few matches with my friends only to find out I have been banned for using unauthorised software and manipulating game data. I have no idea where that came from. Furthermore, I have invested so much time (20+ days of playtime) and so much money (over $400); why would I risk all of that. I have been a call of duty fan since COD4. Make this right.

I play Cod on Xbox whenever I’m off work or off college I love playing MW2 & MW3 one day I’m at work and somebody logged into my account through steam without my knowledge and I find out about it 30 minutes later only god knows what could’ve happened in those thirty minutes when I got off work and hopped on to play some cod I noticed two strange blueprints of camos I never unlocked which struck me as strange I didn’t know who to report it to and literally two weeks later I get perm banned and activision support is no help they say I’ve used some third party software but I didn’t even play on anything besides my Xbox idk how to solve this problem or what to do to regain access to my account

So about a month ago I decided to relax play zombies and get weekly challenges done I logged on in the evening as I usually do after the weekly challenges became available "have been doing this sense launch btw with out issue" this weekly update for season 3 brought on a memory leak that caused extreme lag I just figured it would wear off after a few mins but that wasn't the case I just got what ever I could get done despite the lag 20mins go by and I decide to jump out so the memory leak using 98% of my memory wouldn't damage my pc im guessing the second I got back to the main lobby I was shadow banned then over night was upgraded to a perma ban I appealed because that was 100% false then they hit me with the deny I later learned there was a data breach and other issues the game was having at the time could have triggered the ban and all their support responses are just automated and you are 90% of the time not talking to a real person and they don't re look into things.

call of duty has been in a horrible state. i got shadowbanned for playing the game normally and i got one of my accounts deleted for also playing the game properly, activision is nothing but a krab that loves money they also dont care about the cod community at all, instead of listening they just release a bundle and a camo and pretend they are listening to the community. also the anti cheat sucks [censored], they release a update then 1 day later the cheat devs release a patch to their cheat so it becomes undetected again.

A hacker was able to access my Activision account and link a steam account without any kind of email confirmation. This user was unable to play call of duty MW3 under my name on their steam account. When I noticed, friends were being added, that I did not add, and I started being kicked off-line, because there were too many user request for my account, I reached out to Activision for support. I also reset my password to ensure anyone with a I also reset my password to ensure anyone with unauthorized access would be kicked out. They did not respond in a timely manner. As a result, the hacker was able to play a considerable amount enough to warrant a ban. When I tried to appeal the case, and explained that I had taken all of the steps that a person should take in this case to secure my account, Activision declared as the account holder it is my fault for any unauthorized access. I will never again purchase an Activision game or any Activision affiliated game.

So recently, I have been playing warzone 2, DMZ to be specific. They promised us so many fixes with season 2's update and I gota tell ya. The game is worse than ever before. And they do NOTHING about it. They made a, what, 17gig? Update for this game that was nothing but weapon skins, maps and other nonsense that did NOTHING to resolve problems with the game. I give it a 2 star, because they have a really l, REALLY fun game. It's a damn shame that it's glitches and buggy as all Hell. This company is more concerned to sell battlepasses and the game itself rather than actually giving a $#*! about its players. For any activision employee that would possibly read this, pull your head out of your $#*!.

Why the flying fudge is there a canted laser sight on the mcpr sniper rifle. It is the stupidest thing I have ever seen.

I have been a fan of Activision games, especially the Tomb Raider Franchise.

I recently got banned on my COD account on blizzard for absolutely no reason. I have been told that I have been hacking and using software and that is completely false as I have never used anything like that. I've grinded my account for years and to be wrongfully convicted of something like this is wrong, I have tried many many many times to reach Activision to figure out a resolution and nothing about this issue is being helped. It even got to the point where I had to re-buy the game in order to play again, to later find out my account is shadowbanned and that I can't play online with others. I don't understand this as I've done nothing wrong! I can't tell you the amount of times I've complained about how many hackers are on Warzone and Modern warfare and now I'm amongst them?! Please somebody help me as i'm honestly begging for help at this point. I've tried to get in contact through twitter multiple times, tried calling, put out tickets, and now to this. It's just super upsetting at this point. Hopefully I can reach a resolution

Account got perm banned after not logging in for 2 weeks and then playing plunder: blood money for 5 games I have contacted activision support many times but the results are the same, the support just answered: "I was able to confirm that Security actions were taken on your account, unfortunately, as player support we don't have the exact details as to why this happened, however, please be aware that the Enforcement team runs a thorough investigation before taking these actions on the account so all bans are final and not subject to review or appeal, and therefore are irreversible. For more details about this please check our Security and Enforcement policy" I've been playing this game for over a year at most kills is 24 and the next day a shadowban / review is required, but that's okay if it's just a shadowban and not a perm ban, but now i am getting perm banned i hope my old stream can proof i never using cheat or anything https://www.facebook.com/MikkiMiwari I hope you can reconsider I will definitely give a better review when the problem with my account is solved, thanks

False bans are discouraging recurring customers. Chip in $1,000,000 from your budget towards more competent anticheat devs and quality assurance members. The fact that this passed QA is incredibly concerning. A few stupid implementations I've read/experienced are: - Getting more than 15 kills in WarZone (20 now), gets you shadowbanned until a team member manually reviews your game footage. - Using software distributed by mouse manufacturers to adjust DPI and refresh rate false flags you to be manually reviewed. - If your account gets reported enough, you are automatically due for a manual review. Anticheats should be a dynamic system and need not limit players based on arbitrary values, which are totally achievable by any legitimate player. Your anti-toxicity team should be focused more on interactions between players rather than reviewing gameplay footage triggered by false flags. You are burning money this way. Some members report waiting up to two weeks for their account to be reinstated for false flags. I'll remind you, each of your games come out yearly. You are inducing, what I presume are recurring customers, a whopping 4% of the game's remaining life to COD jail. Most of the players who are getting banned are genuinely good players who actually enjoy the game and are more receptive to buying microtransactions. The entire system is a money pit, the game itself has minor bugs here and there, but nothing that surpasses the severity of this.

All of my personal information such as bank details and all passwords saved on my
PC were compromised and I had a Trojan virus on my PC now I have lost access to my account but when I retrieved it it’s now permanently banned. I have had this account for YEARS with no suspicious activity and spent lots of money and time on it and now
It’s permanent banned for good - very poor considering I am a long serving loyal member
Of the community - I need my account back and my account recovery request 587766015 and ticket 34421067 have been declined. I need further support from a manager

My Activision account (SupremezZ#7723428) was permanently banned around Dec/Jan for alleged bot use. However, my Steam and Google accounts were hacked during that time, and I lost access for two weeks. I worked with Steam support to recover my account and, upon regaining access, discovered the ban. I immediately appealed, providing proof, but received only automated denials. I’ve been a respectful player for over 2 years with no prior violations, invested $300+, and had just grown a Twitch channel to 500 followers in 1.5 months. Due to the ban, I lost all progress and had to stop streaming. I’m not asking for refunds—only a fair review. I ask that the permanent ban be lifted, acknowledging my account was compromised. I’ve also submitted a legal notice to Activision, reported the case to the Federal Trade Commission, and hired a digital entertainment law attorney to oversee the process. I love this game and want to be part of the community again.

ear Activision Support,

This is my third attempt to contact you regarding the shadow ban placed on my account following a match on December 20, 2024. I have yet to receive a meaningful response or resolution, despite waiting patiently for over six months.

As previously stated, this ban occurred directly after a server-side incident where gameplay was heavily disrupted — presumably due to a hacker attack that affected multiple users. Immediately following the crash, I was banned without warning or explanation. Since then, my access to ranked mode has remained blocked, and I have been unable to participate in fair, competitive play.

I want to once again stress that I have never engaged in cheating, exploitation, or any behavior that violates your terms of service. I have invested significant time — and money — into this account and have every right to a transparent review process and a resolution.

If this issue is not resolved promptly, I will have no choice but to begin formal legal proceedings to dispute this unfair restriction and pursue compensation for the prolonged loss of access to content and services I have paid for.

Please escalate this matter to the appropriate team and provide a detailed response at your earliest convenience.

Sincerely,
Vlad Gabriel

I was playing ranked in plat when I had a good teammate who helped me hit diamond 1 and the next day I was banned. I was told I was cheating, when infact, I do not. My activision case number is [protected]. On the date of 5/26/2025 I played a few good games, and on the 27th of may I recieved a ban.

My account (details in photos) Permanently banned from a game and FALSELY accused of using unauthorised software and manipulating game data, have done nothing of the sort and have spent hundreds of dollars on battle pass/ skins and games. Submitted a ticket, [protected] Explaining that I had just moved house, and sometimes login at another address when travelling and have never used external software to gain advantage in game. I asked for support to explain how this might have happened, and recieved only a generic response with no further clarification how this could have happened.

I have spent hundreds to thousands of dollars on transactions buying the games linked to the account and items within the game and have never once manipulated it for my own gain. I log in, update and play and have no interest in cheating nor the knowledge or means to do so.

I have not been able to speak to a real person and have not been able to find any information as to why this has occurred. Just an email with no opportunity to reply and no further clarification. Please help.

Hello,

I am a full-time streamer and content creator who has consistently played and streamed Call of Duty since Modern Warfare 2019. I’ve purchased Modern Warfare 3 and Black Ops 6 on my account, along with several bundles, totaling around $200 to $250 in purchases.

Unfortunately, with the launch of Black Ops 6 Season 1, my account was mistakenly flagged and given a campaign ban. As a result, I am now unable to play ranked matches, which is a critical part of my content creation.

This situation is severely impacting my career and reputation as a dedicated creator in the Call of Duty community. I respectfully ask that my account be reviewed and restored so I can continue playing ranked, purchasing Battle Passes, and supporting the game.

If recovery isn’t possible, I kindly request a refund so I can use the funds on a different account.

Thank you for your time and understanding.

Ive spent roughly £60 on the game after getting it 5-6 days ago , since then ive played verdansk casual and a lot of multiplayer in order to get dark matter. Im on an average kd of 2.5 , which shows that i am not cheating due to the fact it would be higher. I had used bot lobbies in order to finish my melees , which may show a spike in my stats however it has been said thats unbannable if not used for ranked or smurfing in order to get a competitive advantage. I was banned for unauthorized software & manipulation of game data , however I have never cheated nor changed any files within my game. My username is ace2x#6627530 and I request the information of which I was banned upon as I have no softwares that will give me an advantage ingame , Ive heard DS4 windows may fall into that category however Ive never launched that at the same time as black ops 6 due to that being a controller emulator I use in order to play minecraft bedrock on my pc with a ps4 controller ( as they only support xbox controllers). If possible I request a technician to check through my pc in order to find what was flagged on my account , and hopefully help in getting the account unbanned. I am happy to let them check through everything , including whatever files were flagged as unauthorized, and those files will be deleted from my computer immediately , as I know Ive never tried to cheat and this may be something thats occured due to software Ive used for other games in which its allowed for.
Thank you to whoevers reading this & for taking it into consideration.

I have been put into limited matchmaking again . This is the second or third time and each time its proven i dont cheat or have any advantage. My K/D is quite bad and my aim is pretty poor if you watch any of my game play you will see i miss the majority of my shots. Why does this keep happening my name in game is DougEFresh1417
my account on activision is Stony17#1110

I was wrongfully permanently banned on my 12+ year old World of Warcraft account along with many others on February 26, 2025. I received an email when I had walked away from my computer for
a bit stating:

"We have closed this game account due to exploitative activity involving unauthorized cheat programs (commonly known as hacks).

- Game Account Name: WOW#1
- Account Action: Account Closure
- Offense: Exploitative Activity: Unauthorized Cheat Programs (Hacks)".

I immediately created a suspension appeal ticket and did everything the website said to secure a compromised account, even sending screenshots in my appeal tickets.

I don't know why anyone would cheat at World of Warcraft and go as far as to use "cheat programs/hacks". I have never received any sort of suspension or warning for anything, but they do not care, it's all only AI and bot responses, there is no one there to support us players anymore, it is a disgrace. Activision/Blizzard should feel embarrassed and ashamed.

I have not received a single helpful response. I am maybe 11 tickets in, only receiving useless copy and paste responses by "Game masters", not even bothering to look into the issue and fix their wrong. I have spent thousands of dollars and even more hours on this game, only to have my long-time account closed for fake, non-legitimate reasons and with no actual support to help me.

I lost access to my Call of Duty Mobile account after the latest season update. when I logged in, a new account was created instead of my original one.
I contacted Activision Support, but they provided no helpful response or solution.
I need urgent assistance to recover my lost COD Mobile account and restore my progress.
Previous Account Username: ¥Ħäşśi_612*
• Linked Account: none
• Last Login Date: 19 February 2025.
• Game Level: game level was 59 or 60
• Device Used: iOS
• Issue Details: After the new season update, my original account disappeared, and when I logged in a new account was created instead.

Falsely accused of cheating in a ranked game in black ops 6 multiplayer which resulted in me being shadow banned. I do understand they want to take cheaters out of the game but the way they do it ridiculous, it should not be an instant shadow ban after a few reports it should be a check of the account and analysis of potential violations then to be dealt with accordingly. I DO NOT cheat in fact I’m not even good enough to be accused of cheating but I had an amazing game and it’s resulted in this.

Dear Activision Support Team,

I am reaching out to formally contest the shadow-ban imposed on my account ([iMamodi]) in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 (Platform: PC , Battle.net). This action seems to be the result of a systematic error, likely triggered by flawed automated detection systems or mass false reporting. I respectfully request an immediate review and transparent resolution to this matter.

1. Background & Commitment to Fair Play As a loyal and passionate player since [2010], playtime and significant in-game purchases, I have always adhered to Activision’s Security & Enforcement Policy (Section 3.1). My account history reflects zero prior violations, underscoring my commitment to fair and legitimate gaming. 2. Appeal Justification •False Allegations: My recent gameplay statistics (K/D Ratio: [2.02], Win Rate: [1.35]) reflect skill-based performance, not any form of cheating or exploitation. It is likely that envious opponents have abused the report system, leading to this unjust shadow ban. •Zero Unauthorized Activity: I have never used, nor do I condone, any third-party software, hardware modifications, or exploits. My gaming setup strictly adheres to Activision’s terms of use and community guidelines.

Unwarranted Disruption: The shadow ban has caused unnecessary frustration and disrupted my ability to enjoy the game fairly. This situation undermines the trust and loyalty I have maintained as a member of your gaming community.

I kindly urge your team to thoroughly review my account and gameplay records to rectify this misunderstanding. As a loyal player and supporter of the franchise, I trust in Activision’s commitment to fairness and accountability.

Please feel free to contact me if further details are required to expedite the resolution of this matter.

Lastly i will say that i watch competitive Call of Duty daily (CDL) and I love this game and won't ever cheat on it , I play this game since PS3 black ops1 all the way every single title I've been a fan, so please whitelist my account i didn't cheat in the past 15 years so why start now.

Sincerely, Ebrahim [iMamodi]

“A loyal player wronged by a flawed system.”

I was playing Black Ops 6 yesterday and fine and all of a sudden I was hit with a permanent ban on my account for unauthorized software but how all I was playing on was playstation 5 and nothing else the enforcement team said I was and how can they prove it if I was playing the new map Bullet train and later that night 19:30 and when I went on to the game it said I was permanently banned

I was shadowbanned on cod6 multiplayer, I do not cheat and if you took a quick look at my account it would be clear that I have never used a cheat and will never use a cheat! I get spam reported because I am a female player, every game at least one person tells me that they are reporting me because "girls shouldnt play this game" which is clearly the reason I have been shadowbanned is because of the spam reports. The game I got disconnected from I was using the acoustic amp field upgrade which meant I could hear exactly which direction the enemy was coming from which is why I turn and killed them, they then told me they'd reported me which then instantly got me disconnected. This is clearly not a cheat as it is a field upgrade in your game. It is a terrible system you use and if this problem is not rectified I am uninstalling the game and never playing it again as you do not seem to care at all about the legitimate players that play the game. My activision id is blaze-_-#7971074

Hello, I am struggling to get in contact with Activision due getting shadow ban loop constantly which caused me not to being able to play a game that I have paid a full price for a full access.

I have no ability to appeal for my case nor getting any responses back from them unless its shallow and useless response.

I am a victim of an abusive reporting system that got me not being able to play at all whenever I encounter anyone that threatens to report me suspiciously if im hacking or walling through out the game and everytime someone reports me (even if its a single report) I get kicked off to being shadow banned. basically a shadow ban loop.

I managed to play a game which is 4v4 Ranked play and I had recorded the abuse of using the reporting system which has literally kicked me off the game to being shadow-banned again me and my "whole" team, one of my teamates is a streamer on twitch (ikzlur)

I confirm I use no tools to get advantage over other players nor boosting or anything that violates safe & security policy.

I'll attach the video of the gameplay and send you a proof linked on youtube.

I been falsely banned on black ops 6, warzone
As they say I was hacking which I don't I been playing on the same account for the last 5 years and played fairly as I don't ever support cheating
I'm fully against it
As I wanna try and get my account back as they denied my appeal I feel like I been walked over on by the security and enforcement team
But I do hope I can get my account unban as soon as possible and get back to playing normally again.

Yesterday I was logging in to COD to play a match or two since i haven't been online for a months only to find a ban message that said temporary ban on the game.

"Your appeal has been reviewed and we've confirmed with our security team that your account has been permanently banned for using unauthorized software and manipulation of game data**. As you were the account holder at the time of infraction, your ban will not be overturned."**

I have never used any hacks or changed any game data, I haven't even been online the past 3-4 months and I play on PlayStation so I don't even know how it's possible for me to hack on my PS5.

I am being penalized for something I didn’t do and I am unable to log on into my activision account to appeal to the ban. Is there another way I can get my account back because I’ve spent lots of money on that account.

On 12/24/2024 at approximately 0800, I was permanently banned for an unknown reason from COD Black Ops 6. I played the several days in a row before with no notification of any wrong doing and there was no indication of a shadow ban or any type of disciplinary actions.

I have attempted to appeal the ban on Activision website but it will not let me start or complete the appeal process.

It will be gratefully appreciated if we can resolve this as soon as possible and advising me of what caused the ban on my account and that it is not repeated on my end if I am the one at fault.

Respectfully,

Nathan Scherbek

Attached are the screen shots from 12/24/2024.

I am incredibly frustrated to be accused of something i haven't done, especially when i am passionate and spend so much time honing my skills. Unfortunately, systems like Activision's anti-cheat and reporting mechanisms are often automated, and they can be manipulated by malicious or frustrated players. Here’s a breakdown of my concerns:

1. Repetitive Shadow Bans

Shadow bans are often triggered when a large number of reports are filed against a player in a short amount of time, regardless of their accuracy. I am on my 11th Shadow ban this moment.

The system errs on the side of caution to prevent real cheaters from ruining the game but, as ive experienced, it can unfairly punish skilled players. My loyalty to your company is scared.

2. Automated vs. Manual Review

Many gaming companies use automated systems to handle cheating reports due to the sheer volume of players. Unfortunately, these systems aren’t always sophisticated enough to distinguish false reports from valid ones.

3. Lack of Punishment for False Reporting

It’s a valid point that players who abuse the reporting system to target others should face consequences. However, many companies don’t have clear systems in place to detect or address false reporting.

4. No Permanent Resolution

The fact that i get unbanned after 7 days confirms that Activision's manual review finds no wrongdoing. Yet, being repeatedly shadow-banned shows the system isn’t evolving to recognize my clean record.

Im Pushing for transparency in your reporting system and penalties for false reporters.

good players shouldn’t be punished for excelling at a game. Hopefully, by making my voice heard and staying persistent, Activision will improve its flawed system.

I never got chat banned before ever. Someone reported me for calling them a hacker. Tons of other ppl on the game and throughout the game use the n word over and over never to be banned or chat banned.Complete joke of a game these days. Turned into a snowflake game remove the rated m for mature. Make it rated pg or r simply ridiculous. Been playing this game for 6 yrs and have to deal with this [censored].
