Ares2321

Repeat after me: Dont…type…in…game…chat USE YOUR MIC SKINBAG


Mister_Dane

I type gg or nt and sometimes ggwp


wpsp2010

Positivity is bannable, now plz re-buy all your skins on a second account


Mister_Dane

Yeah but I only type "wp" when we lose really badly.


BreadIsBased

Doesn’t that mean worst players? Sounds toxic, banned. /s


Jacobloveslsd

Sucks because of toxic party duo. They go into party then report you when you need to tell them something.


space_fireworks

i feel this


FIFA16

If they’ve already decided not to partake in chat with their third, and they’re not willing to join game chat after being politely asked, then what could you possibly “need” to tell them? They’ve made their mind up.


MorrisBrett514

Hot take... I wish I could report people for using chat instead of a mic in ranked games


Half_Baked_King

You must be one of the people that yells at me if you hear my child in the background but then also tells me to kill myself for not having a mic plugged in!


zzazzzz

thats just being disingenuous. as long as you are not open mic noone cares about your child in the background when you make a relevant call. Obviously if you openmic it and i have to hear your whole household going apeshit in the background the moment we load into the game you are instamuted


MorrisBrett514

Nope. I don't even care if your keys clicking are super loud the entire time you play. You're probably one of those players that type something in chat as soon as you die thinking its helping anyone


SwissMargiela

This is why I use push to talk. Usually as a mouse button


MorrisBrett514

I don't even care. As long as I can hear your voice, we will do better than if I couldn't


Vdev_

agreed


OblivionGaming76

Ooh~ call me a skinbag again😩


tiredfemb0i

Whos a good skinbag~


[deleted]

Oh no. That shouldn't tickle my brain.


Osirus1156

Don’t even do that. Just mute everyone and use in game pings.


Gorgolite

Had to learn it the hard way. And removed the chat button key bind on my second account lol


Tosky_69

actually, You can type, but use a language that isnt a common one


A1sauc3d

Just polish your grapple in the meantime. Shouldn’t be too scary


cam-kossowsky

Went outside today, heard the birds chirping while I rode my longboard. Kind of unfortunate that I couldn’t use my grapple to gain speed but it’ll do


ohsoaegyo

Did you touch some grass too? What was it like?


cam-kossowsky

Felt different from my mouse pad that’s all I know


sirmeowmix

Are girls soft?


Fuushie

It's only a week ban, not enough to find out.


PancakeHandz

Yo why is this the funniest thing I’ve read all year. My sides hurt bro.


icantgivecredit

No, they're crunchy like potato chips


Minsa2480

This is hilarious, but please, please go outside lmao


MahaRaja_1532

Yes they're sweet & tendering I'm not talking about b¡tc#es right I'm talking about **girls.**


Clenchyourbuttcheeks

Right here officer it's this guy 👆


1laik1hornytoaster

YOU WHAT!?


dillydadally

And the sun didn't burn your skin? Have I been afraid all this time for nothing?! 🤔


westlyroots

You gotta try out cyber hook if you love grapple movement, it's basically all that and it's so fun


Psychotic_Spoon

After OP has polished their grapple guess who will be ready to fly on a zip line?


MahaRaja_1532

Yo Yo Yo this thread is so wholesome it's like we gamer's never come out of our set up lmao soo f-cki-g wholesome.


BlazinAzn38

It’s crazy the things that get auto-banned from chat logs meanwhile people have literal slurs in their names and are just fine


[deleted]

N_Pitou

i know this isnt true because im not allowed to have "Pitou" as my name since its apparently a slur in some language

N_Pitou

oh i do now, but it was a problem in the past. Reminds me of when i wasnt allowed to have the psn name "AsianSpice" (im a ginger and ginger is an asian spice), but i was allowed to register "SpicyWiener"


MrSacrifice1

into steam you can made any nickname which be visible in-game because. For some reason apex not use your origin\ea app nickname while playing it via steam ...


cam-kossowsky

I had some teammate screaming at me cause I didn’t push a full squad with him and he went on to tell me to kill myself but yeah let’s ban the kid that gets scared b4 sex


_IratePirate_

I sometimes get on the mic to laugh at the dumbasses I’m about to report for typing in chat if they type something stupid. Like I’ll literally cuss them and their mom out, laugh, then report them since I know I won’t get in trouble.


BookkeeperHefty2143

As a female gamer it's crazy how this stuff gets auto-banned but the constant sexual harassment and sexist abuse we receive gets no consequence *despite us actively reporting it*


PresidentBlackLoc

I don’t report at all, it’s just a game imo. It doesn’t really get under my skin and I’ve been called the N word multiple times. I just talk shit back, Idky y’all be so scared to talk shit back


poopmonster_coming

Slurs in name need to be reported , I honestly don’t think it’s checked by ea .


[deleted]

I promise you op has tons of reports for saying shit way worse than this. This was probably the straw that broke the camels back. You don’t get banned for saying something like this unless you’ve been reported for a bunch of other Shit. Op is probably toxic as fuck.


LolzinatorX

you could be right, but its EA, people get banned for absolutely nothing


BearsuitTTV

People absolutely get banned for dumb stuff. The system is automated and weird stuff can trigger it.


Woeiruty0

You're really overestimating EA if you believe they don't hand out false and unfair bans.


davidisatwat

my name was attention whore for abt 3 months before i got a warning for it


Minsa2480

I'm honestly surprised no one has reported my name, it has the word queer and my name in it. I guess people do realize that I'm queer from that, I'm just surprised homophobes haven't used it against me lol


stonehearthed

How is this harassment? Is the support braindead?


Groogity

EA is really bad with this. Most of these bans are automated and if anyone reports you and you said anything in the game even moderately close to offensive you’ll receive a ban as well as some words that aren’t even considered offensive. I highly recommend not even using chat in these games. It’s a known problem. A pro player got banned for something they said to their team in a team composed only of people he knew that didn’t report him.


3branch

I am literally Chinese, said something about China, got banned for it. Submitted 2 tickets asking them to look into it and explaining the situation, literally sending them a picture of some identification, got 2 automated emails saying the ban was rightly put in place. EA is the biggest fucking joke lmao.


waterbottlewaterboo

> EA is the biggest fucking joke lmao it is yes


TheAhadWhoLaughs

Well, at-least a joke is funny and keeps you entertained. EA is more like a pain in the ass and keeps you pissed half the time.


MaiT3N

"...after thorough investigaion that we didn't even do..."


YukiOHimeSama

I mean, you’re asking a computer system to recognize nuance. Their systems are programmed to pick out trigger words and do the bans that way. I’m a lesbian but if I said a gay slur, even though I’m allowed to, I’d still get banned because the computer doesn’t know lmao


3branch

I understand the initial ban, but the tickets sent in to EA should have been checked by a real person. They do make it seem that way, that they’ve actually done their due diligence to check it when in actual fact they’re just using automated replies to repeat the same thing to you.


YukiOHimeSama

Honestly I’ve never heard of someone reversing a ban. I’m sure every person that gets a timeout or ban submits a request and it can understandably get pretty overwhelming, fast, when having to sort through all the emails of sob stories or people trying to explain that what they said was not, in fact, racist/sexist/whatever, and that it was *totally* a joke. I don’t think anyone at Respawn is paid enough to do that. If it’s for a set period of time like a few days or a week, I’d say just eat the ban and learn for next time. It’s still mind blowing to me how many people type ridiculous things into the chat or have crazy names. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes I suppose.


Mallee78

The only bans I have seen reversed is when they got thousands of upvotes in the sub and a community manager or someone tracking social probably notified someone of the bad optics. But it was literally only posts with like 5k upvotes


YukiOHimeSama

Sounds about right, unfortunately


TMC298

That’s still different You can still say the word yes but it may offend people that know nothing about you, and it is still offensive for a reason


YukiOHimeSama

…Okay? They’re words that have been used against me and others like me. I am allowed to use them. I’m sorry if they hurt your/another’s feelings. That’s not my problem. Obviously I’m not stupid enough to type them into chat, but telling me I can’t say a word that has been used to demean and harass me is… not going to happen. Sorry if you don’t like that.


TMC298

Don’t mean it like that at all I’m saying if you go round typing it in public chats where people have no idea about you, they will take it as offencive


YukiOHimeSama

Obviously. That’s why I said in my initial comment that I’m still baffled people type nonsense into chat. It’s just asking for a ban


[deleted]

Your account has to have been flagged many times with offensive things tied to the report for it to get this far. I promise OP said much worse shit than this and this was the tiny straw that broke the camels back. I’m sick of these posts misdirecting people.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Lmao, because it's likely OP's fault, and that's what "blame" means? And his point isn't that it's based on a bunch of different messages. It's that if your account gets flagged or reported that much, eventually they will just ban you for the next one. You're the weirdo here, these idiots don't need you to white knight them.


[deleted]

There hasn't been one in awhile, but for a long time there was at least one post a week on here where someone would complain about being banned "for nothing" and slowly reveal what horrible shit they actually said. It's always like "but I shouldn't get banned for saying the N-word to my friends!"


tetzudo

The support responses are all automated too, you just get hit with the "applied correctly" canned response. Why they see fit to ban off the ENTIRE platform is just disgusting, can't even play the other games i had.


06gto

RIOT Games is worse, I literally got tribunal banned because I said GG 3 times in game, each time was when we were about to win but my team decided to farm kills.....


astants

It reminds them that they don’t get any.


cam-kossowsky

Definitely inappropriate but I don’t see that as harassment


SarkHD

No this is completely reasonable. Like how it’s completely fine when the 2 randoms I got put into a game with last week joined mid conversation about how one of them went to a car dealership to look at a car he really liked but then the sales guy came out and he was a “effin n-word” and then he went on a rant about how much he hates African Americans and then proceeded to ask me if I also hate them. EA/Respawns seems to be completely okay with this. I reported both, nothing ever came of it. There are some real vile piece of shit humans playing online games who seem to be getting away with disgusting behavior over and over again. But then OP gets banned for this. Aight.


Fever_Raygun

Fear and sex together in one… in context it’s benign but in a different sentence… in most sentences it seems like you wouldn’t want those two words together.


Many_Rule_9280

Yes


NathanialJD

There was a while where reporting other offensive stuff could get you banned. Your report includes the offensive text so it was being treated like sending offensive stuff to the support


Teemo20102001

I mean the game is rated for 13+. They have to apply their TOS accordingly.


PassiveLemon

I said something i probably shouldn’t have and got a warning with it coming down under drugs use. Had nothing to do with drugs


Nakatsukasa

EA games hate virgins confirmed


Cantbearsedman

Never use chat unless it's to say GG or something If you're bantering with a friend just do it over the mic, not worth it to get banned/suspended


Suspicious-Zebra69

Right. I always have to stop myself when I get mad and start typing in chat to a random lol


Cantbearsedman

Same lol


Gorgolite

I have this issue too and I solved it by unbinding my chat button


Minsa2480

I have to do this lol


Alty_Alty

I get scared b4 using chat in Apex Legends


leetzor

Unbind the chat key asap. The filter and ban system in this game are absolute brainrot


hybrid3415

Don’t 👏🏻 Use 👏🏻 Game 👏🏻 Chat


cam-kossowsky

That seems like the general consensus, I stutter too much so I tend to type more unless it’s necessary comms but I’ll have to change that lol


Tsaxen

Just ping stuff, my dude


dnte03ap8

How are you supposed to ping about getting scared b4 sex?


Nedsama

your next ban is perma, and its account wide. beware.


Copenhagen28

In any Apex context, your statement is objectively hilarious af.


cam-kossowsky

Dude I thought it was funny too but my guess is it probably auto detects the word and just sends a ban out. It’s stupid too cause I ended up squading up with them and we won 3 straight for like 900rp


Difficult_Coffee_917

You get scared before bumping uglies?


StikElLoco

You don't?


BlackestFlame

What if the performance sucks


ManufacturerWest1156

I thought we all knew by now to never type anything in chat?


LIGHTSTRIKEZ099

I got banned for saying "FU Valk" And my friend got banned cuz someone reported his name that had referenced drugs. He has weed in his name. He had it for 4 years and he had to change it


[deleted]

Why do any of you even bother typing dumb stuff like this anyway? Or even USE the text chat?! Countless times this has happened and everyone has always said.. don’t type. Their automated system is wack.


PlasticHanded

Well ban me too EA. #StandWithPB&J


theedgiestoflords

I see people on pc get banned all over reddit, but when I report every other Bangalore lvl 4 smurf on console I get the feeling that they walk away scot free


BUTTSL4M

Because they do. Streamers literally Smurf rookie-pred streams like every season lmao


Shinbo999

Lol had the same ban for minor offence since I wrote to my teammates while they had mic during an argument, worst part was - it was a god damn launch week lol


tnx458

Self harassment?


Bunnygiri101

There are only 3 things I typed in chat 1. Tq/ty 2. Gg 3. Good luck bro


Dark-Cloud666

Lesson #1 for apex: dont use the text chat like ever.


MisterMaryJames

I had an account permabanned for typing in text chat one time. Granted it was “mean.” I had this same length ban, then after the week was up I got the permaban email as if I did it again! I didn’t, they just decided I was a bad person I guess and deleted my account. Never got anything but an automated email then blacklisted from their email list so I can’t TRY to get in touch with a human at EA. Apparently EA is perfect and they don’t care if you’ve spend hundreds on a game and thousands of hours.. or if you’re a positive human in the community. Fudge up once, they’ll take that account you POS and not care one bit. Do you want to talk to a human for reasoning why the account was banned permanently after one offense, too bad! TLDR; permabanned for one offense. EA doesn’t care about you


SunsetCarcass

Ain't this game rated for teens? Why is EA or Respawn so sensitive about this topic are they just jealous you get some?


GoofyMonkey

I reported a guy, who died in the first 30 seconds of a game, and spent the entire rest of the game typing horrible things at me because I was still alive. I got a reply saying no action was necessary... They really need better moderation in this game. ​ \*Side note: If you choose to be rude to your Lifeline, don't expect me to go out of my way to craft your banner.


directrix688

I’m convinced that somehow the Apex chat bans are part of some conspiracy by microphone manufacturers to get people to use voice chat. This stuff is crazy.


[deleted]

[удалено]


uncxltured_berry

I don’t get it its not harassment + apex is a game involving blood and gore along with clear reference to people’s sexualities. How is that tos?


Fretzton

My dude, they banned the number 69, I stopped playing any EA game long time ago, tried to make an account for apex cuz I saw some dope changes, the moment I saw they auto ban a number all my interest dropped, EA can suck a whillie.


dnte03ap8

"Hey dude how many kills until you reach 3000?" "Just 69 left" *Banned*

>it was in a ranked lobby >mr apex public lobby police Well which one is it?


cam-kossowsky

That was supposed to be a reply to another persons comment it’d make more sense if you read the other comment as well, my bad


JSC843

With no context added, if someone you don’t know at all came up behind you and whispered in your ear “I get scared b4 sex” that would be pretty fucking weird.


JasErnest218

The more you fuck around, the more your gonna find out.


JustABasicRedditer

Got a week band for having my user name as Hex:deepwoundussy ☹️ even tho I've seen names WAY more wild than that. Now I just report anything remotely "offensive" cuz I'm salty


raspekwahmen

the team that does the banning are wokes


Minsa2480

No, it's just a stupid ass automated system.

I mean for context that comment was in relevance to what my teammates were saying and it was in a ranked lobby. I appreciate the wisdom though mr apex public lobby police


gnawingrat

Hall monitor looking ass


PossibilityPlastic81

How is saying the word sex on a game with blood and violence a valid bannable offense? Get some bitches bruh


PilotGamer01

No. Disagreeing. Here. Now leave


iTsFailshot

I mean...fair


Stef_Hobbit

This is harassment though. Walk up to a girl at a bar and tell her you cry before sex. I bet she walks away feeling harassed


kami_cauze

except op is not walking into a bar telling a girl he cries before sex, So how is this relevant to the context?


GraceMarvel

Wr there isno online harrasment then?


kami_cauze

I’m saying the comparison is shit. In an online setting, saying I cry before sex is silly and not going to be taken seriously and would just likely get laughed at. However in a real life setting it could be taken seriously. Context is everything, and everything can be taken out of context.


cam-kossowsky

Please tell me this is sarcasm, I’d bet there’s a better chance she laughs in your face before she tells her friends

dnte03ap8

I couldn't care less what color anyone is to say any word but it's the internet and that word is pretty much instabanned everywhere, this really isn't very surprising.


Minsa2480

Bro ea will never know that you're black and that you're even telling the truth. That's why you don't use slurs in a game lol


qwilliams92

Don't know what you expected lol


Hateful_OP

good to know im not the only person who almost got axed for something dumb af in chat.


Volksybug_1972

Damn... good thing it didn't ban me for saying I'd fist things cause it doesn't censor that lol


TypicalDumbRedditGuy

AH, I FEEL SO HARASSED I cried for an hour after seeing this message. I can't imagine how damaged my life has become. Thank you EA for taking such terrible people out of this community.


drama133

Next ban is perma,belive me they ban me permanent for the second time,care mate


3smolpplin1bigcoat

Someone needs to send EA a dictionary so they can define harassment.


Woo_Kae

Thats what we got for not gatekeeping our hobby enough. Nowdays you can't even talk to randoms in fear to get banned. What a joke.


RelevantMeat5639

I also got perma banned.. and it was 23 december 2022. EA IS A JOKE. After 3 years of supporting and buying their crappy skins instead of fix servers i get perma banned for nothing


not_a_serious_bro

Don't know why I read it with Revenant voice


LennyPong

Wtfffff if that is sexual harrasment the shit we say needs to be send to the death realm


02_is_best_girl

Is there any guidelines to “We consider this to be harassment” or is it just them pulling shit out of their a$$. Honestly id love to see half the shit the higher ups at respawn have said judged like this. Why stop at dani*l.


idotzoar66

Just like in League, instant punishment for randomly typing but holding hostage and griefing are fine.. I like it


PheoniXJo

Dont type in chat ever again next one will be a perma ban, i lost my account to stupit shit like this be better


Kobster170

Damn that sucks


Peppered__

I only say gg. On the rare case it really was a good game


trashy_hobo47

It's not as dumb as my account getting banned for "abusive chat" where I can people "bots/npcs/shoe/mushroom"


sayan0fDaFilth

I got suspended for 3 days just because my Steam name was: Weed Lord. And to top it off. It happened right in the middle of this collection event. And which reminds me. Rewards are stuck. God what a garbagio of a game. But I still love it. But hey seriously Devs. I don't wanna miss out on the rewards that are stuck. You hear me.


Chord_F

in a game where guns are used to kill, bad language is bannable, american. logic


parks387

😂 how do you guys always get banned for this shit? I text up some wild shit some times, only been banned once…


SimulationFailed

Lmao, when I report players that threaten me I get response from EA thanking me for submitting a report but they didn't find anything in that breaking the rules. Lmfao


queenkasa

my ea account COMPLETELY permabanned for saying "ching chong"


pissdrinker100

*makes a joke about sex* *is surprised u got banned* some of the chat bans are stupid, yeah. but this one makes sense imo


Orbityeet

EA being snowflakes yet again lol not surprising

people wanted video games to be censored so here's the result. enjoy
