I woke up on 1st of this month to an email stating that my account had been banned for cheating.Which would be justified if I actually was a cheater.Except I'm not.Here's my proof:
I'm an Australian Siege streamer/youtuber with a decent following, I also used to edit videos for NarcolepticNugget.I've built my entire career around this game, and waking up finding out that not only can I not play on my account, but I also have a mark on my steam account marking me as a "cheater" which means I'm auto-banned from certain other games (Rust etc.) is heartbreaking
I recieved an email, which I didn't see, at 2am the morning of my ban, telling me that my account had been logged in, in the UK.The email was confirming that this was me.It wasn't, I'm from Australia, I live in Australia, I had even played that night, from my apartment in Australia. I also have 2FA on.
At 8am that morning I recieved the email saying that I had been "permanently banned for multiple cheating offences" note: I have never been banned for cheating before this.
The reason it was brought to my attention was because my discord community went BERSERK thinking, like I did, that it was just an unfortunate mistake and was a bit of a meme
So I sent an appeal in, explaining that hey, a mistake has been made, and I just want it fixed.
and I recieved this as response:
So at this point I was very upset, so I starting asking around in my community, I even sat down with Nugget and he suggested that reddit might be able to help, maybe even someone at Ubi will read it and they might be able to help.
I even emailed the flipping CEO of Ubisoft, Yves Guillemot (hail mary) begging him to look into my case for me as I KNEW it was unfair. and I was desperate.
and I recieved this:
at this point I just feel beaten, and honestly, I'd been having a rough couple weeks anyway, and it all got a little emotional on stream where I had a bit of a cry to my community about it.

I figured I'd reach out to reddit and see if you guys can help me out in any way possible.
You can either retweet my tweet @ ubisoft here:

or just share my story and help me get this noticed by SOMEONE out there that can do something.I really just need all the help I can get.
Thank you for taking the time to read this, whether you believe me or not, I appreciate the time.I love this game, I love the community and I hope that this ban get's lifted so I can stay among it.
TL;DR I was banned for cheating when I have NEVER cheated or used any programs that help me with Siege at all, I have appealed and been denied by the CEO of Ubisoft, I need the community's help getting my story seen.
Edit: Holy f*ckle I didn't expect this much support from such an overwhelming majority, thank you for that, thank you for all the golds and platinums as well <3I've woken up this morning and I'm suspended from Twitch, I'd say it's because a bunch of you followed me while I was offline and they think they are fake, so cheers for that!I have no news from Ubisoft yet, I'm thinking about sending them another appeal email.I'll keep everyone posted!
