Hey @BB4H_SeNsAi,

 

Sorry to hear about this situation, though I'm glad you were able to get the account back here.

 

Just to clarify a bit more on this situation, an account would not be banned because you had weak credentials. The account would be banned because it was being used for activity that violated our User Agreement. 

 

After this was appealed and the action was reviewed again, the Terms of Service team was able to determine that activity was linked to someone else gaining access to the account. This let them remove the ban after determining that you were the one with control over the account...

Completely understandable and I appreciate that you're trying to take precautions @RaginKavu.

 

Our Terms of Service (TOS) team is in charge of any account actions, so in the event your account is banned, you would need to reach out to them to have that reviewed. That's not something we're able to pre-emptively block, though if you've already taken steps to re-secure the account that should certainly help.

 

If that becomes necessary there is a webform you can use as well, so that may have better luck if you're not seeing a live chat pop-up appear.

Hey @RaginKavu,

If you're not seeing a separate window pop up for that chat, I'd definitely recommend checking any ad-block or pop-up settings in place in your browser or any antivirus programs you may be running.

It may also be worth trying to launch that in a different browser or using incognito mode if you've not already tried that. Mako.png

Hey @RaginKavu,

 

From what you mentioned here, it definitely sounds like someone else may have gained access to the account.

 

I do see you've added an authenticator and reset passwords, which is great. I'd also recommend going through ...

@Kriiizy No worries! That was more of a general heads up, just in case you reach out about a separate issue or for an update.

Otherwise, it's just making its way through the TOS queue currently so I'd just keep an eye on your email for an update from them. Mako.png

Hey @Kriiizy,

I'm afraid we don't have a specific ETA at the moment as the Terms of Service team is taking a bit longer than usual to investigate due to a high volume of cases.

In the meantime I would definitely just suggest not to resume the case you've already submitted, as that can pull it out of their queue and delay the process.

If you do need to reach back out for anything, just be sure to open a new, separate case instead. Thanks for the continued patience in the meantime. Mako.png...

Hey @Deke96,

 

If you had to reset your password before you could get back into the account, it definitely sounds possible that someone else had accessed that and caused the ban.

 

You'll want to reach out to an advisor with the steps in this article to get...

Hey @Ka1ips0,

If an account was banned and you're not finding an email about that action, you can reach out to an advisor with the link in my above post to have them look into this for you.

Hey @MasterCatsTH,

 

You should have received a bit more information at the registered email address for your EA Account.

 

This is not something we're able to change on the forums, however if you didn't get that email and would like to get more information or appeal this ban, please reach out to an advisor.

Hey @ImpossibleMeat,

While I do see the more recent cases have been closed as duplicates, your first submission is still in the Terms of Service queue to be reviewed.

That hasn't been lost, the TOS team is just a bit behind due to a high volume currently. Sorry about the wait, but they will get back to you via email once they've had a chance to investigate that first case you had created.

Thanks for the patience in the meantime! Mako.png

Hey @Death_Sakurasou,

 

I'm afraid we do not investigate banned accounts on the AHQ Forums.

 

Please reach out to an advisor and they'll be able to take a look at the account and make sure this is reviewed by our Terms of Service team.

 

You can find more information on this here: ...

Hey @shawnshendertech,

 

We're not able to address missing shards via the forums, I'm afraid.

 

Please reach out to an advisor and they can take a look into the account for you and see what's going on with those. You can find more information on how to reach them over at the EA...

Hey @ManuOnDemand,

I can certainly understand why you'd want to merge the accounts, especially if you had made a side account to play as that issue is still being looked into.

That said however, I'm afraid we are not currently able to merge the content from two different accounts together, regardless of which platform(s) the accounts are on. Mako.png

Hey @Noob_Chemist,

Good suggestion! We do actually have an article detailing some of the common ways this occurs and steps to help prevent it.

@alwaysbored786 There's no need to provide that proof on your end. That is something our advisors and TOS team would be able to see during the investigation, in part due to the locations and activity you mentioned here.

That is fairly standard to look for when someone's reporting a hacked account, so it should be fairly apparent in our own records when that happens.

The investigation itself isn't typically what takes the longest. In this case it's more a matter of the number of other cases in line before yours that they'll need to get through first. Mako.png... Read more

Hey @alwaysbored786,

 

Our Terms of Service team that's able to investigate banned accounts is currently dealing with a higher volume than usual, so those replies are taking a bit longer to receive currently.

 

The TOS team will reach out via email as soon as they get to your issue and investigate, but if you haven't already done so I would definitely suggest making sure the ...

Hey @jokool_aid,

We have seen this mentioned a few other times as well, and the fact that the PS4 report options can be limited or missing has been passed along to the team.

While not ideal, you can also use the webform below for reports in the meantime, thanks!
