Banned for complaining about hackers

EAs automated system banned me forever for complaining about hackers in my match, the AI hyperfocused on me calling them chinese due to their abnormal ping and characters in their name and assumed I was being racist. Now I cannot play any EA game I own, 14 years down the drain due to EA's terrible customer support.

Because you shouldn't label individuals like that. You may not have intentional racist intent. However, you don't know who's playing behind the computer.
I've had several Asian names throughout my Gaming history. I wasn't born in an Asian Country.
EA Javelin is an automated system that bans for hardware anomolies.
Text/Voice etc - Are manually banned due to the unpredictable nature/culture/language barriers. So this is manual.
Judging by what you said. You've been manually banned for something you said. Which they've deemed unacceptable.
You also accused the individuals of "hacking". Which is most likely false. It was more than likely the Aim Assist on a controller which helped the individuals(you see this often).
Word of advice? - It's a video game. If you don't like something, keep quiet. Quit the game. THEN talk to Customer Service and vent your anger. Venting your anger and frustration through the right channels, will always be the right option.
Good luck ✅

I dont know that it would help but as far as accounts and things go, I was able to contact an online EA Chat thing and get an account issue resolved, you should be able to do the same.
best of luck

My MP account was banned from the Steam community of BF6 for the same thing. They're pathetic.
So they can't ban cheaters. They can't ban chinese people who write obscene things about Taiwan and Japan. Who are these EA and DICE?!

This is blatantly false and can be easily proven with a 3 second google search lol, I don't know where you get off to talking like you know what you're talking about but you clearly don't Mr RP.

Sounds well deserved to me, it's about time racists were brought down a peg or two.

honestly its soo wrong that they ban your entire account, all games and all future purchases, it's quite possibly the most insane thing I've ever seen in gaming tbh. 100% makes you want to buy a console and go disc, and they are even ending that now... 1 year, 10 years, 20 years, all it will take it one unacceptable move on your part for them to ban your life account.

So mentioning where someone is from is now racist?

You know where people are from by their Username?
Amazing magic right there.

I've worked within the Gaming Industry for over 2 decades.
Vastly experienced in many sectors.
I don't need to use a search engine. I used my own experience.
Thanks though ✅
It's clear that there are many Steam individuals who ultimately try to come off being clever. But expose themselves as immature.
It's pretty fun to watch actually.
Considering the OP clearly knew what they said was wrong.

I mean I can tell languages and names apart yes? also based on ping etc. Do you think saying for example I'm from Britain, if you call me British is that racist?
