Haha I received this mail just now.
Hello,
We want to notify you that we have again found your EA Account to be in violation of our Rules of Conduct.
While reviewing your account, we identified the following violation:
Apex Legends
Harassment
2021-10-02T15:26:39Z Babbediboopi:
can you f-word help
Being part of a gaming community should be positive, fun, fair, and safe for all. This means that we take any breaches of our Rules of Conduct, including toxic behavior, very seriously. We outline our commitment to this in our Positive Play Charter: https://www.ea.com/commitments/positive-play/charter.
Since you have already had a previous suspension, for this violation, we are suspending your account for 168 hours (one week), effective immediately.
So first of all, I just want to clarify that I accept this punishment since I play by Respawns rules even though I honestly didn't think the F-word was bannable. But I post this thread as a warning for everyone just so they know Respawn officially made this PG 16+ game a no swear zone. Also, the last time I was banned (for 72 hours) was 2020-12-18, i.e more than 9 months ago so apparently, the gradually increasing punishment level does not reset. And I guess next time; I will be permabanned (?).
So I recommend EVERYONE to
1) only care about yourself when playing with randoms. Because at least for me, the things that make me write something so terrible and offensive as the f-word is almost exclusively when you do your best to play as a team and support your randoms but only get human excrement back.
2) Maybe even insta-mute your randoms every game.
And since the system determined "can you f-word help" as harassment, which it really isnt; does this mean that the system just detects the f-word as harassment regardless of context? So If a random types "You are a f-word god!" after I wipe an enemy squad solo; does this mean I can report him for harassment and have him banned just for funsies after he praised my skills haha?

I feel like you would have to have been living under a rock for the last several months if you didn't realize that EA is currently taking this issue VERY seriously and is not showing mercy to offenders. Just a casual familiarity with posts on this forum and the reddit sub shows this.

@pandareno1999Sorry but where is the so called "issue" here?
What is happening to our planet where people cant even say F anymore without getting punished
I am actually seriously concerned for my 2 daughters to grow up in this cancel/woke culture and snowflake soceity

Yeah it seems like it requires a manual report for the detection system to even scan the logs. I have dodged one or two F-bombs before too without getting banned (I usually dont interact at all with randoms tbh).
@RevMainPls Well well, I guess the good people at Respawn think they are making the world a better place, banning curse words and adding various PC badges. Actually, its probably not even someone at Respawn. Its rather some PR guy at EA who comes up with these things. Never mind that the main activity in this game is to headshot people with guns and then walk up to them and execute them as they lie helpless on the ground, just as long as you dont drop a F-bomb.... Think about the children, will someone think about the children etc etc =)

Haha just came out of this game. This Lifeline was a very angry man but stopped with the insults and left the summery screen very quickly when he saw that he only did 70% of my damage during the same amount of time =) Anyhow, I reported him, not because I was hurt or offended, but WE HAVE TO THINK ABOUT THE CHILDREN =) If I dont get a confirmation in a couple of days that the report went through, then I dont know what to think because he said WTF, wake the F-word up, kys (short for kill yourself), crying f-tard, useless human excrement =)
To bad he obviously is a smurf and wont care if he gets banned.

@BalladalidilaWell not just that its literrly a violance game, there are some finishers that truely show some gruel intent and that is fine. The headstomping from valk is lovely
You also have interactions between Legends that are toxic and that is also fine in the end its a bloodsport...
I took a permanent ban for calling someone an idiot that acted idiotic, will the ban make me change my "evil" behaivior? nope i will say what i think is justified they will not deny me my opinion no matter how many bans i will take, but what i know is i wont spend a single peny on this game anymore
They called it Hateful conduct btw, i mean seriously that is hateful? some people there seem to live in some cute little bubbles
