Permanently banned despite never cheating

[avidgameboy]

I have never cheated in the game or even installed cheat software on my pc, but I have recently been permanently banned and had my ban review declined, I now cannot contact activision anymore. Does anyone have any advice on what I can do

Edit-- I would have assumed that the anticheat incorrectly detected another program as being cheat software but I play multiple other games with anticheats- Easy Anticheat and also Riot Vanguard, and nothing has ever been flagged by either of them. I also haven't been VAC banned ever for anything

get the game on console

I just rage quit the game because the aimbot snappers are taking over the game. impossible to play these days. the kill cam shows them just snapping from one to the next. reporting does nothing.

if you are VAC banned there's nothing to do but if you are VAC banned for sure some software was running on your PC related to the game.
VAC never miss a shot.

I have been away from the game for a couple of months due to job travels, yesterday i played the game after those months and it was full of weird super powerful snipers never seen before

It was a game ban.

Could be a game ban for being toxic? COD players are known for being toxic af, they only lose to CS players.

I never type or talk ingame outside of to my premades, and even then I hadn't even touched the game other than like a couple games when warzone 2 first released

I believe you. It just happened to me a few days ago on BNET. My activision account is from 2008. Linked to a bnet account from around 2010. Linked to this steam account that is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ 19 years old. Not an single issue anywhere. Check my steam profile - see all the multiplayer games I got hours in without a single issue. Played almost every call of duty.

100% their Ricochet anticheat is horrible broken, but they won't admit it, because an x-percent of false positives is okay to them, then they don't have to work with actually detecting who is cheating. They are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ thieves.

It's like, if I all of sudden decided, to start cheating, why the ♥♥♥♥ would I do it on my main account, linked to all my other main accounts, instead of just a fresh account. It's a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ f2p game.

And if someone don't think false positives are a thing, learn what heuristics are, how cheat detection works, and why the anticheat is literally ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ guessing if you're cheating or not. With a slightly aggressive threshold, false positives are a guarantee. This isn't as much as problem if you're an anti-virus (that works in a similar fashion), where you may quarantine files, or if they actually had a real appeal process where you could send requested files and memory dumps. I bet most people are willing to lose access and play ball with Activision for some time, if it meant fewer cheaters but proper handling of false positives.
But nope, no transparency, no nothing. They can decide to revoke access willy nilly.

That sucks ass man sorry to hear they hit you too, its crazy though like you get one appeal (they clearly didnt even bother reading mine) and then they shut all contact with you and you have no choice but to just quit the game, I'm so glad I didnt spend money on warzone 2 after they nuked wz1 and all the cosmetics I payed for there or I would've wasted my money twice
