shadow ban 4th time
got shadow ban for the 4th time again.I have almost 3000 hours in the game, wiped 3 teams in warzone and now i have to wait again for my account to be reviewed. You should have manualy reviewed players who have that many hours like me. We dedicate allot of our time and efort to stay at this level.It is not fair that some kids can punish us so easy just because they rage-spam report for lousing.

Cool story, but that's not how it works.

Devs confirmed reporting alone does not get you shadow banned.

So do the devs. That's why they posted to clear it up.

then you know Ricochet is AI driven and it's how you play not who you play with.

I get your point. You think you are shadow banned because people reported you. I'm just saying that's not the case. Devs have confirmed this. Reporting alone wont get you shadow banned.

"A common misconception we see is that spam reporting will result in actions being taken against accounts. For clarity, whether one player reports another once or multiple times, our system only considers the first report (throttling any additional reports from that player).

Reporting is critical but, must be used in combination with other factors before an account is actioned on. An account, for example, cannot be banned due only to reporting but if that account has also triggered other (and multiple) detections, a report can raise a red flag."



There are a lot of things that can get you shadow banned, and for some strange reason a lot of people don't consider them cheating. Things like AHK, macros or scripts. Spoofing/VPN, or just plain toxicity.

I get more than 10 kills in WZ. Never been shadow banned. I've had people screaming at me in comms that they are going to mass report me, never been shadow banned. Neither has anybody i know or play with.

There is a direct linear correlation between using cheats and being banned. The more you cheat, the more you get banned. So stop cheating and the AI will stop pumping you full of bans

I was kicked from the server exactly the moment the kid said " Ohh the guy with the nuke skin is cheating in proximity chat" That was the moment i got the shadow ban. If you get high kills like me 20+ the game simply punishes you for being good.Now i have to wait for 10 days to get clean again.

And the devs will tell you what we told you. Reports alone don't get you shadowbanned.

"I spend a lot of time with the game open in the background to grind hours, I should get special privileges" I know i'm trolling but you know i'm right, a system like that would be easy to abuse

Being shadow banned doesn't stop you from playing, it just puts you into special lobbies with other shadow banned players.

Also to the guy saying reports don't get you shadow banned, lol. MW2 had an exploit where if your team spam reported one guy you could get him kicked and shadow banned. Sure they say they fixed it, but its cod, they've "fixed" several bugs several times and they keep coming back, like infinite stims in WZ.

devs are not a credible source for anything lol. devs are constantly caught lying about stuff to do with reports. by "manually reviewed" they mean someone sits there spamming the confirm button to ban people at BEST.
