Shadowban and cheating
Has anyone dealt with a shadow ban loop? I'm currently stuck in one and don't know what to do. They don't allow for appeals on activisions website and when I try to contact an activision employee they give the same automated response every time. Im confused on why a system like this even exists? There are no other Triple A titles that have a system in place like this. For example Apex Legends, Fortnite, and Valorant deal with their fair amount of cheaters but none of those games have system that bans you solely off someones report. They need to improve the anti cheat and remove the shadow ban system. It does absolutely nothing against cheaters and ends up hurting above average or high skilled players more who are legitimate. Also the amount of cheaters in season 4 ranked was awful. Over 50% of the people on the Top 250 leader board were blatantly cheating with no repercussions. I wish they would pay attention to the community and listen to our feedback.

I've also been in a Shadow ban loop it happened 18 times. It takes 2 days to 2 weeks after a shadow ban to be lifted and appealing it won't lift it only tell you that your un-shadow banned. And there is nothing you can do to get un shadow banned before the 2 days

Its because hes not a cheater, and my money is on him being better than you on accident than you ever will be on purpose.

Mass reporting doesn't get you shadow banned it just forces them to scan your system, you cheating buy altering game files or having software on your system gets you banned.

Enjoy your ban loser

Not all shadow bans is caused by cheating. And they don't ban you just because someone files reports. They review it and you violated something or suspicious. They do ban people for false reports.

LoL... most of you don"'t even realize (YET) , that ban doesn't stop at title menu screen.. but will affect game launch too nowdays L🤭Lzz

the top 50% are probably tiktok and utubers. so free advertisement for this company that why those cheater never get banned. that also tiktok and utube dont take down cheat videos because they make a lot of money from them. back to the gaming company cheating is easily solved and non cheat streamers and gaming pro have said time and time again how to get rid of cheaters. this gaming company has only one thing on the mind MONEY. they will never care about the gamer and that is why you will only see 2 to 3 more cods before it go for good. and of course the company will blame the gamer and not themselves

if your account is years old, it wouldn't get shadowbanned, new accounts get shadowbanned crazy amounts.

Honestly the only thing that can save this game is the Warzone 1 devs.

We all know that their anticheat is not capable of detecting modern cheat technologies. But their AI-based shadowban system is pretty good. Keeps cheaters trapped in shadowban loops.

New account, only one game, never posted before...stop cheating!
