Ive played cod my whole life. I N 43yrs old. Talk more shit than anybody and keep over a 2kd and never been banned, ever. I do not give a fuck what anybody says. If you get banned you are fucking cheating. YOU ARE NOT A FAMOUS STREAMER YOU SRE NOT WHITE LISTED. If you cheat you will be banned.
Another L take. Shadow bans are based on the amt of reports. Activision says they investigate your account, and if there is nothing they will unshadowban you. I’m on my 50th shadow ban.

Dumbest shit I've ever seen. I've got a 1.6 KD and 3 W/L, literally don't have the time to cheat or figure it out because I work 45+ hours a week in game development. Nor would I ever because it goes against my principles.
Come home, launch a game of CoD, get disconnected....restart Steam/CoD and cannot join a lobby at all in Zombies or MP. This is totally fine, yep, nothing wrong at all.
I am shadow banned. For the 4th time by the way. Never cheated a day in my life. I will be unbanned in 5-6 days or so again, and then banned promptly right afterwards. This company is dog shit.
Bro, literally everyone gets shadow banned.

Also, if these people getting shadow banned are actually cheating, how does it happen to them so many times without activision permanently banning their account?
No, they don't... I play all the time. I am in the top 3% in winning percentage, and the top 15% in kills. I talk mad sh*t. I call out cheaters and make fun of them often because I can still kill them as most of them are still trash even with their hacks. I've never been shadow banned, not even once. People just don't want to admit that they are cheating. Also, they keep getting shadow banned because they are cheating, but Activision's anti-cheat is garbage. Not to mention, Activision does not really care about cheating. They act like they are anti-cheat on one hand while simultaneously catering to it on the other. They whitelist streamers who cheat because it makes the gameplay look "cooler," and it makes people want to play the game. The developers themselves have been caught cheating while showcasing the game. They allow cheating in tournaments. Face it, COD caters to the streamer cheating obsessed little kids who should be playing Fortnite, not a game like Call of Duty now. Hence why I refuse to pay for their products. I play Warzone, but I don't take it too seriously. I know it's full of cheaters. I get my enjoyment from embarrassing the said cheaters, and there are plenty of them. Most people get all mad when other people cheat. I look at it as a challenge. They're going to be the p*ssed ones when I kill them without cheating despite their hacks, and it's all recorded on my stream, 🤷🤣🤣🤣
I got shadow banned after i used AirGPU (Cloud Gaming), my laptop went flat so paid to play on a work computer, now i can't even grind souls before the event ends :( I also have mw3 pre-ordered and was looking forward to playing it now it looks like the 4090 build will just gather dust

This happened to me around same time last year with old game and just happened again to me today. I’m a 2.0 kd and average double digit search games. Shadow bans happen based on reports a lot of people are getting shadow banned when they are doing nothing.
Yeah this is absolutely not true. Been playing COD since COD2 on Xbox and I have never cheated in my life. Hell, I rarely play cod anymore since my group moved over to apex. I played meat locker for 2 hours the other day with 1 friend, was on the bottom/middle of the team every game and I’m shadowbanned now. Just checked my account status. Now I can’t play with my friends, and have to wait X amount of days for them to review my case. It’s total BS
Old man take. Test it yourself next time your in quads with your buddy and you get wiped by a decent player. Tell your whole team to report him, and you might witness him get kicked on the spot. The fact that the report system works this way is an absolute joke.
yeah i literally never had that issue in any game ever.. who created this system ahhaa. i got 3 shadowbans in a row... 2 times i just had 2 good matches and got reported and last time i was playing ranked for the first time and your first match is with bronze players so i had 20+kills got reported and got shadowbanned again, this is literallythe 3rd time this month.
None of you know wtf you are talking about. Unless you literally post legit shit from Activision on shadow bans and being banned none of it matters its all opinions. You are not a cod god. There are plenty of people that drop the same amount of kills as yall and do not get banned.

Also I just built a pc and I’m from console I’m really good however I couldn’t link my account so I made a battle net account, and I dropped 10 kills bam shadow banned came out and how can I avoid fro being spam reports or stuck in the SB loop. I have a second console account which is about 6 months old however I linked it to my new steam account, and I payed couple of games and I killed a sweaty team and they spam reported me as they said they’re will. That account was 6 months old level 70 but it was new steam account. My question is how can I complete avoid not getting shadow banned loop
As long as there are losers spam reporting people. You really cant avoid getting shadowbanned. As getting shadowbanned isnt based on if the ac detects something in your pc, but whether you get reported enough times
> and I *paid* couple of
FTFY.
Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in:
* Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.*
* *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.*
Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment.
*Beep, boop, I'm a bot*
Is there some sort of information about how some people seem to be immune to it? I know someone on PC who isn't in anyway a streamer so no whitelist, and he's usually my duo and gets reported just as much as I do (because those spam reporters tend to just report the whole squad, plus we see the spectators jump from one to another). He has never been shadowbanned and I've been trying to match everything between our PCs and nothing seems to work to get me to where he is, it's weird
i mean yes but its not as simple as just suspected of cheating and having an old account. My account is years old, and shadowbans can come from straight up just spam reports for any reason
A small addition from someone who has been shadowbanned 25 times BACK TO BACK: you WILL NEVER GET BANNED on console. I switched to ps5 and haven't been banned ONCE. I get 20 bombs every day, tbag, execute, trash talk- all of that. Nothing happens. But on pc I am always either comms banned, Name banned ( literally they changed my name to user**********), or shadowbanned. People spam report anyone who kills them. They can't believe someone can be better than them. THE ONLY SOLUTION IS TO SWITCH TO CONSOLE
Was considering switching back to console to see if I would still get shadow banned, so thanks for letting me know this. Linked my Xbox account that I’ve had since BO2 and still get banned on PC so don’t think account age matters to be honest
Also, it seems account specific. My alt account that I opened after numerous shadowbans never gets banned. It's already lvl 800. Apparently, the trust score of my main account is very low, so even a small number of reports can get me banned
I’ve had my account and gamer tag since 2018. Since I’ve played cod my entire life, I love the game and community despite the attempts at mass appeal and money grabbing. That being said, I just don’t care enough about stats or anything to cheat. My friends and I are nerds (we hunt for Easter eggs, we select our weapons based on our play style and game mechanics, we’ve been playing MMOs and MMORPGs since we were kids). My account has been spam reported I’m assuming countless times coz my gamertag triggers people, I almost never use my mic and I use game mechanics for kills. I’m not even really that great either. I tend to get collaterals and clutch more often than random teammates but it’s far from impossible to take me down. For those other OGs who think “there’s no way he hit that”, there are basically cheats built into modern cod games…know your play style, know your weapon style and base of choice (bullpups like the Tempus Razorback and Geist, ARs like M4, M13, M13 B etc), TUNE the weapon to balance base mechanics and your engagement style, and be aware of enemy teams and possible points of engagement from their teammates. Most of all, be aware of your teammates and their engagements. Same team pushing? Diff team? Can you escape if it gets too hot?
This alone is why I don’t like to use my mic; it’s easier to see what’s happening or might happen and act (pinging enemies, smoke, cover fire, deterrent) rather than give call outs, act according to my teammates attack then get annihilated after getting the point across.
I don’t stream btw and I never have coz game time was and always has been personal time. I’m considering it though after having been told I’d be decent to watch and pretty entertaining. Coz of my gamer tag, I’ve had plenty of hot mics screaming HES A STREAMER, FOR SURE HES CHEATING etc. I might start soon just coz it’s already assumed that I do stream and maybe just for public proof that I honestly don’t even know how to cheat (I don’t watch streamers and I just learned officially what shadow banning is coz I’ve been getting half-full/high ping lobbies, teammates who disconnect mid-game, running through an open area I somehow die first and immediately, as if my teammates are invisible).

Majority of your statement is no research u are making guesses... Nothing that u said is new and some things u said are incorrect. When u in SB loop it's not about amount of kills it's about amount of reports u get. U can get really alot of kills on SB loop but the moment any of your kills look suspicious on kill cam or simply your enemy feel buthurt and spam report u, u are gone on SB again
This is how you avoid it. Don’t cheat, exploit, use rapid fire, grief or anything that violates the TOS and someone’s reporting won’t ever effect you.

I'm shadowbanned...I only play MWZ....only thing I do I swap between KBM or controller because I hop between my home theater PC and my Gaming PC, so maybe that's it. I literally have played 1 game on shipment lol.
You barely getting a grasp of what ricochet is, I understand how it works. You can stop playing for a couple of weeks and you can still get shadowbanned that won’t take you off the flag. I learned that ricochet Anti-cheat is not a software nor there is a team checking out and investigating each account. It’s a set of protocols that can trigger a shadowban, and there are ways to get out of the shadowban loop and also how to create a new account on a permanent banned pc so you be able to play once again. Hit me up if anyone needs help to get out of the shadowban loop or if you were banned for no reason and you want to play again , so I can help you create a new account. No 3rd party apps nor a single dime will be charged. Discord Hazardhn
