My friend got banned for no reason!? What are the options?

i was banned for the same reason. i emailed support and 20min later got automatic response they will look into it and message me back. 3 weeks later i got 2 sentence back "ok we give you the benefit of the doubt but look into our tos so you dont get banned again". no apologies nothing. i asked again why i got banned anyways and they just said they will not tell me lmao. happens to a lot of people, saw streamers and content creators get banned and unbanned. i doubt they have automatic flagging system or else the whole process would be a lot easier. i think they just ban you if a player reports you and then when they have time and you email they look over it and see if the ban is even justified or not. thats the only way i can think of it and how other games do it as well (blizzard games ban players automatically after a player report). might also be why some people get banned in global chat for writing simple things such as "lol" which i have seen posted her recently as well. i guess all you can do is hope support has a good day when looking over your email. keep it short and on point, no emotions i recommend, so you not piss off the support guy. unfortunately we cant do anything as a community about this nonsense. as too many are obviously too amused by other players getting banned. evil people love to point fingers at others and call them evil.

Yea sure, "a report"
Apparently it's just a single report that's enough and GGG has literally nothing to check on suspicious activity. Yup

For reals, something isn't holding up with these ' i did nothing ' stories.

Its like the ones that say they did nothing wrong to get muted, but have months of mute time.

Because they know that if they were honest about it people wouldn't take them seriously. Better to lie and stirr up some drama on the way out the door, I guess

I'm not sure who this "community" is you are talking about but most people are happy with GGG taking action against toxicity in global chat. God knows we have too much of that still

Also in other games this is done by owners of bot accounts in waves.
To pretend that there's been a ban wave of innocent people

If you bothered to read what he wrote there you can tell it was NOT for no reason.

The only reason he was unbanned is because GGG were not quite sure enough to keep it permanent even though the system had flagged them probably multiple times.

FYI they would monitor that account to see if they keep getting flagged afterwards.
