Banned on Call of Duty?

Have you been shadowbanned in warzone, warzone 2, or any other call of duty game? In this article, we bring you the main reasons behind this problem, how you can prevent getting shadowban, and an easy Online solution to remove this annoying issue that is affecting more and more players across their platforms.

How does the shadow ban function?

The shadow ban works by hiding or restricting the usage of active users across a platform without any warning or notification, in this specific case, Activision tries to restrict or hide users that they consider are violating the norms of the game. The penalty always varies or will depend on certain factors such as the age of the account, your behavior in lobbies, and other factors. In a nutshell, it is next to impossible to calculate how long the shadow will remain.

Is it fair for users?

This is a question that raises many concerns and questions, in a way it is a good approach to prevent a hacker, cheater, or spammer from simply creating a new account. For the most part, the user is unaware of this condition and might think it just has to do with a bug in the game. On the other hand, there are legit users that are being affected on a daily basis who are not at fault and still have to suffer from minor to major consequences.

Reasons why you might have been shadowbanned

Here on this list, we bring you the most common reasons why an account might get shadow banned, keep in mind, these are very general and there could be a very specific reason why your account got shadowbanned.

Harmful behavior in lobbies

This is certainly nothing new, as a way to keep a safe and enjoyable environment, Activision has been shadow-banning users who exhibit an offensive attitude toward other players. It is not clear how this shadow ban works but it is most likely to be implemented when other users report you on the game.

Strange conduct during game sessions 

When we talk about strange conduct we are not talking about misbehaving in the lobbies, this type of ban is new and it is affecting more and more users. As a way to keep a good gaming experience, the server shadowbans anyone launching and quitting the lobby in a short period of time. 

Reselling accounts

This is a bit more complex but with new improvements in security, Activision is now detecting accounts that were sold with some sort of valuable in-game items. This has been possible as now game servers are able to detect IP addresses and also there is a strict policy when buying something in the game.

Hacking or cheating

This one is the most obvious, using any type of hacking tool or cheating software will get you shadowbanned in Call of duty, this is of course if you are lucky. For the most part, you will get permanently banned from the game if you get detected several times doing so. 

Bugs

No game is perfect, and this one is no exception, sometimes the game servers can get the wrong signals from your usage and they might get you banned from Call of duty. Don’t worry, if you did not do anything wrong the shadow ban will be lifted or in the worse case you can appeal the ban.

Can I appeal to get it unbanned?

Yes, if you’ve been shadow banned in Call of Duty, you can still apply for a ban appeal, this is your right and they have to review every single case if requested by the user.  This applies to all COD games including Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone.
