I really love how various services nowadays will just ban you without providing any context why you were banned.
Probably half of the time I am banned I have no idea which rule I violated, which makes me more likely to violate it again, when I wait till I am unbanned or create another account.
I did try to create a new account, but it's really annoying because my original EA account is linked to my steam account, and cannot be unlinked. So I would need another steam account as well. Unless I can figure out a way to play without steam, which I'm not sure how to do because of... you guessed it, fucking anti-cheat.
At least when it comes to games, they likely don't want to disclose to potential cheaters how they detected them.
It's also a support burden to look into every case of automated bans.
Thay say it's for security, but it's to avoid accountability.
Yeah, I'm guessing there are many reasons that they don't disclose that.
