# Bans & Flags

> Account Action: Suspended until XXXX/XX/XX
>
> Offense: Gameplay / Behavioural Offense

You don't need to be cheating in order to receive such a ban. It has happened in the past with some users, though it isn't common. It happens due to queuing with other cheaters in a stack.

> Account Action: Account Closure - Overwatch Account
>
> Offense: Unauthorized Cheat Programs ("hacks")

This ban is a cheat related ban, meaning either it's detected, your pc is flagged or you've been manually reviewed.

> Action Taken: Account Closure

This ban email is more generic and common amongst all users (regardless if they're cheating or not). The email itself is very vague and doesn't provide much insight as to what triggered the ban. There's a lot of factors to account for when this kind of ban occurs. Most of the time it's due to recieving too many bans in a short amount of time.

> Game: Overwatch
>
> Action Taken: We have silenced this account.

This suspension is issued due to toxicity either in text chats or voice. Again, doesn't require you to be keying to receive such a ban. Just /hidechat in Overwatch and leave VC to avoid all of this.

This ban happens to cracked Overwatch 1 and 2 accounts. If that account is flagged, the account will be closed.\
\
If you use a detected provider you will get flagged. To test if you are flagged make a new overwatch account and play 10 games, if you are ban within 24 hours you are flagged. To fix you should Windows reinstall with a usb and format disks. \
