SHADOWBAN BOOSTING BO6

Hey everyone,

I've been shadow banned by Activision for boosting, and I'm under investigation.

I did join a bot lobby to grind for Camos

What will the out come be with activison now ? Has someone been through this process and what was your outcome ?

What’s the typical punishment for a first offense?

Thanks guys !

Are you shadow banned or banned for boosting? They are two different ban messages. If you're shadow banned then you just got reported or triggered something server-sided (maybe headshot % detection).

An actual boosting ban will prevent you from even playing in shadow ban lobbies, you will have a temporary ban on the website too.

I am just Shadow Banned at the moment for Boosting, the reason I know its for boosting is because I put a support ticket in and they said:

''After a thorough investigation with your account. We can confirm that your account has an active enforcement. For more information, please review the “Boosting” section in the Call of Duty Security & Enforcement policy''

It will probably clear up then in a week just like any other shadow ban. I guess they don't temporarily ban you anymore and just shadow ban you for this offense.

I think they also ban you from ranked now once you get a shadow ban, in a Discord I'm in, almost anyone who gets shadow banned also gets a rank lock now too! but I'm not sure what the criteria for that is. Since some people don't get a rank ban even though they rage hack and get shadow banned.

I can't really suggest anything helpful to you as I've not had any issues with bans so far in BO6

Are you still suspended from ranked? Maybe you could try putting up a support ticket again

I got a temp ban that lasted for 5 days. It was the same thing as a shadow ban. But I was in a few bot lobbies in a row and probably got like 200 headshots with a few deaths and got kicked mid game (a kick mid game is a shadow by the way). My account is fine though. Tbh was kinda worried about it because my account was shadowed twice before so I was thinking that I was going to catch a perm ban, but didn’t.
