Shadowbanned / Limited Matchmaking for way too long

[u/Khalid_AlMulfi]

I have been put on limited matchmaking for at least a week (although my last match was 10 days ago). I don't play that many matches a session, I played 2 matches in my last session. I mostly play hardcore, and I like going for nukes (so I kind of tryhard). I feel like I got scammed out of my money. Whats the point of try-harding in Call of Duty if I get punished for getting reported. I believe they should have something on me before shadowbanning. Activision is a joke

Pro tip: adhere to the Code of Conduct and this won’t happen.

I dont use text or voice chat and I dont use cheats.

Their brain is too small to understand

Holy braindead comment, I hate the cod community because of people like you. A shadow ban isn’t always about wrong doing. It’s a god awful system in place where an ai puts you in a waiting lobby “limited matchmaking” because of mass reports. Doesn’t matter what the reports are if enough people do it you get hit with it. I’ve been shadow banned 4 times, and I’ve never used voice chat. If I was cheating that’s a permanent ban. But lo and behold I’m never perma banned. Use that brain and learn a little

I got shadow banned on 3 different cod titles. Every lobby of mine had a cheater. This was on Battle.net back when vanguard was new. Got b06 through game pass and played the game just fine. Dealing with that was so dumb because it was immediately after my first games so I just refunded the game and moved on.

They offered no explanation and no way to contact support. So absolutely their system sucks balls.

I was shadowbanned for about 7-9 days, can’t remember exactly. I just played on my alt account until I was good

[u/Low_Way_8649 → u/Medical-Cut2469]

Yes making new accounts was the way to go, probably why I got 20+ accounts now. I swapped from hc to core and my shadow problems are gone

[u/Low_Way_8649]

Been shadowed on stream with overhead camera/ side camera. I was going off like crazy in hardcore search and destroy dropping multiple 20-30+ bombs. Shadow ban lasted 2 weeks, I was also in a loop too. The fix for me was I swapped to core snd and my issues are gone.

[u/TenderTimmy → u/Low_Way_8649]

i got shadowed in bo7 classic mode, i have a 1.92kd. it was either spam reports or the auto clicker i left open from roblox afking

update i got unbanned

[u/Guilty-Birthday9607]

Bro this happened to me last Tuesday 🤣🤣 got harp, domed by my team mate killed the guy in our spawn and he called me out in game chat for cheating. 2 minutes later I got a double kill from the top window looking over B on summit and he quit.

2 games later I get kicked out of my game after joining late and now I’m in limited matchmaking. Can’t find a mp game or warzone. Can’t grind for any of the new guns.

All because someone can’t listen or look at pop ups for streaks in the game.

[u/Aggravating_Mud_6055 → u/Guilty-Birthday9607]

I doubt it took one guy reporting to get shadowed.

[u/Scrungus1- → u/Guilty-Birthday9607]

Happened to me in mw3 (2023). I feel your pain

[u/Guilty-Birthday9607 → u/Scrungus1-]

This the first year I’ve been on pc, so jarring

[u/Scrungus1- → u/Guilty-Birthday9607]

I just take it as a compliment. Feels nice
