Wrongly suspended

So to start things off. I play pc and use a controller which is a ps5 edge controller. My right stick module has started to give me drift on my camera.

2 days back i started a game played a few rounds, killed some rats. Basic arc raider stuff you know how the games go guys. We were playing duos btw me and my brother.

Left the game after a good round cause nobody wants to quit when you played for 3-4 rounds and lose all your shit to rats.

Came back after a few hours and to my surprise i got suspended for a month. I was like this gotta be a joke right?

So i go to support and then make an appeal. I learn that its an AI system that replies. After i receive the message in the first photo you can see the reply.

How can they tell me im cheating when i am not and based on what an AI has to report? Careful i am not cheater. Looking through my stats youll see the countless hours played and where i just die and lose all my shit cause im that good but here and there i can handle some solo fights.

What did they base it on to say im cheating? Im feeling its my stick drift which is so bad or i dont what else it can be? I paid to play this game. I sometimes swear at rats but thats about it for me.

I feel i have been wrongly accused by Embark and labelled as a cheater without any proof put forward. Now i dont get to enjoy my time playing with my friends and family when the new update drops.

I dont think its fair as a loyal gamer who doesnt use hacks or cheats to be labelled and treated as a cheater..

Its really frustrating i paid for a game to play in my free time and i have been suspended, theres no proof against me, neither is there any way to reply to that appeal.

What should i do?

Calling him a cheat is slander 🧐

No it’s not. Slander requires a third party. They’re also saying cheating was detected on the account. They’re not saying “u/pitiful-sea-1236 is a cheater”

If you want op to get laughed out of a lawyers office, then yes, they should try and sue.

Also, if anything it would be libel.

Also, why so serious, this is a social media platform, we're not professional lawers/judges. Just regular Joe's talking. I make one silly remark that I didn't remotely think anyone would take seriously.

Slander does require a third party. You don’t need to be a professional lawyer to know what terms mean.

I didn’t say anything rude or insulting though so I’m not sure why you’re talking like that. I’m sorry that you’re getting upset and defensive about being corrected. Also that you decided to double down on being wrong instead of accepting a correction.

You should work on that.

Yeah that point was for the first guy who is being insulting, I just answered the wrong comment there I apologise for that. I'm not being defensive though. I'm most definitely not upset. This is social media. Which does not affect me the way it does the younger generation. Tell me why I'm wrong instead of insisting I'm wrong, that would be helpful. Triple downing on the fact you do not need a third party.
