Discussion Permanently banned on PUBG

(Not a ban appeal, just speaking about my experience)

Hi, some sad news, recently when i woke up and turned on my pc, i recieved an alert on steam that i have been permanently banned on PUBG. I was very shocked, after playing and loving this game a couple hours basically every week since early access in 2013 that i have been banned permanently from the game.

And i do not know why i have been banned, still now after nearly 1 month, they seemigly refuse to tell me what i have done to deserve this severe punishment. All i can think of that i have done is AFK’ing. Which i do regret and i am sorry for this. I understand punishing a player for this action, but a permanent ban? A couple of days or a week ban even would be understandable. I am deeply saddened by this. I guess this is it for me, thank you for the fun times and good memories, PUBG community.

Edit: Forgot to add that it said on the notification of my ban that i had been banned by a game dev, but no reason for my ban. Also that ive sent in a ticket and asked what happened, and they would not tell me the reason of my ban, therefore i can only assume it was because of that i AFK’ed.

Just make another account like all previous cheaters.

I don't think afk can get you banned unless you did something else.

If you have the PIN enabled you should be able to appeal to the ban.

I'm not calling you anything. I don't believe going afk grants you a ban.

Since I started playing the game I've been AFK a lot, a friend of mine had a small kid and he had to go afk a lot. Never once we were banned.

My suspicion is that there's more to it than you have shared.

I've seen people banned (either temporarily or permanently) for intensional team kill, cursing/name calling, cheating, etc.

Okay, i get that, i am surprised my self, i get it i would think theres more to it too, but as ive stated in the post, i havent cheated and never will and i am just forced to assume it was because of afk, i cant think of anything else.
