How Call of Duty: Modern Warfare bans work

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare titles are enforced by Activision's RICOCHET anti-cheat team. The penalties range from temporary suspensions to permanent bans and are set on the Activision account rather than on a single console or PC.

Reviews are requested through Activision Support. An appeal, therefore, has to cover the account, the platform and the start of the penalty, and it shall explain the activity Activision flagged instead of disputing enforcement in general.

Step by step

How to appeal a Call of Duty: Modern Warfare ban

  1. Save the ban notice

    The first step is to secure the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare ban message as a screenshot and as text, together with the date, the platform and any reference number or ID it shows.

  2. Find the rule it relies on

    The notice usually names a rule. That rule shall be looked up in the terms Activision Publishing, Inc. publishes, so that the appeal answers it instead of making a general complaint. Activision Publishing, Inc. terms of service

  3. Collect what supports your side

    Useful evidence includes purchase receipts, earlier support replies with ticket numbers and, for a device ban, when the PC or console was acquired and who else used it. A password, however, is never part of the evidence.

  4. Send one clear appeal to Activision Support (ban appeal page)

    The appeal is sent while signed in with the banned account, as a single request that sets out what happened in chronological order, why the rule does not fit and which documents are attached. Official page: support.activision.com/ban-appeal (link checked on 26 Oct 2026)

  5. Keep the ticket and follow up with facts

    The ticket number and the reply shall be kept. If Activision Publishing, Inc. refuses, a second request makes sense only with new facts or a clearer explanation; repeating the first request adds nothing.

We prepare steps 2 to 4 for you: the appeal text, the rule it answers and where to send it, checked by a person before you get it. Start your Call of Duty: Modern Warfare appeal

Questions

Questions about Call of Duty: Modern Warfare appeals

Can I appeal a Modern Warfare ban?

Yes, by requesting a review through Activision Support. Shadowbans ("under review") end on their own once the review is finished.

Will a new account help?

Creating new accounts to get around a ban usually breaks Activision's rules again. If you think the ban was wrong, appeal the original account.
