This Apex Legends player ban is a reminder to be very careful using the game’s text chat

One Apex Legends player has been handed an automatic one-week ban for typing the word “sex” in the game’s text chat. This goes against the rules of EA’s Positive Play Charter because it’s apparently considered a form of harassment.

If a user breaks the guidelines in the Positive Play Charter or EA’s user agreement, the company may temporarily or permanently prevent that user from playing EA’s games. The player who got banned for a week typed “I get scared b4 [before] sex” during an Apex match. The player will be able to play Apex after one week, but EA may ban them permanently if it happens again.
