Appeal:


Hello, I have been banned on the 19/06/2020 based on a proof from neonardo1 for using a 3rd party program to put a crosshair into my game.

Let me introduce you into the issue at first. As I am an older person (closing to 53 y.o. - FB as a proof https://www.facebook.com/fefiCZ) my eyesight is not what it used to be. I started having problems with long time playing. So I asked my friend to help me with the blurry Battlefield 4. We installed a 3rd party program called ReShade to make my game sharper using LumaSharpen. During the first few games I played with the program installed, there was, unfortunately, also installed a crosshair overlay. After I stopped playing I had a consultation with the friend who had installed the program for me and we uninstalled the program as a whole as it did not help me at all quite on the contrary it was distracting. I have not been using the program ever since.

I have been a long term Battlefield player (ever since BF3). On Battlefield 4 in particular I have over 4.500 hours and I have never had any need to use any 3rd party program and as far as I know I have never been banned for using any forbidden programs. 

I am a part of a very active clan in the Czech Republic. I have been organising local and also international matches, which you can assure yourself of from my YT channel (https://www.youtube.com/user/kocour1967/videos). You can also see there that I have not been using any external programs.

I feel very sorry about this situation that was cause by my lack of knowledge.

I hope that you will understand this and lift my ban.

Best regards

Reshade might be considered "safe" by EA, Punkbuster but putting an overlay crosshair on your game is an unfair advantage. Although I was the banning admin and normally I shoudn't make a decision on your ban, the proof is clear and nobody else will make a different decision.
