Your account has been permanently banned!

That was the only message I received while playing Black Ops one day with my Clan. Now, I am a mature woman with two young adult children. I've been playing since Metal of Honour. As I was mostly a stay at home mom, I have logged in an embarrassing amount of gaming hours and yet after over 20 years of playing nearly everyday, I rank something like only #80 or worse in skills on a server. Like everyone, I have good days and bad days when playing.With the exception of Card Games as a child I have NEVER CHEATED playing against other RL players! I am only interested in how I do against the skills of others and socialising and with instant re-spawns I am hunting down that camping ♥♥♥♥ once again. Anyone who knows me knows of my sickeningly high standards and integrity. I am crazy honest. I do not, to my knowledge have anything on my computer that could have triggered a ban but apparently I am wrong about that. I had contacted the developers numerous times and asked what specifically caused the ban with no response. I guess I can understand seeing as a tip from them to me for an illegal program can undermined game security. But any response would have been nice, without knowing the issue I can not fix it. So, nothing has changed on my computer, I ended up having to purchase a new Black Ops game on a new account and my reputation has been sullied (which is what really pisses me off the most.)

Now, I know that it is only my word that people have that I would never cheat; there is nothing more I have than that and this post was more help my hurt ego for a now tarnished reputation than anything else. People will either give me the benefit of the doubt or they will condemn me. That is their choice and thanks to the many actually cheaters out there I know that more will believe I am at fault. So I sadly must submit to that knowledge.

I will say one thing however; due to this experience, I am less inclined to believe that all bans are deserved and will hold my judgement.

Thank you for reading
