But, like all countermeasures, the Code of Conduct is not without its issues. A number of players, who just happened to have their mics turned on, got shadowbanned without any specific reasons. After they are banned, they get the message, “Disruptive Behavior Enforcement: Voice chat temporarily disabled for public channels“.

If you come across this message, it means you have been banned from communicating on the game channels. The length of the ban varies from 48 hours to weeks and months. However, there are ways to appeal to Activision if you believe that you have been wrongfully banned.

Although the anti-toxic measures are good for the entire community in general, there are some players who are getting wrongfully shadowbanned due to weird circumstances. Several players have faced bans just because their mics were turned on and they reacted to the in-game scenarios. To be fair to the Code of Conduct, it does ban players for curse words, even if they are uttered in frustration and are directed at oneself.
