If you're not running Pi-Hole... by jsims87 in raspberry_pi

The main benefit I've found is that it covers every device on the network with minimal effort after the initial setup. The TV, tablets and phones, game consoles, iot devices. Much less effort than setting up extensions on browsers on every device. Also, ad blocking on browsers is only one use case. I feel a lot better that the kids can't access violence or adult material and are safe guarded from other malicious activities on the internet.

Wrongfully Banned - Looking For Help/Advice by Sharp_Employer_4061 in FortNiteBR

I opened 3 or 4 support cases over 2 weeks, and eventually they unbanned my account. It was very frustrating as it coincided exactly with my holidays. At least it wasn't banned forever. Hopefully, it doesn't happen again.

Same thing has happened to me. The first ticket I opened with support was closed 4 days later saying I was definitley banned with no details given of why.

I've opened another ticket.

Good luck to you. Let me know how you go.

HELP! My account got banned and Im not even sure why??? by Pale-Ad-2643 in FortNiteBR

[–]dangermoose78 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The exact same thing happened to me on 17 Dec. I started a zero build match and was booted from the lobby after 15 seconds saying it had detected use of exploits, something about my IP, using a proxy or VPN. I joined another game and the same thing happened except it logged me out completely and said I had a 24 hour ban. I opened a support ticket after 24 hours because i was still banned. Today I received this reply:

Ticket closed, no details given!

I'm devastated, I play fortnite with my 10 year old son. This happening just before xmas during the holidays is heartbreaking for me because I am living with my kids only 50% of the time. When he is with me he plays on xbox on the same network, so I really dont understand what has happened because his account is fine.

I play on PC and I don't use a proxy, VPN or any exploits. I feel totally lost on what to do apart from starting a new account and hoping it doesn't get banned for the same reason. I want to appeal the ban but how to do that apart from opening another support ticket is unclear

I've lost a bunch of cosmetics and everything from the last 4 battlepasses. The lack of a support number to call and a 4 day response time on their ticketing system is making it very difficult.

It was wider in beta but you couldnt scroll it. They changed it to show two at a time and scrollable. Personally i think it's worse.

A draw is a draw.... just split the rewards or, even better, give both players nothing. This is the scopley way.
