I just received a email from PSN that my account was suspended permanently due to a name violation.
Some of you may know who I am and my name was mildly offensive (it included a name of an STI) I understand some may take offence if they have the disease and then see it as " x has been killed by x disease " but it was a childish mistake when i first created my psn account all those years ago. (If PSN had a name change service like xbox I'd have changed it many years ago)
Main reason why am positing this is because at the time i got suspended (it gives a day of the violation) a person from who i beat in trials messaged me saying hes gonna hack me, report me and insulted me for about an hour till i blocked him. I'm guessing he's the player who reported my name and got me banned and its a damn shame that people like that ruin my entire experience on the playstation.
So just as a warning to everyone if you get salty don't go and report people unless the name is 100% insensitive or damn right cheating as it can effect a lot of people and hurt them as I have now lost thousands of hours on an entire account ps1, ps2 and ps4 not to mention all the online games, dlcs etc i have purchased gone overnight because of a salty pvp'er who couldn't get flawless.

EDIT2:
Been shitting a brick for a while due to strong words such as "Permanently banned" and "severe breaches" but they assured me it was just because of my name and since I've never been in any bother with them before and my account has been around for so long they will allow me to submit a name change request but if that actually happens or not is to be seen. Fingers crossed!
EDIT3:
A lot of people been asking for my actual PSN name. I don't want to give that out since they is haters and children who could and probably will report it even more so withholding it for now.
EDIT4:
A lot of people been asking for what was sent in the message in the trials match. I looked at my saved screenshots and unfortunately only got the start of the messages. I've blurred his PSN name and my full name to stop people been general dicks:

And just to be clear. In this particular trials match they was in the back of the C spawn in last weeks trials so I was flanking with the trials pulse rifle picking each one off as they hard-scoped the pipe thing trying to headshot my team mate who was literally just sat down watching them around the corner every round.
Edit 5:
I received a response from Sony FINALLY... basically saying they accept my 5 name suggestions and they going to begin processing this. Unknown how long this will take so will update when i find out more:

Sometimes it's better to keep your mouth shut. This should have been one of those times.

I'm white trash and I'm in trouble

3 RepliesYOU chose to use a name YOU knew was offensive. PSN is not at fault for what they do in response to YOUR choice. Hopefully, PSN allows you a name change, but, they don't have to. If you can read and write well enough to know you included inflammatory, controversial or derogatory data in your GT, then you have no excuse. Sorry...

7 RepliesShit happened to me like 5 months ago. You gotta call/write to Psn Service and them you can give them 5 names and they gonna pick on of These for you.

Contact Sony. That happened to my friend and he was able to switch all his purchases over to a new account with no problem

And that's why I have a simple gamertag/psn so I don't end up like you (no offense)

3 RepliesHow is an STI offensive? I feel like you're leaving something out...

Edited by mrsjimmymare: 11/12/2015 4:55:05 AMFirst, there is nothing that is 100% insensitive. People get affected by the slightest stuff. Some people don't even care if the world blow up tomorrow. You mentioned someone sent you hate mails for an hour from trials, you didn't say what you replied, you could have replied something offensive enough to get banned, this is my guess. Next, it says several breaches from playstation so I will for now, assume that you broke several rules. If you are no longer a child, then you should know better or maybe see it coming but you ignored the signs. So there you go.

8 RepliesWell the guy that reported you got some epic revenge that's for sure. No doubt you had already gone flawless and was just there to ruin other people's fun, also no doubt you did the same thing in the last season. So I very much doubt you are innocent, lots of doubt here.

Hey, what's the name of the guy who sent that.
