I went on my PS3 today. I'd usually be signed right in, but this time I got this message telling me my PSN account was either banned or temporarily suspended. I checked why an account may be suspended and I hadn't broke any of the rules. I haven't even played any online games in a while, so I don't know why this is happening. Do you think any of you guys can help?

 

Aug 10, 2015

I'll get right on it and call my friend at PSN

 

Aug 10, 2015

Are you sure you break any rules?

 

Aug 10, 2015

You sure you weren't acting like all the other obnoxious 13 year olds online?

 

Aug 10, 2015

I haven't even played a game online in months.

 

Aug 10, 2015

Maybe you were acting like an obnoxious 13 year old months ago and it finally caught up with you

 

Aug 10, 2015

The only online games I've played in recent months was GTA Online on PS4. I didn't even have a headset to chat (I had the one the came with the PS4, but I almost never used it), so that can't be the reason.

My dad works at Sony let me call him and I'll tell him to unban you.

 

Aug 10, 2015

My PSN is Nitromian

 

Aug 10, 2015

Alright give me like 30 minutes

By the way, here are all the reasons a person may be banned or temporarily suspended.
Modified System Software
Offender has, or is using altered or unofficial system software. To make sure you have the latest system software, make sure your system is connected to the Internet and choose the "System Update" option under Settings.
I don't have modified system software. I do have CFW on my PSP but I know Sony doesn't care if you do that your PSP. This is PS3 we're talking about here.

Modified Hardware
Offender's system has been modified either physically or via software.
Once again, never modified my PS3.

Reversal of Charges
A console or account may be banned due to having a credit card charge reversed or "charge back" resulting in debt. A charge back can include credit card theft, identity theft, or non-approved use.
This may be the reason. I have PS Plus (just so I could play GTA Online on PS4). When it got auto renewed, I believe my mom told the bank to decline it or something like that... I still had my PS Plus so probably not.

Share/Hijack Account
Sharing personal Sony Entertainment Network account information in order to obtain access to another persons Sony Entertainment Network account. Changing another persons email address, and/or password without their permission in order to gain and control access to an account. Offender attempted to use or take content they did not pay for.
Never shared my account details out with people. Only gave them my PSN name so they can add me if they so feel like it.

Offensive Images or Audio
Offender posted images or broadcasted audio that contained obscenities, profanity, or was otherwise in violation of the PSN Terms of Service.
Nope. My profile picture also wasn't dirty. It was a picture of Crash Bandicoot.

Nope.

Cheat Codes

Did you give your password to @Akio ?

 

Aug 10, 2015

No

 

Aug 10, 2015

?

 

Aug 10, 2015

@RockstarX3000 ok so the 2 reasons that your banned is because they were able to look into your internet history there was some websites you shouldn't be viewing due to being 13. And he also mentioned something about your boost mobile service interfering with wi fi frequencies causing you to have boosted abilities in games. Thus suspending your account for cheating.

 

Aug 10, 2015

Will I ever be un suspended? I wasn't even trying to cheat.

 

Aug 10, 2015

Change your cellular provider and provide proof to me(so I can email my dad the files) that you have and it'll increase your chances of being unbanned.

 

Aug 10, 2015

My parents won't change, and I know they won't change. Is there any other way to be unbanned?

I had a friend who got banned once and he made a video apologizing to Sony and posted it on youtube, they saw it and he got unbanned. Might work for you.
