i mean
this probably isnt rage worthy but it made me mad
"Hi,
Your ban is valid, i.e. backed by clear evidence of hack usage, and therefore won't be lifted.
If you didn't cheat, then you are probably a victim of cd-key theft and a cheater used your cd-key and got banned with it. If you think that this is the case and you can prove that you are the legitimate owner of the cd-key (via proof of purchase, etc.), please contact the game developers at support@bistudio.com and ask them for help. They might be able to disable your old cd-key and give you a new one, given that there is actual evidence of theft. Note that there is nothing BE can do about others getting access to your system (via cd-key stealers, there is a news post about this issue on battleye.com) and stealing personal data such as your cd-key, that's entirely your own responsibility. Also, it's technically not possible for hackers to steal your cd-key in-game.
Otherwise the only way to get unbanned and be able to play on BE servers again is to buy a new copy or cd-key of the game (ArmA 2: Operation Arrowhead). Please understand that no further details about your ban can be revealed and no further instructions on how to get unbanned can be provided.
Regards,
Bastian Suter"
