I started BF4 a few weeks ago I could not join servers I have played it the past.  Seems I was banned for Linked Account though I am not sure what that is and how I got it?  I have never used a hack or shared my account info?  What can I do? 

You need to claim your soldier before the admins will take a look at your account.

I am a total noob about this stuff, can you walk me thru how?  Is that in Origin or in BF4?

Find your soldier on this website and follow the instructions to claim it.

OK I'll give it a try...thanks.

OK, I think my soldier has been claimed, now what?

Do you know who this is?

No, the only person I know on BF4 is my son but he has is own game/account.   The name Vailius doesn't sound familiar from previous games I have played.

What does he have to do with me?

What’s your sons account?

Let me look it up.  He doesn't play anymore, he's hooked on counterstrike. 

I tried to open my BF4 because he was my only friend but he is not listed.  I did reload Origin and BF4 when I started having this issue.  I'll need to call him if it's important for my case?

Yes. 

Ok got his text just now, he thinks his his username is Bulletwound or Bulletwound08....he hasn't played in years.

I looked up both.  It must be Bulletwound08 because he bought BF4 years ago and didn't like it over Counterstrike.   Not a Team Player!

Did I enter the black hole of disinterest or skepticism?

Sorry, your case got hidden underneight other appeals. Your case is currently set to investigating. I will double check the links tomorrow. In the meantime you should be able to join 4DB protected servers.
