honor rewards locked?

so ive been chat banned and my honor level is locked. i deserved it blah blah yeah thats not the point. so before i think it was level 0 or maybe honor level 1 before you started to earn keys again... NOW it says rewards are locked until honor level 2... is that a joke? i have 22 chests and now i cant even earn a key fragment for the next 3-4 months of playing? a key fragment... wow
