EPTIf there is anyone here with even any faith left in EA or most of the large corporations involved in gaming, including blizzard, please take yourself out of the gene pool. This is just going to get worse and you are all standing there and accepting it.

If anything is going to be automated it should be approved by a human being before the ban goes thru. If you're going to ban people for swearing you should just not sell video games with swearing because it's soooo offensive. It should be made clear when you join the forum tho that your games are at risk. I wouldn't bother joining a forum that told me that  IIRC R1CH stated that he tried to automate the moderation process at one time similar to this way. He said that it labeled everyone as a "shitty poster" and that it was like the Santa from Futurama. | ||

Certainly EA has gone too far, and no one, imo, should play their games if they're going to be such assholes, but I've always liked associating forum moderation with systems of government. 4chan is anarchy, TL is a constitutional monarchy of sorts, and now, EA is a Totalitarian regime. everyone knows TL is the Third Reich | ||

* You shouldn't be banned for someone else his behaviour. * You shouldn't be limited to accessing your games because you are a dick on the forum. Besides that I have no problem whatsoever with strict moderation and I can only hope that TL's moderation will become stricter as well. | ||

*sigh* Godwin's Law never ceases to go unfulfilled. And TL is actually very good about sticking to the laws it has laid out. The mods might be overly snarky at times but their bans are well within TL guidelines. EA has straight up said they weren't going to ban Origin accounts along with forum bans but they are doing the exact opposite. | ||

I don't care how good a game is, how hyped up it is, whether your friends are buying it or whatever other factors might sway your opinion to buy a product of theirs, just don't do it. Force them to reconsider, revamp and address the issues they have created by taking a stand against their products or continue to buy their shit and showing them that you don't care. | ||

Pardon? His crime? Someone else swearing on the forum, with his username in their post. Trying the live chat support instead, he was then informed that his account was permanently banned, and that “all property, items, and characters associated currently are or will soon be deleted.” Followed by, “Is there anything else I can do for you?” Aaron tried again, pointing out that forum bans shouldn’t affect games. And then came this incredible reply: “Please be informed that your account not only suspended, But it is also Banned, So you will no longer to play the game in single player.” WOW. That's ridiculous x.x So wait, is that pretty much analogous to someone else writing a rant post on a Blizzard forum with the name "DarkPlasmaBall" in the middle of the post, which leads to my DarkPlasmaBall StarCraft 1 and 2 and Diablo accounts becoming banned, and me never even being able to play in single player? + Show Spoiler + At least there's still SC64 mwahaha ^^ shit fuck DarkPlasmaBall | ||

Additionally, it's totally ridiculous that you don't really own your copy of the game and they can lock you out. I think the only thing they would be allowed to do is block you from protected servers in multiplayer games, like Steam with VAC-secured servers. For other online games with a persistent experience (mmos), it should be up to the developer of the game to manage bans and such. EA shouldn't be able to ban you from content that you paid for because of some altercation on the forum.  | ||
