EA Forums Ban Includes All Your Games Too.

[HaKKa_Few]

A post on the EA Support Forums from APOC, online community manager for Electronic Arts, outlines a new policy for their new forums, saying users who earn a ban based on their behavior in the forums will be locked out of all of the EA games tied to that account: 'Well, its actually going to be a bit nastier for those who get banned. Your forum account will be directly tied to your Master EA Account, so if we ban you on the forums, you would be banned from the game as well since the login process is the same. And you'd actually be banned from your other EA games as well since it's all tied to your account. So if you have SPORE and Red Alert 3 and you get yourself banned on our forums or in-game, well, your SPORE account would be banned to. It's all one in the same, so I strongly recommend people play nice and act mature. All in all, we expect people to come on here and abide by our ToS. We hate banning people, it makes our lives a lot tougher, but it's what we have to do.

I take it this is their approach to resolving flaming issues? Interesting... adding direct effect to cause. It's like the Chris Rock joke about self-control. In an argument, if the other guy is way bigger and you can see it's leading toward a physical confrontation, suddenly people have the self control they previously claimed not to.

peace. bubs
