glad to see you got YOUR game back lol enjoy

Exactly, it would have been a horrible mistake on ea's part if they revoked the games I bought. Thats like Mitsubishi taking my car away because I sometimes drive fast.

Well in a sense they kinda do since mitsubishi's are not known for their stellar reliability.

sorry had to.

I have owned a couple mitsu's in the past and was always having to work on them because somehitng was always breaking. usually after driving it fast too.

Lol i havent had any problems with mine yet! LOL

It would be interesting to know how my case was moved up so high. If it was because of the one customer rep escalating my case, or if it was due to me posting in the forums or what.

And yes their support does seem to have prewritten responses. Very annoying if you ask me.

That sucks dude. EA Technical support is the worst. They dont even type... they just pick a pre-written response it seems like.

you think that's bad?...the word 'hit' is censored on the EA UK forums.

Why?

I was told it was for something like if someone was to say "I'd hit that" in sexual term of course. lol

I was complaining about the client-side hit detection and now its like client -side lalalala detection. It could be that or just a combination of my bad grammar. :/ http://forums.electronica...=20744400#post20744400

I lol'ed at the seemingly random lalalala in that thread.

Wow thats banned. Edit:oops said banned instead of bad

What a coincidence i heard conan o'brian say just now "he touched my nipple" If its not censored on national tv i dont think ea should have banned me for it.

He said "HE" Which means the nipples are a guys, Which makes it less offensive! Learn2FCC

damn that really sux man. we cant totally blame EA because soo many out there have completely pushed them to the limits, tho i had a feeling you crossed the wrong person.

i know a guy thats account was just unbanned, he got banned b4 the end of 2011. he putup a youtube video of gunning in the heli and posted it in the BF3 forums. was a bad move he most likely got 100s of reports filed as soo many accused him of hacking. well he just got unbanned, and they gave him a bunch of free games on Origin.....they apparently never even bothered to check his BF2 account under the same name, where he had over 80k chopper kills and just as good.

totally sux man.... surprised with soo many getting week or two week bans you would get perm removed. kinda scary..makes me want to never post in bf3 forums again, and leave after 1 round in any server im doing really well in. sad

Thats why ive promised myself that i will never post in the battlelog forums again. Anyways im banned from the forums there until 2/26/2013 so i dont have to worry about it. I played a few games tonight so its confirmed that my account has been unbanned. I could use some free games though! Your friend had it way worse than i did!

I hear your thread on Battlelog got locked? Did you want it locked?

No i did not want it locked. But i just found out why it has been locked i think. I just found this email that i received today.

Greetings,

I have been informed that your Origin account was banned due to issues with your screenname and I wanted to let you know that I have taken the necessary steps to unban your access and all should be fine.

Also, the screenname in question that caused the ban has been changed temporarily to EGC_ColHoffman based on the other names I found on your account.

I would be glad to update it once you respond to whatever we have available, I just added this one temporarily to get you back in.

Thanks for your patience and understanding and please let me know what you would like your account to be.

Hope all is well!

I love Thomas Rodgers!!!! Anyways i have requested to have my name changed to -EGC-Killshot so that is what ill be going by from now on. So glad this has been sorted out!!!!

EDIT: I also recieved a forum ban for exactly one year from this day, so i dont have to worry about the forums anymore. It looks like this is all working out!

A year forum ban?
BS

It does not bother me the slightest! The forums distracted me from the game and wasted alot of my time. Im glad i got banned from that hellish place. Im just happy i get my stuff back!

It always amazes me... that people dont read the agreements they sign.
...
...

I think that is about the worst attitude i have ever seen from a person representing a for profit company, ever. "we can take your games at any time, for any reason, and without reparation" made all the worse with the knife twisting, taunting heckle of an actual EA employee. perhaps that is EA's stance.

my veiw is this: having an "unmoderated" forum is simply asking for trouble. opening such a sandbox to dumb middle-schoolers who think they can act cool and tough by cursing is your asking for trouble and your acting to protect the sensibilities of said population that visits the forum-- not by removing the offensive content, but by coercing an additional payment from the customer. that sounds suspiciously like a crime to me. criminal activity voids contracts. just sayin

Just to be clear, I do NOT work for Electronic Arts and my postings are my own thoughts and opinions.

Personally I belive that between EA's business model and Valve's distribution, we all as gamers have been getting progressively -edited- starting about 10 years ago.. and its only been getting worse.

I am certainly no friend of EA and its TOS, or of electronic distribution and associated DRM.

It disgusts me to know that my personal privacy and my rights are at risk, simply by turning on the hardware I bought and connecting to the web with software I paid for.

I was only pointing out the facts

ok, my mistake. not many non-EA employees can just "review" a case to find out why one's account was locked or testify to the fact that prior warnings or other abuses, nor do they then proceed to make official policy comments like "the ban will not be lifted." so you can see how your original post might have caused that confusion.

Understandable
Because Kingofnipples is on my Battlelog friends list, I get a message everytime he posts in the official forums. And I am able to bring up every post he made since he joined my "friends" list, that was why I used the term "review".

As for my comments on EA banning accounts, EA's TOS banning behavior is established and very well known.

As for being able to "help" someone with a EA issue, my access comes simply from having the correct names/departments email addresses and phone numbers to call. Such information is semi-public, but EA makes it difficult if not impossible to get that proper contact information, lest they be overwhelmed by thousands of angry or unhappy users. While line Support and supervisors have alot of options, the "real" power over serious EA account issues is extremely limited.
I am lucky enough to have been given that information by a old friend who was aware of those fine details and my personal discretion. I have certainly had need of it over the years, as I am a very public target given my very strongly held views about gaming and honor.
