Stop going on EA's forums, people! Can't you take a hint? They don't want people going there anymore!
I'll say it again, when physical disc based games go, then so too will consumer rights. Seriously, fuck EA, and digital distribution.
This is bullshit. As if EA are so offended by a certain configuration of text characters from the alphabet we use.. This is stupid as fuck, except stupider.
All I can do is clap at EA and their attempts to be hated and have their products boycotted. Bravo EA, you try almost too hard sometimes.
That's pretty pathetic on EA's part, but it's probably because they have a bunch of uneducated, vindictive little baboons wearing mittens moderating all fourms. Watch as they try to find a way to ban me even though I'm not on their shitty forums.
Banned from MP only or entire game? I hope you dont have a problem with the game or quality of customer service. Think your game is glitchy now. Big Brother will brick it and keep your money. AFAIK TOS can be changed retroactive anytime and if you agree to them taking your firstborn even if rule is onerous if you agreed your screwed. This shit happens to me Ill only be playing my retro consoles and wont spend another cent on new gear.
Whoops, clicked "Add Comment" with nothing typed by accident. How about it Destructoid, are you gonna ban me just like EA. No wait, it doesn't work that way. First I need to swear up a storm at another contributor, let's say Epic-Kx because he's a good sport (at least I'm hoping he is). Fuck, Shit, Boner, Poop.
And instead of me getting banned, Epic-Kx takes the fall? Wtf?
Wow EA, that's a new version of victim-blaming for ya.

@Ace & Chngomaster:
EA has far surpassed Activision as the evil publisher at this point. Activision has done nothing heinous this entire year (that I can recall). All Activision has done is sit back and let EA make fools of themselves. So far it's been working.
I say let's give credit where credit is due, give Activision a break (for now) and give EA the new crown of worst gaming company ever that it's been working ever so hard to get.

Grow a spine and boycott. I don't care if Mass Effect 2 was your favorite game of all time. Apply some self control, find some other games to play, and stand up for what you know is right.

The solution to this problem is simple.
Someone who doesn't care about EA games goes and makes an account on their forums, then proceeds to make a profanity laden thread, and then add a list of eery username they can find on the forums and in games to the end of it. That way a mass amount of people get banned by their auto-banning software, creating a humongous uproar among the community.
Problem soled.

Wait, whats stopping some troll to make a huge flaming post on the boards and mention pretty much everybody in there, just to get them all banned?

It's not that mod's fault that a forum ban results in a ban from a game you paid for. That is EA policy.
It's also not that mod's fault that EA hasn't corrected this issue yet. And I haven't looked, but I imagine the mod still holds his position and hasn't been reprimanded yet.

So, I have just one question. How this info was verified? Does it happened against just this one user? How we are sure Aaron is not making things up?
EA is not a saint and IF this is true is idiotic. But I think before getting in arms to be sure the story is true.

that mod is protected by EA's terms of service, general policies, and customer service. If that mod went against EA's standard policies, then the mod would be banned and all people who would be banned would be compensated. That still has yet to happen, so until then the company is going to have to answer for, and take responsibility for its employees as long as consumers are having their products taken away from them.

How is this even possible? It's a crazy as a bill that would send people to jail for streaming a game they own. Oh wait...
Hey, someone should get a database entry of all of their users, and just start using profanity in a post, then adding a name to the end of it.
Our own accounts would probably get banned first, but if this story is to be believed, then we could probably get away with locking a few dozen users out before the fault with that system is found.

I bought DeadSpace2 during the autumn sale for $5. I think I'll finish it and then go swear at a bunch of users on the forums for teh lolz. EA games! Here today gone tomorrow!
You wanna know what may be the real issue? EA probably outsourced all it's moderator/customer service jobs to CS frim in a country that doesn't speak the language and is not as developed as the country they are contracted by (absolutely no disrespect towards anyone of another descent or nationality, but if you've dealt with an exceedingly incompetent customer service "professional" who hardly speaks the language of the consumer they are attempting to aid, and know absolutely nothing about the product they are servicing aside from what is written in the screen in front of them, you know how much bullshit it is for company to skimp on their service to their patrons in the name of cheap labor, a price which is ultimately paid by the consumer) I would not be surprised in the least to find out that their staff is comprised of a bunch of computer illiterate idiots who saw a name in a post that violated the content rules and just went with it. Something to think about, if you've ever had to deal with people like that, because they do exist, and they somehow manage to get jobs in tech support for shit they know NOTHING ABOUT.
I'm a broken record on this topic, but it bears repeating. Don't buy EA products. New or used. Ever. Until a time comes when they stop being shit.
Oh yeah guaranteed another year I will not to business with EA before it has even technically started ........ congratulations EA! That's a new record!
So you can kiss my patronage for 2012 goodbye (much like my patronage from 2005,06,07,08,09,10 & 11), yup just sit back and watch me direct my dollars elsewhere you sacks of fucking shit.
Fair warring to developers if your publisher is EA .... I'm just putting your box down right there.... your game could be pure gold and that sucks for me but screw EA.

"Yep, because one ban-happy forum mod = all of EA."
There's 2 interlinked issues here:
1) Getting banned from the forum banns you from your games.
2) He was banned by the language checker software, not a Moderator, automatically because he was mentioned in a ban-able post.
Still think this isn't EA's problem?

I want as little to do with this company as possible, BF3 will be my last EA purchase until they pull their head out of their ass, origin can go fuck it's own face as far as I'm concerned, and it seems like a vast majority of gamers feel the same way. Let them know how angry we are with their recent choices by NOT BUYING THEIR GAMES.
