You attack a user (even something as little as calling someone an idiot) and you are banned permanently

WOW that is going WAY overboard. Thats like cutting off somebodies hand for stealing a candy bar. The punishment needs to be in proportion to the crime. One little mistake should not get permanently banned. Maybe a week ban, but a permanent ban is insane.

Seems just about any little mistake in bannable. Your going to have to be perfect if you want to keep posting here.

No one is saying you can't discuss why you are disappointed with the game and I don't see anything in this post that would even lead you to believe that.

Act maturely, discuss maturely and you have nothing to worry about. Saying EA SUCKS!!! is not acting maturely.

I don't get this argument.

It's very simple. Attack the post, not the poster. It's not a "little mistake" its a blatant post. There is a distinct difference between the two.

You keep using the word mistake.

Anything someone would be banned for is not a mistake.

It's really very simple.

First off, why would you buy the game every year if you are just disappointed in it every year? Second, there are no first amendment rights on OS. It is a privately owned site. You agree to the terms set forth by the owner when you register. If you break those terms you can be banned.

"- NO COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE ROSTERS The rosters aren't real. #21 for Oregon is NOT LAMICHAEL JAMES. If a player in the game resembles a real life player, so be it. But I no longer want to see "Why does so and so have dreads? EA Sucks!" because it's not the player. It is a generic representation of an NCAA athlete. THIS WILL BE A BANNABLE OFFENSE. - Heres where I call B.S. ..... if the game is not based on real people from the real teams like the Ben producer has said many times why does team builder still have a QB #2 whos "attributes" and height and size and number are exactly what Pryors would have been if he had not left OSU.... That is why I should BE ALLOWED to BASH rosters. It is a bold face lie from the producers of the game. Because Ben himself stated its not based on the people but what they have and OSU doesn't have anyone close to that kid anyone more or less his attributes...."

Please go look at the first amendment. You, like a lot of people, are mistaken in thinking it applies in the private sector.

Lol at someone believing this violates their constitutional rights.
