You are more than welcome to discuss the problems with the game. You can be as negative as you wish. But the second you cross the line into attacking people, you're gone.

I don't think bkrich should be banned, but I definitely don't think he was just "laughing at the ridiculousness of the post". What's the difference really? To laugh at someone's idea or to laugh at their face? Both make the poster feel stupid I think.

Semantics really. I guess I should have said lol at the notion that this violates someones constitutional rights.

If you say something that ridiculous in any forum whether it's at the dinner table, on a subway car or an internet forum, you're probably going to draw a similiar reaction. My intention wasn't to insult the poster, but to point out how absurd such a notion is. I mean really. Do people really think the 1st amendment would apply here? Sadly I think some do. But that's another discussion.

Well they won't steal again will they?!?... I personally think it should be mandatory but let's.not discuss my politics.

Guys,

It isn't difficult.

We aren't saying you can't voice your opinion and we encourage you to do so. We just ask that you do it the right way. There really is no other way to state it.

My opinion is: If you aren't sure if your post is constructive enough, edit it or don't post it at all.

What I usually find most confusing about the confusion is that the people that have been here for longer than a few months are the ones that are most concerned about not being able to voice their negative opinions openly.

You're still here, which should prove that you've been doing a swell enough job. Just keep that up.

Ok, I've read this just now as I've joined (Rookie, excuse me) but it already seems as if this site is run by developers. We as college football fans, as well as video game fans should be able to freely voice our opinions as we feel. I'm not saying attacking, cussing, or anything of that matter but if we feel that there is a problem, unfairness, or something we don't like about the game we should be able to come here to talk about it, as well as what we like about the game. How does the game improve if we don't let them know what's wrong and what we like. I can see this by viewing this thread and seeing that half the people have been banned for probably criticizing the product. Just thought I'd weigh in to see if this is the right site for me...

Trust me you will be fine. You can point out everything you hate about the game as long as you don't do it in an ignorant way. As long as you aren't bashing for the sake of bashing it is fine.

You are allowed to criticize the game. Just dont attack people and be mature about it and you wont have any problems.

Dont say that EA sucks and the devs dont do anything.

Talk about the problem and if possible a solution that would fix it.
