In mass effect 2, they pretty much entirely disregarded liara's character and rewrote her to pretty much the polar opposite of who she was before to fill another role in the story. And most of the other characters in ME2 were too dull engage in a conversation with.SirBryghtside said:

Yeah, but that's that quoting other people's posts is still a violation bullshit we've seen before. It's still bullshit, but not as egregious as what it sounds like your issue is.MaximumTacos said:
It sounds like your issue is, if I were to go on to the EA Origins forums and say "MaximumTacos is a lizard hugging monster" (if "lizard hugging monster" was actually an offensive insult), then you'd get the ban.
What we're seeing from Daish is I called you a lizard hugging monster, and then you responded with a coherent post about the merits of reptilian camaraderie, and then you get banned for saying "lizard hugging monster".
What I'm getting at though is this, did I misunderstand your situation? Were you slapped for quoting someone else, or was it literally someone else talking about you in their post that got you slapped with the ban?
Honestly, every recurring character from ME1 does that or comes down with a terminal case of "teh stupids" in ME2.brainslurper said:
If you romanced either of the other characters they'll ***** and moan about how you didn't call them from beyond the grave when you finally meet up with them again.
When you meet up with the council, if you didn't kill their sorry asses, they'll say they have "dismissed the reaper threat", shove their fingers in their ears and hum loudly.
The woman who was a gang leader asking you to knock off other gang leaders will become "a social worker" if you spared them, and I honestly can't tell you if she's pulling one over on you or not, as her story is too ridiculous to take at face value.
Anderson, Talli, the Council and the Vermire survivor will throw a fit Shepard's working for Cerberus when there is no option to say, "hey, I'd work for you."
Shepard conveniently forgets their canonical origin (sole survivor) to work with the people who massacred their buddies...
And all of this is just off the top of my head, there are loads more kicking around. If anything Liara is one of the least mauled characters, though admittedly that is a bit like being the only survivor of an ipecac spiked sushi eating contest.
The Old Republic pulls the same kind of shit towards KOTOR2's Exile to a degree that makes their treatment of MaxTacos seem kind and genteel.
I am 99% sure that it was a case of my username being in his post, and his post being immediately before or after my post. Having it happen just based on username and no other connection to the thread for that username is just too much for me to believe.
I would remember quoting it because whenever you quote on battlelog forums, you have to snip out that "leave a reply..." bit from their actual post that's being quoted, which gives you another look at it down in the reply box, and I'd also remember his terrible swearing ability. NBC is just something an angry 12 year old would say.

The reddit story is getting a lot of downvotes, can you guys help a bit and give some upvotes?

You're now on the front page of r/gaming. Hopefully it raises the rage levels of gamers that little higher concerning Origin.MaximumTacos said:
Also, good show posting it on Reddit. If there was ever a website where people love to outwardly complain about things, it's Reddit, meaning it is the perfect place for you to post.
I hope your account issues become resolved in the near future and can continue playing the games you enjoy.
Calumon: I hope you can have fun again away from big meanies who won't let you have fun. : (
Actually I just checked your Battlelog profile.

Fun comments I found.
That thread though is one huge flamebait thread and while they did censor the first post. Plenty of people quoted it.
You where a troll and now you act surprised about being banned?
So sorry I don't think you're telling the truth but just want to ruin EA reputation.

Was the ban for trolling though? Nope, it was for something he didn't even say.Zefar said:
How exactly would this be staged to set up EA to "ruin their reputation" (which IMO is already pretty garbage with past tricks), especially when other people have reported the same as OP?

Funny how he's showing my posts but not the posts of other people in those threads. Cherrypick much?
How are you so sure he's telling the truth? He was a troll on their forums and he didn't even TRY to get his account unbanned in the pictures he post. He also post no evidence of the post that he got banned for either.DecoyBeacon said:
He isn't staging this to ruin EA reputation more, he's just a troll getting more and more out of it. When I posted this post on the Steam forums he shut up and hasn't made a post since. Before he was quick to try to defend himself with "Guess you didn't read where I didn't say that."
But the moment I brought out those quotes of him and he's the topic starter of a huge flamebait thread as well. The last comment might have been the one that triggered his full ban.
The other people might also be trolls as well. This is the internet and EA have been in the hot spot for some time. With plenty of haters of BF3 from the BF2 games there are bound to be trolls that do this.
Stop being an intellectually dishonest prat.Zefar said:
I've tried constantly since this happened to get my account un-terminated, verified with support that the banning related post was the IRNV NBC comment, which I never made. Would you like to listen in on another call into support? I'll do a skype conference.
He won't, of course. He'll tell me that I somehow am able to fake EA's support phone tree, because I have a PBX in my basement with voice recognition menu software.
That's not enough for the major distinction made here.Versuvius said:

I wasn't trolling, though. Read the threads for context.

Keep telling that you wasn't trolling but calling people morons or saying that the thing they said was the most stupid thing in the entire thread is insulting.MaximumTacos said:
The huge thread about IRNV nerf was also flame baiting because you where begging for their tears. Several comments of yours had been censored by Moderators so you ain't exactly a good forum user.
You are a troll, it is a fact. Also as for EA sending out dogtags to them, AND?
Btw I've been asking about the proof of the post he got banned for. He has yet to post it. Figures as he probably don't have one.
If a quote was censored by moderators, it was probably because I quoted someone else.
I guess you think that moderators only censor the posting of someone and if someone else quotes it, they don't mess with that.
Hold on, I'm going to make another recording of calling EA support.

Well given how the forum posts in the thread where he was banned are now "hidden by a battlelog administrator", you can't really tell at all, but obviously there is something to his story as those posts would not have otherwise been hidden now would they? All he has is the quote from EA what he got banned for in the email he got. You want him to some how access a forum hes banned from to access posts which are now hidden by admins? Ok good luck with that one. Let me know when you've cracked time travel to view his ban unfolding.Zefar said:
Ive seen the steam forums too and there are plenty of people there making fun of EA for the banning(s).
Flamebait topics and trolling theres tons of them on battlelog pretty much all of them get to stay too they just get bumped off the front page by even more troll/flame topics, have you even seen them? One thing which isn't in all of OP's forum posts you highlighted lack though is any form of swearing. Personally I hate the IRNV too, its pretty much gamebreaking, so it probably does skew my position on things, up to the point of he was banned based on a forum post permanently, which it doesn't matter who it is (short of someone going on a racist homophobic xenophobic tirade) shouldn't result in permanent ban from every EA game they've ever sniffed at, past present and future. If OP's previous posts where so offensive why is not banned for them? or when he made that topic? Even so it wouldnt have been acceptable to ban someone from ALL EA services for such a thing.
All in all you asking for definitive proof which doesn't exist and are ultimately pinning a common occurrence on EA forums as the reason for OP's ban, when that so far isn't the case, the ball is in EA's court to prove it isn't the case. Until that happens, EA is in the wrong, after all it isn't the first time they've done ridiculous things like this is it? its far from an uncommon thing over there, it just gets more and more insane each time. In before EA bans everyone who sides with people who where unfairly banned through out all of time.
Mods on Battlelog don't edit out quotes if you quote someone who later gets moderated, they just nuke the whole post.DecoyBeacon said:
