  • You all understand freedom's come with responsibility, including freedom of speech. Just because you can say whatever you want does not mean it does not have consequences. EA might be a little overboard concerning their filters but it is what it is. Using insulting language at a police officer etc. will land you in trouble irrespective of your freedoms. It is the user of that speech that has the responsibility to act accordingly, if you are at somebody's house they might not invite you back if you do not act accordingly and that is their right, the same goes for when you agree to EA's TOS. 

    We all get frustrated from time to time but just because you can say a thing does not make it allowable in certain situations.

    Take the high road laugh it off and do not be insulting to others if you do not want the ban-hammer to come down on you, after all it is just a game and we all want to enjoy it.

    The First Amendment only protects your speech from government censorship. It applies to federal, state, and local government actors. This is a broad category that includes not only lawmakers and elected officials, but also public schools and universities, courts, and police officers.

    In other words the game is not a government setting. Freedom of speech is clear on how and when it can be used. Just don't speak to randoms if this will be an issue.

    Hey folks,

    I am going to lock this thread before it goes off the rails. 

    Account bans are not something that can be handled over Answers HQ. You'll need to contact the Terms of Service team so they can review your account. They will determine if the ban can be overturned. 

    For more details on how to set up a case with them check out the EA Help website
