I am not a spokesperson for EA (although what I do say can reflect badly on them). As moderators we are not representing EA. I don't expect you to sympathise with me or other moderators over this debacle, not of our making.
I'd like to think we are in a position to influence but to do that you need to be in touch with EA staff regularly and they need to actually listen!
The moderator role is to try to keep order in the forums - to help keep things orderly (hence the attempt to keep only a few threads going on the topic of the current problems) - give help and advice on game issues or questions (such as "what is morale" on forgotten attack servers) - keep the forum as 'child friendly' as possible by either editing or removing expletive laden posts and so on....
Resigning wouldn't help in the slightest. Look how well that works in other fields such as politics!!!
I am not an employee of EA/Envision. The views expressed are my own!
waste of time contacting EA .. they dont care what happens here
why you think i quit ... game nout but a cash cow and you lot still playing are fools feeding EA
yes i quit cant be bothered to give valuable money to games that do not get proper funding , support or decent updates or new content . not the gimmicks like infected camps or the morale and F A servers or the firestorm 8 farce or firestorm 9 farce
As a further comment to all the moderators. This must be very frustrating for you, HOWEVER, I assume you volunteered for these positions as "spokesmen" for EA. As moderators, you are representing EA. Please don't ask us to sympathize with you over the number of complaints against the company you are representing. Perhaps you are in the best position to influence EA by taking a stand with the rest of us.
I've spent the last dollar I will on this game, unless EA comes out with some statement of what is happening and what is being done to address the problem that has been occurring for months.
Perhaps you should all resign as moderators as a sign of protest!
I don't moderate "for" EA I moderate for the Command and Conquer community. When I get sick enough of this community I'll quit, until then I soldier on. I'm not much for protests sorry, EA doesn't really care what I do. I've been doing this for 20 years and despite that my resignation from my completely unpaid job would go pretty unnoticed and accomplish nothing so I fail to see the point of that.
At the end of the day I still have fun playing, I (mostly) have fun coming here, and as long as that continues and my EA/Envision "bosses" don't think my outspokenness outweighs my use I'll just keep right on plugging.
