EA Forums - Banner

Deleted "regular" Posts

Actually, to give you an alternative point of view I think the regulars felt chased out of the forum as much as anything else. There had been a lot of complaints about there being not enough focus on the show or game and too much derailing. As a result a thread was created for off-topic banter and then there was the accusation that this was cliquey and excluded others and so ultimately a new forum was formed. I might be oversimplifying it a bit and there's wrongs on both sides and not least in the petty arguments that have broken out since.

But if we are going to make this forum better. It will need lurkers like yourself to make more comments and create new threads. That's what this forum now needs. Arguing about who did what is getting old fast so let's just move on.

    I was thinking the same thing, two people are banned for quoting an "offensive image" and calerock got banned when he did basically ask for it =\

    It has kinda been blown out of proportion, I am pretty new to these forums and enjoyed the regulars comments and pics as they tend to be helpful and interesting.

    Honestly what I get most out of these forums is simple things, like picture threads and gossip about upcoming updates. I don't feel like I need to sign up to another forum and abandon this one, for little to no purpose.. if the regulars want to have a new place for them to chat, fine. I just don't see why it cant be done here anymore, oh well.

    If simpson and h1 got unbanned, it would "fix" everything. This place clearly isnt the place to post about exploiting glitches so I cant say the same for calerock. But rather than getting simpson and h1 unbanned for quoting, a new forum is created? :shrug:

    I say let those who left let them leave. They will be replaced easily. Lets drop the subject and move on with the forums.

    Agreed - there's not a lot of moderation here. But no one should have felt "chased out" & ran away because EA finally decided to moderate. They were being bad all along & they finally got caught. So they picked up their toys & left. No biggie. Like I said before, in a month, people are gonna say, "H1 WHO?"

    Sorry, but if simpson and h1 got unbanned it would not change anything. Someone else will come and take their place. They do not run the forums. Yes they did do some great posts for people, but again they can be replaced. Someone else will step up and do the same thing.

    To think a small group of people kept these forums running is a farce. All they did is post. I would bet 75% of their posts are complete waist of time. But yes, they did have some great information to those who were searching for it, and for that I tip my hat to them. But that is all I do, I wont put them on a soap box and declare them any type of "god" here.

    I meant "fix" everything as in, the issues that spiraled into creating these new forums.

    The fuss was because apparently people were being banned all over the place, when really it was two people banned for quoting an image and another for posting about exploiting glitches. So if h1 and simpson were to be unbanned, there wold seemingly be no reason or purpose for the new forums.

    These forums here arent bad. Just because two people were kind of unfairly banned for quoting an image doesnt mean a new forum to post on is required and that everyone should jump ship. But whatever really

    I didn't even realize those three had been banned. I miss a lot, apparently. I never real saw H1 or Simpsons do anything to warrant a ban, but I don't know the situation.

    I think the Cale kid you were referring to was here a couple of nights ago and posted a video exploiting a glitch, but I could have my user ID's mixed up. To me, yea, that was probably a deserved ban.

    If EA wants to step up and moderate, I'm happy with that. It'll help out with spam and such, but at the same time the forums are not terribly bad and unruly. There are just hiccups every now and then.

    The way you guys are 'seeing' the forums as separated into groups is odd, why cant you guys just let it be all your doing is spreading more hate and making the forum even less desirable for new players how about actually starting a thread that has something to do with the game? Instead of continuing to rant

    Actually 98% of us have not even tried to register there. (to the new "regular" forums"). So honestly we don't care what they post.

    Who cares about he banning.

    The random deletion of posts and threads is enough to make me limit posting here.

    I've had posts vanish today, so it's still going on.

    I think any mention of it gets it deleted.

    See how long this response stays up.

    Don't listen to all the rumours Matt, everyone is welcome. Just check out a bad examples sigi for the link (great idea by the way, might have to pinch that :wink: )

    And it's not like what is being made out in here by some, just a fun place run by some cool people. Your more than welcome

    I've been a lurker for many months and haven't posted much because 1) I usually come on here to find out what's going to happen next in my tasks, 2) to see if others are experiencing the same glitch I am (yep- always), 3) because I have a question about the game- I use the search feature and have always found the answer, or 4) because i need more friends for my town. So, I have found little reason to post. I do explore around sometimes to read the banter (sometimes I have found it shockingly rude, but most if the time it's just been fairly entertaining with a friendly/funny air).

    I am amazed about all the drama that is going on. This forum is seriously CRAZY dramatic! So anyway- just thought I'd say "hi". I don't think I'm able to have an avatar or a sig. Probably ok since I've never made an avatar in my life.

    Well i agree .. Is easy to replace both, simpson and h1.. Two of real contributors to this forum... They are not like those "intelligent" people who just know how to create repetitive and massive " add me threads", "what did you done with ..." And " im stuck on max level".

    Everybody talks too much but i wanna see how many replacements has capacity to spend time, like simpson did, and create guides to help another, with the complexity that he did...

    Lurkers are the most who uses what he did and never have courage to say on thank you...

    How many had contribute here to help simpson to update his guide?

    Many here are just spoiled and lazy , and have no capacity to use a search tool. Just a bunch of incompetent people, trying to experiment 15 seconds of fame, because the real regular are not here to took your attencion...

    Just a bunch of stupid kids...

    And if any of you thinks to complaim my english, well i can write in brazilian portuguese, once you should understand better...

    Bunch of losers trying to defend EA, for a mistake that they commited...

    That's why it's time for everyone to move on and use this forum for what it is.
    There has been much discussion I have seems in a few threads of unjust or rightfully just of what things have been done or said and it's getting tiresome to see.

    Lol. You are taking what I said out of context. I meant chased out by other forum members. I don't think I mentioned EA or the bans even once.

    And when I say other forum members, I mean a few people like yourself who haven't really contributed anything (I believe this is the only thread you have ever purposely started) but now feel like making a big fuss.

    Anyway, as I say, this is now just plain boring. I'm not contributing any more myself to the argument. I will just wait until someone like you actually starts a thread on the game, the show or is off topic. Something that is actually worthwhile.
