My EA account got a perma ban. How can I get another serial code to re-register?

That's EA for you. Even in customer support your probably not even going to get a real response.

@Timnk OMG THATS PHOTOSHOPPED!!!!Ashleigh34

Yeah, I thought the picture of the horse was real at first too.

make a brand new EA account, buy game on new account. nutcrackr

So your forum account and gaming accounts are linked resulting in a ban of both? Ewww!MythPro1

This kind of thing has been happening for nearly a year now and EA do not seem all that willing to change it :-

To be honest if you must use EA products then do yourself a favour and stay well away from all Official EA sanctioned forums (including forums set up for specific games). There is even one incident where a user DID NOT break any of the forum rules but found himself banned and cut off from all his games simply because another user quoted his name in an offensive post. So don't think you are safe because you will "play by the rules" you can easily get caught up and banned through no fault of your own.

i got banned for posting inappropriate pics on ts3 forums. i can still re-register without a serial code. but then, i wont be able to access the store and forums. do i have to spend another 40 bucks to get a serial code?Ashleigh34

You shouldn't have been dumb enough to post inappropriate pics on their site. I say you deserve it.

Maybe you shouldn't have gotten banned. :lol:

EA doesn't ban you for "just" posting inappropriate pics, you'd have to be a complete ****** to get a ban and frankly, the way you're talking about this gives me just that impression. It's a myth people, what you're reading on the internet...EA staff doesn't go "uh lulz, moderation, meh let's make it perma ban", believe it or not, GS is waaaaaay more strict than the EA forums, if EA would give moderations like on GS, they wouldn't have a online community, same as Blizzard, if they'd be so strict 99.9% of the ones spamming their forums would be gone (trolls, leet wannabes, etc), thank God both EA and Blizzard permanently ban both your forum account and games, there's too much stupidity in this world.

Where is your evidence to support this claim that these bans are a "myth" ? The bans have been reported on a very reputable website and EA themselves have not sought to clarify that these bans haven't happened. I would have thought it would've been in EA's interest to state that the bans that sites such as RPS are reporting are myths. You don't even need to post inappropriate pics to get banned, there is one user that was banned for posting a "commercial" link to a website. This link is actually in an EA FAQ but that didn't stop EA from banning them. Another user was mistakenly banned when his name was quoted in an offensive post (moderators make mistakes they are only human) however that person is now unable to play his purchased games because he has no way to reverse the ban and EA provide no mechanism to contest bannings.

I really find it shocking that there are people actually supporting game companies banning users from their purchased games. I totally agree if you are an idiot on the forums and disturb other users then you should be banned from the forums but you should not lose access to games you PAID for. If you act like an idiot in multiplayer then naturally you should be removed from that part of the game to prevent you disturbing other users but you should not be banned from the single player game that you PAID for.

In your post it seemed that Blizzard bans you from both games if they ban you from forums.

Can't comment about WoW since I never got suspended nor banned when I played that game.

Really? People deserve to lose access to their games because of something posted on a message board? Really?

They agreed to the terms of use. So yes.shakmaster13

Ignoring for a moment the dubious legality of the terms what about the incident where a user DID NOT break the terms of service but he was banned from the forums because another user quoted his name in an offensive post ? The banned user (that did nothing wrong) can no longer access any of the EA games he paid for.

Absolutely no one should be behind this practice EA is pulling, it is wrong on so many levels and just because they try and make it "legally right" by shoving it in the terms of service does not make it right.

You mean the Terms of Use you have to agree to in order to play the game you already purchased?

This is one of the problems of digital download owned by publishers, and why I hope it doesn't become rampant. It gives publishers way too much power over customers. If someone breaks rules on the forums, they should be banned from the forums but not the game. Likewise, if they cheat or hack in multiplayer, they should be banned from multiplayer but not single player. The punishment should be based on the offense, not just banning the whole account and losing all games.

EA does and its in the EULA that they can and will ban, perma ban your account with the games.

TS3 forums are being used by chrildren and if offensive pics are used then they can perma ban your account which is attached to your games. To post on their forums you have to register a game.

My account was temp banned for trash talking about their software.
