Instead of a perma-ban, this should have only have been a 1 year ban... After all, he'd be legitimately 13 after a year. |

Hey look, another person trolling SWTOR got himself banned on purpose. Will /v/ ever get bored of this.
It wasn't hard to find this users name and search through his posting history. Two things became apparent on doing so. The first being he no longer wanted to play SWTOR/disliked it. The second was that he is a '4ch'er. (I'd use different words here but I'm certain they'd get me introuble)
Anyone knowing the importance of my last point knows exactly what I'm talking about and why it's so meaningful.
At any rate, thanks for the lulz. As I see it, SWTOR banned you for trolling, they just don't know it. XD The double joke in this tickles me in a way that makes me smile and laugh.
We really need separate forums for every newly launched game. There can be the anti-<MMO> one and there can be the 'what general discussion should be' one. All the lamenting can happen together where each can find solace in like minded can't-move-on-ers leaving the rest of us to actually move forward and discuss meaningful and relevant topics. |

Originally posted by SpottyGekko he responded to another post with a meme of the same value as "arrow to the knee", so bw's reaction is as realistic as if they've called an ambulance and sent it out to someone who posted "i used to play swtor, but then i took an arrow to the knee..."
for reference to some who didn't get the meme: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=I%27m%2012%20years%20old%20and%20what%20is%20this%3F 12. we've all been there. |

Originally posted by Deivos You seriously dont believe this do you? I do believe you are the misinformed one. Thats like me saying while I'm at work I am only in a paticular department and I do not represent the company as a whole. What utter bullshit. YOU DAMN WELL DO REPRESENT THE COMPANY AS A WHOLE. To say otherwise is simply misinformed. Its the same reason why social media such as facebook and twitter are checked by companies now when they are looking to hire someone. If they dont like what they see they wont hire you. Why? Because every single employee as an individual represents the company. You may not like it or agree with it but it is a fact regardless. |

Originally posted by xenogias Whle its true that people say that, only the ignorant actually believe it. If I get bad service one time at an Outback Im not going to sit there and say 'Im never going to an outback again because I had shitty servce one time'. And you really cant expect Bioware to school its employees on outdated memes, can you? The employee did nothing wrong. People are freaking over a perma ban, but its not like they wont lift it if he proves his age. |

This is absurd. People defending the mods is even more absurd. |

Come on people... "i'm 12 and what is this" is used SO OFTEN. Its a joke. An internet meme that the OP has already mentioned. Yes, MODS are not expected to know every internet meme out there, or any at all but...come on MODs, major fail... they should only be worried about the age of the person paying for the account. Done. |

Originally posted by Jason2444 I do have to say that this was the dumbest ban i've seen yet. I also have to say has ANYONE at bioware 1: ever played an mmo, ever? 2: Ever used the interweb for anything other then googling code because even I knew that meme at my age and somehow they took him seriously, really bioware? Really? |

Originally posted by teakbois I'm not even commenting on the ban. I think the ban is alittle silly but I also know rules are rules. As to me being ignorant I think you need to look in the mirror. If you dont think companies actually check social media sites you really have no clue what goes on when hiring employees. Maybe not for your typical factory or office job. But it DOES happen. There are even positions that temporary services check things like that. How do I know? Because that was my job for a short period of time. Yup, thats right. I got PAID to go online, type in a persons name and then fill out a report on what I found. Again, this generally only happens for jobs where a person is in the public representing the the company. As to the outback thing I'm with you. One bad experience will not keep me from going to outback again. However not everyone is like you and me. Just because WE would go back doesnt mean the other 20 people that waitress pissed off would go back. I'll use my parents as an example. They where treated horribly by someone at best buy a few years back. They have not and will never go back to Best Buy again. Just like there are people out there who will never buy another product that has EA attached to it in any way, even if they are just the publisher, simply because they backed SOPA. |

While quite funny, i think that posting a vid showying you have cheat engine installed and on your mostly used programs isn't smart :) P.S. to people who dont know what cheat engine is, CE is a real time debugging, memory injection, and dissasembling tool aimed at manipulating / reversed engineering games... Most commonly used to creat "cheats" AKA trainers, but can also be used for various other purposes inlcuding cheating in online games. He knows what firebug is, he knows how to use cheat engine, to fake that video wont be that hard heck configuring IE to work with a proxy like fiddler and creating a script that will load a modified page isn't really hard... BTW the only reason why i some what belive it, it's because it's the stupidest thing i've seen since a jpg name on CNN of JW boosh a couple years ago was named baboon.jpg....

I think everyone should just post on the SWTOR forums, "I'm 14 and what is this." The new internet meme has been created thanks to Bioware CS. |

I can't stop laughing at all the obvious biodrones who are hopping into this thread to defend this like its a proper, valid ban. I mean honestly, there are so many ways he could have verified his age, the fact is that Bioware's hubris has become ungodly ridiculous and this was an example of it. On a side comparison, lets be honest, this is an exact example of the type of behaviour that people are worried about with the government, normally referred to as "big brother". They basically had a computer somewhere scanning posts, saw that it said "i'm a 12 year old" and then insta banned him without having it actually read by a person who could see that it was an obvious use of a well known meme. "The surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct him to hold in higher esteem those who think alike than those who think differently." - Friedrich Nietzsche |

You trolled, you got banned (I am sure that you already had strikes on your account if your posting history is any indication). You represented that you were under the listed age to be able to use this product under the EULA/TOS, you were banned. Either way they were well within their rights to enforce their TOS... I have no pity for you and no Bioware/EA did nothing wrong here. Learn your life lesson and move on. ------------------------- |

Why should they waste their time checking his age? The other night at a bar during a football game the owner had told people it was setup for fans of one team. He did not want other people there wearing other team gear because he was being sponsored. Someone came in wear a different team...thought it was all funny and even had another shirt to wear. Owner kicked him out and tresspassed him from the property. Private groups do not have to verify or try to understand your joke. They set rules and if there are enough people that "Mr. Funny" will not be missed then kick him. His anger and venom will be a memory in a few day and eveyone that wants to try the game or is playing the game will continue on. |
