It would help if the petition did not have six or seven typographical errors.

A (very) quick revision:

"EA now recognizes paysites as a problem, but we want them to actually take action against them.

Paysites have broken so many rules, bullied so many people, profited off of other people's hard work, even broken laws. They were always protected, and they always covered themselves by saying 'EA is okay with it, so we can do what we want'.

Well, EA is NOT okay with it. And it's time for them to do something about it.

If you agree that EA should take action against (and/or disallow the existence of)  paysites, please sign this petition. Maybe we can make a difference if EA see what their community (and part of their livelihood) thinks."




And this is fabulous news...I'm off to spread the word.

Cheers! ARR!!

Post by: Ghanima Atreides on 2007 May 21, 21:37:14
Signed as well. I think those comments should be made as public as possible, so that when another paysite owner/person shows up with the excuse that what they're doing is legal, they can be shown the light at the click of a button ;)

Someone told me that nicknames don't count on petitions, so I signed my real name and checked anonymous. If I would have put my nickname Darkangel would know who I am. :P

If nicknames don't work the petition site isn't doing a very good job letting us know  :(

Messege: I found this: http://www.noukiesims2.net/ I thought it was interesting. It says EA is finally doing something about paysites.


and then see what happens.  :lol:  :lol:

Great minds think alike. I would have but I got worried about them having all my paypal info and decided against it. If I had never paid for a sub (long time ago), I would be posting it right now. Just to watch them scramble to delete it. LOL

Your "news" from EA

With respect to your thread, "Oh lookie! Some interesting news :-)", any such "news" is currently hearsay and rumour. Until such time as EA makes an official announcement about this subject, these rumours are not welcome on the forums.

Continued postings about this subject will lead to your account being placed on probation.

From what I've heard, online petitions are as useless as a cake made of poo. I'll sign it though, just in case.

I think Maddox kind of proved that when he signed the petition someone started to get himself thrown off the Internet.  :lol:

Cakes made of poo can be useful.  You can put them in your abusive husband's lunch.

Oh... yeah. Cake made of... cardboard? Anyway, concidering the fact that you seem to be able to sign the same petition countless of times without any effort, anyone could just argue that it's not worth anything.

Maddox is made of pure win, by the way. <3

They could be really really small cakes, and wrapped in plastic to contain the smell?

Also, if EA had any reason to belive those metaphorical cakes were infact only half (or less) as many as they seem, and just the work of cleverly placed mirrors... they could use that as a reason not to take action.

There is no amount of plastic that contains the smell of thousands of cakes of poo - ask Atwa.

Perhaps someone should post a topic about popcorn and it'll eventually make it's way back to talking about paysites.  :lol:

Well, paysites survive on dogma, and to sustain the stupidity, censorship is important...
