Ea makes statement March 2 making paysites ok?

[Scurvy Cat]

Yeah, but coconut's been silent for about 2 weeks now.  Perhaps she's been outed. 

She's been quiet before.  She's got friends on this site, and I figure she'll notify any of them if something happens.

At least with this, we're all spreading the word everywhere we go. 

 

Oh, I know.  And She's probably got a Real Life (tm) somewhere too.

I can't believe I've blown half the day reading this stuff when I've got important and exciting laundry to sort.  It's like watching a train wreck......

LOL! I was just trying to schedule throwing dishes in the dishwasher and getting laundry in the washer so that I could run back and forth and read all of this. I know.... pitiful huh? 

[Scurvy Cat]

Better yet, I've got a therapist's appointment in an hour.  It's going to take work to not spend the hour discussing TSR instead of whatever the issues my insurance company thinks I should be discussing....

[neriana]

then Thoma$$ hacked her account on MTS2, hopping, perhaps that Delphy was somehow as incompetatn and -he- is [he being Thoma$$] and that deleting all her stuff would get rid of the evidence.

Uh, isn't that thoroughly illegal? If Delphy has evidence of it, shouldn't he be able to pin SOMETHING on Thomas?

[Darqstar]

And EA has spoken.

They locked Paleoanth's thread.  Fuckers. 

[Paden]

Just because a thread has been locked, does not mean discussion will not continue. Maybe in another thread started by another intrepid BBS user, perhaps?

[SoggyFox]

I just started another thread, started with 'How is this -not- about the game?'

[Anouk]

Maxoid Hydra has already closed at least 4 threads about the same thing, with the same excuse, not reacting in any way to her customers. I'm thinking her TSR paycheck is mighty big.

I think all Maxoids are recieving paychecks from TSR, that is 100% clear, and if any Maxoid doesn't and still has the community as a priority, they should act now. I doubt it though with how interrested EA is in keeping treating their employees fairly.

Also as a community, we should bypass those that have been bribed and take it to another level. They currently advise, deal with and control all the information that goes from the community to higher EA employees. That is their job. Bypass them.

Edit: All four threads have been completely deleted. Only Paleao's thread remains, for how long, probably 3 minutes.

Edit 2:Paleo's thread is gone as well.  Verrrry classy, TSR-oids.

[minionsRmine]

I still see them. At least a few of them. They're either archiving them or deleting them slowly.

[Anouk]

It's completely fucked up. You'd expect at least some decency from Maxoids towards CUSTOMERS. What the hell is wrong with them, to prefer TSR over anyone else, even if they're recieving money? It's complete lunacy!

[minionsRmine]

Either there's nepotism going on or money's exchanging hands. Or maybe even both.

[Anouk]

I'll say it again, we need a snail mail campaign, and we need this plastered all over the community. It's complete corruption.

[Darqstar]

You know what would be interesting to see?  If someone did a thread defending TSR, and how long that one lasted.  

I can't do it, I've been blasting TSR all day today and its the only account I have.  Otherwise, I'd do it.

Bypass the entire Sims "team".

EA treats their employees like shit, so they get shitty employees. I don't think they treat their head PR people like shit though. Try them, try the lawyers -- and let's get this up on kotaku etc.

I don't think that'd work. For one reason, it would garner a LOT of flags from the folks that had no idea the thread's true intention. Flags = Maxoid attention. I say give it a while, when things die down a little (or wait until after office hours ). EAxoids will be looking for these threads right now and shutting them down in a heartbeat. I'm sure anything with TSR in the title would catch their attention.

ETA: Here's another disgruntled simmer.
Never mind. It's deleted. Hydra's having a fantastic start of the week, I do believe. She's earning every penny.
