I know it is really cool having those involved with the game here, but everyone has to play by the site rules, regardless of who they work for. The admins will be communicating with the EA CM. There was no “misinformation” about it, the action was based on evidence and not just the screenshot that has been previously posted.

What I do have evidence of is an EA employee being directly involved in the removal of posts and enforcement of an EA NDA, both of which are some of the few things that mods are expressly not allowed to do, and which is incredibly inappropriate for a company representative on the site to ask for in the first place, hence the consequences.

This message is an indicator of something seriously inappropriate and should have been reported to the admins at the time, but there was also additional evidence of EA contacting moderators (and not just of this subreddit) and asking for specific removals and NDA enforcement.ĮA has legal options at their disposal to enforce their agreements that do not include violating our user agreement by coercing moderators to do it for them. That said, the admin in question has a different story to tell, the excerpts from which can be found below: As for the other “perks” mentioned, we’re told that those were part of an unrelated exchange. Bribe may be too harsh a word, but even as a “thank you,” it comes across quite inappropriate. The issue here is the placement of the offer, and the fact that a gesture of this sort wouldn’t exactly fly anywhere else. The issue here isn’t whether the mods accepted the offer or not.

It’s also clear that requesting the deletion of said content was in violation of Reddit’s policies as outlined by the admin (Sporkicide) responsible for banning Everett as well as the mods involved.Īlthough Everett did take the time to clear up the confusion about “bribes” in this Reddit post, it’s hardly surprising why his initial message seems inappropriate. It’s evident that the content which Everett was requesting to remove was not “negative” Star Wars Battlefront posts, but posts that break EA’s NDA for the closed alpha.
