Feel free to start one. I am very serious, go ahead and start a sub. I encourage anyone to do this: create a sub, start a youtube channel, start up a stream. You will get a lot of satisfaction out of starting something and watching it grow and seeing people support the thing you have worked very hard on.

As for your notion that we are 'purchased by EA'...lol, I wish. We do this for free because we love Battlefield and supporting this community. But you don't like our rules because we removed something that violated our rules. That's fine, we will get PMs and messages in the coming days and hours telling us that we don't remove enough things. It goes with the gig and we all get that. But know that we offer the same protections on this subreddit to you and u/mudslide0814 here and everyone that we do the CMs and Devs (who do not post here anymore). If you think you can post whatever you want just because they are "public" figures and you're mad about a video game then you are mistaken. That will be removed when we see it every time.

This is a great subreddit and community of users, but it’s very obvious that you mods are biased towards EA. If you can’t say anything critical or personal about “public” EA employees, does those rules applied to other redditors? What’s the downvote system designed for?

All examples of posts directly calling out and in some cases using people's names in calling them out. We allow plenty of things that constructively call out DICE and their perceived or reality misgivings. I have a feeling you are directly referring to a post that was removed this morning RE Jakub blocking a subreddit on twitter:

That kind of post is a struggle for us, it really is. What ultimately makes us make the decision on to keep or remove is the rules. The rule that it was removed under was Rule 2:

- Posts must be directly relate to BF V - yup, we are good there

- Do not personally attack other users (Yeah, borderline but close), do not 'name and shame' (for sure a name and shame..strike 1), without sufficient evidence (There was not..strike 2) backing up your claim. Reddit isn't your personal Army. (Strike 3...the ONLY reason you post all those screencaps...vague as they were would be to start a targeted post towards someone or something).

So:

1.) That post provided 0 evidence that Jakub blocked the user at all. Some screencaps with blacked out names and a screencap with a generic 'YOU ARE BLOCKED' on Twitter.

2.) It directly called out two people (who work for DICE and are very involved with the BF Community both here and on Twitter) but provided no case for calling them out besides the OP assumptions about them and what they are or are not doing to help him.

3.) Which leads me to conclude that his sole purpose for posting that here was to get folks riled up again at the CMs for reasons that could not be proven in his post.

Slam dunk, will remove every time. I know we have people here that wish we would go by the upvote/downvote buttons only...and for a time that is what we did but those days are over. There is so much nonsense on this sub right now that y'all don't see. Our automod has gone from a few scrips to the size of a freaking firewall script in the past year to help filter out posts/comments that break reddit and our rules.

I will finish this by saying: If that SAME post was made and it was u/HACCAHO who blocked that OP and it was the same circumstances and evidence it would have been removed as well. That post being removed had almost nothing to do with it being targeted towards a DICE employee rather it was us enforcing the rules as they are written. You might not agree with that, but it is the truth.
