Is There No Moderation Here?

I swear half of the posts here are inane ramblings, calling out EA, other players, or random bs.  It's like half the people posting are under the age of 14. 

Sample posts I see every week

"This game is trash"

"EA Sucks"

"I'm done this year"

"x content was the last straw"

"x player is cheating/scammed me"

I'm all for expressing opinions, but if your post isn't a meaningful discussion it shouldn't be posted.

your opinion/rant is complaining about other peoples opinions/rants which is a bit hypocritical but sure.

Right! Guy had a great year. He continues to silence naysayers and outperform expectations by working his ass off. While still getting little to no respect. Sounds just about right for the city I grew up in. It was nice having a steady flow of Lions cards as well. Until we shit a brick in the playoffs.

Haha - Toledo guy here. I was looking up his draft performance yesterday trying to see if it‘s possible he could get a draft card - unlikely. He was number 1 pick but those draft numbers are Brady - esque. Maybe an AKA Icon card?

Eh, it's a public message board. People need a place to vent whether it's good or bad.

So I'm going to weigh in a bit. There is line between moderation and censorship. And it's very grey at times.

• "This game is trash" - This is an opinion and can be expressed if people choose to.
• "EA Sucks" - This is also an opinion. And while in the grey area, we tend to lean on the side of not censoring it unless it's spammed, goes beyond this, etc.
• "I'm done this year" - Nothing wrong with this post
• "x content was the last straw" - Again, nothing wrong with this
• "x player is cheating/scammed me" - This we do no allow here 

Your frustration seems not to be with the moderation, but rather with tone and negativity. While we wish every post was positive, we're not going to moderate things that are negative.  I would remind people that this is a game, and if it's not fun, it may be time to play something else. And constantly complaining on a public web site in that manner likely is not going to affect change. But most of those items don't warrant "moderation".

Amen!!!!!!!! Say it louder for the people in the back. Save your complaints for someone who cares.

It's more so the repeated and low-effort posts clogging up the feed and no way to filter or block them out.  Each generic complaint shouldn't need its own thread. If people want to complain ad nauseam about the same topics there should be a general complaint thread.

The bottom-line is if you don't have anything positive to say, keep it to yourself or contact EA Help. Accepting negative behavior is malarkey

Some(most) of the actions EA has taken have been predatory, cruel, greedy and corrupt. They continue to lie about their pack odds and continually change things behind the scenes without public knowledge. EA sports intentionally switches the location of the points option where the coins used to be just to get people to accidentally buy their packs and it works. They are some of the worst humans in the gaming industry, the least we can do as a player is  acknowledge their actions and have somewhere to talk about it. Sorry not sorry

I think many people know and are aware of it, but it doesn't need several new threads every day addressing it.

You're in the wrong place then man, sorry

Complains about complaing by making a complaint thread. There's new content man. Who cares?

Yeah, hopefully everyone voted for him and we will get a Gibbs card with the TOTY drop.
