In a story that sounds reminiscent of earlier threats, a community moderator on the EA message boards is once again pulling out the ban threat card.
This time, an intended policy change states that if your account is banned on the forums, you will thus be banned in any game you have purchased that is tied to your EA account.
Here's "EA Apoc" laying it all out on the line to the community:

Well, its actually going to be a bit nastier for those who get banned.
Your forum account will be directly tied to your Master EA Account, so if we ban you on the forums, you would be banned from the game as well since the login process is the same. And you'd actually be banned from your other EA games as well since its all tied to your account. So if you have SPORE and Red Alert 3 and you get yourself banned on our forums or in-game, well, your SPORE account would be banned to. It's all one in the same, so I strongly reccommend people play nice and act mature.
All in all, we expect people to come on here and abide by our ToS. We hate banning people, it makes our lives a lot tougher, but its what we have to do.
Those banned will stay banned, but like most other internet services, its not that hard to create a new fake e-mail account. However, its a lot harder to get a new serial key =)
This has already sparked a huge wave of outrage across the Internet. People have threatened to stop purchasing titles released by EA, others have already threatened legal action if this policy actually goes into affect.Your forum account will be directly tied to your Master EA Account, so if we ban you on the forums, you would be banned from the game as well since the login process is the same.
