• Never insult another member of the community

• Respect other community members, whether they agree with you or not

• Flag, don't fight - use the "flag" feature to report posts to our team if you see someone breaking the rules – don't respond to them!

• Make constructive, on-topic posts that add to the discussion

We'll be working hard to keep the forums a good place for everyone. Our job is to review player reports, help keep the forums organized, provide the community with important information, and always direct players towards helpful information.

Following these guidelines will ensure a great community experience for everyone. Note that violating the rules can lead to infractions and eventually to suspensions of your posting privileges.

I’ve been banned from posting on the Community Forums – What do I do?
Take a break, go for a walk, play some Mirror's Edge Catalyst – it’s not a big deal. We’re not mad at you, you’re not in trouble – you just need a break. Do not post or complain about your ban. This will result in an extension of your ban. Temporary bans are not subject to appeal. If you feel that you have been long-termed banned incorrectly please contact us at help.ea.com or submit an email to accountdisputes@ea.com.

Being temporarily banned from posting on the Mirror's Edge Catalyst forums means that you have broken the rules of the forum or have not been participating in a constructive fashion.
