Sigh..
Is this really so weird? They don't like to see advertisements for other games on their forum.
Remember that EA is a business run by suits. Suits rarely have the ability to see past the dollar mark. Off-topic references to non-EA games can only be considered as free advertisements directly competing with EA. And I for one completely understand their dislike for it.
It's not as if they don't allow other games to be mentioned.

Also, signatures suck.

Update: rule got swiftly removed after user protest.

I dunno, I would have used said rule to attempt to promote interest in their really old properties.
They really need to sign a deal with GoG.

Yeah, good opportunity for some System Shock sigs.

Reminds me of the whole 3D Realms thing where they didn't want people talking about when DNF would be released. "We know it's late, you know it's late."
