UPDATED (JUNE 2, 2012) Important update to site rules & code of conduct :

Effective immediately we have made a number of changes to the Mass Effect 3 forums and BSN in general. These changes are:

Any new account created after March 1, 2012 will wait 24 hours to be able to post. Some forums will also require game registration to be able to post. Please see the forums descriptions for requirements to post in that forum.

The Mass Effect 3 General Discussion forum will require Mass Effect 3 Game Registration to be able to post. If you are having trouble registering your game, contact an EA Game Advisor for assistance.

Any discussion of Story related content, including the Mass Effect 3 Extended Cut DLC content, must be done in the appropriate Storyline Discussion forum. Threads discussing it outside of Story Discussion forums will be closed or moved to the correct forum. Repeated attempts to discuss Story content outside the Storyline Discussion forums will result in banning.

UPDATED (MAR. 2, 2012):

Effective immediately there is a zero tolerance policy on any form of abuse towards staff, moderators or other Community members.

Anyone posting a personal attack on staff, moderators or other Community members will, at the sole discretion of staff or moderators, be banned from the BioWare Social Network without notice and is no longer welcomed.

We continue to value all of our customers and fans. However participation in the BSN and engaging with staff and like-minded community members is - to be abundantly clear - a privilege, and not a right. Members may continue to discuss and critique our games and products in a civil manner, but any form of discussion targeted at an individual will not be tolerated. New and existing members who cannot adhere to the code of conduct, or maintain a civil demeanor at all times, are encouraged instead to contact customer support for any game related issues they may have.

We have made additional important changes to the Site Rules and Code of Conduct, and recommend that all our users review them by clicking on the link at the top of this notice. By continuing to use this site you are accepting the Site Rules and agree to follow these rules.

Bans and access to game content. Bans preventing access to BioWare Social Network and/or forum post access will not affect your ability to play EA games or downloadable content. Further, any PC code redemptions (for promotional items or DLC) may still be conducted via the Origin client. If you have any trouble accessing/downloading content that came with your game or if you believe your account was banned in error, please contact an EA Game Advisor for assistance.
