Someone was reading the forums and believed all the "TOR IS A FAILURE" threads/posts, so he hit the red button.

It was pretty hilarious, in spite of him repeatedly saying the forum and game bans were deliberate he changed track once shouted at and it became a "system error". Suffice to say old Stans might is no longer what it was and doesnt seem to be a part of BW/EA no more.

Now its just a forum ban and nothing more for forum infractions.
Actually this was EA's ROE for a while when Origin first came out. Basically, at that time, the Origin EULA had implied if you got banned from the EA forums, they had the right to ban your associated Origin account too (which meant any game registered to that Origin account would be banned from connecting online via Origin). Part of this policy was trying to address various BF3 trolls, cheaters, beta players breaking NDA, etc.

This is a lie Sir
Deep in the human unconscious is a pervasive need for a logical universe that makes sense. But the real universe is always one step beyond logic.

You don't know what you're talking about.

This is the first unscheduled downtime I've seen since launch.

That is very very good thing.

Indeed, but once it became a metric crapton of bad press from an overreaction to a pretty minor comment from a customer that policy became a "system error" and everything got rewritten. Quite amusing.
