EA has told Kotaku that it won’t be banning Spore accounts of forum posters discussing the highly publicised DRM in the title.

Earlier this week moderating staff on the game’s official message boards threatened to ban the Spore game accounts of rule-breaking members, but EA has said these threats came from volunteers and not EA staff.

“These comments are absolutely not true or in-line with EA’s moderation policy,” an EA spokesperson told Kotaku. “They were made by an over-zealous community volunteer who does not work for EA.”

“Anyone who looks at the boards will clearly see that DRM and other issues are freely discussed on the Spore forums, alongside other topics about the game,” continued the statement.
