yep this was all it takes to get a ban yet others can and do get away with almost anything unless i see it then i take it directly to the company that dose do something about it seeing that the favoritism allows certain others to post very vulgar things and they get NO BAN and no warning points
yes this was what i had posted yet i and many others have seen other posts and devs on the posts and mods and not one action was taken against the poster untill i spoke up against the cursing , so yeah there is favoritism most definitely and what i posted was not at all anywhere near bad, it was just humor , ya know funny , haha, or i guess many at wargamer have no humor

Tater, this is alot like the NF forums where we used to get banned for saying/doing/posting things we found funny in OUR culture. While they are funny to us North Americans, especially people who have had military service like myself and end up with a very twisted sense of humor because of it, other cultures or nationalities find them offensive.

A perfect example, and my opologies if this offends!!!!, is calling a Japanese person a "Jap". Us lazy North Americans dont want to say the whole word so we shorten it up. However, Japanese people find our shortened version very offensive, same goes for the shortened version of Nipon. Again, we aren't trying to offend, we are just lazy and never pass up an opportunity to mess with the english language.

Tater, your posts are as valid as anyone's, and I appreciate attempts at injecting humor as much (or more) than the next guy.
But dude, we have to work on two things:
1) punctuation (these are periods>..........................Very useful little things.  You can use some of the ones I just gave you.  They help the reader stop, take a breath and digest each idea you present before proceeding to the next.
2) run-on sentences that lack capitals to indicate the start of a thought and also lack any type of proper punctuation other than sixty commas, make it incredibly difficult for readers to grasp and process what it is you are trying to convey and that is why basic sentence structure and paragraphing exists to aid the reader especially when the discussion centers around the finer techical points of tanking and armor capabilities and gun penetration with its impact on damage points in the game

Just want to be able to understand you better, bro.

Here is a prime example of an easily misunderstood cultural joke.

Especially if the cultural group consists of vampires!

Okay, I know, non-constructive post. Bring on the ban.

BTW, what does RO actually mean/stand for?

Read Only status in the forums for given period

And no attempts at comedy or humor or satire of Russia, it's people, history or game personnel is tolerated in any way. You have been warned....

Moar rules.

yay

Just would be nice if certain mods would do there job correctly and without bias, rather then seeing the name and ROing/warning without even looking at dates times and context. Sad when you get a warning for something that was posted 2 months ago and something that NO other mod seemed to mind.

Tan, you need to give a rule book to each and every mod and tell them DO THIS, rather then letting them using there own judgement.

And trust me, its not just me that thinks like this

Just because I'm the curious type; who decides what is offensive and sanctionable, aside from out and out swearing, porn etc which should be acted upon immediately.. Is calling someone a liar, worth a sanction point, is asking if you were dropped or fell and landed on your head as a kid? It seems sanctions handed out by individuals are so subjective, what one person sees as acceptable may well be totally inappropriate and upsetting to another. Who moderates the moderators?

Just my 2 cents worth..

Strange that We should be on the same side of an argument with Tolos, but ... We agree with this quote and the next ...

We, too, have noticed uneven enforcement on the Forum, ranging from zero-zero-tolerance to non-punitive jovial chidings for similar commentary by different posters, sometimes in the same thread. A few posters have received warning points for simply agreeing with a particular poster without having written additional commentary or flame.

We are also aware that moderators are trained, and they do posses a set of universal guidances - those guidances are just not applied universally, likely due to the individual personalities involved, which allows the broad range of selective enforcement or "officer discretion". There is no easy answer here, excepting across-the-board enforcement of zero-tolerance, which would require more moderators on duty, and would stifle the Forums considerably.

The earlier reference to "zero-zero-tolerance" was not a typo; it was deliberately used as a homily for "overzealous".

Nobody moderates the moderators.  Actually asking that queastion is against the EULA.  You will be told to submit a pointless support ticket, and if you ask who moderates the support group you will be told to submit a support ticket.  I'm surprised this thread isn't locked already for the amount of queastins and criticisms y'all have latex down here.

I know I am late on this topic, but recently came back to the game.  I had one warning point for I know not what since it happend while I was taking a long break and the last one for something that made no sense.

So my question would be, is there an appeal system?   I am going to hit 45 next month and I have to say in my experience, how some these warnings, etc has been done is generally found as unacceptable behavior in RL.  So is there an appeal for these situations?

My warning point was because my signature was in red. No joke.

I have 3 warning points ... how do I find out what there from?

NVM you just click it.
