It was my friend playing! I swear!

The wrong answer once again. You cannot deactivate TK for missiles. Cause its not the missile that kills you, its the explosion.

Correct, it doesnt matter…

I have no idea why people are believing the tk people. It is very rare that someone banned will actually say they broke ToS.

These people are not getting banned for 1 accidental tk 3 months ago.

No, please give us also some credit. We’re not sooo gullible, trust me.

Literally a dozen different players can report someone claiming he said something bad in chat, and nothing will happen if not a single one of the reports contains proof of what the bad guy supposedly said.

Do you think we kinda go “Oh, that guy has been reported a dozen times. I can’t see anything wrong, but he must have done something bad, so I better chat ban him just in case…”

No.

What does happen when we notice such patterns is we take a closer look at such toxic mass reporters, and impose sanctions when we see they’re trying to abuse the reporting system that way.

If you however encounter such a case where report abuse led to an unfair punishment, please let us Senior GM’s) know immediately so we can get behind this and find out what went wrong.

what i am getting at it should matter we the player base have given gaijin so much money to afford manual watcher to ban people so why isn’t there to my knowledge

Wrong.
I can shoot my APFSD at a friendly tank, nothing happens.
I can shoout my HE round at a friendly SPAA and nothing happens, no explosion damage, no overpressure.

I can bomb my own teammates in Ground RB and I can set an Arty strike on them. That is then (usually) intentional, but you also find players who will ignore the orange smoke and drive into a friendly barrage and you’ll have people whose bomb drop is short or long and hit a nearby friendly.

That is part of the game, that is OK from my point of view and if that isn’t OK for anyone then you can use the report button and then someone has to review it.

There are. The automatic ban only kicks in after an exessive amount of tk

And what would happen if all of those players provided actual evidence however that evidence not to you realistically was false. However, someone makes a note that it doesn’t seem right. Will you still immediately proceed or halt for a moment to better investigate to see if it’s fabricated?

I may not be a mod for the WT forums but as a person who moderated before. This is something I had to tackle. It’s always gloomy when beyond the tunnel.

For chat stuff, the report gives a copy of that person’s chat.

Tk reports are manually reviewed via replay

We don’t accept screenshots or videos as proof exactly for that reason.

  • Chat related in-game reports automatically have the complete chat log of the match attached, and can not be manipulated.

  • Gameplay related Server Replay reports can also not be manipulated.

Only proof that is acceptable as basis for a decision on sanctions come from within the system, and are not alterable. So how are they supposed to fabricate evidence?

I know it does. But chat on its own does not give you the bigger picture. Just quarter of the puzzle.

Hey. I was just asking. Don’t try to make me the villain. For asking an honest question.

Well… t
Troll = players choice
Stock grind = just sucks and should be less stupid
Tk = strongly depens on the context, is btw also exploitable
Selling prems and allow people one spawn in tank = go fire that guy from work.
Bad player = context is impirtant, dont allow people to buy prems they are far away from in br would help, also better game explanations and training scenarious would help. And ofc if u continue to play so bad that u drop beöoe 40% winrate you definitly should get a warning for unsporty behaviour. I dont care if they dont know better, its a competitive team pvp game, if u suck and ure not willing to change then u should be at least informed about it.

No worries, and apologies if it came over to you as personally attacking you, that was absolutely not my intention.

It’s a fair question, and I tried to answer it. = )

It’s also a question we see popping up again and again, and as much as we explain how it really is, the perception that such things are possible are deeply rooted in the community.

Wrong? Why is he wrong? My bullpups can kill anythink, friend of foe, the missle dont care. Same with any aa missle.

Btw i dont think the report button will do much.

And yes, tks happen, sometimes as oopsy, sometimes intentional.

Tk is just part of the game, dont blame the meanic for this. Blame the penalty system.

If it would be me, i couldnt care less if someone tks.
Someone tk me, i tk them, easy as that. Its a pvp game… its part of it. But getting a penalty for tks… 90% of the time they are not intentional or need punishment in my opinion, yes the 10% that are left… they need to get a punishment… but most of the times… meh.

To be fair I was pushing you to a wall. Tend to do that when you’re a blunt person.

Do also take into consideration, if they are new or not. These are just questions anyone is bound to ask cause 1 person may ask it but it’s bound to be asked again. Same reason why there are tons of people named Ivan, Sasha, and Greg. Joe Etc.

U are the devil, you meed the be punished! xD

In Ground RB Friendly Fire is deactivated, you can’t shoot a friendly tank or spaa with your main or secondary gun or rocket to kill it. You’d have to intentionally drop artillery on the own team or use CAS to bomb your teammate to kill it.

If you deactivate Friendly Fire in Air RB your guns and missiles would still hit the friendly, but they wouldn’t cause any damage. Hence, an accidental TK by using your weapons would be impossible. You could still use bombs or ram people into the ground, but that would be most likely intentional.

Haha, how right you are!

I remember when I started in WT I even wanted to start chatting with a few of the bots because I ran into them again and again, thinking they were players I happened to run into repeatedly… blush
