I guess the forum system here must detect An X amount of played battles in X amount of time in order to post here regardless of how many battles you actually played or what your trust level is.
This system is definitely bugged, once I got blocked from sending posts after just a few days of inactivity while I had been tryharding for monthes before. And when I say a few days, I mean 3-4 days not weeks

It was the same on the old forum
Never seen that, cause probably the old forum didn’t have bugs like this…

No it isn’t you need to actively play the game for you to be able to post on the forum
You need a few games every week to be able to post stuff
Not sure if this is the issue…as i never realized some player would not play PVP.
You can try to play a few (three?) PVP battles…a see if the issue goes away. If this is it, i am not sure if bug or feature…

Assaults and custom battles don’t count, but the PVE helo modes do. Clicking on your post’s name will popup what the forum thinks you played in the past week.
Probably done to prevent banned/disgruntled users from post bombing the forum and comments.
Not a Bug.

Like I said, it was the same system in the old forum.
If you didn’t play at least three matches within the last 1-2 weeks, you were not allowed to post. I have seen that a lot.
I’m fine with it. There are plenty of people who would just jump on spamming the forums with no real intention of playing the game. Just like on r/Warthunder.
Kind of an annoying feature, been playing for a decent amount of time, on the forum nearly everyday reading not often posting, but god forbid I travel for work for a week and suddenly Im not longer allowed to contribute.
A week is a bit too short

I wish it counted sim games multiple times.
When 1 game lasts 60 to 90 minutes there are weeks you can only play 1 full match and then be unable to post. Feels kinda unfair given arb players have like 5 mins per match at high tiers - you play some 4 times as much (60/15) at very least and get less “credit.”
One “battle” per useful action popup would feel fair (ergo once per 15 minutes if you dont die)

There were some areas on the old forum where you didn’t need it. I can confirm with PointyPuffin that some areas were the same as now. Though the old forum definitely had some areas, like the bug report section, didn’t require battle count.

If i could get some clarification, how does it define inactive?
when i was blocked from commenting, i didnt play for about a week though i played many games prior to my break.
Is it 15 games within 24hr or something?
I honestly don’t know. Sometimes it also doesn’t update as it should but fixes itself after just one more match played.
The Forum Moderators might perhaps know more.

Actually this was introduced shortly after WT ground forces closed beta turned to open beta. The main reason was to stop trolls from the other tank game (allegedly hired by devs of that other tank game as described by one of their former employee) spamming the forum with BS like "WT bad, the other tank game good!
Yep, bug reports, community tech support and pre-moderated sections…
I feel like this system could be revised, as a level 100 player with 2000+ hours, I shouldn’t have to play the game to post on the forums. Maybe it should be enforced for new players and once every major update for veteran players to give a fair assessment of the game.

Level 100’s should be allowed to post freely

Hey,
It’s not changed since 2015, it’s usually 3 games like the statement you provided, Then you are able to post. If it still encounters issues relogging or refreshing your account usually fixes it.
If you played ‘x amount’ of games before your 1 week break then the system most likely refreshed during that period. Which is why you was not able to comment after assuming you played 15 battles to be able to post for a month.
