It’s because it really got to a point where there was reckless TKing going on, not just a few oopsies on the odd occasion.
People wouldn’t be able to learn what trigger discipline is. It’s counter-intuitive that they can’t disable it in RB. Anyone new to the mode will never learn. Always overheating their guns.
I could understand the banning of intentional TKs but i don’t believe they had 22,000 minor bans and reviewed all of them.

I’d say it’s not that hard to actually gauge intention from the killfeed alone. People should stop being fearful when they know this has become an issue and it genuinely needs fixing.
To gauge that is to say all these bans happened first 2 mins of the match. While some people have stated they have been banned for accidental TKs. So no you won’t guage that from kill feed.
I feel that a chunk were done by the current system. If you teamkilled enough times within a certain period of time, you get banned.
Oh boy, I can’t wait to see if that Sherman over there is American, German, Soviet, Italian, Israeli, Japanese, Swedish, French, British, or Chinese.
Yes you will as the main populace don’t TK… That’s how you know.
Yeah cause missiles don’t go astray in WT.
I would preferred a little more transparency about the people being banned. Not to the point where people know what they can get away with but knowing it isn’t just “oh you TKed doesn’t matter be banned.” But the mods posts put the sentiment of the latter.
One mod mentioned that he checked a few and they were doing around 20 tk a week.
Seems like accidents wont get you banned imo.
20 tks a week would be warranting of a ban but was that 1 of the people with the light bans or the heavy bans?
22,000 people possibly TKing regularly is a lot.

They didnt say. They cant exactly tell us that so i understand. They just said that they checked some people who were complaining on the forum.
Where was this? I must have missed it on the main topic.
Most are probably air rb. Sometimes there are waves of fail squads who either teamkill at take off or get teamkilled.
The short bans are most likely from someone doing a couple teamkills that were 100% on purpose
Yeah, that thread is crazy rn. I want to say between 140-190 replies in. I will try to find it
Edit: was a bit off. 93-94, dont know which reply the counts is refering to.
Yeah i see it now thanks. He looks to be referring to the less than 3,000 group which had longer bans. My question only comes with the 22,000. I guess it would work better for me if they also posted a list with them as well.
I remember seeing a post from Stona referring to a guy who had a short ban and Stona went on to say it doesn’t matter if it was intentional or negligence guy deserved the ban.
One of my favorite things to do in Ground Sim (since it s currently worthless mode otherwise) is to dress up my Italian Stuart in American flag decals and drive behind the enemy and pretend to be on their team. You can drive right up to the enemy and say hello and they’ll be none the wiser.
Works almost every time.
I used to use the m10 panther in sim. Sadly, it only confused my teammates.
Surprised this is still up as a lot of other posts about the same subject have been closed.
It would be quite nice to see the parameters and criteria they use to arrive at a ban, but as normal it will be hidden behind a wall of ’ if people know they will abuse it’ flannel.
I expect the system has little human input and is automated as of course those systems are fully programmed for unexpected events and nuances.
