If you think there aren’t many chat rules then i highly recommend you read through the rules, TOS and code of conduct again.
TLDR (although i still recommend reading through them):

nah i got lot a lot of time (for the thing I didn’t do maybe sometime accidently TK but i always apologies to them) it just a warning that you’ve got report if you didn’t do it you don’t need to worry about.

This is only a recent (and welcome) addition to the game, so you mustn’t have been here for long, friend. So I didn’t “out” myself as you said. I wish it had been available at the time.
The log is certainly a step up for reporting team killers as it is easier to verify. They usually think that saying “sorry for teamkill” will exonerate them in some way.
So what Gaijin basically say about team killers is - let them do it. They pay for the repair bills, fine. But the rest of the team still suffers if the system does not kick them after the 2nd or 3rd time they do it. That part is still unresolved.
Have you actually been muted as long as you say?
(Edit - I got muted years back for a day or 2, and when that one happened, it stopped you using radio, and map pings and everything, it was debilitating.)
I’ve played since hot tracks, so not new. I’m just not a pansy and get my feelings hurt and report someone for it.
You must have missed the ban wave that happened 2 months ago:

But you DO seem to be a child. Listen, if I warrant a ban then fair enough but an adult is a better judge of what he does. My feelings are NOT hurt, I can take it. What I can’t take is getting reported for something I didn’t do, because here it leads to consequences (i.e. not being able to communicate with team mates).
Completely false.
Again, if you want details of your own punishment status and reasons for having one (if you do), then you are free to send me a private message.

You know what I did when I got one of those last year?
I laughed
I screenshotted
And then I went about my day not giving it another thought.

But it DOES Necro! I have been reported for something I didn’t do (Foul Language) simply because I am perma chat banned (for over 2 years). How is that completely false.
What if that lead me to having a ban for a day where I could not play? You are on a tight deadline for doing the daily tasks.
Please PM me these details, although I doubt if it will change anything.
That foul language flag in that report may have been from the previous lot and there could be 8 into the passive behaviour.
(At least that’s how it was explained to me)

First of all, you have been “Reported Bombed”, which is a silly waste of time by those doing it. There is a common misperception that you can get a player into trouble or banned by making mass amounts of reports against them. This is completely false. In fact, making false reports is a bannable offense. If you have done nothing wrong, then disregard any such announcement, they are automated and triggered by getting a certain amount of reports against you in certain period of time. Again, if you did nothing wrong, you have nothing to worry about, it’s just players that do not understand how the complaint system even works, and chances are they never even bothered to read the Game Rules in the first place.
As for what you are thinking is “passive behavior”, it is not. Playing the game, trying to stay alive is a valid tactic. Passive Behavior is when a player does nothing at all . . spawns in a tank, never moves the entire game. Spawns in Air RB and never leaves the airfield . . . these actions or inactions can be determined to be passive behavior, nothing else. Example: Say a guy spawns in a tank battle, drives out of spawn and then takes a position behind a rock not all that far from spawn, but has made some actions. He sits there the rest of the game. Is this passive? . . . maybe, maybe not. It is possible they are experiencing connections issues, went afk for personal rl reasons, or even waiting to “make their move”.
Extremely hard to tell in this case and not likely to be acted on all by itself. Repeated behavior of this sort might result in a sanction, but . . . again, very hard to prove wrongdoing, so not very likely.
Point being, it does not matter what the other players in your game might think of how you play, if you are playing the game, being active in any manner, you are not going to get into trouble for “passive behavior” . . . pretty simple.
And both “report bombing” & reports of passive behavior as you describe, are made out of an emotional reaction. Players getting mad because they do not approve of how you are playing the game. That in and of itself is not against the Rules in anyway. As long as you do not break the Rules, it doesn’t matter if other players approve or not.
Hope that explains things some for you, because you have nothing to be angry about, as long as you understand the Game Rules and how the Complaint system works. If you have any other questions or need further clarification, contact a Game Master directly here in the Forum

Any consequences as yet? Heaven help you if you run it to a 4 ship squadron intent on tking! If you try to take them on that’s 4 strikes against you. Doesn’t happen very often but it does happen.
No. Nothing came of it, I was report bombed by some squad I annoyed in a naval battle.
So you are saying I may have sworn at someone a few times just before I was banned, and have picked up a few more reports in the last 2 years to get the message? Maybe. Not sure how the system works exactly. If it hangs on to reports for a long period of time and then fires them at you when you collect 10 then that’s a very unforgiving system isn’t it?
Again, if you want the details, send me a message, i cannot post rule breaking chat logs publicly.
We absolutely do NOT punish just for having reports against you. We punish for what those reports contain.
Would NEVER happen unless you actually broke the rules. players can send hundreds of reports against you and nothing would happen to you if you did nothing wrong.

Thanks for your comments Necro. You seem to be an honest and fair moderator. TBH us joystick/pad users took a lot of flak from the mousers back in the day because they didn’t like what we said (and we weren’t really protected by the mods - a lot left).
This is a much better game with a pad or stick (most are too lazy to even try), but it’s very unfair gameplay wise, and, yes it can drive you into a rage because of it (but I don’t want to fly a UFO).
No, that is not possible, the automated msg is triggered by “X” amount of reports in “X” amount of time, and it is a very short time period, not an accumulation over any long length of time, it is all “recent” . . and it is just a warning, not a threat.
And automated, not triggered by the GM’s or any person.
I thought so, too. Good ol’ naval battles :D
