Tanitha: "Bannable offense" is a debatable term, its actually a minor offense which usually results in a warning.
Depending on the situation it can incur a small short forum mute.
Unlike most other games, forum offenses "usually" don't receive any game sanctions at all.
Forum sanctions are "usually" separate to game sanctions, however we can place game sanctions for forum offenses when needed.

Tanitha: Probably true, however not relevant in this case. 90% of the rulings/procedures for the NA / EU /SEA servers were written by NA office staff.

Tanitha: You are very welcome.
Enjoy your stay.

Thanks again for the suggestions.

Tanitha: Dear OP.
Please do not use clan artwork made by other clans.
Dear Repliers
No replies are permitted within a clan recruiting thread that are not related to joining the clan.
Please do not off topic post in future. This dispute should have been handle via support, or via pm's, but not within this recruiting thread.
Closing the thread since the issue is now resolved, and this thread is derailed.

Have fun
/Tan.

Tanitha: Closing for replacement at clan leaders request.

GeneralDirection:

Tanitha: Yes a few days.

Tanitha: It should close early to mid next week.
/Tan

Tanitha: Thanks for your feedback points, however to correct this point the games population is not dropping.
The OP's quoted 40k online numbers are not accurate.

Tanitha: Thanks, they sounds like great suggestions.

GeneralDirection: No. We weren't able to get the feature finished in time for 7.5, but it's something we're working on right now.

lord_farquad: If this is occurring then as with all such incidences please follow the procedures outlined in the "Disputes" section of the rules.

lord_farquad: We have not done away with first to 3, simply trying first to 2 as there were some who preferred it.

GeneralDirection: The BatChat is not going on sale because it is effectively not a tier 9 vehicle anymore. Once 7.5 releases it is a tier 10.

GeneralDirection: There will only be a flood of tier 10 mediums and TDs initially, because they are new. Everyone likes to try out new toys. But at some point, the general populace will go back to playing a mix of vehicles. It happens that way any time new vehicle content is introduced.

GeneralDirection: This special will be over before 7.5 is released on the NA cluster.

GeneralDirection: Or we were just sleeping?

GeneralDirection: Only your vehicle crew will earn double experience, not the tank itself.

Mugsy_: Hey Everyone, thank you for your continued suggestions and well conceived ideas. ~ Mugsy_

Vallter: Nope, we do not want to add any human like figures to the battlefield due to many reasons. The most important of them - it would close the game for many players due to age ratings raise
