Message about the SirFoch incident

Njial: Hello all, we wanted to share an update with you on the recent
incident with SirFoch "We at Wargaming have further reviewed
the incident of last Friday involving SirFoch and his “Chrysler K
GF rant” video, and we believe we could have handled the situation
better. We strongly support our players’, including our Community
Contributors’, right to speak critically about us and our games. At
the same time, in the case of our Community Contributors, we ask
that negative comments be made in a reasonably respectful,
constructive manner, and SirFoch’s video didn’t do that. In turn,
we acted too quickly when we threatened to have YouTube remove
SirFoch’s video through a copyright infringement complaint. We have
apologized to SirFoch for making that threat, and we are continuing
our conversation with him on next steps. We’re committed to
doing a better job on this front. We’re going to improve the
way we communicate with our Community Contributors, and as part of
that effort we will work with them on more detailed, specific
guidelines for our Community Contributors to help ensure incidents
like this don’t happen again. We’ll also be implementing a more
thorough internal review process of our own potential actions which
will be used in any future case where we have concerns that a
Community Contributor has crossed the line in the language they
use. We love our players and our contributors – even the ones
who don’t always love us – and we are committed to using this case
to grow and improve."
