IPaul72: Hello there Costarring
All I can say is that the red text part was there in the old forum rules when I was a moderator from april last year, but before then I can't really answer.  
Using other colours is ok I think its just best to avoid the Red text. However reading yellow text on a white background is bad (it strains the old eye balls) you wouldn't get a warning for it but no one would know what you were saying  
Different sized fonts is another thing altogether it is ok to use capitals as long as it isn't excessive if you know what I mean. For example writing your whole reply in them as it is considered shouting which can be very rude if it was in person.  

IPaul72: Hello there conductiv
No your not talking nonsense at all, in part I agree. However we have discussed at length this and many idea's brought forward and come up with different solutions.
But at this moment in time this current system seems to be working. If you have any other solutions I would happily put them forward to the moderations manager for you    

IPaul72: Hello there Gremlin182
This I do agree with has I have been in this situation and basically like you say the is catch 22 with it.
1. Ignore never works.
2. If you delete posts you ruin the thread (unless they are deemed very bad and severely break the rules) making the topic nonsence and not conceivable.
3. I would say sometimes an option to close the thread works, This then may stop the arguments getting to a fisty cuffs situation where everyone gets their grandma involved! But to leave the thread in its original position if its not in breach of the forum rules by this I mean off topic,obscenity,profanity ect ect.
4. Most likely option to the one above, Have positive input to the thread and topic this means planting a post and intervening (after all most times all the communities want is a little input and information) even an: Hello would you like a cuppa tea works! This is why both Ectar, iscending and myself love what we do, we get to talk and meet people and most times have great discussions.  

IPaul72: Hello there Cpt_Kawa
I'm sorry my original reply didn't please you  I can tell you're not very keen of me and this is ok (I can't lie it hurts a little but hey!)  
However, lets say If a topic is getting to the point of argument and posts getting nasty where there is profanity and abusive remarks, people threatening each other with their grandma's! You know a proper hand bags at 12 o'clock situation.
I would rather see the topic removed so sometimes it is better to close the (hypothetical) topic before that happens. Now I'm not saying this is the case with the previous topic I'm just saying people don't need to see this behavior on the forums of a family game and this I'm sure you can appreciate.
I will be honest about this remark:
(We all know by now that most probably nothing will ever happen to a mod who was reported for misconduct. Lets be honest here WG policy is: "We do as we are pleased and if an incident, which we don't like isn't covered by some rule we are just going to make one up." Just be honest 1 time. Actually I think before you are posting this kind of answers you just did in here, you shouldn't answer at all.)
You would be surprised what happens when this is the case, when a moderator is reported there is a full investigation into the accused and they are called up to explain themselves. Wargaming takes this very seriously has we as a community team and moderators represent the company and Wargaming take their image very seriously as does any professional company.
I'm not going to explain what happens if they are found to be wrong as that is not my business, that's between them the reported and the accused.
To say moderators makes rules up if they can't find them simply out of order (I'm sorry but its preposterous)
If you have hard evidence that this has happened you need to be in contact with support which then gets in contact with the moderator management.
If support doesn't work and you feel cheated then contact one of your community team for example if your post was in German then you need the German language team.    
Kind Regards all

_Quasar_: Dear all,
Update 8.8 will soon be released to the Public Test. WG EU and Michael Jivetc decided to shed some more light on it.
It will contain lots of changes, which have not been announced in ASAP, which include:
- Changed the rules of ram causer determination. Now the guilt is recognized for the one whose tank has the highest speed at the moment of the ramming encounter.
- Automatic re-login to other periphery (server) implemented – to the one invite to platoon or company was sent from.
- Implemented an option to move the crew members in and out of the damaged tank.
- Implemented new option to switch on the inversion of the reverse moving: now when reversing and pressing the button of turn in certain direction your tank will move in this certain direction, and not the opposite as for disabled inversion.
- For equipment "spall liner" was added the reduced chance of crew contusion: light - 20%, medium - 25%, heavy - 30%, superheavy - 50%.
- Added automatic shooting when one press-and-holding the fire button.
- Added a warning about wrong layout or wrong characters when entering a password for the login window.
We are excited to bring you this new update. Stay tuned, follow the news and check portal regularly. We will be releasing more information gradually.

IPaul72: Hello there Costarring
If you look at this :
4. FORUM ADMINISTRATION and MODERATION
                    
4.4 Warnings
The warnings and official notifications are set off in red, this font color is reserved by Moderators and Administrators. Any other moderators and administrators’ message is considered to be an ordinary one and is equal to a message of any forum member. Once one of a posts has been moderated, users are not permitted to edit the moderators notes placed within the post. Similarly, the impersonation of the administration or moderating team in any way, is not permitted.
I missed it the first time too  
I will have a word with the moderators manager and make sure he informs the moderators about the links not working.
Because if it isn't working for you then it may not be working for others also.
Thanks for informing I will make sure it gets sorted. However you may contact Mr_Kubrick directly if there is something that bugs you lots.
Just bare in mind he is sometimes very busy so it may take him some time to reply  
However as a community team we will try help as much as we can.
Kind Regards

IPaul72: Hello there Sgt_Guffy
I apologise for the forums over the weekend however the moderators are catching up at the moment this weekend has been quite busy for us all.
If you feel you see anything thats bad though please feel free to report it to it can be brought to their attention much more quickly.
I agree Miros is a good contributor to the forums I like many value Miros views on things as we do with a lot of the community.
However the moderators just enforce the forum rules and can't be seen to discriminate between forum users I'm sure you appreciate the value of this, they have rules to follow like we all do.
However I have waffled on enough lets let the topic get back to it original theme  
Kind Regards all

IPaul72: Hello there Costarring
The moderators try to do a difficult job on here I know I used to be one.
However, if a moderator is acting outside the rules this is something we definitely need to know about. The moderator is there to enforce forum rules and not break them.
If you ever feel that a moderator is breaking the rules please see here:
                    
4. FORUM ADMINISTRATION and MODERATION
4.1 Administrators and Community Team
Administrators are Wargaming.net employees.
The administrator status is confirmed by “Group: Administrators” in​sc​ri​ption under the user nickname.
Community Team is presented by "Community Managers" and "Community Coordinators"
4.2 Moderators
Moderators are volunteers of forum administration. Recruited from forum members, the moderators are responsible for maintenance of forum rules.
The moderator status is confirmed by “Group: Moderator” and Senior Moderator in​sc​ri​ption under the user nickname.
4.3 Administrators and Moderators’ powers
Administrators and moderators have right to warn and suspend forum members in the case of forum rules violation. Any measures taken by moderators can be appealed to support via the website (http://support.worldoftanks.eu), in accordance with the established procedure. Measures taken by administration are not subject to appeal. In some cases, which go beyond the forum rules, administrators can warn or suspend particular forum member, even if their actions formally don’t fall under the current prohibitions and restrictions.
4.4 Warnings
The warnings and official notifications are set off in red, this font color is reserved by Moderators and Administrators. Any other moderators and administrators’ message is considered to be an ordinary one and is equal to a message of any forum member. Once one of a posts has been moderated, users are not permitted to edit the moderators notes placed within the post. Similarly, the impersonation of the administration or moderating team in any way, is not permitted.
Depending on the severity of the violated rule, players may be issued with a different amount of warning points:
Educational Warning - 0 warning point
Minor Rule Violation - 1 warning point
Average Rule Violation - 2 warning points
Severe Rule Violation - 3 warning points
The maximum amount of warning points is 10. After reaching this limit, players should expect to receive a full forum suspension.
4.5 Restrictions on Administrators and Moderators
Administrators and support staff being official employee's are representatives of Wargaming.net, are allowed to play but not partake in clans and clan wars.
Moderators however are not official employee's of Wargaming.net and recruited from the player base. They have no special abilities in game to give them any advantage, other than the ability to issue chat bans within the game. So there is no need to limit moderators participation within clans or clan-wars. If users believe a moderator to be biased in any way or acted inappropriately, they are to send the details to support via the website (http://support.worldoftanks.eu) and it shall be looked at and dealt with by administrators if needed.
This is from the forum rules which can be found here.

IPaul72: Hello there gialege
All I can do at the moment is have a word with the moderator responsible and apologise on their behalf.
Kind Regards all

OldFox: Ludzu, beidziet diskutet par moderatora sankcijam, jo par to var dabut vel vienu bridinajumu. Ja jums ir pretenzijas, jus varat visu noskaidrot privata vai aizsutit sudzibu supporta.

OldFox: Pirmkart, nevajag telot nevainibu - visi ir labi sapratusi, ko Jus gribejat teikt "aiz zvaigznitem".
Otrkart, moderesanas reglamenta ir tads termins ka "завуалированный мат", kurs ir aizlegts ta pat, ka atklatais "mats". Protams, Jus to nezinajat, bet likuma nezinasana neatbrivo no atbildibas. Nedriks lamaties foruma, it ipasi ar svesvalodas vardiem.
Treskart, sakara ar to, ka Jus nebijat lietas kursa par sim niansem, par diskusiju ar moderatoru soreiz nesodisu. Turpmak ludzu visus stridigus jautajumus apspriest ar mani caur privatiem zinojumiem.

OldFox: Откуда дровишки?

Ishtara: Herkese tekrardan merhabalar,
Konu hakkında tüm geri bildirimleriniz klan bölümüne iletildi. Şu an resmi bilgi paylaşımı yapamıyorum fakat çok yakın zamanda yeni klan seferleri sistemi açıklanacak. Bazılarınızı sevindirecek değişiklikler olacağını söyleyebilirim ama herkesi memnun etmek tabi ki imkansız olacak.
Konu hakkında hepinizi güncel tutmak adına yazıyorum bu yorumu, seferlerin yeni sistemi açıklandığı zaman tekrar konuşmak üzere.
İyi forumlar
Ishtara

OldFox: Информация имеет очень высокую степень достоверности.

OldFox: Тему почистил, скоро начну зверствовать.

OldFox: Slegts

Decept1on: The freezing time is like this now :

- For an Attacking clan in case of a province capture

http://imageshack.us...4/5554/h1gh.png

- For all other battles and results



This looks weird but it is like that, it will updated on the portal asap, the freezing time might change in an upcoming patch.

Note: Do not see any sign of getting T9 and/or T10 light tanks, it is just filled, it does not mean the tank exists and/or planned ;)

OldFox: Тему почистил. Прошу флудить в Спам-уголке.

OldFox: Тему почистил, наказания раздал. Читаем "Правила ведения рекрут-тем" и не нарушаем их.

OldFox: Уточню, если ответят - возможно, не решили еще, возможно, информация "ДСП". Но все равно рано или поздно эти станет ясно. Вы хотите получить какие-то законные выгоды от обладания данной информацией раньше других или просто любопытство?
