Reputation System Trial

pizzastorm: Hello Tankers! In our recent forum survey, we asked players how they felt about the forum reputation system. Across all of the Wargaming NA products,  54% either wanted a change, or didn’t feel strongly and would be willing to try a change. In a follow-up survey regarding Freedom to Play keys on WoT PC, 62% of players responded specifically that they would be willing to try keeping upvotes, but turning off downvotes for the next 6 months.  Based on your opinions shared in the surveys, we’re going to move forward with that trial across all of our game forums. The forum reputation system has been switched to allow upvotes only. In 6 months, we’ll do another forum experience survey to see whether it’s a change you want to keep permanently. Forum reputation previously accumulated is still there, and all of the existing info remains in the system, should you vote to turn it back on again in the future.  We understand that not everyone will be pleased with the change. We encourage everyone to keep an open mind regarding the change, and in early 2016 we will redo the survey to again gather your feedback on the subject.
