Major_Rampage: This Friday from 15:00-18:00 PDT Laera and I will be running a Champion Tank Company.  Anyone who faces our team has a chance to win gold.  A win will earn you 600 Gold,  a loss 300 Gold,  and nothing for a draw.  You can watch our stream on:  http://www.twitch.tv/worldoftanks

We had almost a 75% win rate last week,  can anyone stop the roll we have been on?

If you are streaming  on Twitch.tv while you face us,  and send me a link to your stream (with the time stamp of when you faced us) you will earn double the winnings.

Please keep in mind you may need to turn back on Archieve your stream after the last twitch.tv update.

Please note that We will be playing on NA West.

dance210: Looking into the problem, seeing if anything can be done now...
Only the first 2 battles are scheduled at Tier 3. All the other battles have the correct Tier limit. Sorry for the inconvenience and confusion :(

dance210: On the Friday 9/20L Blitz, your team tied in points for second place with another team. The other team defeated you which, according to the draw rules (posted below) resulted in you losing the head-to-head match-up and not being eligible for the gold. Sorry that I do not have better news for you.
Draws at the end of the round will be resolved based on the following criteria (and in the following order):Head to Head
Head to Head Against Group Leader
Opponent Strength - final rank of opponents that have defeated your team
Complete Draw - gold split

Hypnotik: If you don't see it on the official portal, it's not happening. IS-6 isn't mentioned in their articles, nor is it in ours.

Hypnotik: This is a very valid point. CW battles are a very different animal than a pub battle, however the only number integrated into the forum software is the overall battle count.

Hypnotik: Win Rate is not available to us, and it's very unlikely that we'd base posting privileges on it anyway.

Hypnotik: It's my understanding that this was corrected. If you know of someone who is still experiencing this, please have them contact us.

Quemapueblos: Currently we can't restrict players from viewing or posting by anything other than battle count. It might be helpful to raise the minimum number of battles required, so we can start a poll to determine what players feel is a good number for CRD.
I think its a good idea to at least allow players take a look through CRD if they want. This restriction would only be for posting as many people find it useful and interesting to read about clan drama but may not be eligible.
I know we have tried community moderation is the past but it wasn't the best solution for either party. We are currently transitioning to an improved moderation system and we expect the moderation to be more precise and effective, particularly in CRD.
Thanks for taking the time to provide us with some concise feedback and please feel free to continue to provide more as we go through these changes.

Hypnotik: Hello all,
There's been a lot of discussion lately in here about how posting privileges in CR/D should be handled. Unfortunately, it isn't currently possible to base this on Clan membership - the only game-linked value to base this on is battles played. We have discussed increasing the minimum battle requirement, and would like to know how you all feel about this requirement.
We'll also leave this topic open for discussion, so please tell us why you think it should be the option you chose.

dance210: If you made it into the 3rd Qualifier Round, then your team has qualified for the Open League. Tonight's round is to select the 4 teams that will battle Friday night for the 2 open Minor League spots. Hope that helps clear up your confusion.

Hypnotik: Recently we asked you all for feedback about the Clan Spotlight series, and we received a great response. Thank you to all those who answered the questions, we appreciate it. Now we’d like to share the results with you.
Overall, people are very happy with the length of the interviews, both portal and extended (forum) versions.
There were several great recommendations of questions for Clans in the Spotlight which we intend to ask in future interviews and livestreams.
Most people do not stream when they are trying to fight against the Spotlight Company, but this was an expected result. The reasons were pretty equally because either players prefer not to stream their gameplay or because their computer/connection can’t handle it. Some people were unaware that this is a way to double their winnings - all you have to do is stream your match on your own Twitch account, and send me a link to your stream after the fight in a forum PM.
The primary reasons that people like to watch the stream on Twitch.tv were to learn how other clans call battles and to see how other clans communicate with each other. This is one of the main objectives of this series, so we’re glad to hear they’re being used as such.
The most common types of questions people would like to see in the future are “Clan Wars strategies/experiences” and “history of the Clan”. These will both be focused on a little bit more in the future, especially during the Spotlights on the more experienced clans. There were also several great write-in responses to this question.
Many people also wrote about the types of Clans they’d like to see in the spotlight, and it was a very mixed response. Many like to see the more experienced and more influential Clans, while others want to see the smaller Clans get their 15 minutes. You’ll end up seeing both, but the way Clans are selected is a bit more complex than that. We choose a Clan to feature for a variety of reasons, usually a different reason each time.

Laera: We're working to move this new Community Guidelines and new moderation standards over to the WoWP and 360 forums very soon.

Laera: Since they thread started off with the title "Petition" rather than as a "Suggestion", the moderation team saw it as a red flag. It could have been an interesting discussion but the comments started to derail the entire point of the poll. I'd advise them to create a new thread as a suggestion rather than a petition. That way they can gather feedback from the rest of the community and have a healthy discussion.
