breaking the forum rules of said forum. Repeated violations of most
forum rules leads to a temp. ban. But for first "offenses" here,
you could get points and a temp. forum ban. These things could give
one cause for reflection, and review, reflection on what one did,
how one was treated, how much time, and often, how much money a
person may be spending on a particular game, and at the end of the
day is it all just worth it? and does it matter? It is after
all Wargaming's forum, they make the rules and to use it, one must
abide by the rules. The power dynamic is firmly with them, which is
quite correct, being their forum. The only power that you as a user
or customer has is not to use the forums, and not to support WG
financially, gold, premiums tanks etc. In that respect the power
dynamic is with the customer. You pay your money and make your
choices. So is getting a few warning points or a temp/permanent ban
really important? Not really. It may be irksome, but that is all.
Most players judging by their performance in game, don't visit the
forums, or read the wiki, or watch any videos on tips. I'm sure
there are lots of forums out there discussing armoured warfare and
various tank games as an alternative. One has choice. Ectar: The money you spend in game has no relationship to your
access on the forums. Forum access for players is a
privilege and not a right. It's not essential to your game
play and many thousands of players will never visit official forums
during their time playing a game. Any player can read the
forums without having to log on, so access to the information is
never removed from players. What is removed is their ability
to post content or access to their forum account. This happens
after multiple warnings or can be related to first time offenses
for categories such as racism, nationalism and any form of
deliberate and direct bigotry aimed at causing unrest. As has been
said before there is only so many times you can ask someone to stop
doing something before it's clear they're not listening. Removing
someone's forum access is a last resort. Sadly sometimes players
just don't care or like to think they're something special and the
rules don't apply. Top tip, no one is above the rules and
even WG staff have been sanctioned/warned regarding content of
their posts. If you don't like the rules applied on our
forums, you're correct that you have the choice not to use
them. If you disagree with the type of content you'e allowed to
post on our forums again, you have the choice to go else where. Our
stand regarding what is ok and not ok to post on our forums will
not change. Some topics will forever remain out of bound because at
the end of the day this is a forum for a computer game and not a
open area for people to spew forth their person views and agenda's
to insult and provoke people due to boredom, spite for "for the
lulz". Simply deleting a post doesn't solve the issues of an
angry player because with no repercussions or punishment for their
actions they'll just continue to post more of the same. there is
consequences for your actions. It's not different to "other
forums". The serial offenders on our forums would last just as long
on other official forums also. That's something players seems
to also forget, official forums and fansite forums cater to totally
different players and fansites will always have more relaxed rules
because their target audience isn't the entire game's playerbase.
