Ectar:   What thread, what player name, and what evidence?  I'm calling you out on this straight up dude. Please present your information and claims here for everyone to see. I give you my word you won't have any action taken against your account for posting this evidence. I take every claim of WG contest rigging very very seriously and every single time I ask players to share their rumors, nothing is ever posted.  It's always "I heard" or "This guy who's name I don't know"  or "People said that..."  Then nothing. Nothing but stories rumours and lies with no further evidence.   Over 2 years ago there was a nasty situation where a WG staff member was accused of running contests that weren't clear and potentially preselecting winners.  When that happened all WG EU contests were stopped until every contest was reviewed. A player involved in this at the time was banned from the forums, but that was because they shared personal details of a WG employee on the forums.  That's a rather serious breach of forums rules which can lead to much more serious issue down the line with potential legal implications: 2.2 Distribution of real life information and real-life threats   Postings and discussions which have users’ personal data (such as addresses, telephone numbers, emails, other contact information) - regardless of whether this is their own or that of other users - will be removed. Users who publish this type of content on the forum will be warned or suspended by an administrator or a moderator.
If a thread or post is in violation of the forum rules, users are encouraged to use the report button on the post and provide information as to why the thread or post is in violation.
No rude or disrespectful posts to or about any forum moderators or Wargaming.net employees, as well as no release of real-life information about moderators or Wargaming.net employees are allowed on this forum.
Real-life threats include both clear and masked language and/or links to websites containing such language or images which refers to violence in any capacity that is not directly related to the game world
If a member is found to have participated in such actions, he/she will:
• Be temporarily banned from the World of Tanks forums
• Be given a final warning, any further violations may result in permanent ban from the forums   Their ban from the forums had utterly nothing to do with "exposing contest rigging" - It was because they shared some very personal information of a WG employee.  We don't allow players to break forum rules (especially very serious sections of those rules) because they have something else to say.   I would love to know who apparently got his account erased for exposing us because that is a pretty serious claim and if someone in our company is doing shenanigans like that, I'd like to see them out the door.
