SBKDisco, on 02 September 2013 - 07:21 PM, said: I decided to make this post because I have just been told that our
Clan Commander has been banned. I understand that players do get
banned, frequently the ban is for a serious offence such as
excessive team damage or similar.When my clan mate explained the reason for the ban and copied the contents of the e-mail our Commander had received informing him of his ban I seriously believed they were playing a joke on me, but having checked our WoT official clan roster, which shows our Commanders name with a line through it I am bewildered by the Admin's decision to ban him.
Dear Tank Commander,
Your account has been banned for inappropriate clan tag and breaking the Games Rules, Chapter 3.
http://forum.worldof...s.eu/index.php? ... ame-rules/
Please contact (ask your commander to contact) support at http://support.worldoftanks.eu/ to get it changed.
Thank you for your understanding.
The Customer Support.
After contacting Support he received this.
Thank you for contacting customer service.
Sadly according to our game rules the use of your clan tag is inappropriate. As in some places/countries it is associated with negative issues and you see why we would want to avoid this to be seen in our game even by accident, as I am sure you didn't intend anything of the sort.
An email was sent to you stating the reasons for this. Please follow this email to rectify this issue.
We await your reply
Best regards,
I am not sure if all of the clan members will be banned, due to our offensive clan logo, or if it is just our clan commander, I guess we will have to wait and see.
Here is the highly offensive logo as shown on our tanks in game, and inset on the white background is the logo taht was submitted to WoT many months ago when our clan was formed.
I apologise to all of you who find the logo offensive, I'm sure I will be banned from the Forums for putting such a highly offensive image in my post. In which case the world really has gone mad.
Personally, I think WoT support should grow some balls and tell whoever complained to get a grip and stop being so pathetic.
To all those who find this image offensive, you really need to see a shrink or get some other help to deal with whatever issues are flipping you out.
IPaul72: Hello there SBKDisco
I have looked into the situation and the restrictions on your account had nothing to do with the logo, talking to support they informed me of such.
But this should have been pointed out to you in a personal message that you received from the support team here.
However had more to do with the insinuations of the message of the clan and in the description linking to the youtube video's which is of a sexual nature referring to a part of the male anatomy.
See rules:
3.4 Names (Players and Clans), Avatars, Images/Video, Signatures & Clan logos
Certain content for names, avatars, images/video, signatures & clan logos, have no place on the World of Tanks forums or within the world of tanks game, due to their extremely offensive, annoying or inappropriate nature.
The following list is only a summary, but it gives some idea of names, images, signatures, avatars and clan logos which are not accepted with the world of tanks environment:
Names, Avatars, Images/Video, Signatures & Clan logos ....
that contain insults, personal attacks, abuse or harassment.
That contain unprintable words or abbreviations, or which are unattractive and/or unreadable.
which have (in any way) racist or nationalistic implications which may create offense to a certain nation, ethnic, religious or racial group.
that contain an allusion of racial or national supremacy, as well as discriminative propaganda on any level.
which are derogatory discriminative or offensive to people with a disability or illness.
which have an association with sexuality, pedophilia, sexual abuse; or have an offensive connection to the human body or bodily functions.
which contain excessive gore or violence, or are obscene/vulgar.
which make reference to addictive or illegal substances or their use, or any other illegal activities.
which either in whole or partly contain copyrighted or registered trade mark elements.
that contain reference to current mainstream religions that may create offense, i.e. names such as God, Jesus, Allah, etc.
that contain Logotypes, symbols, emblems or figures connected in one way or another with organizations, that violate or were violating existing laws and rules (For example, using different variations of Nazi symbolic, abridgements and signs( 88, 14, 420, SS), or similar stylization (such as, 55) as well as credentials, names and surnames of Nazi leaders) which may provoke strong negative reaction/association or promote national/ethnic/religious hatred.
that are connected with negative historical or political personalities, first of all those who are judged by international courts for crimes against humanity, those that generally arouse feelings of suffering or disgust in the majority of people, as well as members of currently existing terrorist organizations;
that negatively portraits the projects moderators, staff or administration;
which in any other manner violates the End User License Agreement or local laws;
....... either implicitly or explicitly are prohibited (This also contains links to websites containing the above). If names (player or clan), avatars, signatures, images/video, clan logos within the forums or within the game violate these rules the offending account may be changed and/or the accounts may be sanctioned or suspended. Moreover, the administration reserves the right to delete, update or modify any names (player or clans) and avatars, images or clan images which are considered inappropriate on the forums or within the game environment.
Additionally, excessively long forum signatures are not permitted. Signatures may not exceed two lines. If these limitations are exceeded, then the disruptive elements will be removed without explanation and the offending account may receive sanctions. Users are allowed to use images in your signatures, but their size must not exceed 468px×100px (length x width). The signatures can contain animation, but it should not be annoying.
So I reiterate the account restriction was because of the reference to the parts of the male anatomy which is listed in the rules above
I did look into it as I said, but unfortunately I can do nothing about the restrictions they will stay for now.
Sorry I couldn't help further.
Kind regards
