I have this account. I like it. I'm famous. The end ~

We shouldn't be arguing, they were all done very well. Good luck to everyone :)

^ I think it demonstrates creativity, and I think that's what people like ;)

Behemoth should win...they had the best technical skills for the video editing, and they were greatly in sync to the original soundtrack. So, Bee has my vote :)

It's ok lol, where'd you get the plain maps from though, TTT?

Still missing from them :(

That was pointless...

Yes. Next person will like Champion.

Boombox doesn't have music either :(

I never finished a battle...

I think it's safe to say that 99% of the players have been banned at least once in chat or forum. Even I have gotten quite a few bans since I was a recruit. Most of the time it is accidental, and you regret what you just wrote in chat right after. Of course not intentionally, but I felt that I could've avoided those bans if I had done something different. But, what are the ways that I can avoid committing these acts that are against the rules, and avoid getting a ban? There are ways you can avoid being banned. Here is a complete guide to help you with remembering what to do, and what not to do! 10. LEARN from your bans. If you already have gotten a ban for ignoring a rule, just remember not to make the same mistake again. Also, repeat offenders will get their bans lengthened in time. That is Tanki's way of making sure you don't repeat the offense again, as bans will increase if you don't stop making the mistake. From 5 minutes, it could get to an hour, a day, a week, a month, a year, or maybe forever. Floods may seem to be 5 minutes at first, but they get longer. Be careful! 9. Don't copy phrases and repost that are in a language you cannot understand. Often, they are either insults, profanity, or any other violation of rules. Since you cannot understand, you can't make the judgement of whether it is something good or bad. Also, links can lead to scamming sites, and you may be banned for Scam. Bottom line, don't copy and post anything in chat, or forum when you are not sure what the content is. They can lead to forever bans, so avoid anything that you don't know and reposting it. 8. Some sections in the forum have their own rules that are not listed in the Rules section. They are strict and will lead to bans if not followed. Best way is to read the rules and understand, or just avoid posting in that section at all, if you want to make sure you aren't banned. An example is the Complaints section, many get banned for posting a reply, in which Rules state to not post unless you either have the same problem. 7. Don't disagree with bans that moderators give. PM moderators if you feel it was unfair, or just send an email to help@tankionline.com. Publicly discussing your ban will only get you another ban for public discussion of moderator's activities. 6. Never leave your tank in a battle while you are taking a short break, unless you have pressed 'p' or also known as the Pause shortcut. Without pressing, your tank will continue to appear in the battle, but your teammates and opponents will see you as online. This is called 'multing', when you are taking up a space in the battle and not helping the team positively. Moderators have the right to ban you, according to the seriousness of your act, and decide if a fine is applicable. 5. Don't open useless topics on the forum. Check if the questions or suggestions have been made already and answered in the FAQ, or your complaint is already addressed and answered. Using search and looking for similar threads will minimize your chance of getting banned. 4. Don't discuss on what you dislike about the new version or update of the game. This may lead to insulting the administrators of the game, or the developers/helpers, in which moderators can give a longer ban for. 3. Don't do things that is purposely trying to make your opponent, or enemy mad. This is called Trolling, and a lot of people will commit such offenses because of heated battles and when conflicts arise. Just be calm, and talk your way out of these conflicts without the use of anything against Rules, such as profanity and insults. 2. Don't hate someone, or show it. If you have a grudge against that person, keep it private, not in chat. Don't swear, insult, impersonate, or troll the person. Those are the more common ways to get banned. If someone insults you, just kindly report it to a moderator, and they will take care of it for you. 1. READ and MEMORIZE the rules. Reading doesn't help itself. Just find the Rules section in the forum (#rules), and learn how you can get banned. That way, you won't be banned for something you didn't know was against the rules. That was just 10 ways to avoiding bans. Other players have a lot more methods that they use, and many players would try to avoid bans and have a clear log. These 10 tips helped me decrease my frequency of bans from once a week to almost no bans anymore. They cover all the rules, and since these are most common, take this as your new guide to being a respected tanker!

All of mine have the Windows Start menu in them...Screenshotting opens it up...and a third of the screen is gone :(

Player latvian_killer is banned forever. Reason: Showing personal interest in a topic -> Rules

Banned for having a name with two very different words

The paint takes out the feminists in us and how we're peaceful and loving. :wub: Blegh not I want to throw up after typing that

None of the staff paints have protection :( But, I'm sure they can do well without it ;)

Thank you B)

He'll be back...no doubt.

An amazing idea if you don't find players who either: 1. Don't listen to you 2. Don't drug. 3. Have opponents with anti-isida paint 4. Have opponents with long range weapons and drugs Once again, it is a dream team. It would be amazing, but unrealistic to happen. Canadians are amazing ;)

Thanks :) splitterpoint--- One of those who aren't proud of their post count. Amazingly active on forum and helps everyone in need.
