I thought you meant someone else flooding in a server lobby chat, rather than forum. If someone is flooding in the forum, then I agree something needs to be done about it. If someone was flooding in a server lobby chat and 2 days have passed since the guy flooded, do you think the guy deserves a 5 minute ban? I completely agree with you that if someone floods in the forum, they deserve a warning. I have that view as well, sorry for mixing the two terms up. I still disagree. But for future references, I won't say "Let's say.." to you or anyone on this forum, but it makes complete sense to me. If I'm saying "Let's say...", I'm saying "Let us take this example here and say it as an example." That's how I see it, I'm sorry that I said it as you don't have the same view. Next time I'll use "For example". :) I agree it should be that way. I don't understand why warn the players in one scenario, when you banned others for a week in the same situation. It's hypocrisy as I see it. Be consistent, moderators. Sorry Remaine that I didn't help much. I'm don't have all the facts on Tanki and other subjects and I apologize that I gave you some wrong answers and jumping to a couple conclusions.

Ah, okay I did remove that as what I has said wasn't right. It was wrong for me to say that, apologies. I guessed this guy was Remaine. Agreed.

First off I'd like to say this, do you mind calming down? As for our argument, let's get back to it That's very weird, moderators will usually not ban someone for flooding if it's a report, however, because it's a very minor violation. Arguing is not necessarily wrong at all, as we're doing it in this topic, but flaming is (Rule 2.4). I've never actually reported someone for flaming, so I don't know how that works with my favorite moderator, PC-JACK. Do NOT get me wrong on this issue, I am NOT assuming anything, just being aware of all possibilities. I believe flaming is about the same amount of a violating as trolling is, so if he acknowledged they were flaming and did nothing, tell EddyBeGood immediately with a screenshot of the pm because that should never be happening. What is it with you and assuming?! I'm not assuming anything, just looking at all possibilities, helping you with all possibilities, etc. May I see the argument? To define whether or not you were flaming? Because I honestly don't know. If you weren't flaming (Once again, I'm not assuming, just looking at all the possibilities and helping you) and you're sure you did nothing wrong, tell Semyon, eddy, or the help desk. Moderators cannot ban one for arguing, but can for flaming (Rule 2.4). :) Ahhhhh, okay, okay, I see what you mean. I know someone who was flaming and only got banned for a day, but that was for 1 page. I don't understand that, actually. However, I only tell what I hear, and I'm not an official Consultant, so I am unable to answer that circumstance. In that case, you are correct to say that you and felix should have received bans instead of warnings. I do in fact have the SAME issue with the help desk, and am very angry at it. I would give Semyon a screenshot and tell him, however I can't as I put the conversation in the trash. Do you still have the conversation? Maybe you can bring the issue up to Semyon who is very fair in his deeds. I do not see how I used ambiguous words, they seem very clear to me. "Let's say..." is a synonym of "For example" or "e.g." so I honestly don't understand why you were so confused by that. A forum moderator (Probably FBI, idk) was nice enough to move it. Thanks mod :)

You can tell them you don't want the supplies, T-Shirt(s), or mug, and they don't have to give it to you :)

You should be. I brought it to a forum moderator's attention so they may delete it :) If you won first place, you get Five T-Shirts with your slogan on it. The prizes for winning can be found here. :)

If you don't understand, 13 is an unlucky number internationally. So, Tanki realizes this and thinks it's cool so they made it 13% sale.

How do you assume nothing happened? Did you pm them again and ask them? I do know a moderator that I personally pmed, and he didn't reply. Does that mean nothing happened? No, I asked him "Did you do anything" and he said "Of course, I'll never let a report slip by as I receive crystals". So, if they read it, and don't reply. Ask them (if they closed the pm, then open another with that topic and your complaint) why they didn't reply, and tell them, for future reference, to reply when you send a pm to them. If they continue to not send you a reply, move on to another moderator. Was this in a pm? If it was, then you should ABSOLUTELY tell EddyBeGood, Semyon, or help@tankionline.com. A moderator should never ban you if you're discussing their actions privately, unless there's another violation. If it wasn't in a pm, and you were discussing his actions, then you should be banned as you are violating the rule about publicly discussing a staff's actions. First off, just some healthy advice, felixbond is a troll, and a general rule in life is to never argue with trolls (the argument usually goes nowhere). However, if you went on for pages and pages in a topic, then you're violating Rule 2.15. You deserved a warning there. Moderators are humans, and usually humans don't like losing arguments. However, you can't be banned for arguing with a moderator, unless you're violating Rule 2.18 or Rule 2.14. If you are banned for simply arguing with a moderator, immediately talk to EddyBeGood or help@tankionline.com for consultation. If the moderator made a bad call on punishing you, he himself will be punished. I'm sure you do, I know people who laugh at their friends who get banned. That's why I used it as an example when I said "let's say...", I wasn't making a sweeping generalization. You may post on this topic, however this small discussion is going off the topic of the OP. Please pm me your next reply. If you don't, I'll just pm you my reply to that post. :)

hahahahaha, I was scrolling through the Violator's section, and I saw some of those topics, I couldn't stop laughing when I saw this comment!

Let me explain this to you. There is not always a moderator present. So, when a moderator is not present, and someone insults another member, then the player cannot be banned right on the spot because there's no moderator to ban it. Do you want there to be justice on the player? I do too, and so what I do is I'll take a screenshot, process it to my files, then to my computer, then to a picture website, and finally to this forum via a private message to a chat moderator. If you want to give it to a chat moderator, I HIGHLY recommend PC-JACK (but also give some to other chat moderators, because I don't want PC-JACK to get too much work) and the moderator will ban the player. However, let's say two guys are chatting, and one of them receives a ban for a violation. The friend of that guy doesn't like that, thus insulting the moderator. Well, a moderator is certainly present in that case and will ban the player who insults the moderator. My point is, is that a moderator will definitely ban a player who insults another member IF he's there, but can't ban him if he's not. However, a moderator is usually present when someone insults him, so he will always ban it then. However, a moderator is not always present when a member insults another member so it's up to you to help ban the player ;)

I don't completely understand your question, though I do have two ideas as to what it may be. Are you asking, "Did the rebalance happen last year at Christmas?". To that question the answer's "no", as I believe rebalance came December 5th. Or are you possibly asking, "Will there be a rebalance at this Christmas?", to that the answer's also "no", however, there will be a Physics Update which will re-balance turrets and hulls, and there's a small chance the update's released on Christmas Day.

You haven't seen much, then. They've done 0% off discounts ;) No, but seriously last year on Halloween they did a 13% discount on ONLY m3s! At least it's all the items in garage now (other than product kits)

Thank-you, I understand what it means now. Thank-you for the 3 examples and how it works. Next time I have a question about anything I'll ask you ;)

Please define what you mean by "we". I have so much joy for the rebalance, though I can admit the old graphics were just plain cool in my first about week in TO! I honestly don't care about the new kits, I'm thinking of purchasing one myself. Update 123, well, it's decreasing crystals, I don't "hate" it, but I "dislike" it. However, they had no other choice! They had to go through with Update 123 because of the refund after the re-balance.

I don't remember is being 305, but it's only 50 crystals difference anyways. Smoky m3 will still be 13% when the days arrive ;). I don't understand what you're saying at the end, but I can say that the product kits are always 50% off of their value in items.

Well, this is what happens. If you report someone, you cannot just explain simply "Player thisguy hacked", you must give a screenshot, or, in case of something like sabotage or a hacker in the battle, a video should be provided. What @FederalBureauFBI is saying, is that many players want free crystals. So, they'll make many many alternative accounts, rank them up to Private, and use a violation on these accounts just to receive crystals. When they do this, they are wasting moderators' time. My personal opinion, is that moderators have a CHOICE who and how many crystals they'd like to be given (with a maximum of 150 crystals) for each report, IF the moderators chooses the player should be given little to no crystals. So, it's their judgement on the report.

I agree, I actually have been trying to ask moderators and Consultants what Rule 1.15 is if it's not 2.1. Some send me to "Game Rules" which is an ignorant answer considering I always tell them, "I was going though the game rules,..." and I obviously know what the rule says, but what an example of it that wouldn't be part of Rule 2.1 is what I'm searching for. EddyBeGood said "NOOB" wouldn't be, but "Stupid Noob!" would be. I said "Wouldn't that be the same thing as rule 2.1 as the offender had spoke the word "stupid" which is an insult thus disobeying Rule 2.1? If Rule 2.1 is in there, what honestly is the point of Rule 1.15. 4 days he has left me unanswered, when he consistently answers me everyday. My point is that "Why is Rule 1.15 (and so many other rules) existent, when we have Rule 2.1?

Does the tank have a what? I don't understand the word "nic".

Honestly guys, this statement is true. I don't even expect anything from Tanki, but they still give us sales. If you remember last year (unless you weren't in TO) the sale was 13% for ONLY m3s! Which is a very small amount of people they'd serve. With this sale, I feel much more satisfied. 13% for EVERYTHING other than product kits which have a pre-50% off and don't need more sale. Some of you are, honestly, spoiled and should be just grateful they give us any discount. However, it's not the discount we should be solely focusing on, but the other cool things as well. Cool billboards which, for a peculiar reason, create memories, awesome flags which are also cool in their own way, AND they also have a cool new limited time only map with 3000 Gold Boxes! This stuff the developers display should not be wasted by moaning, get out on the battle field for the 5 days the developers give you, have some fun, make memories and screenshots, play on the new map, and it's up to you if you want to use the sale. There may be another sale upcoming that has a higher discount. All I'm saying is, don't waste this wonderful time of Tanki Online dissapointed about the sale. Go have an adventure and play with your friends! ;)

I do this all the time. I get the most amusement out of it! :D

I applaud this greatly! I usually send the link of the page to a forum moderator, but this is just wonderful! Awesome job!

Best Administrators: It really is a tie. Can't decide between yele or EddyBeGood Best Chat Moderator: It's not even close. This goes to PC-JACK Best Forum Moderator: This is disputed, but would go to Supernick95 Best Consultant: loktinho Best DJ: micah Best Reporter: Lhamster All my opinion ~Saved By Grace~

He is the best Chat Moderator IMO.

KABOOM!

Well-written and humourous article! :)
