Yes, all the way. If whatever you chat or post on forum conforms to the Game rules then you have nothing to fear, even if its highly critical towards the game. You can actually see it happening in this topic but also in the Developers' Information section each week where many negative posts that never violated any rules were never removed and are still there :)

Doritos man !!! Like what kind of a question is that even !!?!??! :blink: :blink: Its always doritos dude!

Wow you seem to be so smart in economics. Below is a pic of that same very post of hazel, but this time also containing the original question he was answering. Your question and that of @Unexplainable are in essence referring to the same things : the income of the game and the financial status of the company. And that answer provided by hazel is still valid and since you've shown to be a smart lad we'll let you use your skills to read in between the lines and figure out the mathematical and economical implications of it :) Have fun

What's interesting is that you keep accusing the poor mod without knowing that it was actually me who hid that topic : What's also interesting is that showing snippet of his pm with you doesn't show that he did point out to you the exact rule that was violated, asked you to remain patient while the case was referred to his admin (i.e. me), that said admin responded to you and your co-clan leader, explained the situation and the issue, and explained that this topic and issue is on our to-do lists, we even told you what others tasks were ahead of it, i.e. the other 3 clans who, despite all 3 being wayyyyyy bigger than yours, are proving to have more calm and patience and respect than you guys are showing. Absolutely no reason to fear at all. And no, they don't even have to go and make a new clan topic again. As already explained to them as soon as we finished processing the topic and the reports it has gotten and apply sanctions based on what the Game rules mandate, if and where necessary, after all that is done we will return the clan topic back to where it was prior to the violations made. Well do read the comments above, consult with your clan leaders as they have been provided more information and go read all the previous post I made about this very issue in this thread. If you don't know how to quickly find those post without sifting through pages and pages of posts, here's some good tips on how to use the search functions of the forum wisely http://en.tankiforum.com/index.php?showtopic=222412&p=3942216 Extra hints : Author = Damn_Slow Find in forum = Game Discussion Display results = As posts

Just so people don't confuse what we're talking about to be premium paint related : http://i.imgur.com/NDJcud8.png Now yeah, no matter what game mode he is playing he needs to be #1 target, but fun fact, he's always only been seen in DM

If you really think tanki is about to face bankruptcy then see green quote from pony-tail man below :

not just about that video, but for any other myths and rumours that have our players worried and left in doubt. well except about things like that godmode_on whatever guy, who cares about a noob with op paint :ph34r:

Cause my dear sirogo, unlike what many players think and were lead to believe we don't have creepy evil deeds to hide. If this topic comes to the attention of more people, so be it. In fact we prefer them knowing the real deal rather than gossips, rumours, wrong assumptions or incomplete stories. ps: We do have helluva lot more questions still unanswered in here, they will be answered, we thank you for bearing with us a little :)

yes men big pay-to-win , you pay to get a fancy badge and an eye-catching 15% weak paint that will make you stand out of the crowd so all kids who don't have that badge and paint can gang up and go hardcore d3s on you. By the way, isn't it ironic that a ksa guy complains about pay-to-win ??

We do man :) we do, and even devs do, as matter of fact : Hi, I've seen mods make mistakes in the past, but since friday's vlog i haven't seen them do much mistakes. They were even very flexible and handled lots of mess in very cool fashion. They handed bans only where they really needed to do so as per the Game rules. Its also true that there should be some sort of sanctions for moderators if there's any wrong doings from them and it is true that admins should be responsible for moderators. But guess what's not true? We're not their lawyers. We're actually more like their judge and jury. If there's a mod who did wrong, report him/her to his/her respective admin and if sanctions need to be applied it'll be applied, as has always been the case.

Hey hi :) funny thing about sami and his video. watch it all again and you'll see he does mention "I'm not asking you to go break tanki rules" + he himself did not post the video, nor violated any other tanki rules (so far). So, don't you think that's a bit weird? :huh: You know you can go ask him about why we've been removing his video off the game forum and game chat, he does seem to know better than you and he does seem to want to enlighten you, so ask him. Oh, uhmm, it turns out that alternatively you can also read what admins post in this forum topic I quoted @drazeruzumaki in green below, do read and you'll know how he succeeded in posting his critics without them getting removed or him getting punished. Fact : There has been relatively very few bans on sunday in comparison to the amount of those posts that were removed. All bans that were served were posted on the forum in the traditional orange banline. Go on the vlog topic and count them. Fact : You yourself admitted that the post you got mad about being removed was one which was not on topic. Fact : Devs and CMs do come to those topic for feedback, their time is limited and the amount of useless irrelevant gibberish nonsense posts are always high in those topics, and guess what? Mods effectively take that kind of garbage out of the way so devs and CMs and other forumers as well don't waste their time with those rubbish. Fact : There's actually even a rule against posting useless worthless off-topic balderdash on any forum thread. Its all in the Game rules. You want the mod who simply removed it to go back and do his job as per rule and serve and official warn or ban for petty nonsense? Is that really what you want? Fact : With downvote button gone the dev-to-player communication level rose sky high compared to what it was before and that too in just a few days. Fact : All posts with criticisms against the game or updates which were posted in civic ways and with regard to the rules are still here on the vlog topic, and not just that topic, but countless from well before. Go look at them and let me know if they're all solely flowers and butterflies and start by these ones you posted in this topic thus far. and Fact : If you substitute the word "corruption" with "censorship" in the green quote below you get the real truth about your so called censorship. Try it :

uhh, hellooooo, it happens each week in developers section, how come you don't know about it despite having 1600+ posts, ?? :huh: If I recall correctly, in that very vlog you mention serene did say the chances were less than 1%. Similarly the "easier daily missions" were well informed on a previous vlog as well. And you can't even seriously and really compare the developer-to-player communication of the rebalance days to what it is now. well, as tommy hinted above, vlog 62 is where you need to go mate. Enjoy and happy hunting :)

simple : Good ogres = them lads replying in this topic with a fancy avatar under their name confused ogres = 90% of the remaining participants (and its not their fault, lots of them were mislead by other mean ogres) trolls = the usual ones, you'll recognise them from their flaming posts dev ogres = so far we have not seen this race comment in here much, except 1 going by name semyonkirov. But if moons be with us perhaps we see more like this and some unicorns :) edit : ohhh mannnn, you said org chart and i read it as ogre chart

I think we can replicate the answers given in here on the 1st page of the topic so new readers don't need to go through irrelevant chitchats :)

woooo wooo woooohhhhhhh buddy !!! Hold it right there !!!!!!!!!! if you're gonna be part of the team then go ask all these other guys on the team how badly damny reacts to that word you say above !!!! :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: THIS SHOULD BE LIKE THE VERY 1ST THING ALL CANDIDATES LEARN FOR WABBIT SAKE !! @FederalBureauFBI ← this guy your admin right? I'm gonna have a word with him :angry:

mannnnnnnnnnnnnnn ..... just yesterday itself I raised that issue, again. I had 2 other players complaining to me about it as well again, and several did in the past, specially since the time some of the payment partners were changed / had policy changes. And I even bugged poor semyon about it again yesterday, well turns out it is a known issue among devs and they will look into it as soon as they can. That said he also confessed that it can be a while cause these guys are already having a mountain of tasks to do, so we will all have to wait a bit more I guess

No, it was no mistake ma très chère and as I already explained to these gentlemen in pm and in server chat (well both leaders of that clan), I did effectively hide his topic today, and not just his, DOT, KOA, VIP as well. Took us a long time to clean the latter 3, they've been re-made visible, still locked cause mods are still working on it and its all usual process as has been in the past. Once the few volunteers working on those finish their task on said topics they'll move on to handle the issue with Mr @I_JUST_OWNED_YOU_KID and take any actions that needs be taken. And here's even an extract of the pm we have been having with these gentlemen :

The boy said many things, a whole lot of them are highly speculative btw, the ones concerning the game, various aspects of it and its future, but also several things surrounding eSports were mentioned without giving the full story, sadly, and in a much dramatic style. Well why rely on speculations and incomplete information when you can have official answers? That's what this topic is about, if things he said caused you to have doubts, feel free ask here and we'll answer you. Do make your questions clear please.

Believe it or not, but I got acquainted with the guy only a few months ago. Was he corrupt? I wouldn't know, cause I wasn't admin back then and I did not and still do not hold all the information about the drama that happened back then (2012 if I recall correctly) , but hey, guess what? I don't see him around, I also don't see many of the old admins and old mods that people still hold grudges against to this day. So if they are not around any more, why are you still dwelling over these long gone and past incidents? :huh: Also if you think staff or helpers can't be trusted then your choice, no one will force you to believe what you've carved in your head, we got better things to do :)

Semyon's answer on page 1 is already quite clear about that. But I do want to point out something though : (see spoiler)

hmmm, will leave that one to FBI to answer, he'll be more apt to clarify the situation on this since, as you both agree, he knows the full story.

I don't think I see much of those in violators section, but from our earlier conversation in server chat I deduce you're referring to individual chat mods having a different arrow style each. Well, its just an expression of their individuality :)

Typical questions from many of you : Sorry, but this is not true. Mods do NOT get paid for banning players. Instead they are assessed in how many hours they spend in the chats, keeping an eye around, interacting with players and the overall time they work. Without revealing too much information about the technical stuff, we can simply say that they are not, in any case, paid for banning players ; the actual amount of bans they hand out is irrelevant in calculating how effective they have been. Why the videos you mentioned have been hidden? Simple, they do not reflect the true nature of the game and its management in so many ways. There's tons of unsaid things in it, there's tons of mere speculations, but we don't deny there were certain elements of truth either, but only very few. We don't protest against the video, in fact we respect it and its author, but the game forum and chats are no place to discuss speculative contents and definitely not in a one-sided fashion as has been the case up till now. We do not know the individual saying that to you but no, this is not true at all. See the top comment. However if your friend is an old mod from back in the older days, then he is referring to how the old system used to work. Back then it was a mess, a plague and even I was a victim of that system getting banned unfairly for months with my friends. But since then (long ago) tanki has adopted a different system so that we don't get mods easily abusing the system for more crystals

Only reason I am locking this topic right here is the same reason I am locking all others of its type. To ensure we have 1 official topic where we can answer you all without all the info being spread out in god knows how many topics which not everyone will see. I'll pick up burning questions you have in here as well as all other topics and answer them. Just keep an eye up for the official topic :) edit : http://en.tankiforum.com/index.php?showtopic=289674
