Google Plus Tanki Community as another "Official Community"

[Adm.tang 14]

Could Google Plus (Particularly the large TO G+ Community https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/118253786693158477499) be recognized as official communities with real moderators. I am one of the moderators in that community mentioned above and it is a pain to keep violators in check because we can't really do much to them except for removing them from the community.

Google Plus? Never heard of it  :D

 

Seriously, compared to other social networks like Twitter and Facebook, G+ is so little known that it's absolutely pointless to try and organise a whole official community there, which includes hiring moderators, making sure all news are re-posted and information is kept up to date. Besides, it seems way too similar to Facebook for there to be a reason to have it.

Well, the "community" exists as a Google Plus-type community and has over 2k people in it. There are several "hacking" TO communities on G+ as well. I have been doing most of what you posted as moderator jobs :D. However, even though it is similar to Facebook, there are still violators and what-not using it to do their stuff and it is really hard to manage them without actual moderator power.

Feel free to continue supporting it if you want, but unfortunately numerous larger communities also "applied" to be official and got rejected for similar reasons. I doubt that this case will be any different.

Well, it happens that Tanki has no real presence in this social media website besides sending out updates for people on it to see.

Uh.. There are too many communities out there. Why not keep everything in one place - the forum, for the sake of simplicity

^ Tanki online wants to be more popular and known that's why they socialize around big places...  The more players, the more cash (business).

There are hackers and players with bad intentions out there who won't use these forums to communicate.

Then why would you want to communicate with them?

[Adm.tang 14]

We don't communicate with them, we remove them so that they don't ruin other players' experience.

Since tanki on is quite wild around world as a game they must have small privillages in terms of protection of the game, so basicially get rid of the hackers etc animals around social media...

^ Official one.  Of course its not focused on as much as on Facebook, VK or tweeter where there is a much bigger following.  But nevertheless its updated every now and then with all the good news for the ones who follow through that medium :)

But there are no moderators around to keep the rules among the players who use G+.

not that i know of

[Adm.tang 14]

That is the reason that we make it official, to enable moderators to search and remove violators.

We're not ready yet to allocate more to G+ community.  In future if we see a need for it we'll do it.
