Ask a Battle Mod

[MSI 1,926]

 

Tankers!

 

As you're well aware, Battle Mods spend most of their time popping their heads into battles and trying to keep up with the flood of reports that keep coming in. Unfortunately, this leaves them with very little time to actually speak with players and answer their questions.

 

This is why we've decided to create this thread. Here, you will be able to ask your questions about battle moderation and violations, and other related things, and get a reply from an actual Battle Mod.

 

IMPORTANT

 

The following are STRICTLY PROHIBITED:

• Spam, flaming and off-topic discussions
• Discussions about how to apply for the position of battle mod, or why you haven't been accepted for the post, or any other related questions about Battle Mod applications
• Arguing about or appealing a Battle Mod decisions
• Reporting other players (there's a special section for that elsewhere)

 

 

Read it carefully @A.F.F

Firstly, let me make clear I am not appealing a battle mod's decisions, but I happen to know several friends who reported someone for using ignore tank hack, yet due to them only using it 1-2 times, despite being clear, the offender was not blocked.  Why is that?

[BlackWasp777 4,498]

My qustion why there is no wasp and fire format in tanki. Wasp and fire or hornut is better than DC format.please brring wasp or hornut and fire format in tanki

Battle Moderators that care for saboteurs inside battles - they do not decide about game features. So.. wrong thread :p.

Ask this in the Cedric's Office thread, in order to prevent a discussion here.

Screenshot removed, don't post screenshots of violations in public.

[r_IMT-5390 150]

I have no questions,just an (don't get me wrong) advice

 

you guys have to work like RU mods do,it's pointless to even use /vote command if EN mod comes,because in most of the times you couldn't recognise sabotage even if it would bite you in your butt :)

 

RU mods are better by far then you guys,and I can't be more sorry about that fact..I've been out for 6 months,then got back just to see what changed,and all I can see are mults more then ever../vote now "works" quite better then from the time I left (more battle mods I suppose) but it's pointless,from the reason I mentioned earlier.

 

you need to strict conditions to become one of you,and first step would be 5+ milion xp players

 

just an opinion,

 

respect

Anyone can explain him my question in a different way? I may not be using the correct words...

To be honest, when that chap replied asking you to post in the violators forum for the second time I was like "But if he posted it there...and they deemed it was wrong of him....the chap was basically reporting himself and gets punished for it :D  :P "

 

My question: Is it possible to see if you've entered the battle or been successfully summoned? Do you guys still get time to actually just play the game? Or are you workaholics.. :ph34r: 

[Gabe2607 499]

If none is reporting or complaining, there is no "sabotage".

 

Then to make a rule on every single possibility (how long can I keep the flag, where can I keep it, what if this action causes a loss or a tie, should someone complain, how many should complain, etc.) is frankly impossible.

 

Should there be a report, decision will be based on the personal opinion of the specific Mod checking the case.

Battle mods deal with violations in the game, not the chat. This isn't the appropriate place to report another player, and is forbidden as mentioned on the first post.

 

To report that player, start a new topic here: http://en.tankiforum.com/index.php?showforum=159

 

Name the title STEPANGOLD - English

 

In the body section of the post, include the link of the screenshot, then click on "Post New Topic"

 

A chat moderator will then examine your proof and will distribute the necessary punishments for the chat violator.

are battle mods chat mods too or these are two different jobs?

Different jobs and persons .

 

Chat administrators and moderators : http://en.tankiforum.com/index.php?showtopic=283955

Battle moderators : http://en.tankiforum.com/index.php?showtopic=294730

 

Small map or less player capacity map like 4v4 need more attention in case of sabotage because even one player can make huge difference.

so my question is battle mode give more preference to them or not?

We always check battle statistic before we spectate on any battle .

 

What is the point of /vote if nothing happens?

As i already explained , at least 25% of all players in battle should use the /vote command on the violator. 

 

 

 

 

Firstly, let me make clear I am not appealing a battle mod's decisions, but I happen to know several friends who reported someone for using ignore tank hack, yet due to them only using it 1-2 times, despite being clear, the offender was not blocked.  Why is that?

Lagging do not mean player is using a hack ignore tanks . All cheaters / hackers videos are checked by the Battle Moderator Admin personally before Blocking or Refusing the report .

Chat moderators are really useless in this game..

Because when you ask them a question. they take like 1 hour to reply

And i would appreciate if they would reply in less than 1 min..

And i mean it for all chat moderators

I guess I understand why they do not answer you...  :P

Why is changing textures banned? Ik it's in the EULA button what is the logic behind it being prohibited?

[M-axis 589]

When a battle mod joins the game, do we get a notifcation like

"A battle mod has joined the game"?

I'd like to know this too..

[Taco 2,820]

Nope, that would actually ruin the point of handling a certain violation, if the players in the battle are notified that a battle mod is present (including the accused violator) he/she would most likely stop what they're doing, which would leave the battle mod with no proof to issue a ban.

 

Joining without being seen by others is the entire point, because they need to obtain proof in order to hand out the necessary punishments to a violator.

[Gabe2607 499]

Hello,

I am interested in the 2.1.1. paragraph of the rules:

Automatisation of gameplay, including botting (use of software that imitates the actions of Users in the Game), use of clicker programs, macros that control mouse and keyboard, use of other third-party software for obtaining advantages in the Game;

 

I've divided this into 2 parts. The bright blue part is pretty straightforward, and is a reason for a huge amount of punishments. But the red part is a bit tricky for me. Could you please explain it, and mention some violations that this clause covers? (Basically, what can be an automatisation, and what does gameplay means here.)

Automatisation of gameplay, including... and some examples.

 

The blue sentence shows examples of Automatisation of gameplay :)

This is not a section for complaints. If you have a complaint regarding chat moderators please contact administrators in charge via private message.

You will get ONLY get a notification when the /vote reach 25% of players in the battle 

 

 

 

 

[railguniz4noobz 2,394]

Yo got me wrong. 

It means using a bot to play the game and get exp/crystals for you.

 

Dont use a bot at all and you should be fine.

[misafeco 713]

25% + 1 in Polygon 8v8 is 5 players. You will never get that amount in a battle at my rank. Enemy players never report the mult in our team. Which means maximum of 7 players can vote so we need actually more than 70% of the active players. I don't think 70% even knows how to report someone.

 

My question: Are the reported battles mostly legend or high-rank battles?

[railguniz4noobz 2,394]

I must tell you, you are wrong. This rule is not ONLY about unofficial softwares. So called red part means something different I guess.

You already got an answer. The red part is the general rule and the light blue are some examples of it. 

[GunslingerMongoose 198]

So, I have a question. If I'm playing on a Monte Carlo CTF and I have the flag in our base and the enemy team has our flag in their base, meaning I can't cap, and an ally tank pushes me off the side into the void, forcing a return of the flag and a subsequent capture, would this be sabotage? I'm asking because it's happened a few times in the past and every time it's happened I reported the culprit.

 

Also, if an ally tank pushes a Shaft on their team around and sometimes upside down, would this also be sabotage?

Both of those are sabotage.

[GunslingerMongoose 198]

Both of those are sabotage.

Yeah I figured but the question is  how long of a punishment can these normally result in.

Mostly day blocks.

Ah. Ok, well thank ya.

Polygon 8 vs 8 needs 4 /vote players and not 5 {{ You and 3 others players will be enough }}

In general , Yes must be sabotage but we should watch the video to see what is really happened there to give you a correct answer .
