How to Report a Player in World of Tanks

In any gaming community, negative subjects always enjoy insulting other users, especially when communicating in text or voice chat.

WoT developers are interested in creating a comfortable gaming environment and try to identify and block players who violate the rules of the project and cause discomfort to other participants.

It is difficult to track all violations by administrators, so the basis for creating a comfortable environment in World of Tanks is the users’ activity and the system of filing, reviewing, and processing complaints.

How to file a complaint against a player in World of Tanks, for what violations it can be done, how to confirm and dispute them, let’s consider below.

For what Violations do you Report Players

The administration of WoT considers complaints against users of the project for the following violations:

• non-compliance with the rules of behavior in chat rooms;
• intrusive, incorrect, and aggressive behavior of allies and opponents;
• use of names for accounts or clans that contradict the accepted rules;
• Use programs or commands to gain an unreasonable advantage (cheating).

Violation of Chat Rules

There are only a few simple rules to make communication between WoT players mutually polite:

1. It is not allowed to use foul language or make insulting statements.
2. Using abbreviations or combinations of words with a hidden profanity subtext is forbidden.
3. It is not allowed to use or provoke nicknames about other players based on differences in race, nationality, religion, and gender.
4. Threats of actual reprisals are unacceptable.
5. Not acceptable are various provocations, as well as direct or hidden calls to violate the rules of the project.

Toxicity

The essence of players’ toxic behavior consists of various manifestations aimed at undermining the self-esteem and balance of other users, who can equally be their opponents or allies.

If toxicity is manifested in voice or text chat, the best way to protect yourself from such behavior is to add to the “Blacklist”, which will not be able to get rid of other manifestations: AFK (lack of activity in battle), intentional loss or actions aimed at defeating a particular player.

Forbidden Username or Clan Name

The project rules limit the names that account and clans can have, and unacceptable words, abbreviations, and word combinations, in most cases, are detected by their automatic check.

In cases where the automatic check failed to detect a prohibited player name or clan name, it is helpful to have project users who identify such issues, allowing you to exclude violations and supplement the control algorithm.

Use of Cheats

Various third-party software can provide World of Tanks users advantages by obtaining invulnerability, increasing damage, or changing other characteristics.

Identifying and fixing such violations of game rules can be detected only in the battle process when tracking changes in the result of various actions occurs in real time.

To notice the use of cheats, you need to have experience in tank battles and understanding of the regular characteristics of various weapons.
