The rules of behavior and communication in the multiplayer project World of Tanks are formed in such a way as to make the game process as comfortable and sporty as possible for all its participants.
All the moments that the administration considers negatively are described in the rules of the project, but many users unknowingly or deliberately violate them, receiving this account blocking.

For what You Can Get a Ban in World of Tanks
Blocking game features can limit the entry to the game or only communicate in chat and be temporary or permanent.
Common Reasons for Bans
Next, let’s consider the reasons that often lead to permanent or temporary restrictions on game opportunities.
Insults/Normative Language
Most often, blocking the ability to communicate in the game chat comes when using abnormal language and insults to other project participants or project administrators.
The reasons for such statements can differ, including provocative actions or appeals from other players, but this is not an excuse or mitigating circumstance.
Meaningless Messages (Flooding)
If you abuse hyphenation, punctuation, uppercase letters, and emoticons in your messages, it will be considered flooding, and the administration will ban the ability to communicate in chat.
The same result will be achieved if:
- perform mass mailings that no one has asked for;
- frequently publish the same type of messages in the chat;
- post recruiting requests (limit – once every 5 minutes);
- post information that is not relevant to the game or the current discussion.
Prohibited Topics
The following topics will result in the blocking of the ability to communicate/game:
- Transfer of money, game currency, or equipment.
- Users purchase or sell game accounts.
- Inappropriate remarks about various communities on the grounds of gender, race, religious beliefs, etc.
- Disclosure of personal information about players, including their real names, residential or work addresses, etc.
- Inaccurate information about the project’s game mechanics, participants, or administration.
- We are obtaining personal data through extortion or threats.
- Sexual content.
- You are mentioning or promoting psychotropic substances, drugs, or alcohol.
- Threats in any form.
- They are advertising anything, including information resources.
- Comments against the current government or the project administration, regardless of their connotation (positive comments are also not allowed).
- Provocative statements that encourage any violations of the current rules of the project.
Behavior Considered Unsportsmanlike
In addition to filtering chat, the WoT administration pays attention to the behavior of players in battles, recognizing the following actions as unsportsmanlike:
- any actions against allies that prevent them from playing (holding, propping, pushing, ejecting, etc.) or causing damage;
- fighting by prior collusion of the participants to achieve a particular result;
- passive play, defined by lack of mobility and failure to inflict damage on opponents;
- pumping the equipment of someone else’s account;
- simultaneous launch of several clients from one device;
- use of various software that imitates user behavior in the client (clickers, macros, bots, etc.);
- Other actions are at the discretion of the administration.
Ban on the World of Tanks Forum
To get blocked, the ability to publish messages on the forum is enough to violate its rules, which are similar to communication in the project chat.
Usually the forum ban is limited by changing the status to “Reader” to protect other forum members from incorrect behavior of the violator.
How to Find Out the Reason for the Ban
The reason for blocking the ability to communicate in chat or admission to battles is displayed in a pop-up information window, indicating its duration and a link to the paragraph of the violated rules.
It is enough to go to the support page, open the project rules and read the corresponding paragraph to find out why the ban was imposed.
How to Appeal a Ban on World of Tanks in 2024
To challenge the blocking imposed by the project administration, you must contact the support service with a corresponding appeal.
To successfully appeal the ban, it is necessary to have a record of the battle/chat, which will be proof of innocence.
In the absence of confirmation of correct behavior in battles and / or communication, it will be impossible to challenge the decision of the admins.
