The Insider on Hall of Shame

Posted on by

Hello everyone,

after yesterday’s Hall of Shame, I recieved an e-mail from the Insider. Apparently, he was quite amused, but had something to add. I’ll leave his e-mail here (slightly redacted – removed some personal info – and with typos fixed). Here goes:

Minsk does read the Hall of Shame from time to time and knows well about certain clans with racism mottos, in fact they have handed a couple death threats to police already and the amount of bans has increased since last year. However, they hand the info to the Paris office, what they do with it… who knows, however it’s most likely shit clans like UNICA and EFE will never appear in an official WG article or contest due their behavior. Garbad from US cluster, his absolute douchebagginess towards a certain sector of the playerbase got him a forum ban, directly ordered by the RU office.

The Insider adds that the Russian server has different issues, specifically clans supporting the Russian occupation of Ukraine (founded for political purposes) – in such cases (as well as clans supporting fascist figures in Ukraine), the entire clan gets booted. Regarding what Wargamer or can/cannot do about nazis in the game:

Alternatively, WG could also be pressured to act, however it’s kinda tricky, basically you need a player to actually go to the police and hand the “death threaths”, especially in those countries, where the sole mention of nazism and its offsprings are legally forbidden, but make sure the offender is actually in one of the countries where this is enforced, that’s the tricky part, they put attention to especially nasty folks who stalk in places like Facebook, are ill minded and even generally open about it.

Think it’s a joke? Nope, a guy in the USA is facing jail for handing death threats on Facebook after losing a game of League of Legends and other law enforcement states in the USA are opting for an attitude of similar ways. The police can actually pressure Wargaming into forcing to either give the information about the offender, or force them to ban the player, or face legal charges and fines for “protecting violent behavior”. All it takes, is one person to be willing to spend an evening on the police to do it.

To close this matter, as far as I know, there are around 7 cases with open investigation for such, 2 of them in Germany, 1 in France, the rest in Belgium or the Czech Republic, and the mentioned accounts have a permanent suspension currently.

  2. Wargaming should be in the hall of shame! For the Special Offer of today! it’s a Lowe with the price of a Lowe!

    • Wow…you got a special offer AND a monthly mission. NA server got…3 rareish tanks with massive gold bundles for 24h, and we still have yet to get a monthly mission.

      • My guess is that there is going to be something “different” this Christmas/Holiday Season.

        It is quite odd for WGA to “forget” the monthly missions, unless they actually have something planned.

  3. Giving info to the police wont solve anything in 99% of the cases.
    1. They wont lift a finger, as it is too hard to investigate online game chat and they are lazy and stupid
    2. Most of those “hall of shame” are under age kids that cannot be prosecuted anyway. If grown person makes death threats over a pc game then he needs more help than prosecution. This is a sad human being, with many deep problems, that an online game behavior only scratches the surface of the iceberg. When someone wishes you to die and so on … just add him to the ignore list

    • 1. In some countries…

      2. That is the problem, lack of thinking that it’s a severe offense or even an offense – this makes many people show their inner self in the worst way. Sadly, not everyone is good, some can behave themselves and others don’t. Still, tolerating such behavior (and people in conseqence) is hurting everyone.

    • Then WG could do what another person, who in fact receives death and rape threats do: contact their mothers and tell them what their little shit is doing. Also warn them that the next step is a call to the police.

  4. Wargaming should act far more strict against these Threats like “EFE” and “UNICA” and other wanna-be-Pro-Clans issue (probably consisting of a Bunch of “No-meaning in RL Guys”) seeking for the WN8 Orgasm. If it is not working like intended, they dont feel any boundary of decency anymore. Just a confession of personal failure in Human Character!

    Send the Accounts of Players after the 2nd Case to “dev-null” (delete) after they insulted other Players in the Way “Hall of Shame” reflects. Or at least wipe their Garage! Words that threaten the Life of others and their Family – speaking of Holocaust and more, are beyond all Behaviour.

    To solve this, i use the Ingnore List often (to avoid in Garage insulting Attempts) or in the Game i have an extended Chatfilter, or even switched the Chat entirely off. I am not interested to read anything from the Kiddo-Douchebags at Home.

    • It would need to put certain players on “special” list and monitor their activities in all chats – a human being would have to check them regularly to have bases for bans.

    • “Or at least wipe their Garage!”

      I found that proposal, actually really good.
      For each insult, WG can delete one full X tier tank from their garage, or at least heaviest in the garage.

      • Wargaming should act far more strict against these Threats like “EFE” and “UNICA” and other wanna-be-Pro-Clans issue (probably consisting of a Bunch of “No-meaning in RL Guys”)

        Not arguing about the stuff they did nor am i defending such behaviour, but could you be more ignorant and bigoted? Btw i find this hilarious http://i.imgur.com/x2d0ohf.png

  5. When facing this kind of behaviors, you have 2 choices :
    - You don’t care, because it’s just a big mouth, probably not even 18 years old, with no way to identify you
    - You do care, because you feel offended or threatened.
    I don’t know how it works in other european contries, but in France, police may even try to tell you it’s not worth the trouble, to avoid this kind of investigations…

    If, like me, you don’t care, troll them.
    Last time someone wished I would get AIDS, I told him I already got it, and that I resented his mother because of that…
    Each and everytime someone say “fuck you”, I decline because I already have a date tonight…
    Want me to get a Cancer? Looks like my son will be gemini… Are you scorpio? you sound like it….

    BTW : I love you polish people, always nice, caring and smiling, open minded… I can’t stand some of your local vodka brands, but I’m glad I visited your country. Too bad winter there reminds me of Game Of Thrones.

    • Thanks for a nice post. It kinda brings back hope in humanity :-D.

      I would like to add that more often than not I’m more offended by the lack of thinking skills of the offender than his actual message. Why does it always have to be cancer/your mom/polacks/Nazi/etc. Why someone wouldn’t just wish me my dick being eaten by a hamster or to lose a job. Ffs I demand to be offended in exclusive way not this copy/paste nonsense.

    • I think same issue is with Polish police and in other countries as well. You can just hear: it’s not worth, i’ve got other job to do (putting finger to his own nose).
      When on chat somebody wants to fuck my mother i always answer: You must be very desperated man if you want to fuck 60+. But if you want I can ask her maybe she will be interested to be enjoyed by a young stallion ;)
      I always wanna see their face after answers like that. It be priceless :D. Sometimes when i see some good riposte on a chat than i can’t focus on a game and just laughing how people insult each other.

    • I agree overally but would add my 3 cents.

      The target of insluting may actually be people of different age, culture etc. You can’t expect kids not to care in example cause they are too young to differ things on social level. Cause internet gives an anonimity not only to insulter but also a to his target he has no clue who exactly his target is. And here is the place where social awarness (or rather lack of it in most cases) kicks in. So not caring yeah it’s personal solution for people who are smart/old enough to understand processes in society.

  6. Let the witch hunt begin. SilentStalker is effective like Reich Minister of Propaganda in getting all the tomatoes rallied for righteous fury against the badmouthed unicums.

    :popcorn:

      • knowing that those people who “insult” pubbies and make it to the hall of shame get gold rewards from their clans, really makes we wonder how serious they are :D

        and while i also rage ingame i try to stay away from the racism and just insult and laugh at the tomatos struggling to press “W”.

        gg ez

  8. It’s another bullshit philosophy in the Recent – that Players from Poland should be worse than others. I’ve never been to Poland but i know some Guys from the Game,and many are very very good Players! It’s just cheep and disrespectful – these insulters would never have the balls to say that in thier Face – they just do it, because its possible in the anonymity behind the Nickname and hundreds of Kilometers away behind their PC. Miserable..!

            • An Italian was Salo? Did they make Salo out of him? Next you’ll be telling me Borscht isn’t the Ukrainian national dish.

            • It’s pork fat, usually from the belly, served sliced. They eat it in Ukraine as well. I guess you’re young or something?

              • Yeah I wish I was young :-D. It is the name you used made me confused. We have no such word as salo in polish dictionary. What you are describing can be either smalec (pork fat similar to butter) or łuj (if you would eat that I would be impressed).

                I have to add that after few trips around Europe I really enjoy our food. If you will ever visit Poland try polish sups. Ogórkowa and Żurek especially ;-).

                Have a nice day.

                S.

                • If you’d just take as much as 30 seconds of searching on google, you’d find an English article on Wikipedia, named salo… Now if you’d change the language to Polish, it’d redirect you to a page about “słonina” :)

                  Also its soup not sup.
                  Not trying to be an ass pointing out mistakes, just trying to help.

                • @SidewinderPl

                  Thanks for clarification. I’m on mobile so I checked only Google translate and it didn’t found any matches. So I was quite sure this was some kind of spelling mistake. Yet it was me who made one (or more).

                  Thanks
                  S.

        • True, but they ruined it with Witcher 2 already.

          Press X very very quick to get that catapult ready and fight off four waves of clonetroopers between it.

    • Inb4 banhammer: it’s exactly this attitude we don’t want to see anywhere, in game, on forums in comments. You think that… Actually, you do NOT think, you have problems with perception, hollywood death differs from real-life death.

    • comments like these leave me wondering how we are ever going to progress in the global community, people like these who think like savages with nothing more than contempt for their kin, makes me question wether or not we deserve sentience.

      perhaps we are too stupid to truly be kind.

      • Nope. I think we just didnt have a war long enough for people like these to live in their comfort zone rather than being cannon fodder. Very socially darwinistic, I know, I am however convinced their real life wn8 would be quite low (dont enjoy dark humor? Please move on).

  10. Funny. Garbad was ROed time after time for artyhating/BMing pubs on forum/general shitposting/Good posts that got moderated4fun, etc., but not permabanned, until he made a post about re-addition of Stalin inscriptions. Guess that DID come from RU office, eh.

    • He even got an RO for 30 days for posting an official WarGaming link in the US forums. Apparently, WG stuff can be considered nationalism/racial supremacy. It would be funny, if the episode wasn’t a clear attempt to ban him for nothing.
      Not to mention the ROs for “hard to read post”. Strangely enough, the guys who were also douchebags to Garbad never got any kind of penalty. Double standards….the usual WG way to deal with things.
      US forum moderators are terrible. They can do whatever they want because their names are kept in anonymity.

  11. “All it takes, is one person to be willing to spend an evening on the police to do it.”

    Try it in Portugal, I dare you, I double dare you. (they be like: what drugs are you on)

    Anyway its just an in-game chat. Who cares? Even the private chat threats are pointless, made of pure rage and by underage kids. Its all forgotten after a few battles.

    • There are many anti-bullying laws that has forced the police to do something. This of course varies from country to country.

  12. ” however it’s most likely shit clans like UNICA and EFE will never appear in an official WG article or contest due their behavior. ”

    Oh the severe penalties handed out by WG! It’s the middle ages with torture and starving to death in a damp dungeon cell all over! ISIS beheading people is modern and tame compared to that! How can WG do that!

    • I was in EFE-X for a long time and no one in either clan gave a shit about appearing in Wargaming media. Most Clans of any note have no respect for Wargaming anyway.

  14. This just highlights how toothless Wargaming are. These clans do not care about appearing on Wargaming related media, most of them think very poorly of Wargaming because of the extremely poor balancing, lack of clan tools and the rather archaic CW system.

    But the sad irony is, these clans are just few hundred people, the number of people who sperg out abuse in World of Tanks is in the 10′s of thousands. Like DOTA and LoL, World of Tanks culture is toxic but it’s 100% Wargaming’s fault for fostering that rather than stopping it in it’s tracks early on. They don’t penalise players who are extremely abusive – at best they give a chat ban. Players are simply not scared of Wargaming coming down on them. They’re more concerned about team killing because that actually has game related consequences, a chat ban means nothing.

  15. To prosecute someone for an internet death threat is just stupid and if you are the one going to the police office, you’re a terrible person because you damn well know what’s going to happen to said person. If you take ‘death threats’ in an online game serious, there’s something wrong with you. The irony of post 9/11 is that terrorists attacked Western freedom, and instead of standing up for these values, freedom is being taken away bit by bit. The guy in America SS is talking about was (at the time) 17 years old and could face 20 years in prison. It’s absolutely disgusting, the parents of the kid who was ‘threatened’ should be ashamed, that kid has no future left, because he said something every teenage boy sometimes says in online chat.

      • +1
        Whoever takes death threats seriously in online games is the retard. I mean how can you get scared? They cant know where you live, whats your real name or what you look like. They only know the name of your game account.

        And seriously if you get butthurt by anything someone says to you in online game, then please stop playing.

        • I make fun of people that try to rage at me. Meanwhile when i rage, i simply close the game and do something else till i’m calm. But taking death treats seriously is less retarded than the person that says those threats… How fucking dumb do you have to be, to break a law and expect the other person to do nothing?

    • I don’t really give a flying fuck. And so does most of the people here. If you are stupid enough to do something like that, you have to deal with the consequences. I am quite a calm person, yet even i can rage over things. But i am not stupid enough to start writing to people and insult them or even write death threats. That is just pure 100% straight idiocy. If you are angry, go on, scream, shout, destroy your own stuff… But NEVER EVER BE STUPID ENOUGH TO INVOLVE OTHERS INTO THIS! It’s the kids own fault he can end up for 20 years in a prison. Games threats are like mail threats. If you think it’s that hard to track an IP to a certain address, think again. And people killed for more trivial reasons, than a game…

      • So basically taking death threats in online game seriously is a sign of being something wrong with this person. And making such threats is not?
        Seriously such thinking is a good sign of nowadays people morality.
        And please do me a favor (and do it in a civilized way) and explain in example 10 year old kid ‘I kill you father’ not to take it seriously…
        So yes you can expect some people not to take threats seriously, thing is you never know if you actually insult a person who is able to do so.

        • If you’re talking to me, then you’ve misinterpreted my text. If you’re talking to the person i’ve responded to, then you should reply to him.
          Assuming you’re replying to me, then i’d like to clarify this. I’ve said, that it is stupid and retarded to make death threats. And if someone is saying that it is retarded to take them seriously… Well not as much as making them! At least in my opinion. You have to both know when the threat is made seriously, and when it is made by a moron. Of course not everyone can see the difference.

          Anyway like i said, if you threat someone with death, wish someone AIDS, Cancer or something, then well… You should face the consequences yourself. And i don’t give a shit if you are a 50 year old dude with nothing to do with his life rather than insulting people in a game, or a spoiled 10 year old, that should be kicked in the arse for doing so.

          Of course that is just to clarify things if you are replying to my post if not, then fine. It still could use some clean up after what i’ve wrote…

  16. Even though I’m partially against bullying in this game (some really deserve to be beaten with a spiked club), I must say WoT EU forum has very strict (almost Nazi) rules. I got 3 warning points for telling a guy (who insulted me in several posts) to find himself a local boxer to deal with his problems or, if he really wants it, he can even find me, basically to do whatever he wants, just so he gets of my back and I get points for issuing a THREAT?! I was like wtf, is this what is described as a threat these days? Real bias right there because that guy was some sort of famous player here on Balkan but, judging from his account, comments and his clan he is total douchebag! Just another unicum fag who likes to play a god and this forum moderator is no better!

  17. Yeah sure. I go to the police and tell them somebody flamed me and told me to die by cancer, ebola or whatever.
    Why do I have now the picture of Chief Wiggum and his invisible typewriter in my head.
    Nothing will happen! The guy probably even sits in another country. Call interpol! This pure bureaucracy will end this.

    Don’t try to fool anyone here.

  18. Right, I get it:

    A clan with a legal political opinion -) BAN
    A racist nazi clan -) IT’S COMPLICATED

      • A racist clan is definitly a clan, which gets fetured in EVERY hall of shame with comments like:
        “Go holocaust polacks”
        “die in Austhwitz”
        “go be soap at auschwitz”

        There are at least 20 individuals doing that on a regular basis, the clan leaders know about it and don’t really care. I have no personal conection to WW2 and I do understand people raging in WOT but this is just too much to be tolerated.
        I’m actually gonna ask WG directly, what they are planning to do about EFE.

        • It’s not the clan leaders jobs to police members behaviour in local chat. Besides, EFE is 100 people at most yet this sort of chat banter isn’t somehow restricted to them as the evidence shows. People talk like this whether they’re in a clan, in a good clan, in a bad clan or just not in a clan at all. The problem is people do this because Wargaming allows it.

          I’m not defending EFE, however you need to get this in perspective.

          • Well, we could argue untill tomorrow wether or not it’s a leader’s job to police members and we still wouldn’t get anywhere.

            Let’s take a different approach: would YOU want to be associated in any way of form with this venom spewing filth?! Would YOU like to be known a a member of a racist and/or fascist ‘club’, ‘clan’, ‘guild’ or ‘organisation’?

            Because I sure as hell wouldn’t. And I don’t care what the governing body does or does not do. I don’t answer to them. I answer to myself.

        • oh i see, so a piece of shit author of a marginally important blog of a marginally important mmo game is the one definieing racism just by featuring them in the marginally interesting article called hall of shame…

  19. the more i see you writing about insults at wot and you just targeting specific clans the more you show how close-norow mind,directed and stupid you are.
    if you are gonna do something about insults you should do it for the whole community and with this way you would have more people supporting you.
    claims that only specific clans write bad stuff is just show how jealous and butthurt you are.
    wargaming claims that he will target players that are in big clans and are playing at the current campaign(and not the others)show also that your contucts-friends at wargaming are also like you.
    so what i get from your posts at ftr and wot forums is that if you are clan-less or if you are in a clan that is not good you can insult as much as you like but if you are in a top clan its forbitten and you will have consequence in your real life.why you dont write about your friends or clanmates that insulting others but you dont do anything about that because you know them.show us more hypocrisy and sanctimony.
    now i expect you to erase my account at ftr like you did with the 2 previous ones.because you keep only what you like to hear.

    • I think you completely miss the point of figthing against insults.
      While it’s true that douchebags are everywhere (from bad to unicuum players), that doesn’t change the fact that douchebags on unicuum level are more visible not only due to their attitude toward other players but also simply cause they play better. As such they should be a role models of good behaviour for lower level of players community. The fact they do not realize such simple corelation between these things is their biggest problem, it increases even more cause they think they are target beacuse they play good not because they are douches.
      The top of community being healthy = healthy community, simple as that.
      And by the way I have never ever heard of unicuum clan kicking out members cause of douchebaggery. And even if you are able to provide an example to that, I can make a bet such people hadn’t any problem joining other elite clans.
      What I see more often tho is pretty nice people acting bad while platooned with some insulting morons (which actually makes things worse in this case cause instead of 1 idiot other ppl now see 3 of them from same clan, hence these clans being more visible)
      Being good player is something much more than clicking mouse and pressing WSAD at right moments. The sooner people like you realize that, the sooner ‘witch hunting’ will end.

      • all people raging =not problem
        one time unicum rages=everyone is going mad
        this is just hypocrisy.
        better players are just better players.they are not the Pope,they are not role models and ofcourse they dont have to represent good morality.that doesnt mean that they have to insult everyone,it just mean that they can do whatever they want as all other players.
        if wargaming wants to stop insults then they can just turn off the chat and make it available for preassigned ordes only.ofcourse they have to make some new ones so players can understand easier what teammates wants to say.
        they can also make private chat available only to friends.if someone that you dont know try to open a window a message can pop up and ask you if you want to recieve the message.you can click no and problem solved.
        general chat,clan chat and other channels can stay as they are.

      • ofcourse this just came to my mind,i bet wargaming have more time to think what is the best.but going in crusade against specific clans just because mr silentstalker have personal problems and in same time cover his friends and clanmates when they insult is just shows hypocrisy and falseness.

        • As for chat solutions I agree. With the rest of course not.
          “They don’t have to represent good morality’ part is as accurate argument as the one of bad players saying: ‘I don’t have to play good casue i play for fun’. It is exactly same way of thinking – it’s an excuse of underperforming. In first case socially in second case as an efficient player. Both are noobs but on different fields.
          And there is nowhere said that ‘all people raging = no problem’. It’s actually a huge problem. A problem that (if ever) should be fought on all levels. Good place to start such fight is where it’s most visible and where one could actually expect people to be more sophisticated intelectually than random tomato teen or even a kid (which, btw you can’t expect to act like adults but you could expect adults to not act same ways as tomatos)
          Completly different thing is, if fighting such things over internet (a place where people generally enjoy lack of any responsibility) makes any sense not only in WoT but at all.

          • nowhere said that all people raging no problem?
            when ss targets specific unicums and clans for a long time now we know what he is trying to do.if he had posts at ftr about general insults in wot and what we can do and not ”all unicums are bad insulting persons with no morality and efe is racist-nazi clan” i would support him.with this kind of view he is just an hypocrite.
            your comparison between morality-underperforming is just flawed logic.
            when you will open your mind and start accepting that bad players are not just kids and they can be players of any age and that unicums are not sophisticated and they are as normal as others we can start talking.
            you think that insults are more visible at unicums and spesific clans because mr silentstalker is doing his propaganda and made you believe that with all his posts here.
            i can play 2 hours and collect 10 screenshots about random guys insulting and wrting same things (even worse) as ”bad unicums and efe guys write”.
            as for unicums being role models.most of non-unicum players believe that unicums are just cheating,using premium ammo,they achieve their stats through clan wars and tank companies etc.they dont have any respect for their abilities and they just insult them and mock them.

            • And just to add something about players age: bad players are of all age – true. However 99% of unicums are adult. I hope you can add 2+2 :)
              But since we could argue forever and since there is as many opinions as people this problem will never be solved then. From outside pov – not being an unicum and not being SS fan (as you implied it) all I see is lack of good will from both sides or rather 3 sides as WG could have been a side here too.
              EDIT: Oh and the part ‘…then we can start talking’ implies you can only force solutions or discussions on your own terms. Maybe thats where the problem for both sides lies.

              • your perception tricks you,i am a unicum and i am member of one of those ”shit clans” as wargaming says.
                ofcourse i am not a fan of silentstalker,is anyone who can say i am a fan of silentstalker?i respect and i like his work and his site.i just dont agree with the way he try to handle the insult thing.
                you dont know how is to be on the other side.as i said,i can take and post so many screenshots in just one afternoon.
                bad players and bad clans are moking us way more than we do.but when we write something we are the ”bad” guys.
                try to see the insult thing in general and not think that we must target ”those people” and not the others.remove your labels from people and clans.

                • I guess you tricked yourself by reading wrong so i rephrase – from MY point of view (while I’M not an unicum nor SS’s fan) – NOT YOURS.
                  Furthermore you sound exactly like Xen :) so even if you are not him it’s easy to figure out which part of community you are from.

                  As for way he tries to handle things while I do not agree with some of his methods at least he is actively doing something. As for other side (unicorns in this case) all I see are attempts to counter these ways instead of fighting insulting thingy using your own methods (unless clan leaders pm people in their clans with warnings about insults which I highly doubt). And the fact it will never happen is such person would have been most likely excluded socially from that part of community.

                • yes i misread,i apologize for that.
                  (for some reason i can reply to my post and not yours).
                  methods like lets put labels on people with specific clan tags,lets do a propaganda by showing at hall of shame only specific clans and ”properly” coments to go along (knowing that my ftr readers will believe me) and then try to make a crusade against specific people and clans is not proper way to do something.this reminds me the way someone used back in the past….

  20. IMHO people are way too sensitive over such things. Personally I take internet insults and threats only as the raging of some butthurt losers, it’s not like it has anything to do with real life. No one is going to try to kill you and I bet at least half of those people talking about nazi in WoT barely know what nazi is, they are just spamming random insults and threats. I would just ignore them.

    • Or they actually think like that and their view is reinforced by others doing it as a joke or not understanding the depth of what they say?

        • Internet is only place where cowards can actually act more bravely than in real life so I guess 99% of internet threats in online games aren’t to be taken seriously. However I speak that as adult who understand how internet works, but there also kids using it also playing games like WoT and how they would react on such threats you never know.

  21. Nowadays its a sport for EFE to insult tomatos in such way.

    Why? Because of these HoS posts. They even admitted it, as SS started this “anti EFE campaign” in the past. SS isnt a saint, he practically forces them to do this, because he gives a shitton of attention for them. Its like reality TV! Do something unorthodox or stupid and you are famous.

    If you really care about that shit, dont feature it. Cant be that hard to understand. Deal with it in silence, not in public.

        • Indeed. But hey you have to give him credits for the intention to push the donations he recieves.
          All the red monkeys will give the white knight now some extra credits.

          • We all know SS is an attention whore and likes clicks on his blog(more clicks=more moni duhh) and what’s better way of getting clicks than HoS featuring EFE and Co. yet at the same time encouraging them to do it even harder.

  22. I honestly don’t understand how anybody can feel threatened, insulted or offended by any of these chat conversations. What kind of person do you have to be to take these things seriously?

    Are some of the more “severe” insults distasteful? Sure… so what? Stop being so stuck up and just laugh at them, alternatively troll them to watch them spin out of orbit in rage.

    • What kind of person? A Polish Jew who’s family was killed in a Nazi concentration camp? A citizen of one of the many eastern European nations where the population were routinely persecuted by both the Nazi’s and the Soviets?

      I guess you’re young but if you’re my age – 36 – you’d have a direct connection with the war just 2 generations ago. It’s a little different when your grandparents were alive for the first 30 years of your life, telling you exactly why war, nationalism, fascism etc. is bad because they saw it first hand.

      • my family member got killed on the eastern front of the war. polish jew lost a family member in a camp, i lost one on the battle. whats the freakin difference? everyone lost a family member somewhere in ww2. or you trying to say his family member did worth more than mine?

        • Where did you get that assumption from? The point was that if you’re one of the persecuted, especially if you have living relatives that remember it and can tell you of the horror first hand, you’re more than likely going to not have a nice reaction to some 13 year old trying to be clever on the internet by being a racist etc.

          And no, not everyone lost a family member. Why do I get the suspicion you’re not being entirely honest ;)

      • I see no reason to take that crap seriously for such a reason.

        Yes, I’m younger than you (23) but I still have living family members who experienced the wars and fought in them as well as multiple family members (4 of them) who were killed by the Russians.
        I grew up with the stories as well and would risk my life to defend my homeland like they did if the day comes.

        I still can’t see why I should take any insults on that matter or any other seriously.

  23. i never care about these people, havent been threatened by anybody but what can they do? most likely they are stupid kids, 5% is a retard grownup, they cant have access to your email-facebook etc…
    world is full of oversensitive people

  24. Just cant wait for this nazi/insulter bashing mod to backfire in SS’s face as it will get copied/ripped and abused for sure, targeting a different group of players, rival clans and spam reports all day long. All it takes is a handful of bot accounts. So another great idea!

  25. “For a society to move forward, it has to drag its shit behind it”

    that is the Right Wing and Communists, the Stupid, the Racist, the Homophobic and the Sexist, we have to drag them screaming forward, it is one of the costs of freedom and civilized development sadly.

  28. Who in the world cares about those no lifers from EFE and UNICA. FFS those people live the game, and have nothing to do better in their life than chase tanks on their computer screens. Think about that for a second.

    Going crazy in game is normal from time to time, when you are really into it, and the team sucks. But giving death threats, wishing people to die, and go all nazi on their asses, no matter if it’s “for fun”, is a thing that you need to get resolved at a mental institution.

    Go out, have a beer, meet a girl, don’t fap to virtual tanks all day.
