Aloha,
I didn't see this earlier and wish I had.
So as a WeeGee employee, let me respond to you, though this post is locked, because quite frankly, I am seeing multiple forum violations going on.
1: Just because you say you don't see someone get chat banned, doesn't mean it doesn't occur. You can get chat banned in multiple ways. And as stated chat bans work in escalation depending on number of violations and severity.
Good rule of thumb, if you wouldn't say something to one of your loved ones, don't say it here or in game.
2: If chat is a big problem for you, SHUT IT OFF, we put that option into the game for a reason.
3: For the future, when other players, moderators or staff let you know you've violated rules or give you actual advice, it is better to take that on board and move forward than to lash out back at those people. This is true in game as well as on here.
4: If you were chat banned and feel it was unjust, as @ObiphanKenobi said, you can put a ticket in to appeal it. If it WAS unjust, even if it was for a short chat ban, the strike against you also gets removed. This is important, because if it happens again, whether due to trolling or actual infraction, your punishment wont be escalated.
And:
THIS IS NOT TRUE AT ALL. We don't just let threads exist for entertainment. There are over 3000 people roaming through and posting in the many forum threads here. And the number of mods we have and staff are in the single digit numbers. We literally attempt to read or moderate every single post. This is also why there is a "report" option, so if someone is getting out of line and breaking our rules, we can be prompted to this. This is also why I tell people to PM me or tag me any time they have questions.
Also our forum rules are below, AND quite frankly if you follow these in chat, things will go better as well.
Mahalo,
-Hapa
These forums are designed to be a fun and interesting place for the community to gather to discuss all aspects of World of Warships. In the spirit of keeping these forums a part of the World of Warships experience, we’ve established a list of things that are unacceptable to post on our forums.
While this may not spell out every possible item to avoid, use common sense. There are items that belong on a video game forum, and items that don’t.
The following items are not acceptable on the World of Warships forums. Violations of these rules may result in temporary, or permanent bans.
Excessive Profanity/F-bombs
Be an adult, excessive profanity does not help make your point.
Religious and Political Discussions
You’re free to feel how you feel about these topics, but an online video game forum is not the place for it.
Posting exploits/hacks
If you come across a bug, or a third-party tool that would otherwise impact gameplay, please report it using the appropriate channels.
Discussing the exploitation of game mechanics, or encouraging the usage of mechanics outside of their intended design.
Personal attacks
Stat shaming, personal attacks, threats, phrases that are designed to be offensive, or attack someone, etc. This includes intentionally trolling other users in your post or attacking WG volunteers, staff, or partners. Be civil.
Discussing moderation
If you’ve had a post moderated, please provide feedback in private.
Pornographic, drug, or other taboo or potentially sensitive content
These forums are not the place for this sort of content.
Remain constructive and on-topic
Keeping threads related to their topic ensures valuable discussions, this also related to ensuring your threads are housed in the appropriate sections of the forum.
“Necro’ing” of old threads or the excessive bumping of threads
Thread bumping for visibility is not allowed except for in the clan recruiting section which is limited once per 24-hour period. Players should also avoid commenting in outdated threads.
Bumping threads
If a conversation is going to get engagement, it will get engagement. Threads posted in Clan Recruitment have a modified version of this rule, please see the guidelines outlined here for more details.
Please note, we will update and amend these guidelines as necessary.
These guidelines are superseded by the EULA
Also, please note that abusing the reporting functionality of the forums is not only annoying, but it can also result in moderation actions being taken.
While we would like everyone to participate in constructive, meaningful conversations, we understand that this is the internet, and that probably won’t happen all the time. Our staff and volunteer moderators are empowered to use their best judgment when moderating a post. If you feel your post has been moderated unjustly, please contact @Hapa_Fodder, or @Kalvothe to discuss.
Be civil, have good, engaging, thoughtful conversations about World of Warships, and everything will be fine.
