    Revised rules for Discord parity (see edit history)

    *** All the rules outlined here are subject to change at the discretion of the ArmoredLabs staff. ***
     
     
    - Use of offensive racial/gender/sexual preference/religion-bashing terms, harassment or other hurtful speech. If you use a word with racial overtones in your post name, that counts. Even if you find it a source of pride, the Web doesn't know what nationality you are. All it sees is racial slurs on ArmoredLabs.net.
     
    -- Hurtful speech is use of speech that only has malice without context (Harshly condemning someone without elaboration) or otherwise more meaningful purpose to the use of it (Such as meaning in an otherwise lighthearted manner)
     
    - Excessive use of profanity anywhere on these forums and Discord.
     
    -- This does not apply to the Venting Room except in extreme circumstances.
     
    - Spam and links to spam. If you want to advertise, contact us directly.
     
    -- If it involves the game itself, you do not need to ask to advertise but spamming the link/s across multiple threads even if it involves the game is still a violation of this rule.
     
    - “First Posts,” “nth post,” and discussion of them with no meaningful commentary.
     
    - Links to inappropriate or unrelated content such as porn, distasteful pictures, etc. People may read ArmoredLabs.net from workplaces or with children present. Some readers are children, in fact.
     
    -- This includes PMs, live chat and any other means of using the forum software.
    -- This also applies to public channels on Discord. If you want to share your smut, do it privately on Discord.
     
    - Nonsensical posts that have nothing to do with the topic, repetitive diatribes posted to multiple items, off-topic posts that hinder discussion, and responses to those posts. We ask readers to ignore such posts. It’s hard to keep the comments clear of them if several people respond to them and responses mix with actual commentary.
     
    -- These posts will be hidden as well and as often as possible to improve the flow of a topic. Additionally, should the topic of the discussion shift in a subforum such as Shenanigans, this rule will not be enforced heavily unless it is excessively disruptive.
     
    - Personal attacks and openly antagonizing other users or ArmoredLabs.net writers. If Ad Hominem is the only retort you have, you already lost. Just stop.
     
    -- People who both have a reputation for doing this and a pair of posters, including factions, cliques or other group of posts, constantly butting heads will be punished more harshly for their continual disruptions.This includes Extended ROs and moderation preview of all posts, up to and including permanently. You will not be explicitly warned when secondary enforcement of this rule is invoked. 
     
    - Double postings and “Sorry for the double post” messages. We will delete the double and the “sorry.”
     
    - Incomprehensible posts or posts in ALL CAPS. All caps posts are the equivalent of shouting.
     
    - Comments about post deletion, or thread locks. The proper forum for this discussion is a private message to the forum staff.
     
    -- Comments directly disputing actions involving ROs will be removed as well, if these actions are done while using an alt you will be subject to the rules involving ban evasion if you dispute the ruling publicly.
    -- Discussions of member sanctions are permitted in the Member Sanctions subforum in the appropriate threads.
     
    - There are a variety of sub-forums here. Please keep threads in the appropriate forum. Battalion recruitment belongs in the Battalion forum. etc. Threads determined to be in the wrong sub-board will be moved.
     
    -- Repeat/regular offenders of this rule will be placed under moderator preview until they show they can actually read.
     
    - No linking to software or advertising actions which violates Armored Warfare rules (i.e. botting software), this includes discussions that explain how to use glitches, exploits or any other bug to give someone an unfair advantage in the game. 
     
    -- If such a mod is discovered linked on this forum inadvertently, such as through a modpack, we strongly encourage the pack creator to at the very least advise us of this and to remove the link until such a time that a revised version is made available for use without the offending piece/s.
     
    - Discussion or speaking of selling ones account, as well as linking to sites that deal in selling accounts or advertising accounts for sale, is strictly forbidden.  
     
    -- Discussion of account selling as a generality is allowed but on a short leash.
     
    - Attempting to evade punishments will result in a permanent ban of your alt, and possible increase in sanction length for your main. Don't do it.
     
    -- Repeat offenders of this will be permanently banned on all accounts.

    Welcome to the ArmoredLabs forum! We are an unofficial community group for Armored Warfare, founded by players who longed for a communication and socialization platform that is separate from the official channels.

     

    This forum, just like our companion Discord group, is aimed to be a community-based alternative to the game's official Discord server. Discord is unsuitable for multiple discussions occurring at the same time, interesting and important information tends to be drowned out very quickly. Given that My.com/My.games have opted to shut their forum down, this forum will attempt to serve as a complete replacement. We also aim to serve as a hub of knowledge and experience for all players, with well-minded discussions and detailed guides addressing as many aspects of the game as possible.

     

    Our moderation policy is entirely separate from that of the official channels. Who you are, what you say and how you behave outside of this community has absolutely no bearing on how you will be treated here.

     

    Please bear in mind that this forum and its staff are NOT affiliated with the publisher or developer of the game in any way. We do not have any direct influence on the development of the game.

     

    Please enjoy your visit and stay for the cats (and company)!

    Replaced "dev" with "official staff". Sounds nicer. (see edit history)

    If any My.com/MY.GAMES/Mail.Ru employee or volunteer (colloquially referred to as "official staff") joins this forum, they will receive NO special permissions. They may receive a special forum tag upon request to indicate their affiliation, but they will be treated just like every other forum member.

     

    Anything an official staff says on this forum, unless they explicitly say otherwise, is to be taken as opinion or conjecture of the individual posting the comment and not an official stance from the company. Also, do not haze them, do not harass them, treat them as you would like to be treated by the company, they are people too, they just happen to work on the game.

     

    However, this does not mean you cannot argue, debate or otherwise not interact with them, the purpose of the policy to foster communication between the people who run the game and people who play it on an unofficial basis but also allowing them to make official statements for the purpose of clarity, brevity etc.

     

    As such, I welcome any and all official staff to join and participate here on ArmoredLabs, if nothing else but to allow an informal channel of communication to and from the playerbase of the game.

     

    Thanks!

    Greetings, newcomers.

    As this is the first place new people have access to, I'd like to go over a few things that will greatly enrich your time here.

    First of all, know that those who contribute to and moderate these forums are players who are dedicated to performance. We strive to play well. If you are a person who is an average tanker, or even a bad tanker, you are still welcome here. However, we have little tolerance for excuses. We welcome players of all skill levels who wish to improve their play. Blaming anything other than yourself for your failures will quickly get you removed. But if you want to get better, you will not find a more helpful resource.

    Bear that in mind when asking questions. Instead of saying something about some hacking invisitank killing you, ask how an enemy was able to kill you without being spotted. We know how the game works. We can help you know how the game works. We can help you be the person that makes other people run to the forums to cry about hacks.

    Grow a thick skin. If you're bad, we will tell you. We will likely not spare your feelings. We're not kindly old school teachers here, we're hard-ass drill instructors. We won't kiss it and make it better, but we will turn you into an instrument of death, praying for war.

    Keep discussions civil. Even unica have differing opinions. Irate posts will get nuked fast. Discuss and argue points. Leave the ad hominem attacks for the Official forums.

    Finally, remember that we all play for fun. Some of us just prefer that we have our fun at the expense of the enemy team.
