Policies
For clarity and transparency, a number of policies used for moderation will be listed on this page. Most have been discussed on the discord channel, and are formed with comments and guidance from the community. If you have any questions, or would like to suggest new policies or changes, please participate on the discord channel.

Account Restoration
People are banned, from time to time, for community damaging behavior on Tank-Off. However, people can learn from their mistakes, and sometimes should be given a second chance. If you have a banned account, acknowledge and are remorseful for you past behavior, you can apply to be reinstated. The process is as follows:
- Inform the moderator (sasafrass/jjaquinta) on discord that you wish to be considered for reinstatement.
- The moderator will collect information from you, such as why you were banned and who can vouch for your good behavior.
- The moderator will find someone to be your "sponsor", who will support your case for account restoration.
- The proposal to restore your account will be posted on the discord channel, and people will have one week to discuss it and give their opinions in public or private.
- The moderator will review all the opinions and make a decision. This may be to unban you, keep you banned, or unban you with a penalty.
The questions the moderator will ask will be along these lines:
- Can you remember about when your account was banned?
- What do you think you did wrong that led to your account being banned?
- How is your behavior different now?
- What were the nicknames you used before you were banned?
- Who did you usually play with before you were banned?
- What other accounts have you used since you were banned?
- Who have you usually played with with those other accounts?
Remember that holding your account is a privilege, not a right. You do not pay for this game, and the moderator is not paid to do this. The moderator has the final say. Make it easy for the moderator.
Account Sharing
Account sharing is not allowed. You cannot "give" your account to another player. You cannot "loan" your account to another player. You cannot "exchange" your account to another player. Do not give your login or password to any other player. Make sure your password is secure so other people cannot easily guess it. Do not try to break into other accounts by guessing their password.
An account represents the skill and experience of one single player. If more than one person have contributed XPs to an account, than that account is shared. It is not fair to all the other players of the game, who compete as individuals for places on the leaderboards, if multiple people can contribute to the ranking of one account. It is not fair to all the other players of the game if you are playing an account that is a higher level than you have personally earned through your skill.
If an account is found that is being played by more than one person, it will be suspended, and all of the accounts used by any of the people using that shared account will be suspended. You can appeal to the moderator to have your account restored. The moderator will determine the degree of sharing, and there may be an XP reduction to remove XPs on that account that were earned by people other than the account owner.
If you know of a shared account, or see account credentials being shared, please inform the moderator. If you have any questions about this policy, ask the moderator.
Account Merging
Players who have more than one account may submit a request to the moderator to have them merged, subject to the following conditions.
- They may submit no more than one account per month
- The primary account may not have had more than 8 other accounts merged into it
- The secondary account may not have had any accounts merged into it
- If the moderator is not satisfied that both accounts are genuinely owned and exclusively played by the requester, the submission may be denied or reversed later.
Merge Calculator
This is an experimental Merge Account calculator. You can enter in the XP or level of each of the accounts you want to merge. Hit calculate. It will show you the average number of days it took to earn the xp in each account. It will then combine those days, and show you what level an account that would result from that many days worth of playing. Because it is easier to earn XP at a lower level, this will always result in a certain amount of XP lost. This is also displayed.
| Account | Input | XP | Level | Days | Loss |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Main: | 82,895,786 | 182 | 342 | ||
| Alt: | 53,321,658 | 146 | 220 | ||
| Combined: | 128,010,201 | 226 | 562 | 8,207,243 xp, 15% | |
PC Version
The PC version of the game has some problems and people can easily cheat in it. I think the game creator doesn't want many people playing it this way. So, it's best to just play the online version of the game for now. Enjoy!
