Fair play for all

Good afternoon, developers of this wonderful game. Thank you for your work. On behalf of significant part of Russian-speaking guilds, we kindly ask you to clarify your official position on the following issues. Recently, a number of top-players from Russian guilds received permanent bans, which caused a wide response in the RU-community. Our entire community is committed to fair play. Fair play should be manifested in all its aspects and for all players, regardless of the nationality of players. The punishment of these players is clear to us and does not raise any doubts. However, in order to refute the rumors of discrimination against Russian-speaking players, we ask you to answer the following questions:
1. How many Russian-speaking players were tested for fair play?
2. Non-Russian-speaking players were tested for fair play? And if you can give as information about the results of these checks.
3. What was the reason for the fair play check? Were the high scores of Russian-speaking guilds in the guild war a reason for checks?
The lack of official information on these issues leads to rumors and speculation about discrimination against Russian-speaking players in the game. This makes Russian-speaking players nervous and increases the toxicity of other players to the entire Russian-speaking community of players, on social networks, including on the official forum. The Russian-speaking community confirms its readiness to follow the principles of fair play, we treat all players with equal respect. We sincerely hope that the official NextGames representative will answer our questions.
Comments
On behalf of the members of the Dark alliance, I, as a leader, support this appeal.
Sorry, you're right. I have corrected the text based on your comments.
Just to be clear, we do not run scans based on specific player demographics, such as the country you're in, only based on the thing we're scanning for - which could be exploits, cheats, botting or other forms of gameplay automation. Then if action follows, then it is applied to all those detected - if that turns out to be a specific guild, or group of players, it is just coincidental.
Thanks for the quick response. However, is it possible to answer exactly our questions. I can explain this position. Throughout the community, information was widely reported about the punishments of 5 players from one Russian top guild. This fact led to a decrease in the points of this guild for clan wars. Based on this information, an opinion is formed that all Russian players are cheaters. Therefore, obtaining at least a percentage (for example, 100 players were checked out and got 5 banned) would allow the leaders of Russian-speaking guilds to suppress inaccurate information. The lack of information that all players, regardless of nationality, are punished for violations of fair play, leads to the assertion that only Russians are cheating. This diminishes the achievements of all Russian-speaking players. Recently, there was unconfirmed information on social networks about players who were banned for manipulating the connection. Is this just a rumor or is it true? The answer to question # 3 is sensitive. Due to the fact that a hostile attitude towards other communities is formed in the Russian-speaking community. This opinion is formed on the assumption that other top guilds take the first places due to complaints about the Russian guilds taking the first places. Guild leaders cannot suppress this negative information due to the lack of official information. In order to prevent the development of all these rumors, the leaders of the top Russian guilds formulated these questions. If the answers to these questions do not violate any interests of the developers (commercial or otherwise), we ask you to answer them.
C'mon, presidential election in USA already started.
@Firekid is completely correct in what he said.
Its unfortunate that Russia will have this tag. But it’s deserved at present. Blame the minority who have ruined it for the majority. Don’t put it on NG for not providing you statistics. Are you banned? No, so who gives a F. As long as you know you are clean, that’s all that matters.
This is actually what we are talking about. The misconduct of individual players is projected onto all Russians. I am not asking for separate statistics on nationalities, I am asking for general statistics. To suppress rumors among the Russian-speaking community about bias towards us, it is important to know that everyone is being checked, regardless of merit and nationality. And personally, you demonstrate toxic behavior towards all Russians. @fluxxx pay you attention.
If ng were to share statistics on bans, that information could theoretically be used to backtrace and figure out which type(s) of automation were flagged. This could then be used to determine which type(s) of automation are currently undetected and remain under the radar. And that is why no game publisher should *EVER* release this type of information.
They weren't scanning for racist nazi hate messages in guild names. I really don't think anyone is out to get you for typing Russian in game chat.
You did it again LOL
edit: spelling
I think answer you get was pretty clear - they run scans periodically and they scan all. If you don't believe this, that's your problem.
It's very logical to me why players from same guild and community get banned. When you discover tricks like this and if you share with someone that will be inside your guild won't tell whole world.
So, don't pretend you don't understand anything and blame someone else. You need to distance yourself from banned players and show the rest of your group is fair, i believe that and never questioned.
Original post was great, but the way you all act in this thread will only make things worse
