I want to discuss something that came to my attention today. I have received several messages regarding the behavior of members:

"glad that you have guys that camp in a corner of the map, the whole game and do not shoot once or anything not sure how that makes this game better but thought id bring it to you attention. My real account is Betraya1 if you want to get ahold me."This was a PM.

"Real class act you have there in a Company Commander Rydan10..if he's an example of your clan, I doubt many will want to join."Rydan has since left the clan and I'm not denigrating him, just using this message as an example. This was also in a PM.

"Hi, I would like to make a complaint about one of you clan memnbers "bebedestroy", I was in a match with him earlier today and he was anything but a team player. I was in my t28 russian medium watching a corner in a town and he comes up behind me in his T1 Heavy and pushes me out into the line of fire of several enemy tanks and I was killed. If he were in my clan and someone complained to me about something like this he would be removed from my clan. I just hope you take approiate action. I did report him for "pushing out a teammate" but I don't know how much good that will do. Thank you for your time."
I am unsure of what has become of "bebedestroy," again I am merely using the message as an example. Thankfully this was also a PM.

If you'd like to see how a member of the 42-AD clan handles himself on the battlefield, check this out:

From replay comments:
My T20 was in the magic bush at Malinovka annoying a variety of enemy tanks as they assaulted the hilltop.
At 11:41 we were behind, 5 to 8. I'd delivered 508 HP damage, plus a blind fire pen.
I was hit from behind and a second later * of the 42-AD clan posted this chat to both teams "Our t20 is camping at f7".
Before I was spotted, * decided to rat me out. By that time I'd delivered almost twice as much damage as * managed to do in the whole game.
He also called me a [edited]. I do my best but I'm not that good.
Unlike *, I don't work to defeat my own team.This is new. This is referring to LukeTheEngineer, whom I know is an active member. This was also posted on our recruiting page, which is very unhelpful!
I do not wish for this message to come over sounding like I'm screaming.
However, I do want to make several things clear. I do not want any bad sportsmanship. I have watched the supplied replay. I do not want to be getting reports about players revealing team positions, insulting other players, or in any way being an embarrassment to the clan. I realize everyone has bad days and gets frustrated. However, the High Command (me), has to deal with this stuff. I will forgive all problems listed here ONCE AND ONLY ONCE~WorldWarGames
