Look, I thought it was reasonable because I hoped it would turn the rest of the forum users against the leak source.
Everyone getting locked out for a week should… hopefully have the chilling effect I’m looking for?
You’re right. The people posting classified materials to a game forum for clout would absolutely hate if everyone knew they were posting classified materials because they don’t want clout
Yeah I’m sure Warthunder DOESNT want that to happen. They are a Russian company after all- I’m sure they want people to STOP posting classified documents of western vehicles!
Considering that they’ve basically said everything to stop the postings aside* from threatening to ban people from the game, I’d say they actually don’t want the posts.
*They’ve said they will never used the leak material for game design purposes, and they also cooperate in the prosecutions of the leakers, IIRC with the nato/western leaks.
If you’re a Russian spy op you don’t give a shit about using classified docs for improving the game, and once you trick an idiot into giving up classified docs why wouldn’t you cooperate with authorities. It’s not like you give a shit about some dumbass US airman or that you don’t keep copies. If the they didn’t cooperate they wouldn’t have a chance at getting the next 15 leaks after the first one. You would have to be a fucking idiot to not cooperate and keep the classified docs rolling.
I’m not saying you’re wrong, I’m saying the logic you used to come to that conclusion is deeply flawed.
The reason the statement to not use them for game design purposes matters is that that is often the reason users post the documents. They’d have likely provoked more leaks if they’d stayed silent on that (even though it should be quite obvious).
Though also regardless of what gaijins intentions are, I’m sure at this point russia has someone watching new war thunder forum posts 24/7.
I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again:
Lock the entire forum into read-only mode for a week, and plaster the leakers name on the front page as the reason for the lock.
why shouldn’t warthunder instead just give them some in game currency as a prize instead.
How does this get any upvotes? Bots? Shills? Oh both, well damn…

Some people just like the easy answers.

Why would they, whoever “they” is in this instance?
That’s how you get weekly leaks
