Can you get rid of a pink flag?

[Emperor]

I accidentally rammed a guy. i am new to the game and found out that the pink flag means team killer. I am sorry for it, it was an accident. is there a way to get rid of the flag? everyone hates me in game.

The pink status will only last a few games if it's the first time. If you go pink often though, the number of matches it takes to lose it increases I believe. Note that this is with the current system. Version 0.7.4 will be changing the punishment system to include a new colour (orange) for egregious offenders, and a new punishment: temporary restriction to co-op mode only. Like the current system, the change in status is only temporary, and with clean matches you will eventually return to normal.

Edit: And try not to ram people so much, heh. It may not do much damage, but the system is cumulative, so even if the only ally damage you do is accidentally bumping and grinding from time to time, eventually you will hit the cap and be turned pink.

Also, don't let people get to you about it. If someone gives you a hard time, just tell them you're supporting a breast cancer foundation or something. You know you haven't been intentionally shooting teammates, so you shouldn't feel shamed about it. If anything, it should just be encouragement for you to learn to pay attention to your minimap, and your ally positions and courses around you. It takes time, but you'll get there. :)

Good, i figured it would go away at a point in time i just couldn't add up to when.

That was my introduction to being pink, heh. First week or so I believe it was, took my shiny new Vampire out (first time out with a DD period), and at some point wound up putting my torps into an allied DD that had swung around my bow earlier and was going in the opposite direction dropping his own fish into the cap. If I'd been paying attention to him, and not my torp aim indicator, I could have avoided the embarassment of sinking an ally, and still launched my own trops a few seconds later. Lesson learned.

i only use torpedos when i am very close to the enemy.

Yeah, that'll help someone avoid my mistake, along with learning to look before they launch. Unless I already know it's safe, I try to keep the habit now of always checking my minimap and surroundings briefly before launching torps (regardless of what ship I'm in), to ensure none of my teammates are going to be at risk of driving into them.

That said, it isn't an always thing, to launch your torps at close range. Area denial with a so-called "wall of skill" is a valid - if annoying - tactic in the game, as is launching into smoke or known camping spots at long range to flush someone out. So there are uses for blindly fired torpedoes, even if they're situational. And then there's the Asashio, but that's another bag of apples, heh.

Second tab of post-battle results should show how many battles without violations you need to complete to lift that status.

And with the new system incoming, you'll also receive an informative popup when your status changes, telling you the why's and how long you're in the doghouse for.

Yeah, that would be even more informative, before the info was quite scarce.
