Closing all unofficial clans

[r_AdvocatusDiaboli0 861]

Let's see what the people have to say. Kindly leave a comment

 

Should the forum moderators close the unofficial clans? Discuss.

[skitee 555]

I thought they would do it immediately, so I didn't join the unofficial clans and instead scorned them.

 

However, as weeks went without them being locked, I thought the mods tolerated them and thus joined them as I would an official clan. Locking them now, would, in my opinion, be hypocrisy. As well as annoying to me. Because right from the start they were obviously against the rules, but you are only locking them after two months!? That doesn't seem right to me. Now, it is too late. Maybe lock all NEW unofficial clans, but leave NeXus, IronClads, and C00ki3s would be my opinion on the matter.

[husto 474]

yes, well, it depends on the clan.

I wouldn't never close a ''almost official clan'', well we should look at the ranks of the clan (doesn't have to be a noob leader).

 

actually a clan is made to be official as I know, so.....

 

close yes the unofficial clans that are really pointless

(examp: low rank leader)

and don't close clans with a good leader, almost major.

ther's really no point on making such thing when the requaierments say different things.

noo way

kool my inbox is flooded with messages from the_killah saying OMFG ever since i said your closing the clans

 

 

*koolwalky said this in chat a week ago and he only made the topic now!?!*

[r_AdvocatusDiaboli0 861]

I got those messages too swordfish ))

 

Reasons for closing Unofficial clans:

 

1) The leader will take a long time to rank up.

2) The clan is dead.

3) The clan does not have enough members.

4) The clan is in a violation of the Forum Rules.

 

Acceptable? Feel free to suggest other reasons.

[skitee 555]

Yep kool I agree with that much.However, my point is this:

 

-Unofficial clans should have been closed ages ago when it was apparent that they were breaking the rules.

-They weren't, for whatever reason.

-Now, it would be hypocricy to close them as the mods gave the impression they were fine.

-End of story.

IMOP, it's never too late to close a clan. However, I don't think that all the unofficial clans should be closed. In terms of what I know about the Ironclads clan, it's unofficial, yet has avid, enthusiastic members, who come to the xat and contribute on the forum. It would be wrong to close a thriving, growing clan in which there are participating members.

 

If a clan is dead, of course it should be closed. Why leave it open for some random person to bump it months after the last post? However, I think there should be a policy, in which an unofficial clan must have a member(s) who is/are close to becoming a major. (i.e. a Lieutenant) This could help prevent (I hate to use the word) noob clans from popping into existence like mushrooms, since higher ranked players wouldn't want to become part of a clan led by a low ranking player.

Close all unofficial clans? What?!?

 

I was getting pretty excited about our Iron Clads clan. Now, you mods have to stop the fun and close all unofficial clans.

[r_AdvocatusDiaboli0 861]

But we cant just have unofficial clans running around like hack reports.

[r_ELain_3S0 17]

Lol, so hackerz=unofficial clans :lol:

 

Btw, as now there are 3 unofficial clans, Cookies Nexus and Ironclads, none of them should be closed since they got quite much members and not too much lowranked. Just give new clans an "expiring date" like standard ones (1 week to get 10 memebr).

Agree with that.

An expiration date is a really good idea actually. That would solve all the "one-member" clans.

[r_AdvocatusDiaboli0 861]

All right, then what about a month time for the clan leader to become a Major? That'll be good? For the newer ones, not the current ones.

[trevor3t 40]

Close them they are annoying xD

[chriswu 25]

If the leader has to become a major in a month, what's the point of an unofficial clan? I think the worthiness of an unofficial clan should be based on members, not rank.

There were never supposed to be unofficial clans, The first one appeared because the leader was a day away from Major. Then cookies appeared with a newbie rank and thus the whole clan system fell apart.

[r_Xenonzx0 10]

so let the clans with Majors be official

ie Iron Clads

I know. And the mods didn't close it immediately, thus showing that they tolerated Unofficial clans. As the months went by without any more being closed, then I was sure that Unofficial Clans were tolerated... And I joined one. To close them now would be too harsh imho.

[Lhamster 4,081]

I actually think that the rank limit on being a clan leader is stupid. Why should only the high ranks be able to start a clan and have fun together? Lower ranks want to do the same and I can't see any good reason why they shouldn't be allowed. Being in a clan teaches loyalty, friendship, working as a team etc....

 

I agree on the other clan rules e.g, need 10 members within a week of starting. So my opinion is that if they are just like an official clan execpt for the rank requirement, then they should stay.

@kool pls delete the foum post for Nightmare Chaos(its under off topic discussion) but we hope u ll allow us to reborn it once we ranked to Major

[Rottin 55]

I would like to have the clans stay. I like how they work. We should be able to make noob training clans to prepare them for real clans, and the rest of Tanki! That is basically what the unofficial clans are for, preparation. Maybe we should have special rules for unofficial clans too though. Like, a requirement of staff sergeant to make a clan. If we are making changes, they should be for Tanki 2.0 in the forums.

[N-Tanker-Sg 0]

oh ya kool i forgot to tell u but aft u delete Ñightmare Çhaos forum post we still will be recruiting ppl via PMs to me or via our site http://www.wix.com/amarcelt/nightmarechaostanki#!

the members we recruit wont be going to do the official clan stuff yet like waring other clans and all that juz getting to know and interact with other members and oso help get a gd and strong number of players so that whn we "officially"become a clan we are already quite gd and ready for other clans (*we ll only recruit if the forum MODs are ok with it)

[applecome 1]

I believe all unofficial clans should be closed. The leader should make a clan only when he has acquired the rank of major. Also, official clans should get rid of members under 3rd Lt. Let's make the clan system like it was intended to be. A clan is where experienced tanki players come together and compete. If all clans followed rules the english clan forum may one day look like this. http://forum.tankionline.com/forums/show/38.page
