Dance Competition Advertisement

[Snyper22 15]

I find it a bit, how should I say this? alarming? that the advertisement for the clan dance on the Tanki home page says to form a clan or join an existing one and get free crystals... Now all of the sudden I have people coming out of the woodwork wanting to join, there has been a steady increase of people in our clan for several weeks, but this is much more than the normal amount of requests,,, I wonder,,, what was the advertiser thinking??? We are, as well as others I'm sure, trying to form a serious and competitive clan, now we are going to have people request to join if for nothing else only free crystals???

 

I would like to see what other clans have to say about this, and people in general.

 

Thanks...

As a HC of a clan, I have to agree with you. So far, since the contest has started, we have had a couple of queries about joining from people applying just to get the cheap crystals, and also someone has left our clan simply because another clan has a greater chance of winning the competition - and it's not even as if we're a very big clan, in fact most people wouldn't consider us as a clan at all.

 

I have to agree: the clan adverts do deteriorate the quality of clans.

 

However, whilst they do deteriorate the quality of clans, at the same time these "ads" are necessary. A clan contest is cool, and any contest without a front page advertisement would be no contest at all, and Bruce hardly tells people "you must join a clan, any clan". He simply tells people how to join a clan if they want to enter the competition.

 

And, if you really want to know whether people are serious or not, you can do lots of measures to make sure that people care. A simple thing such as "why you want to join the clan" in the application form may be good enough (where you decline any pathetic answers), or even a "part-member" status where you accept people and then re-consider their application in a week or two to see whether they are really clan material and can become a full member, with added privileges that you make: fighting in clan wars could be one example; part-members cannot fight in clan wars or anything else.

I just did not accept anyone new in the clan until after the competition.... simple solution.... :D
