Clans Etiquette
Posted: Thu Dec 05, 2013 6:07 pm
Every forum needs it's own set of rules, so does this one. Let's start from the basic ones. I highly recommend that you read this before posting anything here.
- 1. Creating a thread for your clan
Creating a clan is something that takes time for you to think about what you wish to write and what you want to represent. This mostly refers to useless threads such as:Deucebag wrote:We are snipr elite pls join us!!!!! WE RECRUT!
If you are not willing to put a time into creating your clan, you shouldn't be here. Don't post threads like this, your thread will end up being locked as it will be a waste of space. If you are actually willing to make a good clan, but don't know where to start from or what to write, please read this. There you can read basics for creating a clan.
Note: You are allowed to have only 1 thread for your clan.
2. Invading Threads
Now, this is what many people do. There are many motivations to go and post on someones threads. Discussing events, matches and having a friendly chit chat is allowed and we support it, you can even write a positive encouragement. Many people like to come to someones thread that has just been created and write "What kind of clan is this, you don't have this, that, blah blah". Do not do that. If you wish to recommend something to that clan leader, you have a PM and it is a better method for giving critics / suggestions. Second thing that you shouldn't do is to publicly judge someone. For example, if someone clan hopped or applied to a different clan, don't post it publicly, PM the leader and let him do the rest.
3. Interfering into clans problems
Every clan has its own problems, and many of you take an advantage of it and try to derail the thread while clan is in a poor state. Adding fuel to the fire is undesirable and will bring consequences, so avoid doing it. You are allowed to interfere into discussion only if you have to say something that can really help, but again, sending a private message to someone is much more desirable.
4. Stick to the general rules
As the title says, stick to the general rules such as "Don't insult other people", "Do not do multiple posts, use edit button to add content to your previous post" and similar, basic rules.
