Too Many Clans

[HotFog]

I think the idea of clans is great.

I believe the current clan system however negates the purpose of clans. There are about 23 pages with 10 clans each (that's 230 clans) with only 1 player in each clan.

I propose that how clans work should be addressed, namely :

Anyone can start a clan as it is now but if a clan does not grow to a minimum of say 8 members or similar number within a week or similar time, it should be disbanded. This will contribute to the growth of clans and once the clans become substantial more can be done with them.

Your thoughts? And perhaps this motion could help to commence some activity in the clans arena - tournaments etc. which I imagine was the whole idea in the first place.

imho.

It would be better to set a limit of people in a clan so to not make a clan OP. Your idea is good, the time must be a month, not a week.

quality > quantity, no clans should not have limits

I had the idea of a "clan leader" avatar given to those who ran a clan with over 10? people to reward those actively running clans

Currently I investigate why member invitation is broken...
Instead of restrict clan creation it is easier to mark inactive clans...

[Iszh]

you all hate uef clan !

we are inactive and we are quantity > quality and a member limit would not be good for us

why does the high number of clans disturb you?

[Kalvirox]

Way back when in RS you needed 5 people to create a clan and then you picked a leader out of those 5, why don't we use that system but with like, 3 people?

I think it is the high number of inactive 1-4 man clans that disturb people if anything.

If you are playing FA with two friends and you want to be in a clan with them and no one else? Why should we forbid this.

That sounds not bad. Can you tell me more details? What happens if the 10. person is leaving the clan?

That is a VERY good point. The idea is not to harm but motivate the clan arena of the community. Perhaps there is a way to address these 2 guys.

I suppose what I am really debating is the apparent abundance of clans that contribute little to the community other than "nice to have". All I am looking at is the issues with what is stopping the community from using the clan system as a benefit.

[Myxir]

at the very least, a clan with just one person is unlikely to contain a player who wants to play with a friend.
i guess a minimum of two players should be needed to create a clan, and keep it existing, and some automated avatar system that gives fancy avatars automatically to the clan leader (and takes them away when the condition no longer holds) for 10/25 players would be great
