Clan sub-forum parth in forum

[Ithilis_Quo]

Hellou, i god idea that is total ussles for 90% clans, but can be usefull and interesting for 10% others.

And that is give clans place in forum with secrete room, where access will have only clan memeber and will be invisible for people who are not parth of clan.

i suggested this before. Reason for me was uef clan is not organized and people are from all time zones. To create a team for a tourney like this 4v4 lately is impossible since i cant sent messages to anybody. I was able to talk to them when online they told yes maybe will be here, and then havent seen them online again chat. Communication is a problem for us. I dont want to create a system seperate from faf where people have to sign in. The clan app was already a great thing. Maybe inside the clan app could be created something like a small forum and a place to add a message of the day for the clan channels inside faf.

people told it will be not used. possible ....

i mean....
yeah sounds like a nice idea

I'm sorry but this is a bad idea.

First off we'd have to give one to every clan that wants one or at least create strict requirements for getting one such as having x amounts of members and having been active for y amount of time. Secondly we'd have to either manually add every clanmember to their respective forum or set up a usergroup for every clan and let the clan leader sort out adding his members to it. The second method takes less effort but since it's likely that people have never used there groups before, it's also likely that we'll have to teach them how to do it. Lastly I suspect that these forums would be used rather overwhelmingly compared to the effort it takes to set it all up and in the end there's a bunch of dead forums nobody posts in when you can easily create a free forum for your clan yourself if you really need one.

And to really nitpick I'd say it would also make a mess of the interface for anyone who can see all the new clanforums and usergroups but even if we disregard this the points above still stand.

A game I used to play a very long time ago had this and it worked out very well, they're still up from the looks of it http://forum.toribash.com/forumdisplay.php?f=97. I'm not saying it would work here though, but I don't know.

This was particularly relevant when the Galactic War was operational - and in UEF GW team we solved this by creating our own private forum. It was not an ideal solution, and the FAF forums would be the more appropriate place for this sort of thing.

I'd like to see sub forum spaces made available to suitably large sized clans. It could not however be totally secret - as I understand that moderator access would be a requirement when operating on FAF. I understand that it might be an administrative headache. But this sort of communication is sometimes essential for the effective functioning of a clan. The only other solution is to resort to the creation of external forums to have a private conversation space - or otherwise the ability to send private messages to a member list who identify as being in the same clan.

Legion, i dont fully understand what is problem with it. Moderators dont need do nothing more as add clan leader ability to create clan subforum and manage it. Clan leader will send rights clanmates to be parth of it or manage it. Same as there exist secrete balance team subforum or balance testers subforum. How hard it was to crete it? 5minute? I will bet that less.

It dont must be from start to every clan, most of clast will never ever use it and will never ever ask for this posibilities.

there's a bunch of dead forums nobody posts in

this is non valid argument because this sub-forum will be invisible for everyone else so dont bother none when have shitons of subfurm that none use - noone see them. Also there is a lot of code on webpage, but we dont see him. Why should moderator bother themself to see this clan subforum? To clean racistic and agresive maners that clanmates use in internal discusion? Is also some moderator on teamspeak or skype talk to be total political corect and secur good maners? No isnt. Dont need be also there. This will be clanleader (and other pearson who he will give the rights) work to clean and manage own subforum.

This wouldn't be entirely correct. A forum which is being hosed on http://www.faforever.com would need to be moderated by duly appointed FAF moderators. To only way to avoid this is to create your own forum on a different domain.

For which reason interval conunication that is invisible for everyone esle need be moderate by 3th person?

Make totaly no sance to me.

Clan have also Clan Chat on FAF obviously whiteout any moderatoars
