At least in the casual room, we can have clans?

[PHCC]

I know it sounds a little silly. But the players can make clans?At least in the casual room?

 

[Fawfulfan]

Sorry, I was wrong.

 

[Spazzo]

Please ignore fawfulfan's above post.

Anything under the sun is allowed in the casual room, so long as it isn't explicitly lined out in our rules. Clans are acceptable.

 

[Autosaver]

Yeah, in the Casual room. You can do pretty much anything.

I don't get why this would be banned.

The whole problem with clans is that they lead to nasty, exclusive behavior in the servers.

I doubt these clans are going to fight. This isn't West Side Story or anything.

 

[PHCC]

And in the standard room?
I don't see any rule that bans the clans.

 

[Autosaver]

If clans are just groups. (No RP)

Then I don't see why they can't be in the standard room either.

 

[Spazzo]

If by "clans" you mean "competitive teams that play against each other in SRB2" (similar to most FPSes these days), then there's nothing inhibiting them from playing in the standard room. However, if "clan" entails "group of people role-playing in a server" or "a mock family", then that's more suitable for the casual room.

EDIT: My apologies, I misread. Fixed.

 

[Cue]

Wait, isn't that what I just said? So it isn't wrong. :/
.... >_>
I doubt there are any mock families.

There actually are, or were, I remember people who regarded people as their brother and sister, there was a guy with an SRB2 family, can't remember his name though.

Hypothetical server:

Player 2 has joined the game (node 4)
<~Player 0> Hi
<Player 2> Hi
<Player 1> Hey, you belong to our blah SRB2 clan?
<Player 2> Huh?
<~Player 0> >.>
Player 2 has been kicked (Banned)

Where such server would be suitable? Standard, casual or both.

 

[Autosaver]

...and not by:

• Hosts who behave irresponsibly, or arbitrarily kick users from their game
• Clients who have a distasteful and/or self-praising attitude
• The imitation of any well known community figure

Not sure.. as it isn't a form of harassment...

 

[Spazzo]

We aren't accountable for hosts (ab)using their kick and banning powers.

 

[PHCC]

So ...... If the clans can exist in the game. Why do not create an area (in this forum or in some other specific site) for the listing of clans?

 

[frozenLake]

Yeah that sounds like a good Idea.

 

[Spazzo]

If we ever see that sort of need, perhaps. As of right now, I know of absolutely no SRB2 clans, and I don't see 50 of them popping up from thin air anytime soon.

 

[PHCC]

I'll specify: create an area for the "advertising" of already existing clans.
Thus, people would somehow instructed to enter or create a clan.

 

[Autosaver]

Yeah, but not many people don't have clans at the moment.

I also suspect that the staff might be thinking there might be 1000 clans with 1-2 users clogged inside.

 

[frozenLake]

Then have a requirement for a person to start a clan, like some members already joined, or a post amount (That is not SPAM)

 

[Cue]

In the future, we may consider retrofitting the vBulletin 'Social Groups' option for such concepts, or something similar. Perhaps. But for now, there's no real point, our community isn't big enough to warrant any sort of clan to form properly.

Go invite your intelligent, well mannered friends to join our community, I guess?
