Notice About Clan Forums

[Patrick]

Effective immediately on July 27th, 2017, the clan forums will be no longer. Instead they have been replaced with a forum clan system where each clan can have their own small section of the forums with multiple topics and calendars.

These clans will tie in with your in-game v4 clans when available but you're free to go ahead and try out the forum clans first and get yours up and running ready for v4.

 

Each forum clan will have a leader that is the original creator of the clan and they will be able to appoint separate moderators to help keep their clan section clean. This, however, is not essential, you can run it all by yourself if you like.

Unlike in-game clans, a forum clan will have unlimited user slots where you will be able to invite existing forum users to your created clan or you will be able to request to join someone else's clan.

Again, unlike the in-game clans, you will be able to join multiple forum clans for the ease of being able to communicate with everyone on the forums.

 

While this can be seen as your own section of the forums, it does not mean you can overrule the original global forum rules. These still apply to all clans created and will be enforced by the global moderators/administrators.

You can find the new clans section in the top menu of every forum page:

From here, you will be presented with the options of creating a clan or joining an existing clan.

If you decide to create a clan, the privacy of this clan is decided by you with the following options:

Public 

• Everyone can see the clan and its posts, and can participate without joining.

Open 

• Everyone can see the clan and its posts, but only members can participate. Everyone can join.

Closed 

• Everyone can see the clan and who's in it, but only members can see posts and participate. Users need to ask a leader to join.

Private 

• Only members can find the clan and see its posts. Users need to be invited by a leader to join.

 

This current clan sub-forum will be removed with all of it's content on August 15th, 2017 which gives everyone who currently has a topic here the chance to gather any information they need and migrate it to the new clan section.

 

Soon to follow this topic is the clan section rules outlined and a detailed guide on how to set up and run an effective forum clan.
