This just made my plan a lot more difficult :(
But whatever, we'll see how it goes.

Hopefully this works for the best.

I got three more questions on this.

How will this system work? Does it work by VM/PMing a moderator to ask and see if their clan is fit to be a veteran clan? Or is it discussed between the staff without asking about their clan? Do all requirements need to be fulfilled?

I disagree. The majority of users that are looking for a clan are likely to be new to the forums as well. A large, main heading is more likely to catch their attention than a sub-forum, and so one would assume that the less established clans would actually gain their first perusal. After all, look at the number of people who completely ignore stickied threads!

Nice idea

Great idea! We have a section of our own that isn't congested by spam, etc.

Thanks guys =]

I would've preferred the introduction of a minimum post limit rule (like 500) before someone can start a clan to control the number of fail clans being formed, rather than have a divide.

Also, if we're to keep the sub section then I think the new clans should've been put there, leaving the veteran's in the main clan zone section. This is so that any 1st visitors to this section are presented with the established clans first.

Just my opinion.

yea but there are clans out there that would qualify as "veteran" clans, yet are not found here on these forums. Say one of those clans decides to come make a thread here, they would be turned down because of a post count rule. I like the idea of a sub-forum, although I got to agree I would have rather had the newer clans in the sub-forum not the vets

I think this section should have had the new clans and the original section for established clans...in my opinion.

Edit: Saw Bash posted near enough the same. I agree.

So, in other words, this finally draws the line bewteen noob clans, and...basically clans that have a chance at succeeding...?

FYI Maniac has implemented a minimum 300 posts to create a clan thread.

I disagree. When people first visit this site, either they are new to mkwii or are a strong player that knows of the good clans out there.

New people will like to look through the new clans there which will help them join never clans helping them move ahead to the veteran section. Think of it like 'impulse buying' first thing you see catches your eye

If clans want to he moved to veteran, they will contact a mod and me/thino will look over their thread/members/site/war record. We can get a good picture of whether they are a stable clan or not
