I think all the points and perks and delineations is vastly over complicating a relatively simple issue. I think we should solve the problem of meaningless and over-abundant clans.



Clans should compete for their existance. Have a forum-wide event where in the best 10 clans are granted freedom and are rewarded with their own sub-forums. This would be a fresh start and it would give meaning to the clan system again. Instead of an endless sea of pointless clans there would be only 10 elite, well known and well respected clans.


The criterion of choosing what the "best" clans are is a somewhat more difficult question, but I propose the following:


25% in game skill

25% overall influence (replays, mods, art, style, culture, etc.)
25% size and activity
25% Clan Staff Discretion
