G'day everyone. My name is OIdwildy.
Now that I've baited you in with my topic title, let's talk about EF.
They're a sh- lol nah just trolling, this topic is srs.
While I was reading topics and thinking a bit, I found a nuisance.
There isn't a single clan I like anymore!
Every clan I see here that has the potential to do big, play in a mature and fun way with other clans get demolished by their own immature member base. 13 year olds getting baited too soon, forgetting to turn off profanity filters... the list goes on.
When a clan is featured in another clan's topic, some kids jump on it to defend their clan. Nothing wrong with it, until it gets out of hand.
And since the mods can't just close every topic for us, and have to hide 80% of the replys anyway, these flames keep getting out of hand.
As a great man once said;
This is all too truthful. The biggest reason for this are aftermath topics. I admit to being part of the blame, but let's stop pointing fingers and start rebuilding this community.
What is my proposition?
To give the Clan Leader rank on purewarfare semi-mod powers.
No, I don't mean give Inu the power to mute TH members (- what? He already has that power? Bias.)
What I want to see is clan leaders have the power over members of their own clan. When one of your own members goes out of line, you don't give him warn and let his comment keep fueling the hate, no, the clan leader himself can just 'hide' that reply, or mute said player for a certain ammount of time. This will keep your clan looking mature and Zen, instead of a bunch of butthurt crybabies.
I'd also like the Clan Warfare section to get cleaned up a bit. Topic makers (LULZ ME- nah, just keep the power with the clan leaders) should get the 'power' to hide replies. Yes, it's bias. But way too many topics get off topic as soon as a person from a rivalling clan gets on it; even if they weren't featured. And fanboys jump on haters, and the hatred continues.
If you have a different view on what happened on the fight, and you can't express those feelings in someone elses topic, you can just make your own. And opposing members won't be able to flame your topic. Everyone happy. And so everyone will become one big happy family again.
Will this solve rivalries? Nope. Rivalries are needed; it gives both clans a purpose and a reason to get out and kick some ass. A reason to train and grind this game called 'scape.
But the Hatred between clans is what should be fixed.
Nobody is forcing you to get on friendly base with members in opposing clans, but just interacting in a polite or mature way with fellow gamers could be a real great experience, because face it; your clan isn't the only one with a great memberbase with some serious clanpride.
