Outstanding opts TR, gratz on the win. Good effort TRWF.

Don't feed the trolls Dan, just report it. As for a new generation of clanners I see them easily corrupted into all the nh stuff, majority of the people who enter the clan world come from clans that set bad examples imo.

I recall awhile ago RJ doing quite well against DF, they out performed but still lost. (Back when we were in Res) I think they deserve some recognition and will continue to do well.

I'm guessing this was melee binds only? Regardless congratz on your TWR win and should be interesting to see where you end up in the future TWR ranking wise.

I liked the name Illusion but I don't think it'd be fair to re-use it. I'll manage with my current clan name.

Lol, Ily. 2 points.

I think it has to do with knowledge, once a few people start doing others want in, and it just keeps spreading. Others see it as well they did it to us so we'll do it back. As to the original question (Or main question) the reason the clan world isn't the same is more like the effort to join, wars are longer. In shorts the demands to participate just seem too high for the average scaper.

Downfall just reorganized their forums, although it's not a paid for site (Which I wanted >.>) I'm very pleased with the fast reaction of the staff working with their members to better the clan. This isn't the most influential thing for Downfall but I can't think of one for Downfall seeing as I just joined xD, but I do think forum activity will rise and more guests will enjoy the changes and overall forum activity/community will be good which is great for any type of clan. In Legacy, promoting Kyak to Leader was probably the biggest and most influential change for them. She brought hardwork and listening to the members for the most part, until the end when stuff started falling apart and having her as Leader kinda put them into a situation where they would close because she called most the shots and got a lil moody but at the same time they relied a lot on her.

I dont think people would talk about much more on them even if anything was "allowed" on them. Didn't mean it in the context to change that. :razz: Most people are lazy and only post grats. Tell me how it is different on RSC or any other clan discussion forum. It's really the same: most people post grats insertclanhere with the odd person posting something more creative. And from personal experience, sometimes when a clan wants to avoid problems they instruct their members to just post good fight rather than a more creative response. Wait, why do we have to be the exact same as every other clan board again? As to the part of clan officials telling their members not to post stupid stuff, it's just that- stupid stuff. Dandaman619 isn't telling people to go post [cabbage] on everyone's topics, he's asking for more creative responses. That doesn't mean trolling, therefore clan leaders shouldn't care. It's not about being the same as any other clan board at all. It's just the general way the clan community works. And what I mean by officials instructing their members on posting is that if there's a tough loss usually they would flame or something which could contribute what was said as "uncreative posting". I'm just saying that the majority of responses will be similar in nature. I'm just not keen on adding rules and regulations when there needn't be any. I say, if someone wants to post like that, let them. It will make those who actually put effort into their replies more noticeable. I do agree though, someone who just posts a :thumbup: should have their reply removed. If you have a mindset of going into reading a topic already knowing what you're saying, and that's the only thing you ever post on win topics then it's pretty dumb imo and should be discouraged. I'm not saying like set rules but something has to be said or done eventually. If not more and more people will do it and then our sense of community is worse than trollfests (IMO). If they are going into the topic with the mindset of similar posts of the form "Gratz" that's fine, it looks better because they don't say the same thing all the time. However I do expect to see more moderation against people who always just quote someone and add nothing else to their post. I try. Hopefully more clan world related topics rather than Tip.it Clan community topics will spark up.

And from personal experience, sometimes when a clan wants to avoid problems they instruct their members to just post good fight rather than a more creative response. You're not getting what I'm saying lol. You can't find too many people that type the same response just different clanname for every post. Even if they do it's a much larger community and others make it different. Here on tip.it though it's grown from a few to a handful and a handful in a small community begins to look really bad. Like I said before most people can afford 2 secs to spell it out differently or change a color add a diff emote. I'm in no way or form saying censor the words gratz clanname here or gf w/e you think im saying. It's when people start repeating the same thing over and over and over when it's annoying. If you're too lazy why post anyways? The avoiding problems argument isn't a good one, seeing as you don't lose everyfight, and let's be honest even if you did you would start to cause beef or defend why you lost or throw out some excuses. It's almost more of a problem/ argument against people who weren't in the war, those people need to stop being robots posting the same thing all the time, 99% of the time the people involved in the war will always type a mix of things instead of the same thing for every single war topic.

True, but the whole purpose behind posting war topics is to gain publicity, not to generate a discussion. Would it hurt to generate discussion on a FORUM? ...... NOT AT ALL. Also publicity feels much better when people are discussing your win more than reading messages that have lost value due to the person posting gratz saying the same message to everyone else just a diff clan name. Only real thing there is allowed to is to discuss the fight itself. Arguments/active topics only really happen when there is beef or disagreement with the result itself. When there isn't any of that, there really isn't any interesting replies. You're still avoiding typing out something different than "Gratz ClanNameHere emotehere"? If discussion happens it happens, not saying it will every time but you can analyze the war or personalize the congratz differently then you ALWAYS do or how others do it.

The last post will defiantly get you banned lol, was a good run. But I do agree.

It could be considered as spam, Ninane Confirm/Deny? I could see both sides to as why it is and is not spam, but what does a mod have to say? All depends on the context. And as far as "gf <clans>" go, if people don't want to see posts like that anymore, we can look into removing them. But that has always been a...tradition? of the clan world to do something like that, and I and the rest of the staff would be really hesitant to take something away that has been such a long-standing part in clans and their respective communities. I don't mind it, until the same person says it on every topic. Well as I said what else can you say? Just saying this but the more restrictions you put on something the more they will rebel/disassociate with it. Just spelling it out differently, let us know you're human and not a repeating post count orientated robot. Congratz gratz there are 1000's of different responses i don't want to read the same exact version of it all the time. There are tons of stuff too add, you recently just added stuff like good to see collision around haven't read much about you as of late, that makes it a 50x better post and actually brings meaning to other people than Gratz ClanNameHere thumbsupemote.jpg

I don't mind it, until the same person says it on every topic. I don't really see a way to enforce it though, without people crying "OMGZ, THEY NAZIS" (Insert your regime here). i'd prefer disabling postcount in the forum over removing spam GF personally. It's kind of like blogscape, now some people may love it, but personally i've never understood ego-stroking that people need in that forum. GRAT ON 75 SMITHING OMG GOOD JOB 75 SMITH NICE! AWESOME! GOOD JOB OMGHAX. It's pointless, but people like it, and it's accepted, and sadly popular, so I see no reason to piss people off in a trend to try to make people be something they are not - intelligent. I understand it's hard to enforce but if you notice the same person doing it over and over you could send them a pm hey you're kinda posting the same thing over and over on every topic want to at least change the colors once in a while? Maybe move that thumbs up emote to the front perhaps add a few words? Basically motivate them inform them or threaten them a lil bit

I hope you actually post this time around.

This, i read the topics that interest me, which has begun to dwindle, and post gratz :thumbup: regardless. Glad you all care so much though and good luck to all participants! :smile: Is it too hard just to try it? Why not just try it and see if you can actually keep up with your posts per day, without spamming. I really don't care, I'll do what i want with my time on forums, thank you for all of your concern! :thumbup: It could be considered as spam, Ninane Confirm/Deny?

Glad you all care so much though and good luck to all participants! :smile: If you read topics that "interest you" surely you could come up with a new reply to the topic than "Gratz clannamehere :thumbup:". I mean if it interests you theres probably something on your mind or something cool that happened or some one you are close friends with was in the war, saying something + Gratz clannamehere :thumbup: would be much better. I could really care less what I post, again I read the topics I want and post that regardless. So you post for post count only? I think it has been, was shot down. Perhaps if we show more people are interested in it they will consider some sort of a system.

Yup.

Glad you read all of the topic. It's not JUST about that. Theres massive quoting others and massive saying the same thing on every topic just changing the name of the clan. You don't need a long response just mix it up time to time, comment on something else other than the win. Theres more to a war than the winning clan, take into consideration performance (Both sides), pulls, spams anything and then we'll have better posts than seeing a page full of the same responses.

I do agree with some posts not worth an "original" response, but if you must it doesn't have to be positive lol. Push them around maybe to do something better idk. As to the second part, we need to fix that, just because nothing original hasn't been posted doesn't mean it won't be. The topic itself doesn't have to be super original because some of the responses might spark something original to discuss.

Congratz on bringing home two wins against Apoc. Good try BrianM hopefully your next war you have a time that works out well for you <3: When you doing a pvp war btw :P?

In light of current posts (A popular trend which is killing tip.it's Clan section/community), and this wonderful Topic by LolYumadtho, I think it's only fair to call people out. Now I was planning on personally calling them out (Listing names) but Joe would probably delete them/lock this topic, so lucky you. You guys know who you are and the rest of the community knows who you are, so step up and accept this challenge. I just had to read like 9 topics of the same person quoting some one else. What good are you doing? What are you contributing to the topic? Sometimes what the person said was basically how you felt, hell it might even be a very nice thing to one of the clans in discussion, but there is no need to ALWAYS be quoting some one else. I see these massive lazy posts of oh I'll just quote what some one else and then repeat it on 3498209348 other topics as spam. The community here is pretty dead not going to lie, there is rarely new topics to discuss about the clan world in CD, and the only reason we have CD is apparently to play silly games to increase our post count. So basically our clan community here on tip.it would only appeal to those who like to play games as there is literally like no other discussion. (Except a few decent topics from today) Also it's quite boring to read the same thing over and over, especially from the same person (Like I said you know who you are so I won't say any name(s)). Why do people post win topics? Well mainly because they have to for TWR but that's hardly all of their reasoning. Posting win topics brings good publicity (Most the time) to their clan. They also want to feel like they have accomplished something. Saying Gratz is nice, simple enough to make them somewhat happy about their performance, but if that person who said Gratz to everyone else on every win topic does it still have its meaning? It's like your girlfriend saying I love you to everyone. TL;DR be more original when posting in Wars in run ins, and post something to discuss once in a while in CD, so I don't have to read silly games. True Poster Challenge: I challenge you to post 100% originally for ONE WEEK. That means w/e you post on a win topic or response can't be said by someone else(Like seriously go full out on this and try not to copy a single word already posted if possible, if you are a boss ofcourse, if not then you can have some words others have already posted). Also create at least one CD Topic that is somewhat original, and no games aren't real discussion plus we already have too many games. The most original posters win, good luck to those who accept the challenge. Maybe I'll make some sort of graphical award to entice you to participate.
