It's a good idea, and we appreciate any ideas and feedback. But a few questions: How many clans would be in each ladder? We have 23 clans on TWR with 2 on the waiting list, so each 'ladder' would be very limited. I see your vision, but a 12 hour acceptance time seems extremely short aswell as the 1/2 week period. How would you have a good ladder if you had an Aussie based clan/EST based clan and GMT based clan in there at once? (An example...) I know there's no flawless system, but why should all wars be set default dangerous with no returning? The clan world has evolved from full out PVP wars to CWRI/PKRI's, I think this rule is honestly too outdated to bring into place. Like I said, I'm glad to see people mentioning ideas. But I think you need to elaborate more and give reasoning to why we would have one rule over another.

There seems to be some controversy here about rule breaking. Instead of having a topic full of flaming and unkind comments, I urge both parties to PM any evidence of rule breaking/their side of the story to me or another member of staff. I'll leave the topic as it is for now, but if it gets out of hand expect some sort of intervention. The staff will discuss any evidence you send us and then make a conclusion about the war, the faster you send us it, the faster we can get this sorted. Please cooperate. :thumbup:

GX: 120 CD: 50 GX are now #12, CD are now #18 in the TWR, grats to both and particularly to GX for performing well. ;) Please remember that you're both off of the waiting list now - allowing clans to freely declare on you. Stay active guys and good job! :thumbup:

Very nice Aces of Wars, keep up the good work!

The clan section may lack in activity at this moment in time but there are plenty of other forums that have great activity on Tip.It. If you have suggestions to what can make this section more active then please post here: http://forum.tip.it/topic/287726-clan-discussion-improvementssuggestions/ Locking this topic, I don't see any discussion happening what so ever and what discussion would happen can be posted in the topic I linked you to. Thanks.

Well done AA. :shades:

There are several ways Clan Discussion can be improved and first of all the attitude to the posters is key. Recently I've seen many posts that have been negative or critical of the site, of CD and of TWR. By posting in that way we're losing that 'tightly-knitted' community feel that separates us from every other website. Don't forget, the reason why so many people posted on Tip.It in the first place is because of how nice the atmosphere was on these forums. A prime example of this was on the topic where I was introduced to you all as a new CL. I'm not asking for perfection and for everybody to be good, but if we could improve in this department maybe newer/older contributers to CD may reappear. I've only joined the clan staff recently but I've known Tacatar for a long time and although she's not the best English speaker, she has plenty of attirbutes that counter that and which makes her stand out from all other posters here. She's probably one of the most hard-working people I've ever met. The personal attack on her on this topic is an example of the attitude of posting we shouldn't be seeing here, not because it's rude but because it makes our forums just like RSC. We all know what RSC forums are like and I'm not prepared to let Tip.It stoop down to RSC's level, and neither would anybody moderating the clan forums. Whilst I'm touching the issues of forums trouble, I'll let you know that since I've joined the clan staff it's become apparant to me that indeed we are very lax about moderating topics and posts, but sometimes we can't just sit back and do nothing, sometimes intervention and moderation is needed. Maybe in the past the clan staff might have been too strict, but I wasn't here then and it's our jobs to make sure these forums do not turn into a forum for people just to troll on. I'm not sure what everybody expects from us and when to step in, but each and every one of the staff knows when to intervene. An example; look at this topic. Now the insults on Tacatar could've easily led to disciplinary action but haven't as far as I'm aware. Secondly, I have personal thoughts about how we could improve TWR to expand the amount of clans posting on these forums. Like Das said, there's a big topic behind closed doors and once we have made a decision amongst ourselves about whether the ideas could work, we most likely will be discussing this with clan officials. I'm not going to give too much away, but we aren't sitting back letting this activity happen without consequence or change. I can promise you that much. Lastly I'll finish with the fact that there's a cycle of older clans leaving or closing, whilst new clans join and pick their activity up, and this cycle currently is not functioning right. We've seen many clans who have posted an introduction in CD but then not made a TWR app. The recent additions of GX, CD and soon TPC to TWR are very valuable and I trust that these clans can contribute deeply in the future but TWR used to be a 40/30 clan list and now it is 20. There are tonnes of medium sized clans out there that could war on TWR once or twice a month. If the TWR isn't functioning right then I admit responsibility does lie with us to some extent, but just as much to clan officials who should be arranging fights and helping us out a bit. However with changes we plan to make, I'm hoping this will not be a problem anymore, as there really is potential for a big shape-up which could benefit Tip.It as a whole rather than just the clans section. Of course, there are other reasons and things that need to be explored and discussed but let's take one step at a time.
