I've led clans before so I have some experience.

 

An anti-botting clan is an unheard of concept. Clans will have rules on it, but none have it as a primary focus. You have originality as your advantage - use it. It'll be a great help with advertising. Because you're not PvP, you could possibly impliment multi-clanning availabilities - worth considering. But let the members prioritize their clan first. Leave them with choice. Call yourselves honourable, that's a rare trait in clans. But remember, many clanners like the PvP aspect as well, so advertise that you do CWA as well. Try not to limit yourself with anything, and if you do, don't show it. Be honest, but be selective with your words.

 

Material-wise you want these things:

- Forums. Make them well-kept, with proper spelling and organisation. Cater for your community. A good clan has a good atmosphere. Use InvisionFree or IPB if you want it free.

- Website. If you have any members who can CODE or design in Flash (NO Dreamweaver or Frontpage), let them work some magic. Get a free site or set up a server, and get a domain name. They're fairly cheap. Having an address like freewebs.com/clanname is off-putting.

- IRC. IRC is crucial real-time communication outside the game. Set up a channel, and use SwiftIRC. Encourage your members to lounge in it regularly.

- VoIP. A VoIP program does cost, but it's crucial as well. Encourage your members to get microphones or headsets. It will be a huge help for events.

- CC. I reccomend using your own. Ask your members to join it and idle there whenever they're online. It will help with in-game recruitment.

- Media. You want quality over quantity. Get yourself a good banner (And make it orginial). Consider a promotional video. Make clan signatures and avatars for fansites.

- Slogan. Think of something original and creative. WG's is "We are the Shield of the Innocent". Make it reflect your clan and its' interests.

 

In terms of recruitment, your best bet is fansites like Tip.It and RSC. Make a well-designed template for your recruitment topic. Host events for recruitment like photo shoots and of the clan in action. Keep a diverse range of events, appeal to everyone you can. Check out "Looking for a clan" forums and refer members to your clan. Recruiting in-game is also a good success point. If you're anti-bot, focus on areas with skillers who will be challenged by bots. RS Classic also had a big bot issue a while back, you may find success there as well. Use the RS forums as well (RSB) for recruitment. The non-clan community is very different to RSB.

 

For events, turnout is your priority. If you have a forums, send out mass PMs, and hype things up. Maybe change your banner. Ensure all your members know the dates, times and locations. Ask them to clear their schedules, and use the RS pm system and IRC to ensure they're aware of all the details. Preparation videos are an extension, you could save these for the biggest events. When you're hosting, be open-minded. If you're unexperienced with leadership, consider asking another member with more experience to help. If you make a mistake, learn from it.

 

Overall, keep things simple and professional. Complexity is off-putting. Unprofessionalism is off-putting. Be firm, but respectful and friendly in your leadership. Show you're a good friend, leader and person, but also show you won't take sh*t from anyone. You will encounter hardships and the idiot now and then - you need a lot of strength and dedication to get through them. I know, I have been there. It is possible, and well worth it in the end.

 

Any other questions or things you want to know, ask me. I wish your clan the best of luck :thumbup:

Make it fun but at the same time be a serious clan.

Don´t flame, respect and that way you will gain respect.

Good luck!!! :)

RIP my bot friends if this comes succesfully

your going to need a top 10 caller, i highly suggest rodm1107

I agree, you shouldn't make a "Clan" just to report Bots, however if you're so keen, I'd make a Cc called "Slay Bots" or whatever.

 

Best of luck!

How ironic. I heard that you were a frequent user of bots, and whats more, even helped program one!

 

 

I've also heard you bot a fair amount then started this "war against bots" as people started to suspect you to try and "prove" you don't?

 

 

Didnt you offer to bot a number of hunting levels for another tif user in exchange for USD? Thats what I heard.

 

 

Heard you hack runescape on a frequent basis and steal credit card numbers.

 

 

Bot! Bot! Bot! Bot!

 

 

Are you not that botter from the famous botting incident of '86?

 

 

Heard you hacked my old rs account YOU [bleep] WTF MAN. :thumbdown:

 

 

lol'd. ITT : Trolls trolling a troll, to the benefit of all those with a good sense of humor

sorry bro - didnt realize how serious you are

 

leave him alone guys

 

he's serious

Also, please stop trolling this thread, I seriously am going to start the clan, and I am serious about hunting bots.

 

That's the right attitude. When WG formed as a clan with the focus of PKing PKers, we were laughed at by everyone. Six years on we're still going strong and have made our mark. You have the chance to do the same, and you seem like you have the dedication and effort needed to make it happen. Don't let trolls and haters put you off. Just keep trying, believe in yourself and never give up. And one day, you could be up there with DI or DS or VR with a name and a legacy to be remembered.

Id advise staying away from fan sites. You would get trolled for this type of clan.

Keep at it. Ignore trolls, generally they are idiots who try to get attention when they have nothing good to say. It could become fairly successful if you really try at it. As said previously, maybe start with a CC dedicated to it then work your way up to a full clan?

your going to need a top 10 caller, i highly suggest rodm1107

 

I suggest rizzle.

 

Because your serious about going to report bots, it doesn't really need a whole clan for it to start off with, as other people have said. If you just had a cc to start with then you could expand onto a site.

 

:shame:

 

and guys, don't mock cos he's 13. I heard the founder of TMRD was 12 when he founded them...

If you're not going to make a productive comment don't bother posting.

 

 

You have to be willing to dedicate yourself fully to the clan. There will be ups and downs, rises and falls, you have to be willing to pick up the pieces each day and keep on going.

Who the hell are you? First time seeing you posting on this section. I think everyone here is just expressing their opinions, troll or not some of them are true.

 

 

Quick question to the topic owner:

 

How is hunting bots any fun? Just walking around runescape for hours and hopping worlds to see if you find someone afking, and then press the report button? Damn, that seems intense and very entertaining. ./endsarcasm

Thanks for your support :) What's a top 10 caller?

Also I'm 12 now, almost 13, but that's irrelevant anyway. I have a website with forums and a chat room and separate forums and 4 members already. :)

 

A top 10 caller calls who to attack when you're fighting in pvp wars. You won't actually need one for hunting bots :P

He's a global mod (A good one at that) who is taking an interest in the clan world.

The clan staff is the mod team who will handle these parts of the forums - a moderator or admin must be trained to deal with the daily "Excitement" and "entertainment" on these these boards. ie: Cowman or Rainyday both are trained in clans.

 

The only other time you will see a non clan staff mod modding in here is when adbots or porn is around, or something big like that. In the meantime, anyone from hardcore pvper's to oldschool clanners to those curious are most welcome here.

why do you guys care so much when hes doing a good deed? (this isnt all just about you)

Welcome to the Internet.

The Internet is Serious Business.

 

OT: Since your starting a clan, I would suggest joining a team, to atleast get some experience in clanning first. Teams are somewhat like clans that give people more practice in clan events. You are able to be in a clan and a team at the same time.

 

PSFS (Figure the initials out on your own its not hard): Join EA to get alot of experience. All it takes is to go to w141 and find some random level 3's all level cc with the title of "ea pr'y'de" and just ask Batli the general (ooohh pixel rankings.) about joining. it's an all levels clan so you should get some exp from them.

LOL #1 Elite Assassins

tbh the only advice i can give you is that not to go to w141 and dont start a clan with 1 person have like 6 of your best friends that you can trust your account with.

if you go to w141 and recurit might as well end it right there and then.

he asked for advice not to be trolled

I would suggest against joining a team since he plans on making it more monster hunting instead of warring based.

(Keeping this quote short because I hate massive quote posts which are pathetic imo.)

 

So his clan will be RSB then?

Hey mate, you have the two most important things already.

 

1. Determination and strong values

2. Something unique to offer the clan world.

 

Some people will look down on your cause, but never give up.

It's very hard to make a successful clan these days.

 

For a clan like yours, I'd allow multiclanning if I were you.

There'd be a lot of people interested in your idea but if you only allow them to be in your clan, they won't join because they are already committed to their own clan.

That should be a big selling point for you... that they can be part of your cause without betraying their own clan.
