Should clans be removed or more strictly monitored?

what mcsg should do

get out of the clan scene because they have no idea how to control it (not to mention bias decisions against clans they don't like, ie: blacklisting clans for legit no reason lol)
Well it's mostly that it is impossible for them to control it. How can they control a clan when almost everything is done on Skype or a private Teamspeak? I think they should just remove the clans page and just make groups of friends form their own teams to play with in a game. The more official MCG tries to make clans, by adding rules and official leaderboards, the more competitive it will get. Which is a pretty big problem assuming they have very little control.

and this ladies and gentlemen is the opinion from someone who has most likely never been in a half decent clan. ddosing and all that is really annoying and stupid, but clans are so much fun. removing them because a couple of bad apples is stupid. EU clans don't ddos at all and au hardly, us is the only region where it's a problem.

the top*** thank you sir ;)

nah, but what i mean by this is that you have not experienced the fun clans give. which is why i think you shouldn't comment on a matter you don't fully understand from both sides.

Personally I prioritize a serious issue of someone getting harassed over fun. But, yes it is a very difficult problem, because a compromise is really hard to get. There is just no easy answer.

First of all, clans should not be removed.
And the current adminstrative influence in clans are pointless, try to contact Sr. Staff about a clan issue, you barely even get a reply, I get they have a lot on their mind. Therefore it needs to be done differently I will explain why and why in this post.

EU and US have clan leaderboards, thanks to Soul there are great guidelines of what not to do and what to do in clanwars/clanbattles.

I think there should be a clan commision for every region, people who are experienced in clans and they don't necessairely have to be staff. People who are fair and make rightful decisions borg clans will have to deal with.

To be part of the clan commision you'll have to go through an Application and interview, obviously adjusted to the needs of the clan commision.

The Sr. Staff and clan commision will decide on major issues together and the Sr. Staff will set up the Clan commision together with the head of the clan commision, from there on The Clan commision can make decisions in every region, the rules will be adjusted to the needs of every region.

The Clan Commision can now run independently from the Sr. Staff (keep in mind there is a proces and they will be trusted). Now The Adminstrative staff can go back to what they dis before and haven't to bother about clans all that much anymore.

People would make a big uproar if clans were removed, which is stupid. Just team with your friends and if you want a "Clan Battle" get more of your friends together and create two teams and fight each other.
that takes away the whole competitive aspect of clan battles. Clans on MCSG have leader boards which add the competitive aspect of gathering a groups of friends to form a team.

Yeah, let's totally remove clans and watch every single MCSG player leave the servers.
You guys forget that at one point, long long ago, the server thrived pretty well with no existing clan scene. The server would definitely lose a chunk of players if clans were removed, but the people in clans would still talk and chat with each just as much as they used to, there just wouldn't be any hardcore battling going on between clans. It would just be fun competition based, like how the Blamphs and CyanVolts were. We had a blast, and our only motivation was to beat the opposing clan enough so that they'd get their booties off of our server.

Nowadays, I think the main motivation for the players is to beat the opposing clans.. internet connection by DDoSing? Kidding, kidding.

Just to note: I don't think that clans should be removed at all. It's a great selling point for the server, as long as they clean up some of the bad apples. I'm only trying to remind people that MCG isn't absolutely reliant on clans.
