Hi there Fates. good questions. I've given my answers below but always remember that what works for one person won't necessarily work for everyone .
what are some of your methods of recruiting?
I love the forums, you will see me posting my clan details there often. We don't have a clan forum page itself, because I like to tailor the people we recruit rather than have people stumble across us. We might also recruit friends of clan mates by recommendation.
Cookie cutter recruiting type posts on the forums yes or no?
No. Some copy/pasting is fine because you want to make sure you get all the important information across. But make sure with that that you tailor your response to what they ask - have you answered their questions, do you meet their requirements. Don't post on every thread, only those of the people you think will actually fit with your clan
Do you do clan meetings?
We have had clan meetings but not often . Couldn't tell you when we had one last
What do you discuss?
When we do have a meeting we usually have a specific reason to - we discussed changing ( relaxing) some clan rules. But we also have time for any questions or comments from clan mates too. Nothing is off the table.
Is it with the whole clan or just higher ranks?
Higher ranks have much more frequent meetings, usually to discuss new clan ranks, clear inactives. talk about rule enforcement, things to watch out for and to make sure the ranks feel supported. We are a relaxed clan, and don't usually organise events, when we do, its done through word of mouth and clan forums posts.
