I made a clan YEARS ago, and there's 4 other people in the clan but instead of usernames they all say something like #NJ8JSU9O now and when I try to kick all of them out so I can delete it, the interface won't work, I can't change any of the settings. It then says in order to delete the clan I need to assign a deputy owner, but it doesn't give me the option to do so. It said the same thing when I talked to the scribe in the clan area and tried to get out of the clan there. There's only one other person in the clan with a rank above recruit and it's an Admin, so I would think that would be enough, but no.

I've searched and searched for options and I've tried everything and I can't find anything that works. Does anyone know how to deal with this?

Hi,

I'm not sure what's causing your issue, so I'm going to go through this step by step. I've never had to go through the process myself, so I apologize if something gets missed.

1. Open your Clan Chat tab, and make sure you are in the clan chat.

Here's an image of the interface.

2. At the bottom, you should see an icon that looks like a Cog. (I drew an arrow to it in the image)
3. Click on that, and it opens the Clan Settings.
- If you don't see a Cog and instead see a single icon, then your interface isn't wide enough to display all of them. Click on the single icon that's there to expand it, and then the Cog.

4. In the Clan Settings interface, you'll see a full list of your clan members like this:

The buttons I've circled in red are the options where changes to clan members can be made.
Clicking on one opens this:

This is where you'll want to kick your members from before disbanding the clan. You should be able to kick all four other members.

5. Once this is done, speak to the Scribe at the Clan Camp south of Falador.

Click option 1: "I'd like more information about clans," and then on option 3: "How do I leave a clan?"

6. Go through this dialogue, which contains this message:


As the last remaining member of your clan, this dialogue should lead you to the option to leave your clan and disband it.


Let me know how this works out for you, or if you have any questions.

Thanks for your response!

My problem is in the third picture you posted, the small menu you get after you click on the small yellow box beside their names. When I try to interact with that menu, I'm unable to change or activate anything. When I click on them the small popup says "You may not currently change this setting."

So I read on a board somewhere that the Scribe can remove you from clans so I tried him, but I got the same message I got when I try to leave the clan from the chat menu. It says I have to elect a deputy owner, which I still can't do because I can't interact with the clan settings menu.

I'm not sure if I have to reply to your message for you to see it or just post in the thread lol, I'm new to the forums, sorry!

Don't worry, I'll keep popping in until your issue is resolved. :)

I'm not sure why the Clan Settings are giving you an issue when interacting with them. There is no possible way to allow/disallow yourself (as a Clan Owner) of any clan permissions because you are able to do everything by default. (Actually, the only thing that's not given to you by default is Avatar Warden, but that's not relevant here)

Are you sure you're inside of your Clan Chat channel? I do know that leaving the chat will disable settings from being changed.

EDIT: If this is the screen you see, then you need to click the button with the green plus (I've circled it) to rejoin your Clan Chat in order to edit the Clan Settings.
