There are thousands of bot accounts that have been spamming phishing links in the 'Ironman CC' clan. A new bot will spam their phishing link every minute, and this has gone on continuously for countless days.
Ironman CC is an open clan chat with hundreds of active members, closing the clan to block the entrance of bots would mean killing that community where new people join everyday to converse, ask for help, find friends, all the things a clan is for.
Individual players have no protection from the spam; one's personal Ignore list is completely ineffective against such large numbers of bots. From what I gather, most large clan chats have been under attack in the same way.
The current Clan Chat system fails to provide tools for clan owners and moderators to defend against the constant offensive of bot spam and protect the integrity of their community forum. Jagex must address these shortcomings, or else clans, the foundation for building community and personal interaction in the game, will continue to be eroded by these botters and phishers.
Having no familiarity with the provenance of the clan chat system, I cannot suggest an appropriate countermeasure, I can only express how desperately one is needed.
