Like you'd literally hate 75-80% of my CC.


I suspect I would too. And so would 75-80% of my members. And that's why your members are in your CC and not mine, while my members are in my CC and not yours. :D


True.

I mean....I watch out for people again, who could be a threat. But I've encountered more crazy people with sound names then I have people with edgy ones.

Edgy names say a lot about someone, and many of them are negative. However, many are just creative or in jest. Thus I have learned to relax a bit.

I'd recommend the same thing for other people. So many clans have rules like....

No political speech, No religious talk, no language, no drug references/speech.

While keeping the peace is important, you just removed
A TON
of conversation topics, meaningful ones, because heaven forbid someone get hurt feelings.

Which sometimes happens when you do allow such things, and sometimes, someone leaves because they have no other way to resolve it. But this in a way is just as immature, as avoiding conflict gets you nowhere....Exposure to other peoples views takes you places though.

but for some, that's not enough...


Well yea except talk of drugs is within the games rules so you kinda gotta follow those ya know.

Also i dont really consider those topics to be that limiting, if a person finds them limiting then they should perhaps go look for new life experiences other than being on reddit all day.


We don't do the political religion drug talk in the cc as an overall rule, but there are times the conversations take place and unless they all start getting heated and out of control I let it slide.

Are you a Game of Thrones fan?

To quote a famous line: "If we beheaded every Ranger who lay with a girl, the wall would be manned by headless men."

In other words, nearly everyone in the game would become muted. Not everyone, but....thousands of people.

Like any Rule or Law, anything goes until you're caught. The stupid people are the ones talking openly about illegal objects in the middle of Varrock G.E

About your 2nd point....

Duh,

Of course there are other topics. Many are content chatting about RS nonstop.

But like....How can you really get to know anyone or connect if you don't know how they think or perceive life? Most people never get to this part, and I'm not talking about whining about what President man child has done now.....That's not politics, that's gossip.

What's the difference between socialism and communism? Why is ____ Illegal? Why are you an ath_ist? These are all topics I've encountered, and it can be very enlightening to hear serious discussion or theories about anything along the same lines.


You can talk about food, love life, travel, work, crazy experiences, and on and on. However, these don't exactly cover ones personal ideas or frame of reference when they mentally established said ideas.

This isn't to say the above can't though I'll grant you. ;)

A name which is obscene or likely to cause offence to someone in clan is a name I won't recruit to the clan.


I'm not bothered about drugs/sexual names personally - they show can immaturity but they aren't usually "offensive". Someone with the name "SmokeKush240" doesn't bother me and it wouldn't bother anyone in clan (especially as a lot of the time these names are being used in a Satirical way.)


Names which are directly discriminatory in some way are the most likely ones I'll grown upon on behalf of Incursione.


We don't prevent discussion of controversial topics and generally we've found that people can reasonably hold a respectful discussion about it - though this is largely to do with how we earn new recruits. Most of our recruits tend to guest in the clan first and enjoy it before applying/joining - we rarely get "random" recruits.

Thought I'd look that up:

Inappropriate language

This includes (but is not limited to): discussion of recreational drugs, sexually explicit language, solicitation, racism or other prejudice, threatening behaviour, blackmail and excessive swearing.

What's inappropriate depends on the people in the clan. I walked past a music festival yesterday and was offered weed 3 times (and I was only there for 5 minutes). I'd rather be able to discuss recreational drugs before people buy shit from strangers and end up in a hospital bed from an overdoses. If people are interested in drugs it's better to educate them rather than acting like it's bad to talk about. They'll try it anyway, especially in countries where drugs is readily available.
As far as prejudice goes, seems like a lot of people here are prejudiced towards people with different names.
Meanwhile the things that are really bad (racism, threatening behaviour and blackmailing) aren't addressed at all. A certain clan doing all three of them was still given thousands of dollars by Jagex for winning tournaments.

So I'd rather trust my own judgement than the rules.

Whether its enforced or not is an entirely different matter. Still if follow Jagex rules is one of your clan rules it helps to take it seriously.

Youre right though, dont wanna lose any players cos theres not many left.

Its true that Jagex are just awful at giving appropriate punishment to people who throw about abusive language in game.

In my clan, we believe that our players all represent our clan so if someone's name is "Smokeganja6969" We ask them to change it. It makes our clan look bad/immature and that isnt the image we want.

Our clan policy on questionable names is fairly harsh. We don't allow exceptions to these rules.

- If a recruit has an inappropriate name, they are rejected. They are welcome to join if the name is changed.

- If a clan member changes their name to something inappropriate, then they are warned to change it. If it is not shortly changed, they are removed from the clan and welcome to re-join once the name can be changed.


Any decisions regarding what is or is not offensive is made by our council of keys.

Additionally, we do not allow people to hijack or duplicate other clannies' names. The only reason to do this is to cause confusion and disruption in the chat, and is part of what we consider 'inappropriate.'

I believe that what you choose to name yourself says a lot about who you are as a person. Naming yourself something inappropriate or offensive immediately sends up red flags for us, and is closely watched.

This is just our view on the matter and part of our our clan is run. Our number one goal is to keep our CC a friendly and comfortable place for our members. Ousting a few people with inappropriate, immature, or offensive names is a small price to pay for that.

We have had long time players in our clan that changed their names to something that we considered leud & yes we did ask them to change it we try to keep our CC clean that's the way the majority of our clan wants it to be. If someone refused to change it then I'd probably say along with my founders, bye bye as they no longer support the values of our clan. Also yes we have turned people down to join based on an offensive name but these names weren't almost leud or offensive they flat out were & I can't figure how Jagex misses them to begin with.
