Allow leaders to create pop-up messages which automatically appear to clanmates when they log on:

Clan Message of the day. It would be great to be able to post a message that’s sent to all clan members when they log on next. Probably built from a template rather than free text entry.

Darr: I can't see why we can't have free text entry just the same as we do for clan motto.

It's mainly to do with data storage and a little to do with offensive messages. It's far more efficient to store things as integers rather than strings, a template can be encoded into integers.

Free text entry also needs a team to monitor it and a method of reporting it, just the same as the mottos.

Hope that makes sense.

Make the clan events noticeboard work more like a calendar:

I'm afraid the noticeboard can't be a calendar without extensive engine work. Mainly as we don't have things like dynamic linked lists or date/time manipulation in RuneScript.

Pescao6:
I think you either forgot or weren't aware that the content of RuneScape isn't coded in Java. We in the content development department use a bespoke language called RuneScript. We don't have databases and don't have date/time based commands like other languages - hence why the noticeboard is not a calendar.

Whilst I would love for the noticeboard to be a calendar, it isn't. Primarily because we don't have date manipulation or calendar supporting commands in our codebase and secondarily due to the data space considerations. What you're seeing in the boxes for date info is me faking a date... it's actually just integers!

Think of the noticeboard as just that - somewhere you've tacked up a poster for other clan members to read. :-)

Whilst I do have plans for some improvements, I'm afraid it's nothing as complex as you have requested.

Create a window where member resource counts and fealty can be seen even if they are offline or on another world:

The reason this is currently not possible is that the data is stored on the players themselves. If a player is offline, or not on the same world as you, we have no way of accessing that data. Conversely, we can't store up to 500 player's data for each plot on the clan, as it causes storage and bandwidth issues.

So with our current technology this isn't possible. That's not to rule it out in the future but it's not a priority over projects that we CAN currently do with the technology we have (like the permissions rewrite).

Hope this helps explain why we don't have this very useful feature.

1) We can only obtain that information is they are on the same world as you are on when you make your check, as the data is stored on the players and not on the Clan.

2) Fealty can only be updated once the player visits the Citadel. Therefore we only display their fealty once they have visited the Citadel within the current build cycle. To do otherwise would present potentially false information - Schrodinger's Fealty.

The current restrictions on the data that is accessible to you is based on existing engine and data restrictions underlying the code. That is not something that is likely to change as doing so would have serious implications further afield tech wise. -
