Hey Clan Leaders,

I have a suggestion for clans that'll benefit clans and the wider community:

Encourage clan mates to contribute to public friends chats (such as penguin hunting) by taking their contributions into account in clan ranking.

How these contributions factor in ranking could depend on the friends chat, the clan and the rank. It would work best if it was advertised by the clan that making positive contributions to a list of friends chats contributes to ranking, including their respective weighting and which chats are looking for more contributors. It would also work best if clan admins made connections with friend chats to share any advice with clan mates on how to contribute.

I think it could have many benefits, including:
- Community chats gain more contributors
- More contributors in community chats can help make less-used content more popular
- A contributor in your clan can share tips and introduce other clan mates to an experienced community
- Clan mates who contribute will be practising skills that would be useful in clan management
- Distributing how you measure positive community contribution of clan mates to community chats relieves that effort from your clan's management team
- Having connections with some friend chats can distribute hosting of events
- Having community-minded clan mates can improve clan atmosphere
- Community chats that benefit may help to promote your clan

Please feel free to discuss the idea and how it can apply to your clan.

If your clan already does this, please post about how this has worked in your clan.

If you are an admin of a community friends chat, please share your views on how to make the best out of the idea for your friends chat.

This idea may apply better to some types of clans than others, please keep that in mind.

If there is already a very similar thread in CLF, please let me know.

Cheers,
Blasty

Hey Scret,

That's fair enough, it's a bit abstract still while I get feedback from my clan.

The idea in a sentence is this: Encourage clan mates to contribute to public friends chats by taking their contributions into account in clan ranking.

Public friends chats include: fish flingers, vis wax, mass bossing, boss teaching, penguin hunting, portables, etc.

The way people contribute to these chats depends on the friends chat, but some examples include:
- Giving advice in boss-teaching fc's regularly
- Helping to compile vis wax hints regularly
- Helping to compile penguin location calls regularly
- Helping to compile calls in fish flingers regularly
- Taking a high-skilled role in a mass bossing friends chat regurlarly
- Hosting portable locations for public use regularly
- Helping to price check in a price checking fc

Taking them into account when ranking could be done in different ways, like:
Requiring for ranking / contributing to ranking if:
A clan mate is a regular contributor to a small number of public fc out of a list
or a clan mate can demonstrate that they have learned a skill that is helpful to a community chat (mentoring in barbarian assault, D&D compiling, etc.)
or a clan mate has been seen encouraging others to join a public activity that they are helping to host
etc.

I don't mean to go into the specifics of it, these are just examples. The main idea is that encouraging clan mates to contribute to community friends chats has benefits for individual clans and clans overall.

Edit: I've updated the first post with the more concise sentence.

I guess i dont know enough about other fc's to make that call so i stick to solely what they do for the clan.

From my understanding, this post is to encourage high ranks in individual clans for example; Admin ranks to join and sit in public friends chats such as 'R Quark' etc. to help them run. Am I correct around that line?

As much as it sounds like an idea to get them more active, most of those friend chats have their own systems and has been running for a long period of time already so I personally believe we can leave them with the management of their staff members as they are able to operate with a good amount of support and management already.

As for now, unless those friends chat owners request for help. I believe we should leave them to do what they are good at doing and not interfere unless it is needed.

I don't think it's about spreading out and interfering. I think it's about rewarding those among us who participate and encourage community growth not just in one individual clan but in the community as a whole.

I think that this type of rank system would be a good idea in supporting stronger ties not only between clans as individual units, but between independent, non-clan groups that focus on community activities. Instead of ranks being defined as what one does to benefit the clan, they could be defined as what one does to benefit the community in a larger sense, promoting companionship and mutual growth.

Most clans operate through as structure that is, at its foundation, selfish and competitive in nature. With the dying emphasis on warring (as only one example) there is room to branch out and connect our communities and make a substantial, positive change in the community. Though perhaps idealistic, it is definitely an honorable endeavor and I support it completely.

Yeah, it is something like that. The first step after clarifying the idea with my clan is to get in contact with friend chats and ask what kind of help they would be willing to accept. Even an unranked player helping to maintain order could benefit the fc, the clan mate and the clan.

That's the idea, clans and other communities working together for a similar goal. A clan and fc working together can get more done.
