Have a few tiny suggestions/ideas I've been talking about with some folks for a while, and they are as follows:

1) In the clanmembers list on the clan page, add the Hardcore Ironman, and ironman logo's next to the name. I own a large Ironman clan, and we want to keep it as iron as possible. There aren't any non-ironman members, and that's how we'd like to keep it, as I allow Captain+ ranks to invite.

Additionally, a clan invite filter for ironman accounts only would suffice as well, and if an account becomes a normal account again, it would instantly be removed from the clan.

2) Automatic promotions. Devise an optional system where players that accrue X amount of clan experience are promoted to X rank. Currently my clan has 5m for Corporal. Once they hit 5m, it would be nice to set them automatically ranked! I don't mind doing promotions manually, I actually enjoy it, but it's just one of those things that would be convenient/cool. I understand not all ranks are exp based, so that's why this could be optional.

3) Add an optional Clan Chat white list, instead of a black list. It's not news that some players regularly troll some friends chats/clan chats, and we can add them to the block list. The problem with this is, players can simply create a new account and just log on that account and spam. What if we had an optional system where we could Deny ALL, EXCEPT Players 1, 2, 3, etc. Kind of reminds me of Linux iptable firewall rules :P


Discuss your thoughts and ideas. I'm open to receiving any criticism, or additional feedback/suggestions, as long as it's constructive and not trollish.

In my honest opinion and input, I don't think the first two points are possible at all (apart from the ironman icon next to names on the clan page members list), because they are extremely specific and custom rather than universal across all clans.

For example, not all (ironman) clans may want to remove members that are no longer ironmen, and not all clans have xp-based (and in the same amounts) ranking systems, etc.

The possibilities and options for ranking in different clans are variant and endless (with all sorts of different criteria to be tracked), making it impossible to have a customisable system which would satisfy, fit or suit everyone.

What you are suggesting is to provide clans with the ability to set completely custom automated settings and internal clan structures, which is certainly not tiny in any aspect, requiring a huge amount of work and ultimately may not even be possible at all.

As for point 3, it's a very popular and nice one among the CLF community and I can see it being implemented in the near future. :)

On the clan page on the website? Sure, why not.

Ironmen are identifiable in game when you chat to them; this sounds like a lot of dev work to replace owners having to occasionally delist people. Not convinced that the benefit justifies the input.

OMG no. There are almost as many promotion systems as there are clans, and this will just cause problems. And is probably a shed load of work for the devs.

Pretty sure this has been suggested many times before in various guises, but hey, nothing wrong with suggesting it again ;)

What Arch said ^

@Progs, i dont think adding ironman icons to the clanmates section would be difficult would it?

Ye i wouldnt go with the second part really, theres all sorts of clans that sufficiently filter who joins the clans based on its req whether it be total lvl, total xp, skillers, cmbt, not sure its needed.
