Lol mightyspeck

So, a bunch of PG-13 rated clans, but no rated X? Boring :/

* quickly leaves thread with my stash of gold from raiding African Towns *

Nog there is no clan called " The Dutch east india company " so look closer next time and get rid of that 200 year old chip on your shoulder. I chose the east India company theme because of its rich history and RP possibilities. We don't chose our clan themes based on what they did wrong, we do it based on intreseting things they did or the themes rich history. political correctness and caution are tossed in the wind since after all this is the internet.

> African towns

> Dutch East India Company

Might want to stay away from Divided We Fall; they're probably going to trigger you.

The Poon Squad: G (cute smiley-face on logo, promotes happiness)

Acme Co.: PG-13 (anvils may be used as weapons)

These two had me in stitches :D

how about banning members?

GOTTA BAN 'EM ALLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The only thing we're guilty of is taking a bath twiced a week and loving hot banjo licks.

Fizzer would never ban a clan, but I see no reason he could not force a change in name.

What about this one: https://www.warlight.net/Clans/?ID=222
Apparently the TOS about offensive language does not apply to clan names?

Not sure this should be allowed either:
https://www.warlight.net/Clans/?ID=228

Personally, I don't care. Just seems like Fizzer should state some sort of expectations on clan names.

This clan was banned. (More deleted, but you get my gist)

@ChrisCMU: Kind of makes sense for the rules to be fuzzy, though. WL isn't that big of a game yet and traction matters a ton. Just the fact that more clans are being made is good news- it means that a product/feature is being used (albeit not in a way that Fizzer intended, hopefully).

The worst feeling is when you make something and it turns out your users didn't actually want it. It's also unavoidable, since it's very hard to get a user in a cage next to you so you have to make and test assumptions constantly.

I wonder if you get a refund?

As someone else pointed out, banning any clan who references a group that once did something bad would require a near blanket ban on all historical clans.

To be honest, there's a lot bigger things to get triggered over than someone naming their clan "East India Company"

Also, it's currently impossible to report someone for using the name of a "offensive historical leader" so I'd imagine Fizzer also extends that philosophy towards clans as well.

But he said something I didn't like he must be punished.
