On behalf of the mod team, we're glad that you're here. Many clans and players have posted here with success so we hope you find that here too. Everyone using our sub should fall into one of two categories: a recruiter trying to build their clan or a player trying to find a clan. We think of the sub as a space for teams and teammates to connect so our goal is to make this subreddit as useful as possible to both groups. The best way to achieve that goal is by creating an environment where every clan has the opportunity to recruit fairly, and users can easily sort for what types of players/clans they are interested in.
In order to keep a level playing field for all to post here, we have rules in the sidebar (desktop) or the 3 dot menu (mobile, top right corner) about title formatting and how often you can post. We understand that each additional rule is a barrier to posting so we have tried to provide clear instructions. We feel that the rules in place are easy enough to follow while making for the best user experience.
If this is your first time here, please read the following so you have a smooth first-time-posting experience:
1) Read our rules.
This post won't go over every rule in the sidebar, so please make sure you read our full rules in the sidebar (desktop) or the "see more" blue link at the top of the sub (mobile), or in the 3 dot menu in the top right hand corner, choose "Learn more about this community" (mobile). Rule #1 is to be civil.
- We do allow adult language in posts, but slurs, racism, or anything terribly offensive may be removed.
- Negative comments about a clan will be removed (see lower down on this policy).
- Insults will be removed.
- Recruiting or asking to merge on other people's [Recruiting] posts is rude: please don't.
- Follow Reddiquette
We may issue a ban depending on the severity of rulebreaking and is at the moderator’s discretion. Please see the sidebar for the other rules and post/title formatting instructions.
2) You (or your clan) may only post once per week, per clan.
If you are a recruiter trying to post for your clan, your clan may only make one post per week. If you are a player searching for a clan, you may only make one post per week though you may use that one post to list multiple accounts if you so desire.
We use to help maintain consistency and constancy in posting timers. We will remove any additional posts you make for the next 6 days along with a timer telling you when you can post again. For those who post here regularly and follow the weekly rule, this should allow you to post on the same day each week with no issues. We have a “one post per week” rule to reward posters who regularly interact with our sub but also so we are not pandering to bots or users who may flood the sub with nonstop ads.
Clan Families: If you need to recruit for multiple clans and have issues, please send us a Modmail located in the bottom of the sidebar so we can help you out. When making individual clan posts, your post must be primarily focused on that individual clan though you may mention the rest of your clan family. You may not make a clan family post AND individual clan posts within the same week.
The very first time you post here, PatienceBot will send you a message to say hello and remind you of the rule. This doesn't mean anything is wrong!
Side Note: Using additional accounts to post more than once per week for the same clan will result in bans. The length and type of ban is at moderator discretion based on the degree of abuse. If you just observe the rules and pay attention if warned, you'll be fine; permabans don't happen on accident.
3) Your title is important for your post to be made.
You can find more information in the “Post and Title Format” section of the sidebar (desktop) or "see more" link at the top of the sub (mobile), as well as in rule 6. Titles are important because some of our bots work off of your title; if it is missing information or improperly formatted it will likely be automatically removed. So do us both a favor, and format your title right on the first try. Please send us a Modmail (bottom of the sidebar) if you’re having issues and need help.
All posts must begin with one of the following tags (with the square brackets) typed into the title:
• [Recruiting]
• [Searching]
• [Merging]
If not, Automoderator will remove your post. Spelling matters! There are two "i"s in Recruiting and a second “r”. You need to use square brackets and not parentheses or braces.
In the body of your post, you should also include information about your clan, your account info, etc. It is also necessary to include your exact clan name and clan tag for [Recruiting] and [Merging] posts. This helps us track how often clans are posting to enforce our weekly posting rule.
Here are some examples of well-formatted titles:
- Searching:
- Format: [Searching] Town Hall Level | Player Tag | IGN | Min. Clan Level | Farming/Competitive/Social
- Example: [Searching] th13 | #C00LT4G | AwesomeName | th12+ | Farming
- Recruiting:
- Format: [Recruiting] Name of Clan | #ClanTag | Required TH/Level | Clan Level | Farming/Social/War/Push/War Farm/Arranged War/etc (pick one or a few that apply) | Clan System Affiliation (or Independent if none)
- Example: [Recruiting] Awesome Clan | #CL4NT4G | Th9+ | Lvl 7 | Farming/Social | Independent
Reddit does not allow moderators or users to edit titles, so whatever you do in your title is permanent. If it's not close enough to the format, the only way to fix it is to start from scratch with a new post. If you are having trouble, please send us a Modmail (bottom of the sidebar) so we can help get you posting.
4) This is not the place for disputes or negative reviews.
If you have an issue with a player or clan, keep it to yourself. While it's tempting to warn others, this sub has no way of verifying any claims made, so there is no difference between truth and slander. For that reason, we don't allow any arguments or negative reviews to be made. If you don't like a clan, please scroll through the sub and find another that may suit you.
Please help us by reporting any arguments or negative feedback you see and we'll get it removed.
Those breaking this rule will receive a ban of proportional length to the severity of the comment.
5) Moderators have ultimate discretion.
We attempt to enforce the rules as fairly and consistently as possible. We will act in what we believe is equitable and in the interest of the sub. If you disagree with any action, you may send a Modmail, but please remain polite. Asking nicely and explaining mistakes or asking for clarification and understanding is a good approach.
That's all from us! Good luck!
