Yes, but a clan, especially one filled with hormonal teenagers, needs rules to prevent chaos and douchebaggery. This is a rule. People are so used to the rules not being enforced that when they are they ragequit, like Tophat did.
Guys. You're doing it wrong. Someone else said it before but games are
not about sucking a high ranked person's rooster unless they're one of those stuffty tycoon games or whatever. I know you guys are reasonably active ingame but a number of your members don't seem to be having much fun and I know from experience that most of you get inflamed and angry with less than an insult. All someone has to do is make a
joke and you guys go ballistic, I know, it's happened. You have the rules thing backwards. In a game filled with hormonal teenagers it's useless, not necessary, to have rules. They'll NEVER GET FOLLOWED. They'll always be broken, and your "rule national socialist-ing" going to change that one bit. That's why I suggest you do what the Craftsmen did to an extent. Calm the forget down, stop stuffposting, forget administration and ranks or that bullstuff, and get it out of your heads that this game matters at all.
