Seriously, saying stuff like "lock the clan and gtfo"; "wow you suck richard/ass." is getting on my loving nerves, people.
Instead of making them feel like crap, you should at least encourage them to produce a better layout and make an example so they can seek ideas from it. I mean, come on. Kid's 10+ want to make a clan, and they have the right to make one. They don't want to feel hated because they get stuffposted on their clan page with posts saying: "omg, u suck at making clans gtfo noob". Go ahead and let my thread backfire, it may teach you internet trolls a lesson.
Seriously, guys, it's getting really old. And it should be put to an end. All they want to do is have a simple clan so they can make more BL friends, and perhaps gain more reputation.
Here are some examples:

Locked ]

The maker of this clan was acting like a total idiot, but there are still some posts in there ]

I have to admit, this guy just threw in some words for a layout... ]

Unwritten, I hate to say this... but really, you're being a real jerk to people ]
There are probably some more back there in the topic.
