I love the idea of the current clan system, however, I had an idea that would make it better. I was thinking, what would be great, is to have a clan description added. Where clan owners could type in a description to explain what their name means, what they are looking for, and possibly their recruitment process. To me this would end the in game bugs of "can I join your clan" or it would greatly lessen it. Clan owners could put exclusive, and things of that nature, or even put recruitment closed, so that if someone wants to know about a particular clan or if they can get in, they can simply go to this list and read about it.
I also had an idea about a clan application, where users can apply directly to a clan if the clan owner sets their clan to open enrollment. That way the "clan app" system how it currently is can then be targeted to a clan they want to join, who has their clan set to open enrollment. Maybe have settings like the following:
Open Enrollment: Users can freely apply to join
Closed Enrollment: Users can do a separate application and the clan owner will review it like what is done in the current system
Closed Membership: Clan owners will set this to establish that they are no longer accepting new members at all. Clan owners won't be able to review or recruit during this setting, and users won't be able to apply. Maybe even have a red font or icon or something that signifies that it's closed to enrollment...
Thank you for your time, and consideration to this suggestion,

P.S. Sorry for posting all these suggestion like this, I just tend to be an over thinker, and when my brain gets on something it tends to just keep going...
That's a really nice idea, I really like the one about applying to clans, because with my old clan I just hated going through the process of recruiting members.
I just don't want to be a bug right? I also don't want people to think I'm not happy with World of Minecraft. I just feel great things can always be greater.
That is a really good idea. But then i would have to struggle explaining what "Bloodrose clan" means because It's just a name :p
I support this idea.
Wolfy you think of alot of great ideas, this is one of them! Every suggestion I would love too add to World of Minecraft Realms to improve the clan system. 1 vote for you ;)
my support has been given
Especially since I just became a member in the World of Minecraft realms, newbie haven. And apparently I gotta join a clan, and I don't want to annoy people to death just trying to do that.
you don't have to join a clan, but it is an easier way to build projects in teams, and most people join the big ones as a way to get lots of rep
Description = Yes
Easy to do, I'll implement this when I have free time.
Re-writing the clan application system = Maybe
This will take a little bit longer as I would have to make changes to the database and what not. Sounds good to me though.
thanks for your time and effort :)
Thanks mate! I figured the clan application system would be a bit more work, as this would cause the app system to call to the database in a whole different way as the apps would have to then be sent to a specific users account...
Either way, thanks for working on it!
Woo!!! New things on womrealms.com! awesome!
how do i join a clan?
Spin around in a circle 10 times and jump over a stick.
To join a clan, you need to have 35,000 rep.
Go to http://www.womrealms.com/
Log in
Click edit
Then click on the "Reputation store" button
And click buy now under that clan application
Fill out the application
Decide which clan you want to join from this list: http://www.womrealms.com/clans.php
Ask the leader of that clan to send you an invite
If you get the invite, accept it
If they do not invite you, choose another clan
maybe if the clan owner sets to Free Join people who want to join can just join without eny hasle of making an app and the clan leader inviting

That seems like it could cause a lot of problem to let them just automatically enter. That means just ANYONE who's register can enter, and welcome the trolls.
This would be a great way to introduce clans like mine.

I agree that the application system could be greatly improved, it is very annoying when someone who doesn't full understand the system is asking everyone if they have clans, then when they are told how it works, they start bugging clan leaders until they are accepted.
I love your idea about the different enrollment options, that would be great.
And don't worry about lots of lengthy suggestions, where do you think the new ideas for World of Minecraft come from?
