Clanning Rules(or lackthereof)
Posted: Tue May 05, 2009 9:00 pm
I├óÔé¼Ôäóve noticed that there doesn├óÔé¼Ôäót seem to be any rules on the clanning procedure and because of this, it has created some problems. Firstly, someone was clanned into Valon Guard without the consent of the clan after I had responded to the immortal├óÔé¼Ôäós post. Secondly, someone was clanned into Dreadguards after one person voted yes but the other four people hadn├óÔé¼Ôäót voted.
Now, for the first scenario the person that responded to the imm was a council member, and therefore can clan people. So, the whole point of the imm even making a post on the forum seemed weird, and the fact that I had responded saying there is no need for a vote when I├óÔé¼Ôäóm the only active member and therefore can decide for myself and yet still clanned the guy anyways is nonsensical.
For the second occurrence I├óÔé¼Ôäód simply propose that we get some clanning guidelines set down in stone. That is, 20% of the clan had voted, and this one person had voted yes, you can├óÔé¼Ôäót then go and arbitrarily select a date in which to stop the vote. Just think about if this would happen when voting for a president, using this type of logic you could stop the vote after the first vote and then McCain might have ended up president. So, don├óÔé¼Ôäót tell me my vote doesn├óÔé¼Ôäót matter because I missed the ├óÔé¼┼ôdeadline├óÔé¼┬Ø when no deadline was previously set. I├óÔé¼Ôäód appreciate it if we could get some type of rule set in place be that a week, two weeks, or whatever, that way there is no confusion in the future which is simply the solution I am seeking.
