leaving all clans a carbon copy of the UFF.
now that's scary all clans like the G.A.Y.
QUOTE
Other clans can and do what they want making slaves of players, making demand on them to remain in these exclusive natured clans. And we can do what we want to fight against such.
they arent slaves you dumb
{bleep}QUOTE
But if UFF is to be esteemed as bogus, so is all other clanning in Runescape and the game itself, bogus.
runescape? yeah... bogus...
QUOTE
You don't like how other clans are being painted as "gay"? Well they painted themselves that, we only saw it for what it is. Granted, they will have their opinions of us, which some here wish to express. It is expected and was expected from the start.
what if i say you are gay and are painting yourself gay?
no... but then that would be me flaming a member and i would get WARNED
QUOTE
UFF is not flaming against individual clans by name, nor against individual players. Our use of the term "gay" emphasizes how we esteem the nature of their exclusive clanning. You are all taking this way much too personally. You defend the nature of control-clanning as you would your mothers!
well like i said if my definition of gay was uff... WARNED/SUSPENDED
QUOTE
Everytime you say that i laugh..
You act as if everyone who joins a req clan is forced into it and forced to stay in it and then hates their life and wishes they could leave but some magical force is keeping them from doing so. They have freedom, they can do what they want in the clan, they just need a level to get in the clan TO BE WITH PEOPLE THEIR OWN LEVEL.
Im 122 and **** off would i be pking with a level 40, theres no reasoning to even do so.
A-F***ING-MEN ech!
QUOTE
Having a restrictive society is an objectionable matter.
not many clans are like seed... which is a community!
most are large wild teams...

Yes, or from what I understand.
You appear to be saying requirements for clans are bad.
Therefore all clans that require members to be certain levels to join are bad.
Am I on the same page as you here?
Exclusive requirements in clanning are bad. It breeds high-minded attitudes in players where they come to look down on others.
It makes the clan bad by establishing a poor foundation for clanning.
Howbeit, requirements for joining wilderness teams are necessary.
It is important for teams to be of trusted friends. To disqualify some players from a wilderness trip can be understood to be for the lower-level player's own sake. Also, it might not be fair for a higher-level player to always be seeking to protect the lower-level players continually.
If you have clans that will welcome every level player but have different teams with various levels of qualifications, this would be well acceptable. It would benefit all level players alike and would function for the good harmony and well-balance of a Runescape clan.
Why cannot higher-level players, for example, train lower-level players without simply doing so by raising the bar on them by penalty of exclusion?
a simple yes/no would have been great but thank you for your... *counts* 300th speech
QUOTE
Like the mother who says her destructive little devilish-behaving boy is really a good boy at heart. It doesn't change matters. The exclusion is damaging.
so is it wrong that i would keep out not only little kids but noobs from a halo2 clan?
(no offence but ive lost 2 microphones to them so far and i almost lost a third)
QUOTE
The Wilderness Guardians, despite their attempt to control the wilderness for themselves by their own rules, have a junior clan called the Descendent Guardians. With tolerance this is esteemed as some effort to welcome lower levels.
are they the ones who told you to go away?
