The following is the minimum criteria for having Established Clan status.

This status is not awarded as a sign of elitism but to encourage a more community feel to these forums and so some of the guidelines below have been updated to reflect this. If you feel something should be added please let me know.



<UL TYPE=SQUARE>
<LI>Clan must have a minimum of 4 active members
<LI>The clan must have succesfully completed one full season (this is subject to change)
<LI>The host most post a clan thread on this forum and members should pst regularly (more than once a season) on their progress
<LI>Public disputes and in-fighting on these forums is not permitted and will lead to a clan being stripped of the Established Clan Status
<LI>The clan should play at least once a week

</UL>

The following are not requirements but enhance the community and so should your clan follow these guidelines it will improve of their chances of being awarded Established Clan status.

<UL TYPE=SQUARE>
<LI>Clans should have their own dedicatd website.
<LI>Recruitment for new members should take place via these forums in the first instance
<LI>Allowing your members being part of more than one clan should be discouraged as this takes up places for newer online players and develops a "closed shop" feel to our community.
<LI>The recruitment of newbies is positively encouraged
</UL>

PLEASE NOTE
Established Clan status will be awarded at the discretion of the FMO moderating team. If you feel you qualify you should drop us a line and we will consider your inclusion.

Remember, these guidelines are not set in stone, dont think because you meet the requirements that you will automatically be an established clan.
