Yeah there are people like this, but I don’t like yellows/reds, blacklist etc, they aren’t constructive in the slightest, are far too subjective and they give no way back for the user, as they would never get a chance to redeem themselves, as mud generally sticks. This will always happen and no amount of blacklist and cards will stop it. I mean the bloke you mentioned above might just have thought that he didn’t have anything in common with you on a non-cm level, or maybe he just thought you weren’t upto his standard :p, he should have had the decency to inform you of his decision regarding not playing anymore, thats a given, but what one person thinks is a legitimate reason for some form of punishment, another may not, it is just a big can of worms that once opened, ends up causing problems.

I agree with Dogs. I don't feel the community is as tight as it should be. There needs to be a feeling of a community rather than some clans just having some banter.

Im not too sure if a lot can be done about it. The idea of Online Tournaments is not a bad one. However I feel this takes players away from their clan games, it would need to be organised so that no-one has objections to not playing clan games. Personally I would rather just get on with the clan game and leave the rest to banter. We don't need to know who is THE best, there is more to life.

As for this name and shame thingy, it has its pros and cons. It would spoil people having their online fix if they messed up a clan game accidently/with a legitimate reason. However if they are genuinely fools, they need to be taught a lesson. Its a tough one to decipher. I think its all down to personal views by clan members/hosts. I think there should be an unposted blacklist that the mods have. Only dealt with hosts/organisers where persistent offenders should be reprimanded.

I also think having 'recognised' clans pages stickied is not good idea. I can forsee many clans just stickied at the top with no movement in the forum. Maybe a list of recognised clans in order of seniority (if there is to be any segregation) is better.

Goldy I will pop you an email re: FAQs.

I will go away and think of ideas myself as Xmas in the Phenom hoosehold don't exist and I'll be much sober-er

Pat - i'm not sure if you were here when they had the recognised clans at the top of the forum. It was in the forum header with a link to the clan website and topic
