Clans are a large part of the community, to make names more available and to reduce the numbers for moderating purposes we're introducing new guidance and some new rules soon. Clans that have been inactive for 3+ years will be closed.

Clans that qualify for the closure scheme will have a mass message sent and a thread created so any appeal can be lodged, in case another member can take over if the leader is inactive. Or the leader must lay out why it shouldn't be closed.

All clans are under this, only exception are staff clans and gang clans. To avoid a stress riot I can easily explain that this targets those that are completely dead, those that have a post once every 6 months are fine, those that have 1 post a year are still fine.

Aim is to reduce numbers, free up name space and hopefully make it easier for moderation purposes.
