Defiance Data Community: Clans (Brainstorm)

[Mr666]

- clan leaders can create news articles for their clan (public)I don't see why not but I won't use it
- clan leaders can create events for their clan (public)YES to this its always good to have more outlets but maybe have a Defiance event calendar where all clans can post and see for community hosted events by clans too
- all events are shown on an events calendar for the game
- clan leaders can create discussions for their clan (public)I don't see why not but I once again won't use it
- clans can have a shoutbox or chat channel I won't use this but sure
- you must apply to be in a clan and accepted in order to access clan news / events / discussions / shoutbox I think this a must

Thanks for the feedback, so it looks like people are concerned with privacy within a clan in regards to news / events etc. Although I don't think news / discussions / shoutbox would get used much either. So if officers only post public events and not private ones then we don't need the sign up system

[Etaew]

- Added filters to the Clan Index, you can now list clans by Region and Platform
- Added a comments tab to a Clans individual page, for public comments on the clan - example
- Added an images tab to a Clans individual page, for public and clan images - example
- Removed references to News, Events, Discussions and Members.

THOUGHTS
- Should I add a flag for "recruiting"? Or will clans who aren't recruiting not create profiles there?
- How sold are you guys on having a clan public events page? or should that be rolled into a separate events page that anyone can create things for?
- Should I have separate fields for clan website and clan banner? Or is the tooltip / description text enough?

Good changes!

I don't think the recruiting flag is necessary as it's not likely that anyone will use it unless they are looking for more members. I can see benefits to having a separate page for public events, but I think consolidating it would likely be best just to avoid clutter. The tooltip/description section works well for me, but I can't speak for everyone. I'm not currently running a website anymore, so other opinions should hold more weight than mine. lol

Honestly not trying to rain on your parade here Etaew but clans Founders/Leaders/Officers don't regularly post here with events etc. They just about manage to bump thier own recruitment threads in the respective system sections here on the forums.

As far as events go the last one Smiit tried to organise here for the 360 received very little attention and I'm not even sure if it went ahead.

I appreciate the feedback, and yes feedback on participation is what I was waiting for to determine if I should write it. It looks like I probably won't but I do still like the idea of server wide event calendars

If we had that kind of community now, yes great idea. But with the low foot fall in game and even fewer posting here it would seem you're doing a lot of work for nought.
Hey maybe things will pick up who knows right.

I like the recruiting flag idea because I only get 125 members then I stop till some fall off.

I like the anyone can post page because if it clan only it could just be stated there but also this this is a good way to post up community events.

I think the tools are just fine nothing else needed

Yah Bentu I pulled the event off. Mostly because people didnt like the idea and preferred the last one I did.
