There have been many clubs made and locked for quite some time in the tavern. Some people want clubs, others don't, and we need to create a median between the two.
Explain why you either support or don't support clubs and what you think the guidelines for making clubs should be and how clubs should be run and anything else you would like to add.
I myself beleive that clubs should be a meeting place, not a discussion place. Let us pretend their was an anime club. I would expect to see posts about the following in it:
1. Updates on anime (new episodes, products, so on) 2. Links to other anime thread 3. General anime questions and answers
*I also believe that any member wishing to create a club should talk about their club ideas to a mod before making one. Though it is not a rule, I highly recomend users start doing that.
Things I would not want to see in the club:
1. Long discussions about a particular anime (a seperate thread should be created) 2. General chat 3. A bunch of ranks, points, and ways to be rewarded with points. I would not mind a friendly competition, but it should be made in a new thread and it should not promise any AP nor any guild points/ranks. It should be for fun.
The above was an example. Club expectations would varry on the type of club.
So give me your own ideas and your own opinions. Please remember to respect other people's opinions here.
Well, I've read this post only after setting up the ANP. Dang! Ok, a few questions. Instead of a club, can I set up a 'olitical party', like a mock one.
My D&D Club (7 members! =)) hasn't been shut down.
And so on...
Other then my D&D Club, what does the rest have in common?
- They both have a reason - They both attract members, so there isn't just 2 people spaming - They both has structure - They both have rules - They both do not involve ranks, and points
Do you get it now?
Don't get me wrong, I am all for clubs, as long as they vaguely follow these points.
