I haven't been on the site for awhile, but I noticed this the last time I posted here, and just now with my first topic returning to the site. I made a topic asking people if they wanted the guild/clan system called guilds vs clans. My topic was then lumped with a ginormous topic asking whether people wanted guilds/clans implemented to begin with. This gripe isn't personal, but rather a concensus I've come to after seeing this happen a lot. If there is a systematic approach to this type of moderation, I think it should be revised.

Why can't a heterosexual guy tell a heterosexual guy that he thinks his booty is fly?
Sometimes mods and admin in order to clean up a section will mass move or mass merge threads. This is done by selecting tick boxes.
On occasion, threads they do not mean to move or merge get selected, and get lumped in with ones they did want to move, merge or in some cases delete.

-Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's First Law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one, and only, truth.
I figured that that was what happened/is happening, but I think that it hurts the integrity of the forum when a little house cleaning turns into unresponsive threads where you can't express your viewpoint, which, I believe, is the point of a forum.

My topic wasn't about either of those things though. It was about the sheer terminology, i.e. the word clan being used as opposed to the word guild. That subject wouldn't fit in so well in the thread my topic was moved to, not to mention once a thread gets that big it loses attention to other topics. Overall I think the system needs revision in this area.

These two things are too minor to deserve 2 topics. Both go into the main topic of "Guild, Clan" Both are pretty much yes or no questions. I think you need to learn more about thread composition.

If it's sheer terminology, the thread is useless and probably deserves to be in some dictionary thread or spam or polls.

"Should we have guilds / clans and, subsequently, how should they be organized?"
It's the decisions you make when you have no time to make them that define who you are.
