@Fee your issues can be much more easily resolved with higher membercaps / no membercaps and 'trial' ranks or etc.
This approach has far too much attached to it.
As an aide, if a clan doesn't want somebody to wear their tag because they don't fit their image, then just don't add them to your clan? TLL gets a lot of people poking me ingame asking to join; I tell them to hang out in our discord or to post around for a while. If we don't like them, then they don't get invited.
@Butler yes, we could let feeder clans exist and then continually check up and monitor them to ensure they're being used exclusively as trail / training periods for the real official membership (or whatever other innocuous reason a feeder clan might have for existing). However the benefits of feeder clans are so far and few between, and only applicable to the parent clan, that I don't see a reason to allow them and then work continually to maintain a system with so few pros and so many cons. Again, feeder clans are not the worst thing in history, but I just don't see why we'd ever allow them. 95% of other official clans get along completely fine without them.
@Wicked just because something has happened in the past, doesn't mean its a good thing. I'm (not speaking for all clan staff) fine with the image of clan staff going into the pits of hell / annoying some people if it means implementing something which should be implemented.
@Surge implying a feeder clan and its parent clan as being two completely separate entities is silly.

See my response to Fee's post; this is a terrible approach to trail membership.

Because a reviving clan does not have two recruitment threads, a board, a manpower of
many active members. A reviving clan needs to gather together its old members who may not even be active anymore - it has no leg-ups compared to a regular unofficial clan: it's a group of friends or like-minded people who clan together for some purpose and who run through the process until they want to become official, which they still must apply for.
