This is a much better direction for the discussion, thank you.

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.
Multi-clan systems are a hacky, messy, hard-to-keep-track-of and potentially damaging subversion of the toriclan system which attempt to solve issues which may otherwise be legitimate.
Finally,
clan staff and some higher ups are currently working on a project specific to clans with beginners in mind. Change should not come from reckless action; use the S&I board if you have ideas like sub-clans so they can be discussed properly. If the specific staff group related to your idea isn't responding, poke them.
