I see where you are coming from, but I feel like we are overvaluing the importance of clan names to the core playerbase. Forbidding the majority of the playerbase to use certain words because a minority !feels! impersonated doesn't seem good. Most other online games have similar views on that. Sure, these communities are often much larger than TB, but I feel like it would cause a lot of trouble if we made up the rule to regulate clan names. It's hard to make a cut really on what's ok and what isn't. I am totally on Foxy's side, the community will react to it and these clans won't be successful. If it really gets to impersonating, maybe mimicking the clan's board, the member name etc. it would be really obvious what the clan is trying to do.


You kind of revoked your own statement with this. Beginners don't know anything about NO, Urban or any other known clan, especially when they aren't around anymore. I can't really see how that would look like: "Hey, so there was a clan in like 2009 that was really well known among our core playerbase at that time. I know it was 9 years ago, but please choose another name."?

But it's an interesting topic and there should be more clear rules about it, yes. Kane's post makes it confusing and an official statement would be nice.
