Rule against similar clan names
We know that having similar names to staff is bannable offence and forbidden.
But there is no such rule against having similar names with clans. So anybody can create a clan like Aipha with capital i, or flow woth o instead of 0, or fi0w or fiow with capital i...h4ck, etc.
I think this is nust wrong and nobody wants to see this happen. A rule against it is welcomed.

You can hogg all names similar to your name with alts...but you cand protect youself from this as a clan.

I propose that clan mods think about this and give a resonable feedback.

I have to raise an eyebrow at how in your mind a clan is especially unique because of it's name rather than the members and what the clan does.

No. I do not support this. As long as there is no impersonation going on I see no strong enough reason for this suggestion (especially when talking about a name that's just such a common word like Flow)

So, if it’s an uncommon clan name such as The Last Legion and someone made a clan named Last Legion, or The L4st Legion, you wouldn’t be bothered by it at all? I mean as long as they’re not directly mocking or parodying your clan, they can go around telling people they’re in The L4st Legion. I mean if someone made a clan named 4lpha and publicized the fact they’re in 4lpha to people who lack the knowledge to know the difference between Alpha and 4lpha, I’d be a lil flustered. But as long as they’re not directly ripping us off, it’s chill right?

Most definitely, yeah. I have no problem with it either way, and when you basically try to copyright a word like Flow then it seems even more ridiculous. Yeah, I do really think this is a ridiculously insecure suggestion.

Wile I'm at it, wouldn't I also be allowed to create a clan called tribe, I mean obviously tribe isn't Tribe at that point?

i think if you did that with icky then you would get like admin impersonation probably so whats the difference with doing the same with a clan.

i think its pretty dumb for clans to do that because a future legendary clans like [Alpha] or [i], a clan i was in for almost 2 years, shouldnt be taken by a clan called something like [Aipha] (using capital i of course) and the same with inq...

Supported, thanks insanity this was needed to be said
I find this a decent resolution
A shitty clan wont last anyway. And a troll clan should be shut down. A good serious clan will pick a original name to begin with because thats the point of clans. To create a smaller comunity of players, that want to be different and do their own thing

Besides that almost every variation of somewhat famous people names are already taken and someone made an alt with that name at some point.
