Forum:New Suggestion to the rules ~

While adding Infoboxes to the clans, I've noticed some ver VERY inactive ones along with some that just say, "Coming soon!" yet they have been that way for months.. I am going to suggest a new rule that will keep down clutter:

Clans with no edits for the past three months will be deleted.

However, I do understand that some are for phropecy roleplay. I shall make a template and category for this.

Also, I would add another rule:

If you add, "Coming Soon" to a clan, you have one week to edit the clan, otherwise, it will be deleted, unless it is reserving for prophecy roleplay. Loveleaf! My Talk! 12:18, June 10, 2011 (UTC)

I sugest against this. Sure, it's summer, but some users are enjoying it and are offline, or they still have school. Not every Clan is going to be active because one or more users aren't roleplaying and it's just the creator roleplaying it. ♥Okami Amaterasu: There will always be a dawn!♥  13:15, June 10, 2011 (UTC)

You do realize we have clans that haven't been roleplayed in six-eight months, right? That should be long enough time to actually get members. Some haven't been even started. Loveleaf! My Talk! 14:11, June 10, 2011 (UTC)

Suppose the creator of said Clan hasn't created a roleplay section? ♥Okami Amaterasu: There will always be a dawn!♥  14:12, June 10, 2011 (UTC)

No, your missing my point, we have MANY pages like this -

BlalalaClan!

COMING SOON!

And it has been like that for over three months, most even longer. Loveleaf! My Talk! 14:16, June 10, 2011 (UTC)

A good example of this is ScarClan. Look at it's revision history. Loveleaf! My Talk! 14:20, June 10, 2011 (UTC)

Well, how about this: if users have made a Clan and have not roleplayed in over a month, or even made an edit to the wiki in over a month, their Clans are deleted and any cats they had are considered loners.

If a Clan that is supposedly coming soon does not have a leader, deputy and or medicine cat, they are deleted.

But I stand against the Clans with no edit for three months rule. ♥Okami Amaterasu: There will always be a dawn!♥  14:22, June 10, 2011 (UTC)

Hmm...how about longer than a month? I didn't know I had to leave for four months while we got internet. Maybe not 4 Months long, but still. Longer than a month. Loveleaf! My Talk! 14:25, June 10, 2011 (UTC)

3 months? And I suggest we put up some sort of notice page in case users may be inactive. For example, I will be going to Wyoming for a trip and possibly going to Phoenix, AZ next year. ♥Okami Amaterasu: There will always be a dawn!♥  14:28, June 10, 2011 (UTC)

Well, yes, if it'a a planned inactiveness, it kinda voids out. So how about this:

Users who become inactive without warning for three months will have their clans deleted or put in somebody's leadership, and cats will be turned to be loners, or another user may claim. A clan with no leader, deputy or medicine cat that claims to be coming soon will have one week to gather a leader, deputy and medicine cat and to start roleplaying. Loveleaf! My Talk! 14:33, June 10, 2011 (UTC)

Good idea. ♥Okami Amaterasu: There will always be a dawn!♥  14:35, June 10, 2011 (UTC)

Another suggestion:Users who become inactive without warning for three months will have their clans deleted or put in somebody's leadership, and cats will be turned to be loners, or another user may claim. A clan with no leader, deputy or medicine cat that claims to be coming soon will have one week to gather a leader, deputy and medicine cat and to start roleplaying. However, this excludes prophecy roleplay reservings.

Good idea, again. ♥Okami Amaterasu: There will always be a dawn!♥  14:38, June 10, 2011 (UTC)

Okay, now we just have to show these to the other admins, then. WE SHALL BE ORGANISED! Loveleaf! My Talk! 14:41, June 10, 2011 (UTC)

Well, I'm still working on HogwartsClan and DeatheatersClan. ScarClan will be coming shortly,but again, this is my first day of summer. I oppose against this HIGHLY. Dawn Before Dusk  16:20, June 10, 2011 (UTC)

ScarClan was the first clan ever made (that I can see that's still standing), and still nothing has been done with it. <span style="color:tan;font-family:Segoe Script;background:blue;border:1px dashed; -moz-border-raiuds: 1em; color:lightblue;">Loveleaf! <font color="Blue">My Talk! 16:24, June 12, 2011 (UTC)

Not to seem offensive, but CloudClan is a popular and creative clan. It hasn't been edited in a month. Would you really want to delete that? And what about DuneClan? Some of these clans aren't edited ALL the time, but we need to leave them be, for new users to explore. Why delete clans? ShadeClan is a beloved clan of mine, as well. I object against adding this rule. Period. Dot. Dawn Before Dusk  18:51, June 12, 2011 (UTC)

As we said, it would be three months. If no one bothered to Roleplay in them, why do we need them? All they are is clutter. Beloved clans can die. That's what happens. If you can't bear to see it go, make your own roleplay wiki. <span style="color:tan;font-family:Segoe Script;background:blue;border:1px dashed; -moz-border-raiuds: 1em; color:lightblue;">Loveleaf! <font color="Blue">My Talk! 18:55, June 12, 2011 (UTC)

Okay, I'm changing my opinion. If we followed this rule, many of our Clans and groups would be deleted because a prophecy is going on. ♥Okami Amaterasu: There will always be a dawn!♥  18:58, June 12, 2011 (UTC)

Did you totally miss my rule? If it was for prohecies, it invalidates it! <span style="color:tan;font-family:Segoe Script;background:blue;border:1px dashed; -moz-border-raiuds: 1em; color:lightblue;">Loveleaf! <font color="Blue">My Talk! 19:01, June 12, 2011 (UTC)

Yes, but there's been a Prophecy Roleplay page made. It's a roleplay page, and unless a cat in the most current prophecy waits for the fighting to come to his/her Clan/Group, the other Clans are basically going to be deserted, save a few users dedicated to one particular Clan or Group while the majority of roleplaying done on Prophecy Roleplay. I know there are some exceptions, but this is my take on it. ♥Okami Amaterasu: There will always be a dawn!♥  19:06, June 12, 2011 (UTC)

Okay, look, if no one is dedicated to a clan, then therefore, it doe not need to be needed. Look at ZeldaClan, we only have two people who roleplay, but we are still here. We are dedicated, you could say. If I deserted it, and you deserted it for a whole of THREE MONTHS, then yes, it is not needed. <span style="color:tan;font-family:Segoe Script;background:blue;border:1px dashed; -moz-border-raiuds: 1em; color:lightblue;">Loveleaf! <font color="Blue">My Talk! 19:10, June 12, 2011 (UTC)

I don't care. At this point, I'm refusing to change my mind further: this rule should not be put into effect. I'm staying out of this argument from this point forward. ♥Okami Amaterasu: There will always be a dawn!♥  19:14, June 12, 2011 (UTC)

So the wiki shall stay drowned in inactive clans. Okay, not to be rude, but you said your standpoint, and I will say mine. >:D <span style="color:tan;font-family:Segoe Script;background:blue;border:1px dashed; -moz-border-raiuds: 1em; color:lightblue;">Loveleaf! <font color="Blue">My Talk! 19:25, June 12, 2011 (UTC)

I'm working on making as many clans as active as possible, so this is closed. This rule shall not be added. Dawn Before Dusk  19:51, June 12, 2011 (UTC)

All of three admins saw this. This should not be closed. We have forever many admins, and only two say no. <span style="color:tan;font-family:Segoe Script;background:blue;border:1px dashed; -moz-border-raiuds: 1em; color:lightblue;">Loveleaf! <font color="Blue">My Talk! 19:53, June 12, 2011 (UTC)

I'm agreeing with Phoenix and Violet. Some Clans, we just can't roleplay because other Clan get extremely popular. Plus, it can be hard to come up with ideas when you're busy with other roleplay. <font face="Times New Roman"> Saïx; <font face="Times New Roman"> The Luna Diviner  23:12, June 12, 2011 (UTC)

I agree with Loveleaf. Three months is more than enough time for a prophcey to be done with, and if all you're going to do is roleplay in the prophecy roleplay, then why make a Clan in order to abandon it? Waka; Adieu, petit diable!  23:35, June 12, 2011 (UTC)

Look at it this way, Elorisa:

You make a clan, and then you go and roleplay in another, and then another, and then after a little while (3 months) you come to roleplay on the that clan that you made and it's gone. Your cats are gone. How would you feel to have your creations deleted? Because you got caught up in other things, you lose your creations? Your new cats and clan, gone?

Also, we don't ALWAYS play in Prophecy Roleplay. I do DawnClan, ScarClan, and a load of others, just Prophecy Roleplay absorbs me the most. Scartail's loose, becoming mates with many she-cats!  23:42, June 12, 2011 (UTC)

Well, if you forgot about your Clan, then it wasn't worth making in the first place. I put my Clans before any others, which keeps mine active. Others Clans flourish and others go unnoticed and become inactive. If they do, three months is more than enough time to roleplay on it. Waka; Adieu, petit diable!  00:06, June 13, 2011 (UTC)

If you are too caught up in ONE roleplay, then obviously, your other clans don't matter that much to you. <span style="color:tan;font-family:Segoe Script;background:blue;border:1px dashed; -moz-border-raiuds: 1em; color:lightblue;">Loveleaf! <font color="Blue">My Talk! 14:59, June 13, 2011 (UTC)

^ agreed. Waka; Adieu, petit diable!  15:02, June 13, 2011 (UTC)

Well, I care about all my cats. How would you it if FableClan was deleted for this? DawnClan? Why waste Perfect Clans because you get caught up in a couple other things, too? How would you feel to see roleplay characters you LIKED Vanish completely? I am working currently on making more clans active, too, so this rule is personally unfair to me. Icefeather reads minds! O_O  21:28, June 14, 2011 (UTC)

3 months is more than enough time to get a clan active again. Waka; Adieu, petit diable!  00:31, June 15, 2011 (UTC)

Also, Roleplay cats are literaly words on a screen. They aren't real. They can be modeled after something, yes, but it's words on a screen. If one of your cats got deleted who you couldn't stand to lose. Remnake them, and go into a different clan. <span style="color:tan;font-family:Segoe Script;background:blue;border:1px dashed; -moz-border-raiuds: 1em; color:lightblue;">Loveleaf! <font color="Blue">My Talk! 02:39, June 15, 2011 (UTC

Well I'm sorry you two can't see it the way I see this: A disaster. Icefeather reads minds! O_O  11:29, June 15, 2011 (UTC)

Well, I still stand by my thinking: If you can't just drop in your old clans once in three months, or ANYONE, for that matter can't, it's a waste of space. <span style="color:tan;font-family:Segoe Script;background:blue;border:1px dashed; -moz-border-raiuds: 1em; color:lightblue;">Loveleaf! <font color="Blue">My Talk! 19:14, June 15, 2011 (UTC)

Is that why you want to add the rule? Just because of space problems? Warriors Wiki has way more pages than we do. They should be more concerned about space, not us. ♥Lightning Farron: I Will Defy My Fate!♥  19:29, June 15, 2011 (UTC)

I'm not concered about space. I'm concered that this wiki is highly unorganized with half-way done character pages, duplicate categories, and inactive clans among other things. <span style="color:tan;font-family:Segoe Script;background:blue;border:1px dashed; -moz-border-raiuds: 1em; color:lightblue;">Loveleaf! <font color="Blue">My Talk! 19:57, June 15, 2011 (UTC)
