A suggestion would be to take Ziroc's posted rule...implement our own game rules such as the afore-mentioned rule posts, and I can sticky note it for everyone. That way, nobody has to re-write the rules and the same rule applies to all games. (Basic rules...if there are modifications to the rule, and they comply with Ziroc's base...then each clan is entitled to make modifications...on that thread, due to the nature of the game.
Am I going anywhere with this?
Well yes, those rules are clear. But often there is no indication of who is welcome in a game or not. Maybe as well as rules of the game people could be required to post if anyone can join in, clan members only, predetermined people only, etc. And clans could include how to join their clan. I edited the ORT thread to include these things which was just a few lines, but I think this will make it easier for everyone, and make sure people aren't afraid to join a game they think they might not be welcome in.
