Clan channel advertisement

In order to reduce the amount of spam on the yell channel, the law "no advertising a clan channel on yell unless it's your own" was introduced quite some time ago. However, there has been a lot of controversy over this and a lot of people seem to disagree with the rule.

Therefore, I wanted to ask for your opinion: do you think this rule should be revoked in order to make our rules simpler (+ freedom of speech) or should we keep it to make sure yell doesn't get spammed with clan channel advertisement? Or do you have alternative suggestions in regards to this?

Please note that this poll will NOT determine whether we will keep the law or not, I simply want to know what the opinion of the community is on this. Whether it will stay, be removed or be changed will be decided by myself, but getting the players their opinion will help me to make that decision.

I think this law is a good one. I didn't like the yell spams.... This also makes it impossible that clanleaders force members to yell ^^ Just keep it like this...

You Can advertise the Clan Chat IF you are on the Same Ip as the Owner of the Clan chat.
Thats just my idea :D

As of right now, mods mute for just saying the clan name even if you arent tryin to 'advertise'. We should be able to say our clan name, without gettin a mute.

Also idk how far this will go but i think if a clan of 5 or so yells "#tk" it should be okay:) i believe it adds more competition and this is a competitive game, especially pking

With Sam gone I don't think we need the rule anymore.

Before this rule was implemented, clan advertisements were the most annoying fucking thing on this server.

I really like this rule and I don't think it should be removed.

I think if we are to keep it, it would need some modifications, i.e if we allow discussions, people will loophole that to advertise their clan.

Keep the rule, no advertising of the channel.

But specify what it actually is,

So no saying "Join _______ best clan ever"

But allow discussions of clans.

I think it's hard to draw lines if you do this. We need good rules, so people are not able to discuss about getting muted or not. I think the flaming on mods will be higher if they have to draw lines theirselves.

They already do.
