And do, you don't have to change the nomenclature or description. It's a simple button that creates that statement in the usergroup panel.
Then once again you're proving the point I made. Too many submenus cause confusion. Where's the list of rules about "How to make sure your competitive group, closed group, or open group appears in the forum you want it to appear in."
For that matter, if someone is "competitive" why isn't the title of the thing called "Competitive" rather than "Clan."
So, by default - if, according to what Gilligan suggests - if a clan (which technically doesn't exist now, right?) is NOT a closed group, then that means that any clan is open for anyone to join? Wait, no, that would then mean it's open which would be listed under ... but there isn't a place on the forum called "competitive." In fact, my "closed group" is listed within the subheaders of the subheaders of the forums as a (cough cough) CLAN which means it should be wherever other clans are found which gilligan implies are found somewhere other than where they are. Unless, of course, he's just trolling and putting out answers to derail the topic.
Which is, of course, the new format has too many subheadings, burying information that we would prefer more immediate access to. The numbers of subheadings can cause confusion (and again Gilligan has illustrated the point by intimating that because a clan is a closed group it isn't a clan at all.)
Whether he's right or whether he's wrong, it's confusing and annoying to have to go into all the subheaders or get a doctorate to figure out where something is buried.
Speaking of where things are buried, several posts here wonder where they buried the rules. Anyone happen to dig that grave up yet?
