I rather 'lock' or, even better, 'lock and archive'.

I got bored and browsed a few large, but old clubs. They deserve to be displayed somehow.

True, but honestly- do we need to see the useless clubs that were made for spam?

I have join many in my day but when a club becomes a spam hole club I stop posting in the club or I try make the club better.

But one person alone can't do a lot.

It's better just to delete the inactive clubs. This section does need work, because I get tired of people bumping clubs no one posts in. =\
[/quote]
This. Most of the clubs past page 6 or so are most likely dead / severely inactive. It's almost the same Clubs on the first page every day.

[Anti-Apocryphal]

That's my point.
Here's the idea:
Delete all clubs that are inactive/don't have anyone posting anymore, unless it was one of the more legendary clubs.

[b]Shadow Zero[/b], do you want to be the [b]Clubs & Organiztions[/b] Representative?

So you want to save a couple of clubs and just delete the rest? How would people judge which clubs should be saved?

This is a much better idea rather than a nuking of C&O, but most likely will take quite some time to do.

Just look through the threads that haven't had posts in 2+ Months or so, or at least something along those lines.

Name - I forgot
Ideas - replace inactive mods. Strict C&O moderation. Make contests more active.
Why do you want to join? - I demand representing the Contests and 1v1 Forums

I was more interested on what Future Paradise thought would be classified as a 'legendary' club, considering the basic idea is that these clubs be saved from the clean-up.

Ah I see. In my opinion, a legendary club would be those clubs who are always either on page 1, with it being at the end of page 2 at the least. All clubs past page 3 and barely stay on page 1 inactive / dead. Maybe past page 4, page 3, you never know really.

Another thing, not to complain or anything, but isn't the Sticky Rotating still valid? Because if so, shouldn't have there been a sticky rotation somewhere in October? Because I think Clubs such as this and YCMthropology should be stickied, rather than some of the stickied +1 Clubs as of right now. No offense to the other clubs I may have offended.

Also, just read the front page. So....can I fill out a form to become a representative in Realistic Cards? Or am I missing something from what I had read? Just want to double check and make sure, don't want to break the rules or anything, even though it isn't really a rule.

[Bahamut - Envoy of the End]

Name - Matt Bahamut
Ideas - Constantly thinking about them. Some more successful than others. First of all bring the bloody rep history back.
Why I want in - Want to take an active role on this site. Because I really like being here, and it's depressing how stagnant the site's got in the last few months.

On the clubs and organizations, I think that club's should have a point or they just become nothings full of spam. And there are several of them. I think Clubs should be approved by a moderator in the same way debates are, and just allow clubs that have a new and specific purpose. As for saving legendary clubs, everything must die someday.

I think YCM would be a better community if people got to know each other better, and would be more inclined to comment on cards made by their friends online. Obviously there are a minefield of issues here, but having a revamped profile - like with a blog or favourites sections or something would be good. Probably not that original ideas, but I think you should be able to put more personality into your profile.

Ps would be very interested in being a Representative if deemed appropriate.

I never said that ALL large clubs are archived.

It would specially selected by a group of C&O professionals and mods, or even C&O Representatives from this club. Of course, some smaller but unique clubs can also be archived.

Even though your not yet accepted, that is true. Clubs these days can easily just become a thread for +1 Post Count, on the other hand, some people don't care about Post Count. And true once again about everything dieing, then again, it depends what is dieing. Yes, that does sound confusing.

On an unrelated note to what I had just quoted, my previous question has still not been answered about if we can fill an Application to become a Representative for a certain Forum or so. But for now, if it is, think you can [b]reserve Realistic Cards / Finished Sets?[/b] I don't want anybody trying to get that before me, seeing I'm still not sure if I can fill an application or not.

[Anti-Apocryphal]

If you're a member and want to be a Representative, [b]don't bother with filling out the [u]Representative Form[/u][/b]. I'll put you up for the section. Also, Smesh and Matt Bahamut are accepted.

Back on the topic of clubs, what I mean by legendary are the ones who had a huge amount of members that post almost 24/7. Even clubs w/ Supers that joined along with 5 & 6 star members. That's what I mean.

[.Starrk]

Is their a possibility of making clubs that are full of spam, post count doesnt count?

So pretty much the threads that are always on page 1 / barely on page 2 / never on page 3 and beyond. That's how I look at it that is.

Ala the Games and Out of Character Planning sections. How could you definately differentiate what clubs would fall into post count/non-post count? Can you make them change half-way through?

I thought that's a spam club. You're messing up my knowledge now.

Any examples though? I don't get it.

Well, 'legendary' clubs that have people posting 24/7 can go either way as a club filled with spam, or a club that's well, not.

[Anti-Apocryphal]

That depends on how you look at it:

24/7 [b]On-Topic Clubs[/b]: Clubs that are always on-topic and have a bunch of posts.

24/7 [b]Off-Topic Clubs[/b]: Clubs that aren't organized and can't keep up with a topic.

[snowyash]

What about dead clubs that had an excellent reputation? Would they be considered "legendary"? Maybe the lock and archive thing that Daft Innovation brought up could save these as well.

Inactive and/or off-topics are probably in need of "purging", but that's not to mean that all of them necessarily deserve it.

Oh right, on topic. Got it.

We need more members to make this presentable to the mods.

[Anti-Apocryphal]

Ok guys, here is our first election! We have nine members, so the majority vote has to be five.

Ballot:

We are voting to get legendary clubs archived and 1-3 page inactive clubs deleted.
[b]Legendary Clubs[/b]: Clubs that had a bunch of pages and a huge amount of members that posted.
[b]Inactive Clubs (1-3 pages)[/b]: Title explains all.


Vote:
[b]Yes[/b]: Archive the [b]Legendary Clubs[/b]! Delete the [b]Inactives[/b]!
[b]No[/b]: Don't delete the [b]Inactives[/b] and don't archive [b]Legendary Clubs[/b].
