    How to make a good looking clan thread?

    For a good looking clan thread, you need to work on these points:
    - It needs to look nice
    - It's needs to be informative
    - It needs to be organised


    Thread Title
    You can pimp up the title of your thread.
    This can make it look interesting so more people will click on it.
    You can pimp it up a bit, but don't make it to busy / detailed.

    Examples:
    >>> Clan Name <<<
    | Clan Name |
    >| Clan Name |<
    { Clan Name }
    [ Clan Name ]
    >[ Clan Name ]<



    Setup
    The setup of your clan thread is really important,
    a good setup makes your thread more organised.
    As I did in this thread, I prefer to align my text in the center.

    How to do this:
    [​IMG]

    I recommend to not use colours in the most parts of your thread.
    This can make it a bit chaotic and it doesn't look that nice.

    For a organised clan thread I would use the following order:
    Clan Name / Picture or Logo / Both - (Clan) Staff -
    Requirements - Rules - Blacklist - How to become Mod -
    (Extra) - (Extra) - (Extra)

    I prefer to customise my clan thread like this:
    | Clan Name | - Bold, Font Size 7
    | (Clan) Staff | - Bold, Font Size 6
    | Requirements | - Bold, Font Size 6
    | Rules | - Bold, Font Size 6
    | Blacklist | - Bold, Font Size 6
    | How to become Mod(erator) | - Bold, Font Size 6
    | (Extra) | - Bold, Font Size 6
    | (Extra) | - Bold, Font Size 6
    | (Extra) | - Bold, Font Size 6


    How to do this:

    Clan Name
    As the thread name, you can also pimp your clan name a bit up in the thread itself.
    You can either do it in the same way as you did in the title or maybe a bit different.
    You can also just only write your clan name.
    I don't recommend to use a colour, in my eyes that doesn't look nice.
    You can also use a picture or a clan logo (or both) at the top of your thread.
    This makes it even more interesting and it makes the thread look nicer.
    Under your clan name you van also give a bit information
    or an sort of intro about your clan.


    (Clan) Staff
    I recommend to organise this part a lot,
    so people know how the staff in your clan works.
    You can choose what kind of staff ranks you want by yourself.
    You can also choose between tagging the staff
    or just type them in the thread.
    You can colour the ranks, to pimp it a bit up.

    How to do this:
    [​IMG]

    Example:
    Owner
    <PlayerName>

    Mods

    <PlayerName>
    <PlayerName>
    <PlayerName>



    Requirements
    As the clan staff, you can choose the clan requirement by yourself.
    This can be, a minimum level / KDR / amount of kills, or handpicked.
    You first write down the requirements, after that more information if needed.


    Rules
    In the most clans, rules are really important.
    The rules say a lot about your clan, so make them carefully.
    I recommend to make it really organised, so that people can easily check them out.
    To make your clan more detailed, you can also make rules for Mods only.
    If you want, you can type an enter after each rule.
    You can write them down Bold or Italic (next to Bold) if you want.
    You can also write numbers in front of the rules or just use a ' - '.

    Example:
    1. Rule

    2. Rule

    3. Rule


    etc.

    Example:
    - Rule
    - Rule
    -Rule

    etc.


    Blacklist
    This one is simple.
    You first give some information about your blacklist,
    like, how players can get (out of) it and how the clan deals with the blacklist.
    I recommend to use a spoiler for the blacklist where you can write down the names.

    How to do this:
    [​IMG]


    How to become Mod
    Every clan has it's own Mod requirements.
    What you write under here you can decide by yourself.
    Just give the information what people have to do to become mod,
    or what stats they need for mod.


    (Extra)
    If you have something else that you want to have / write in your clan thread,
    I recommend to do this at the end.



    Thread Design


    | Clan Name |

    (clan logo / picture)

    (information / intro (doesn't need to be in Italic))



    | Staff |

    Owner
    You


    Mods
    Mod
    Mod
    Mod



    | Requirements |

    Requirements (doesn't need to be in Italic)


    | Rules |

    - Rule 1
    - Rule 2
    - Rule 3
    - Rule 4
    - Rule 5
    (more if you want)


    | Blacklist |

    (Information (doesn't need to be in Italic))
    Player Name (- reason)
    Player Name (- reason)
    Player Name (- reason )
    etc.


    | How to become Mod |

    Information what players have to do to become mod /
    requirements to become mod (doesn't need to be in Italic)


    | Extra |
    (doesn't need to be 'Extra')

    Something extra you want to write about your clan
    or an shoutout to a player, do what you want
    (doesn't need to be in Italic)
