Alright, lets get started shall we?

First of all, joining a clan needs a lot of posts count because if someone doesn't have a lot of posts then it means that they are not forum active, and if you recruit a lot of non forum active people then guess what? The clan will die from inactivity from the forum and your dreams for gaining official will be crushed.

Second of all, belt counts because it shows that the clan might have a good reputation, seriously what if you saw someone in the clan JollyR and they were only a yellow belt with about 20 posts? You would not think very highly of that clan now would you?

PS: Don't spam random messages just to get into a clan, that is being a dick. As a matter of fact I think you are doing it now with all of these damn threads you have open....

Well as I as many others can probably tell you, what you've said isn't entirely true. As a black belt that was new to the forums with less than 20 posts I joined my first clan Fyre which was official. I was given a chance because of my application and willingness to prove my interest in the clan by consistently checking up on my application status, same thing with my second clan Tea. My point is it's not as black and white as belt and post count, there are many other factors such as consistency, have you ever played or talked with anyone in the clan before?, will you check on your application? have you made an attempt to get to know the clan or just pop-up out of the blue?. If you are brand new to a clan and it's members then you're just a blank face with stats, and that's where belt, post count, bans, past clans etc. comes in, because without knowing anything about you all they can use to judge you is your statistics. As you've seen at least once or twice, some people know eachother so well they get into a clan with a simple ''invite me''.

Because clans want members that they know aren't likely to embarrass or forget about them.

Really isn't a discussion topic, though I do appreciate the effort put into some of these posts.
