To clear the air a bit more, at least with kildau and sgc:
When I made fv it was with the explicit intention of bringing a bit more life to the clans section by making a competitive clan. To this end, it was my policy from the beginning to look for quality members that weren't already actively on a clan roster, as well as why I wanted interested individuals to pm me/seek other avenues of getting in touch with me so that we could discuss. Many people have, and largely this has not been a problem. Paragon in particular pm'ed me asking to join fv saying that he wanted to leave SIN to join my clan, I talked it over a bit in game with him and decided that it wouldn't be too much of a problem. Kildau was in the server at the time and he understood that I wasn't trying to poach his players.
Kildau, I appreciate this thread because it brings light to a real issue that I very much wanted to avoid.
Paragon, my clan has never been open invite, and I've worked to curate the roster to keep multiple things in mind. You've shit the bed for both me and kildau by shilling out of your own volition.
