Top Clans - Important Announcement

Top Clans - Important Announcement

18th Jul 2018 - 1:38pm

Our Top Clans section has seen a great level of activity in the past few months, with some clans streaking ahead and proving their popularity to the masses.

We're coming to the end of our trial period of this feature, and will soon be implementing a monthly reset to the voting leaderboard.

So why are we having a monthly reset?

  • It keeps the list fresh. Every month, there's the chance to be the winner for existing and new clans.
  • It's all in an effort to give a fair chance to new arrivals, and stop long-standing clans from dominating the list.

The first reset will occur on 1st August 2018, and every month thereafter.

We always value our community's views on the changes we make. Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

EDIT: Based on popular feedback from clans, we're postponing this reset until we have completed our new one-click voting system.

I think it's good with a reset but maybe consider having some kind of base feature that you get to keep some of the votes or etc? Maybe having a sorting on hottest or most viewed or etc. Because asking others to go in and vote is of course possible but it's not optimal. The larger clans will still be able to pull out the same numbers per month which make the reset more in my opinion an annoying part rather than a productive one if you strive to boost newer communities. 

On another matter, I have recently seen that some clans are LFC recomended. Is their any process or anything a clan can do to achieve that status?

Would also like to see an increased amount of games, I know there were some suggested on an earlier blog post and there is more that could be added.

Thanks Dreamus! Understood, while we'll be implementing the reset in August, I will explore ways of making voting easier (as appreciate it can be difficult asking clan members to visit / vote every month).

Perhaps we could open this up to public voting? So that it's a simple visit / click (no need to register first).

We could even look at creating direct links that register votes (i.e, a link you can post on your site / discord for easy access).

---------------------

Regarding the "LFC Recommended" feature, we've just published a "Premium Profiles" feature for this very purpose. Full details can be found at:

https://lookingforclan.com/news/introducing-premium

It's all in an effort to help fund the hosting / development of the site.

As a way of saying thank you for all your input / suggestions so far, I've added 5 premium days to your profile :)

---------------------

We're also very open to new game suggestions. Generally, we make a call on whether to add them based on age / popularity.

Please do ping me a new list! I know we found your original listing super useful and added several of the suggested titles.

Yeah maybe, accounts might still be a good things so there is harder for someone to abuse the system and make for example a bot of some kind to upvote the clan or etc. That you certaintly know better than me how to avoid. I do like the idea though to make it easier for members to do the upvotes (maybe one of those I'm human buttons). A direct link would be awesome.

Thanks for the info on LFC Recomended and I appriciate the gift! Good to hear the feedback had some value.

Finally here is a list, I'm sure I missed some games but these are some I am especially interested in being added:

  • ArcheAge
  • ​​​​​Blackwake
  • Brawlhalla
  • CrossOut
  • Dirty Bomb
  • DC Universe Online
  • Elite Dangerous
  • Empyrion Galactic Survival
  • Far Cry 5
  • Hearts of Iron 4
  • Hell Let Loose
  • Heroes and Generals
  • Insurgency
  • Ironsight
  • Paladins
  • Payday 2
  • Post Scriptum
  • Realm Royale
  • Smite
  • The Crew 2
  • Trove
  • Warface

I of course understand that you take age and popularity into consideration :)

Exactly what we were thinking ;)

Also looking at creating permanent "Award" icons for the top 3 clans each month to display on their profiles so there's some sort of reward for taking part.

Will keep you all posted.
