I didn't want NairX's clan thread to be derailed so I moved the posts here. Some information about house clans. This is a free service provided by us which takes quite some time to set up and integrate with the site because i have to custom code it in each time. We have quite a few requests from clans who aren't even active or will not make a good fit, and we can't accept all applications.
Nobody is "entitled" to have a house clan, it is not your right. Being around for 1 year as a shitty bad manner clan doesn't matter. We give house clan status to deserving clans and hope the exposure encourages them to grow bigger and stronger. Do we want to encourage a shitty bm clan to be a bigger shitty bm clan? Absolutely not.
Two shinning examples of clans that have benefited from our house clan system and were a perfect match with us are ToR and mGG. They started as really small SC2SEA house clans and through good leadership and dedication went on to receive hundreds of recruitment applications through the automated form provided. Having good leadership is very important and that's one of the differences that made them stand out from the rest.
House Clan criteria:
Mature and dedicated leader - This is very important or your clan will just be inactive / dissolve through internal conflict. Having a good OP created is a sign of dedication and so is encouraging and motivating your members and dealing with them internally when they **** up (instead of supporting them regardless just because you're in the same clan)
Activity on SC2SEA - This is another huge one, if you're not active before you're a house clan you're not going to be active after being a house clan. There is no point having your own forums here if they aren't being used, so get your members to participate actively.
Respectable behaviour - We don't want to associate with clans who behave poorly that will tarnish the image of sc2sea or 'esports' in our region. Bad manner clans need not apply, you can make your own homepage simple as that.

On the topic of IXL, i actually gave them the benefit of the doubt and set up a page for them a long time back in Jan. http://www.sc2sea.com/view_ixlhome.htm I told IXLives to msg me when its ready and their info was added in. In fact, most of it is already done. IXLives told me to wait on announcing it because they were creating their own new site. Recent immaturity from their members who have no clue what went on have made me reconsider. (i.e Malice's post below which was actually made before this OP).
I have moved the rest of the posts from the NairX thread over here. This thread can be used to discuss house clan status for clans on the consideration listt and you can recommend clans that deserve to be house clans.
This OP looks so beautiful. Do your members use this forum actively too? If not there's no point a house clan cause the forums are a big part. Do let me know!
Would love to see an updated op with links to your clan wars and some of your members profiles on sc2sea
Are you actually serious, or is this a joke?
IXL has been around for about a year and are active here and we've been asking for house clan constantly, but we continue to get ignored. We have hosted two open cups where our leaders forked money out of their own pockets, we have members active on this forum, we came 3/4 in seacl tier 2. Some rando clan comes along with a bunch of diamond players who practice on SEA, and immediately you're their best mate and want to give them house clan.
Just because you don't like a clan doesn't mean they aren't a big part of the community. This is why people leave this forum, and the community continues to get smaller and smaller. Even the admin of the site is bullying people, which is going to shuffle people out of the site, and lead to people leaving the scene. I love some of the people on this site, but this is just absolute bullshit, and it's a spit in the face to Runamok and Lives who have worked hard to be a part of the community by hosting these events, and running clan wars.

Apologies if im wrong but wasn't it some of the guys from IXL that were, i guess you could say 'bullying' the guys from mGG? I know its past it was resolved but from what i know it doesn't seem like IXL have the best image despite the efforts from runamok and co.

I'm yet to meet a nice person from NairX. Even Oclel came into sc2sea chat one day claiming a person from FS was being bm to him after a game that Oclel lost and linked a screenshot of said FS person being bm. Later he admitted that he said something like "it's funny that noobs can cheese and win" essentially provoking the response.
Partnered with my own meeting with a NairX person (whose name I can't remember :\ ) which was also pretty mean, he raged at me after I won a ZvZ against him. I wasn't around when IXL got their BM reputation (assuming it wasn't in the last 7 months) and I've only met pretty nice IXL people. Nama, Malice, RuineD (occasionally he is okay) IcedTea, Krelsin etc.
It's Nirv's decision in the end on who gets houseclan etc. but I think IXL do deserve it more than NairX do.

Seconded. Nirv decides in the end, but I'd like to put my input in this situation too if that's fine.
IMO in terms of this House Clan thing I do think IXL does deserve it more. Okay, sure they did some pretty stupid shit in the past and they do have people that people don't like in general. But I've never had a problem with them and there's a lot of well mannered members in it. Besides, IXL is quite active and are contributing to the community, and if they do stupid shit they apologize anyway (e.g. that whole mGG/IXL drama shenanigans).
NairX isn't really active on sc2sea compared to IXL is and yeah Oclel had a go at a lot of people in the chat after he showed someone on FS was apparently being BM and then it turns out he started it in the first place. Hell, I've not heard a single good word regarding NairX so far at all, mainly just a bunch of them being BM to other people in the community.
They haven't been in here for long, and considering that they've already got quite a lot of negative reputation from members of the community right off the bat, they do have a lot to prove to deserve a House Clan spot here, or really deserve a spot in our community at all.

Oh i have no idea about nairx... never played or seen any of them talk, was just pointing out one of the possible reasons why IXL have been having trouble getting into house clans.

Nono it's okay, I have turned IXL's mGG Circlejerk subreddit into a thriving community of 4 readers
Edit: On a more serious note, I can understand Malice's frustrations, but making an aggressive post towards a clan on their announcement thread that are new to the community seems incredibly bm to me, especially when they've put so much effort into announcing themselves and have not made any offensive actions in this thread (I'm assuming it was nirvAnA's post that provoked Malice). Not saying that you guys are wrong or you're opinions aren't valid, especially the bm with FS, but this thread seems like the worst place to talk about it ;_;

User has received an infraction for this post. Accumulation of points pass a certain number will result in automatic bans.
Anyhow, things have been said it's best to just leave it to them to sort it out themselves. A few of us have said our opinions on the matter but that's all we can do, upto the bosses to decide who gets house or not.

"Respectable behaviour - We don't want to associate with clans who behave poorly that tarnish the image of esports. Bad manner clans need not apply, you can make your own homepage simple as that." How can NairX be considered then?
