This is going to probably be a bit of a sensitive topic for some people in the clan, but I have to bring it up on behalf of the staff, so that we can work towards a solution.
As you all know, we have three main member ranks; Member, Veteran and Guru. These ranks are purely time based, and you are only given these ranks provided you have been in the clan for a certain amount of time. I believe this alone is fundamentally wrong as a way of giving out ranks to members. While you should be rewarded for your time with us, I believe there are many other factors that contribute to ranking and rewards.
It is with this in mind, that we as Staff have decided to flatten the hierarchy, in the same way it has been for us. This week, everyone will be reverted back to 'Member', as their rank. There will be a new rank system coming through, which will allow us all to start from scratch, and earn our way through the ranks by doing extra things for the clan and contributing.
I hope you all understand, especially for those in Veteran and Guru ranks, that we do appreciate your time with us, and we don't want this to be viewed as a depreciation of your worth around here. We are just reworking the mechanics of the clan's ranking system, and I think it's fairer under a new mechanic that we all revert to the original Member rank. Veteran and Guru ranks will be discontinued by the end of the week.
I thank you all for your patience with our clan reforms, and would appreciate any feedback with regards to a new ranking and promotions system in the Feedback forum.

You are no better than anyone else, and no one is better than you.
