Bah,why are we pretending clans and regulars won't abuse this?
If it will abuse dont we have PM abuse sometimes?
PM abuse is limited to two people and at best a third party convo between multiple PMs, both of which are tedious to do as compared to this.

On what basis can you tell me that this feature will be abused ?
Clan chat is a chat specified for clans only so people send messages to their clan members only.
This suggestion is to create a chat(private) with specific persons chosen by the creator so if they are in didferent teams they can still chat instead of sending pms to everyone lol.
I like the clan chat thing, sounds better than this.
Obviously whether you are trying to hide it or not it will end up in a clan chat.
1. Most regulars don't care about Newbies.
2. Clan conformity will limit the chat to only those people either in alliance with,with or without clan tag.
=
Even less newbie interaction and new playerbase feeling alienated. Which is bad for the server, idk why people pop up with "This helps keep the server alive!" yet fail to grasp a fundamental to keeping the server 'alive'
3. Clan Wars - The most stupid and overblown occurrence, which leads to even more stupid reaction by people.
It's pointless to hide the fact that people WILL asslick during Wars to get that tag and protection in gamemode.
Adding this feature will add a obvious incentive to ignore the /color and /duty.
While I still consider most clan arguments to be primitively dumb, they still find out convenient ways to bend things to their favour.
Eg: X is a poor ol regular who hates getting killed over and over, he leans towards the [A] clan which has skilled combatants but are also having a war with [D] and tries to fit his gameplay to A's favour so he may get closer to [A]'s approval.
X then proceeds to help the A clan by giving them info from the opposite team, either through the GC or PM'ing one which conveys message through the GC.
Eventually D decides to converse only through GC and in a span of time, most of the gamemode goes to shit,with everyone having their own GC and new playerbase eventually having less interaction, they either get into a GC or get left behind.
With the police and terro duty already being exploited, I don't see this far from possibility and unlikely to happen.
As if the current things aren't bad as it is, this will ruin things further.
Altough clans have been a part of this server or even the entire game, this server is based on teams, not clans. The teamchat we have is enough, after all it's even better if you work well organized with other players in your class and not just your clanmates.
