Decided to make these because I've seen it once I've seen it a thousand times, people not or barely giving any information when they want in a clan or when they are trying to recruit...instead of saying: "hey i need a clan my name is sniper_d00d thx!!!!!!"
Looking for a clan
If you are making a thread stating you are looking for a clan, make sure you give enough information out so the recruiter can make a valid decision. Be sure to include:

Socom name online

State wether it's North America or International Universe

Possibly your age (if you aren't comfortable with giving that out, then by all means don't)

Your time zone you live in

Your best times to get on socom

Your favourite side/and or guns

Any special info you might want to add (looking for a canadian clan only, German clan only, pistol clan only, 17+ etc.)

Give a breif description of the "perfect clan" you are looking for, maybe someone has one with your name in it :D

Don't forget: how to get in touch with you (an AIM sn, email, YIM sn etc.)
Example
Hey I'm looking for an International clan only, my name on INTL is OTTER, I'm 90 years old and live in Ontario Canada (EST) I can usually get on socom anywhere from 4-10ish, 11 sometimes.
I can play any side...with any gun, no favourite at all. I'm looking for a clan that likes to have fun, but wars a helluva lot, also, they don't allow, or they don't like it when people teamkill at all, because I hate that. AIM me at Keanu Reaver666 or YIM me at SOH_CALM116 or reply here if you have that clan.
Recruiting for a Clan
If you are making a thread recruiting for your clan, make sure you provide enough information so the people can decide wether or not they'd like to join. Be sure to include:

The name of your clan obviously

Wether your clan is a North America Universe or International

The time your clan usually gets and plays on

If you like, the SIZE of your clan, how many people/rosters etc.

A website if you have it

Any special info you'd like to tell the people (pistol only clan, Canadian only, only plays on INTL Universe, 17+ etc.)

Give a breif description of the type of people your clan might be looking for

Give a breif description of your clan

How to contact the leader of your clan or a trusted member (an AIM sn, email, YIM sn etc.)
Example
Socom-2.com! International is recruiting! We usually get on and play anywhere from 4-11+ EST. We currently have 2 rosters, our second one is still recruiting, though the first one has one or 2 spots open. We are...of course...an INTL clan only and are looking for members who are both active on this site, and on socom, not just any joe blow on this site. Our clan is full of great, fun, and skilled members, we don't mind teamkilling
at the end of the round if you are in the mood, we war A LOT, once every day usually.
To get in, AIM or PM otter (his AIM is keanu Reaver666) or reply here, OR, for second roster (reccomended) pm <~Sypher~> or post in his thread in European Gamers.

And as always, try and be as courteous and as nice as possible when making one of these threads, will attract more attention and possible more members (or clan looking to pick you up).
Thanks for your time! If there is anything I missed that you feel might be important, just add it here.
These are of course, as the titles says, Guidelines and don't NEED to be followed, but it makes it easier for the people you want to get in touch with, quickly, and efficiently w/o asking all these pesky questions over AIM or whatever, just present it here!
