It's not that.
I'm basically saying that people who have just started playing online shouldn't join/be allowed in clans. Or then "clans" should be divided into two concepts, where the second is for new/inexperienced people.

I know that this might sound silly to some people, but I've always seen clans in a similar manner as companies and professional organizations that you just don't walk into when you feel like it.

Imo clan membership is something that must be earned.
