As of today, the requirements for a subsection application are higher.
A clan must have had prior forum activity for a good while, and must now have 15 members to be eligible for applying. Clans that have already obtained their section, will not be affected by these new requirements. Also, from now on, the reason for applying plays a greater role in the processing of the request.
If your subsection will become inactive, it will be put on a probationary period of two weeks, at the end of which it might be removed, if the level of activity remains unchanged.
Hopefully, these changes will make the section a bit less of a mess.
