Hello PB2 Community.
While we do not have an official clan system in PB2, people over the years have created their own clans with tagged nicknames, private chatrooms, their own websites, etc. That's all well and good - it promotes a sense of community, which is a very nice thing to have.
Unfortunately it has also resulted in battles between rival clans blowing way out of control, into the realms of hacking, spying, and cyber-warfare. Not only is this in breach of PB2 rules, in many countries it is also illegal.
Simply, if you wear the clan tag in your nickname, you discuss clan matters on this website, or you link to the website on your profile, you take part in clan wars in-game, or recruit new members on the forum/in-game, you have made your offsite group part of PB2.
If you take part in any activities that breach PB2 rules in clan chatrooms, on clan websites, or using messaging services while discussing these PB2-linked clans, you are at risk of suspension or permanent removal of your Plazma Burst 2 account.
=====
- Clan drama, with people being framed for these acts, people raging and swearing in-game at rival clans, and general hate for other based simply on the tag they wear, is not acceptable.
- Anybody found to have taken part in clan site hacking or nuking will have their accounts permanently banned with no chance of revoking.
- Anybody found to be planning any kind of nuking/hacking action using PB2's services will also be suspended for any time between a month and a year.
Note: We won't be accepting excuses such as "It's all a joke". Clan drama needs to end now.
- Clan leaders who fail to eject players involving themselves with hacking attempts
- Any warnings will be the only chance you get. If you engage in nuking/hacking, do not expect a warning before a permanent ban.
A favour I require from you:
- If you are part of a clan, make sure the leader has read both this message and the PB2 rules.
-- If you lead a clan, and catch a member breaking rules, please inform a PB2 staff member and eject them from the clan if necessary.
--- If you are currently 'at war' with another clan, make it clear to them that all fighting will occur in-game, and your clan will not be taking part in any illegal activity.
How do I make sure my clan/I don't get involved in this?
- Be courteous and polite to other clans.
-- Refrain from spying activities.
--- Solve all matters in-game in fair matches - not through hacking and drama.
---- Report any rule-breaking activity as soon as it happens. You will never be banned for it - you will be kept 100% anonymous if requested.
What is actually banned?
- Hacking of any kind, into other's web resources, accounts,
- Nuking - Wiping the contents of a site by gaining significant privilege by any means (Hacking, or joining and receiving promotions)
- Dos/DDoS attacks on clan members.
- Revealing personal information of other clan members/clan rivals.
- (To clan leaders) Allowing other clan members to hack/illegally attack rivals.
And the penalty for this behaviour? An instant permanent ban. I cannot stress how important it is to make sure you understand what is and what is not banned.

The clan forum area is for any clan-related topics, as well as showing off clans. Replies on the clan topic have to have constructive feedback and discussion, not just "good luck". If you're not interested in joining the clan, giving appropriate feedback, or wanting further information, then don't post.
