Clans themselves aren't illegal. And I'm referring to realms like Darka where the leadership has been consistently with the same core group for multiple RL years now. And that's not just my opinion, Jaune agrees. My point is that you're telling someone to shove off for no justifiable reason. So he's part of a clan. Big whoop, so are you, me and half of everyone else on the forums, or have been at some point. As long as said clan isn't actively ruining the game for everyone else, you should just deal with them IC. If your realm gets overtaken by a small group, well, maybe you had it coming.
If you're going to ban someone for OOC reasons, it should be for what OOC bans are intended: obvious cheaters, abusive people and other jackasses breaking the Social Contract. You could've just banned the guy IC for looking funny and be rid of him in 3 turns, and it would be no problem, but you had to take it OOC, and not even for the right reasons. Well, it backfired.
