The Retired status is not a 'Rank' as such, it is more an association to the clan. When a member is no longer able to keep up the demands of full membership, or wishes to be associated with the clan, despite not really playing the game a lot anymore, then the member may seek out the Leaders or Council Member and ask to be placed as a Retired Member. The Retired status is not easy to obtain and it requires a few elements to be granted, some of which are listed below:
At Least two years minimum as a clan member.
You must be in good standing with the clan, whether a current or former member.
Your activity on the server will be taken into account. If you are very active, you will be asked to return to full membership.
Retired Status will not be granted to everyone, it will depend solely on the above factors and a discussion about your individual case.
So, what is different between regular membership and "retired" membership?
Clubs cannot be joined.
Admin access isn't possible.
No responsibilities e.g. No need to vote on applicant polls, vote in surveys, honours etc.
JKA activity is no longer a requirement.
Inability to join other clans as you're still part of ours.
(JAWA) Central access IS allowed, but will be missing the Applications and Member Polls forums.
Retired Status members should put (JAWA)Name as their in-game tag if they do come onto the server at all.
We would prefer you to be a fully active member, but we understand that sometimes you have to take a big step back from gaming and at times you need a long break of a year or more from the game. We strongly urge anyone who enters retired status to come back to full membership if you feel you are ready. Your rank will be restored at what it once was before you became retired. If you rejoined the clan as retired, then a discussion will be held about the rank you will obtain.
This is not a rank, but a special title akin to that of 'Clan Supporter' or 'Retired'. This status was created to honour our friends, who are no longer with us and actively served on the Council before they left us.
