What Makes a Clan "Great"

I'm not talking about the "Top 5 Clans" etc. I'm simply wondering what traits make you respect and like another clan.

This is really just opinions so no wrong answers... Here are some things off the top of my head.
  • A great leader
  • A solid, consistent core of good players with long track records
  • Does not hackusate without concrete video evidence
  • Is gracious in victory or in defeat
  • Understands the difference between skills and hacking
  • Is well-liked by most in the community (hey, no one is liked by EVERYONE)
  • Does not kick in-game simply because they don't like another player/clan
  • Obviously, does not hack and deals with hackers immediately upon discovery
What is it about clans that makes you like them or not? Please - we don't really need to mention specific clans. That's not the point of the thread...

    Biggest thing to me is egos. If they have a huge ego, I'll most likely hate 'em, because the majority aren't even good, or deserving of *that large* an ego.

    Well said Z, proud of you.
  • Played against SpecOpTF today, can't say I respect the clan anymore, although they did win.

    Honestly what makes a clan good is the members. I'm in WAL right now and they're pretty cool. To me the leader doesn't matter much, as he is only one out of many.
