OsrsclanfinderReviews of osrsclanfinder.com

Uses WoM data to list clans without our knowing and permission. Refuses to respect and cooperate clan leaders their request to be fully removed from this website listing. His only counter-argument is that the data he pulls is is publicly available. Don't like it? Don't use the internet! Completely ignores our ethics and privacy to use us as his product.

Think all the comments below cover the fact this guy is a complete scam artist. Avoid at all costs.

Looking for shiny charizard, oh wait this isn’t PokemonFinder. Alex maybe you’re better off making an app for these !!! We don’t want your garbage !!!!!!! It’s horrible and doesn’t even allow to delete any clan !! If you complain you get deleted from the only way to reach you , your discord server !

This started out as, i think, a good idea but has went downhill extremely fast due to the owner's character and the true intent behind it all. The website started as an opt in website (which he said himself); which is how it should always and STILL be but has ever since become a power and money grab, let me explain. A voting system and payment system have been in place on the website. You pay and vote to be listed in the top position (which most leaders voted against, vote that was rigged by the 4000 + mega clan listed on the website who bribed their clan mates with bonds/gp to vote for them and vote in favor). Alex was well aware and has done absolutely nothing to stop it or make the vote fair, giving clan members already in a clan (the mage one) a voice in what should happen. This gives absolutely no chance to smaller scales or newer clans to get noticed which is *supposed* to be the whole point of this website. A few days ago, the owner; Alex, talked about a hypothetical data grab from all over internet to list every single clan who exist on his website because, quote: ''This is going to be the number 1 clan website in the next 3 months'' (you see again the need for power for whatever reason). You guessed it, it was never hypothetical, he had already planned doing it despite, once again, many votes against it. It grabs data/info from Wise Old Man, Discord, TempleOSRS, Facebook, Reddit and more (again, all of this was admitted by him). The problem here is, people decide, on their own will and consent to post/use or not these websites. Many leaders gave no consent and have expressed publicly on his discord server and privately in a ticket (like we were told to do if we wanted no association) that they wanted to be completely removed from his project, website and anything to do with him/his project to which we were ignored and given no choice; per his saying again: "No sorry, the clan will remain in the unclaimed directory and will keep using any available information." Now, if you have some human decency and self respect, you would understand that some people do not wish to use or be associated with your website for various reasons. Some people don't advertise for their clans at all and don't wish to for various reasons as well. Deciding, from your own will to use certain website/tools does not give other people permission to list your clan on websites they want nothing to do with for ethical and personal reasons. There's no opt in/out anymore, which is what many leaders are very unhappy about (to stay polite). May i add that Alex has never been owner/leader of a clan, mater of fact, Alex is not in a clan and want's nothing to do with clans (per his own words again), so how can we trust someone that has/wants nothing to do with it to understand and respect our needs? The answer is simple; you can't. Now as to answer the questions asked when you go to type in a review: What went wrong this time? Everything. He does not listen to people whatsoever. How can it be improved? Respect people who want no association whatsoever to the website even if it is in the unclaimed section we asked to not be on. Stop mass dming leaders and joining their servers to advertise your website with a poor pitch sale to try and force people to use it. You should've let your project grow naturally out of good feedback/character/word of mouth.

Slimy tactics, leeching information to build a "brand", stalker behavior and allowing and enabling this behavior is such a dark tainted shadow on the Runescape brand as a whole in my humble opinion.

The owner is taking all clans and putting them on his site even when asked not to and asking to be removed entirely. Can not trust this guy to not go rogue in the future with something more malicious. Stay far away

Good idea, bad execution. Influenced by a large "mega clan" that pushes their users to vote for things to overpower the majority of clan owners. Alex, the owner is very bull headed and leaves things up to the community. However votes can be influenced as a solid chunk of the community is from the mega clan. In the last poll the option that favored the mega clan suddenly gained 40+ votes in around 5 to 10 minutes. Most of the votes for that option came from that mega clan. I have no doubts that this will be done the same way. The moderation of the discord server is hopelessly bad. Alex allows toxicity to run rampant and doesn't do anything towards anyone. The whole community is extremely toxic. He also flooded a bunch of clans with spam messages to their members to spread the word of his website. Then, he tried to monetize the platform and give significant boosts to those who paid. He only acquiesced once there was a massive wave of backlash for nearly all the clans (You'll never guess what clan was for it). If you want to find a good clan, find it through disboard, the osrs discord server, google, or elsewhere. Pass on this website, I'm sure there will be a better version at some point in the future.
