Are fanclubs allowed?

[-Max Barry]

Are FanClubs allowed on nationstates? I made one, but recently heard from a friend that they are not. What's the truth?

This wouldn't be the place to ask.

And what do you mean by "fan club"?

Moved to moderation, a reply is imminent.

I believe it entirely depends on the purpose of the fan club. A fan club for a player, thats been done. A fan club to someone else, say an actor or entertainment figure, a politicization (riiight ) or some other IRL person, I'd think the answer would be no. Discussion of their work may be acceptable, if the thread was in Arts and Fiction

It would, almost without a doubt, need to be posted in F7, where things of that nature of have been done before and, I believe, are still allowable. See these examples:

The Church of So-and-So

Sometimes, notable posters on F7 gain enough fame and notoriety with other netizens that a church thread is erected in their honor. These threads, while not exactly story driven, must retain elements of roleplay and purpose, or may be subject to lock. Church threads are a rare occurrence, and it is not encouraged that a poster open a church in his or her own name (read…just don’t frickin' do it, blasphemer.) If you choose to open a church dedicated to another poster, be prepared to back up your deity's divinity. Just remember, no flaming in the holy wars.

• The Church of Othar
• The Forum 7 Pantheon: [Insert New Leader Here]'s New Cult.
• The United Church of Reppy: The Original F7 Church
• The United Church of Reppy

If you're planning on opening a fan club thread for me, go right ahead.

Your nation and region make it pretty clear your hypothetical situation refers to Max Barry. We're OK with that, within reason. Normally nations with names like yours get deleted as admin impersonators, but you obviously intended it as a tribute. As long as it stays that way, we're fine.
