I agree with chuck, farming needs to be defined. Whether you follow CC farming rules and it's only on new clans or you use some form of ranking ladder and the clans have to be within a certain amount of spots of each other, this case by case stuff just causes problems. As I said before, the TOFU-T4C challenge will most likely be closer than TFFS-KOTF, so why punish TOFU just because people think they're better?
Personally, unless we see some form of "serial farming", which so far hasn't happened at all, I think it should just be for new clans, until they complete a challenge. Why deny T4C the chance to knock off TOFU? That's like saying a general isn't allowed to join any game against a private, or vice versa.
hate to break your analogy as I agree with your opinion that clans cant farm but people do view it as farming when generals play privates...at least most do.
well in my view a certain general who has been accused of farming a lot in his ascent would fall under the "serial farmer" category. Yes that brings back case by case to some degree, but it shouldn't be a huge issue as long as no top clan makes a habit of playing a bunch of little guys.

so you take away current clans free will? And I don't know about others, but I disagree that it's a CD's, or anyone's, job to stop clans from breaking up. It's their clan, they should be able to do whatever they want. If that involves challenging TOFU, great. If they want to break up, it happens.

edit- nevermind, didn't see the "joins this" part
I agree this wouldn't be the best situation, but again, unless it becomes a habit I don't see a reason to govern it. Just because one clan wants to be hypocritical once or twice shouldn't restrict other clans from basically doing what they want.
