No point. If someone needs information on an official clan, they should go to the official clans' board. That's part of the reason why they have one. We even have a tori-clan section now where you can literally see the leaders of the clans. The reward for having an official clan is having your own board, no one needs a different colored name in-game as well. Leave that for the people who actually need to be recognized in-game, the in-game admins.
Also creating a clan costs too much for someone that just joined the community and still doesnt know nearly anything about the whole system.
That's the point, there's a reason why it's hard to create a clan, especially for a legit newcomer. It's a responsibility, no one wants a bunch of unofficial tori-clans created by inexperienced members because the likely hood of them to:
1. get the 25k for an unofficial clan
2. get the 50k to apply for an official clan
3. maintain either one
are very slim. Now obviously, there are no rules against a new member making a tori-clan but as you can see there are quite of few rules and requirements in place to make it a bit harder to make a clan. Which is a good thing, not bad.
Literally the only beneficial purpose of this, is clan leaders looking slightly more important than regular users. Anything else about information etc. can be found through the tori-clan page of the clan, or their board/dsc.
