Social hub (introductions & group finder)

The "Social hub" tab (group "Social", also /social or /hub) is a small wall where players, teams and clans introduce themselves. Every introduction has a title and two short lines, plus status tags ("looking for a team", "looking for a clan", "looking for friends/teammates", or "recruiting members" for teams and clans), play style (PvP, PvE/farming, building, raiding, casual, tryhard), language (DE, EN or both) and active times. Teams and clans show their current size with the limit; players can switch on playtime and K/D.

Sections: wall (everything), players, teams, clans, quick search and my profile. Filters for status, language, play style, "online only", sorting (newest or online first) and a search help you find people; the list scrolls.

Introduce yourself: under "My profile" pick "Me (player)", "Our team" (team leader only) or "Our clan" (leader or members with the "Invite" right from the clan centre), fill in the fields (Enter each) and press "Publish". Introductions expire after 3 days; "Refresh" (every 6 h) extends them and moves them to the top. Expired ones can be published again with one click.

Requests: on teams and clans the button says "Apply", on players "Request" – team leaders and clans with the invite right see "Invite request" on matching players. You can add a short message; the recipient gets a notice and a mailbox message and accepts or declines under "My profile". Accepting uses the normal ways: clans send the Rust clan invite (accept in the clan menu), teams send a team invite (the player has to be online). At most 5 open requests at a time.

Also: "View profile" opens the player profile, "Add friend" puts the player on your friends list. Insults are blocked by the word filter; "Report" sends an introduction to staff, and from 3 reports it is hidden until checked. Admins can delete introductions.

Quick search: the short group finder for right now: pick a type (raid, event, farming, PvP, other), type a text, press "Post" – the entry disappears after 30 min. "Request" sends the creator a notice and a mailbox message. /lfg and /gruppe open this section directly.

Tip: the clan search in the clan tab (with filters for language, activity and size) is one click away via the "Clan search" button in the "Clans" section.
