Points & spotlights: visibility is earned, not bought
Points reward maintained listings, API sync, and community activity. Spotlights add limited-time visibility — clearly marked.
Ranking stays earned
Spotlights should speed up clan recruiting without ever replacing real fit. That is why Recruit Royale strictly separates earned ranking signals from paid visibility.
How the system works
Votes and activity remain the strongest ranking signals — they cannot be bought.
Spotlights expire, cost points, and are clearly marked as spotlights in the listing.
Points come from maintained listings, API sync, helpful comments, and curating activity.
Why this is not pay-to-win
A clan that lets its listing decay drops in the ranking — no matter how many spotlights it books. Fresh data and real activity beat any paid placement.
