Updated: May 2025This is more of a "fun" topic and my review of the 26
special membergroups here based on number of members, alongside the "
bad ranks", not to be taken too seriously.
Numbers after the gang names refer to change in position since previous update in July 2021.
These mid to high-ranking members have been migrating here since 2020 and have quickly become by far the largest gang in the process, with a noticeable second wave in 2024. Some are affiliated with Agency and Bounty Managers, or otherwise Verified, so are well connected overall. Others are even part of gangs elsewhere, so not to be under-estimated or disrespected.
By 2019, 1 and 3 strikes became the largest gang on the forum, prior to being displaced by Teleported Troops a year later. As the second largest gang, they have strong affiliation with Shillers Sect, AI Army, having previously formed strong connections with Plagiarists Pack. Their natural adversary is the smaller but more influential Decentralized Dynamic.
Previously one of the most organised gangs in 2019 in the pre-Decentralized Dynamic era, occasionally new members join but more often than not become inactive. They are currently known for their recent affiliation with AI Army, others were previously involved in Strike Squads as well as Clone Clan, contributing to their success as a Top 5 gang.
4. Shillers Sect *New*
Activity: ⭐⭐ | Notability: ⭐⭐⭐ | Respect: ⭐
One of the latest gangs introduced late 2023. Despite their often moderated statuses, the gang quickly rose to the Top 5 in 2024 becoming one of the largest new badass gangs, while remaining relatively active. They have close connections with AI Army and Strike Squads, as users who often misbehave and disrupt the forum, and are regularly confronted by Decentralized Dynamic.
Another old gang from 2020, similar to the Strike Squads and the Plagiarists Pack, this crew quickly climbed the ranks to the Top 10. Previously the precursor gang for those applying to be troopers, this gang rebranded to become Cheaters Class. They naturally have a strong affiliation with Clone Clan, as the largest gang of the League of Suspicious Gangs.
As a fork of the 1 strike squad, half of these members who receive a strike find themselves in the Two Strikes Faction. Many make the natural transition to 3 strikes squad from this gang. They are otherwise generally found breaking forum rules hence strong affiliation with Misbehaving as well with the Plagiarists Pack.
7. Clone Clan (-2)
Activity: ⭐ | Notability: ⭐⭐ | Respect: ⭐
For a clan unofficially led by a teleported d team member, this clan is pretty quiet despite attempts at recruitment. Most clones move on to create new accounts after being rumbled, only to end up cloning themselves again. These clones otherwise have a strong affiliation with Cheaters Class, and have otherwise been partially replaced by Dot of Doom.
8. Dot of Doom *New*
Activity: ⭐ | Notability: ⭐⭐ | Respect: ⭐
Identified by a single red dot on their profiles as multi-accounts, aka zoom1, the Dot of Doom became a featured gang in 2024, reaching the Top 10 with ease by 2025. As part of the League of Suspicious Gangs, they complete with Clone Clan and Cheaters Class for recruitment, with many members becoming inactive after their signature changes become blocked, thus becoming unable to cheat signature campaigns.
9. AI Army *New*
Activity: ⭐⭐ | Notability: ⭐⭐⭐ | Respect: ⭐
Latest gang from 2024 that quickly grew in strength and numbers to become a Top 10 gang by the end of the year. Closely associated with Plagiarist Pack, due to their artificially intelligent plagiarism, they are also affiliated with Strike Squads as well as organise with Shillers Sect.
10. The Monarchy (-2)
Activity: ⭐⭐⭐ | Notability: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Respect: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Led by the Monarch, Royalty are some of the most notable members of the forum and have strong affiliation with the Moderation Mob, Translation Team, and more recently Teleported Troops. Most have been around since 2017-2018 era and were at one point one of the largest gangs. Their support has earnt them the respect they deserve.
Another mainly inactive gang from 2017-2018 era. Many left after being labeled as a scammer, as it made it more difficult to scam others. They are generally a pretty nasty gang who unsurprisingly will try and scam you. They don't have any other affiliations other than with Fishy members, and otherwise gain new members with their low recruitment drive.
12. Patrons Pact (-2)
Activity: ⭐⭐ | Notability: ⭐⭐⭐ | Respect: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Also known for their early contributions to the forum since 2017, Patrons Pact are one of the smaller gangs that supports the forum. Often overshadowed by their counter-part The Monarchy, they are otherwise also affiliated with the Moderators Mob and Translation Team, as previously one of the largest gangs in the early days of the forum.
13. Moderation Mob (-2)
Activity: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Notability: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Respect: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Generally known for moderating the forum, these gang members are not to be messed with, instead they have the powers to punish and moderate you. This mob was arguably the first gang on altcoinstalks and today remains one of the most active since 2017 as it continues to recruit new members.
Little is known so far about this gang formed in 2021. It is assumed that "U Sus" stands for "You suspicious" and therefore is another division of the League of Suspicious Gangs. Affiliation is therefore assumed with the the redundant Fishy Faction, and is otherwise moderated by the Judges of the Forum.
Previously these users were suspected of being multi-accounts, now they are just plain fishy. Little is known about this small faction, other than it's a very small gang, and one of the original gangs of 2018. This faction has become redundant in favor of the newer gangs within the League of Suspicious Gangs, namely it's direct competitor U Sus.
As the first new gang of 2021, this gang has seen reasonable growth since 2024. Th network have strong affiliations with the Moderation Mob and Teleported Troops, as well as Senators Syndicate and the Translation Team. Although a small team, they influence the memberships of other gangs as well as punishments and warnings, so not to be underestimated.
A subdivision of the Plagiarists Pack, these are the most determined of them all. These penalized members have a strong affiliation with Strike Squads and the AI Army, as a rare breed usually discovered riddled with negative karma and other penalties as well as misbehaving. As one of the smaller gangs of the forum, their recruitment remains stable.
As another of the smaller gangs here, this team has contributed many translations since 2018 under the guidance of the 1st President. This team are still recruiting new members and can otherwise be found in the Translation Center. They have strong affiliation with other earlier gangs: Moderation Mod, Patrons Pact and The Monarchy.
19. Girls Gang (-5)
Activity: ⭐⭐ | Notability: ⭐⭐⭐ | Respect: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
While the Girls Gang remains one of the smaller gangs since it's inception in 2019, it's members remain active despite lack of recruitment over the years. These women are generally high ranking having previously had strong affiliation with the defunct KYC Crew, as well as the Moderation Mob. They remain a small, with the intention for growth in the future.
A gang initiated in 2021, this is a small collection of our ex mods from 2017-2021 that remained eligible for rewards after mod review in Q3. Previously members of the Moderation Mob, as of 2021 they are no longer recruiting, and instead have been replaced by the newer even smaller micro gang X Mod Factor.
This syndicate are high ranking users who have a strong affiliation with the Moderation Mob and Sheriffs Syndicate, as well as Decentralized Dynamic and the Translation Team. Since 2021 this gang has been expanding, with former Presidents and newly elected candidates, fast becoming one of the most powerful gangs on the forum.
22. Bounty Breed *New*
Activity: ⭐⭐ | Notability: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Respect: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Emerging as a gang sometime after 2021, predominantly via teleportation, similar to Agency Association as part of the far from gang like League of Verified Professionals. As a precursor gang to Agency Association, due to the related nature of both gangs, since 2024 they have bought considerable growth to the forum with various bounty campaigns.
Similar to Bounty Breed this gang operate from the bounties section, as part of the League of Verified Professionals. These members are known for gaining support from all other gangs while being closely affiliated with Teleported Troops. While not the most active they make up this with their respect, while being appreciated for the quantity of bounties they provide.
Another gang emerging late 2024 having previously had limited membership since 2018. Members often contribute their awful posts with burst posting, hence have strong affiliation with Strike Squads and are usually punished by the Decentralized Dynamic. While not a gang expected to grow in the future due to declining activity, there is the potential for steady recruitment of members.
Often operating behind closed doors, this syndicate are simply not to be messed with. As the most powerful in terms of moderation potential, they are largely responsible for determining membership numbers of other gangs, only to be over-powered by admin or the President. They are one the smallest gang but with strong affiliation with Senators Syndicate and Translation Team.
26. Team Trusted (-17)
Activity: ⭐ | Notability: ⭐ | Respect: ⭐⭐
In 2018, these members were previously known in the bounty section for being officially verified, but are now merely celebrities and influences, having been replaced by Bounty Breed and Agency Association. As one of the smallest gangs on the forum, with limited membership, little is known about this group.
