This is because if you are a clan leader, you must look powerful with your defenses and offensive power, displaying strong towers and upgraded, high level troops such as the Electro-Dragon. One rule of thumb is that a clan should be created at Town Hall level 9 or higher.Once you've learned the ropes, have a good base, and become a fairly skilled player, start your own clan and plot your domination and execute it. This is an unfortunate part of that community, but you can get around the cyberbullying by joining another clan to get started and build your status. If you aren't, almost no one will want to join, and you might be hassled and made fun of. It isn't advised that you start a new clan unless you're already fairly advanced, at experience level 40 and Town Hall level 9 or higher.
Play for a while before you create your own clan.
