People signing up trust each other enough for their characters to have an IC reason for an attack, and no outs are necessary, no warnings preceding PvP such as a chat or emoting, for example.
The old PvP rules stated an OOC out and the new state a RP out. That is a significant difference. The former was intrusive to RP and the latter should be conducive to RP. For that reason I just didn't see the need for the club any more. The new PvP rules are clear and sensible with respect to RP. I thought everyone needed an IC reason to attack another character PvP club member or not?
In fact the first sentence of the original thread post seems to have put the reason for the club as the issue the new PvP rules addessed:

In light of these new rules it really seems less a matter of trust and more a love of PK to persist. A few of the times in the past when I have had a character attacked with no RP, just a plain old PK; it was a PvP club member (and I've never even been a member). I was hoping the new PvP rules ended the confusion of who was and was not a club member. You seem to be saying that there is no need to RP if folks sign up here. That doesn't make much sense to me. If there is no RP then it is little more than a PK club.
Sorry for the verbosity-- just wanted to better explain my previous post and why I wrote what I did
