Democracy, therefore, vote.
I was talking to Noah about people who left the clan, and I had an idea:
What do you (members of Chess) think about this? Do you think people who left us just because they got bored of the tag - or of us - should enjoy all the benefits of being a member? This is bad because it influences people to be disloyal: "there's nothing bad about leaving, I'll keep enjoying all the advantages of a member". Furthermore, our clan becomes subject to be like those clans that doesn't have active members, just allies, and I don't want it... Do you want it?
We have an example, Rickmo, - again, don't take it personally - I like him, as well as I like triskier, and I wanted both of them to be our members. But Rickmo was an ally of Coffee, we merged, this become a "cooler" clan, and he joined Chess, he got bored again, and... Left Chess.
I'll give you members three options:
1 - everything remains the same
2 - the only thing allies that deserted the clan can do is post. (They can't join events, they can't be on pictures of the clan, for example)
3 - people who abandoned the clan can't be on our forums. You like the clan? Don't leave it then. (My favorite one, because this influencies people to be members)
