1 No from an elite. that could be a no for any reason, if the elite has never liked them. For example, if i used to act like a complete idiot to one of the elites, because he had done something just really inappropriate to me, then i'll get a no and therefore out of the clan.
There could also be a No for no reason, like one of the elites thought a person he dislikes got a name change and would say no, even if the person wasn't who he thought he was.

The people that aren't even going to play for 6 months are the kind of people we DON'T want with elite status in the clan. Elite means you are an important member and you do a lot to help the clan out; The people you describe are NOT those kinds of people. Therefore, they won't be getting elite status. Basically, if you can't even stick with a game for 6 months, you won't be getting elite status. I think that's perfectly reasonable.
You do know how long 6 months is right? Half a year. Only people who are EXTREMELY happy with the clan, and have lots of friends in the clan stay for that long. and what if someone is ready for elite in the first 2 months? then they have to wait another 4 months to actually apply. Actually, i don't think this CLAN has been up for 6 months. or if it has only just. i wasn't even gone from 42 - Doxa for 6 months. so its a long time to wait just to go elite. Myself, i don't like being called a junior and i wouldn't be liked being called a junior for 6 months.
That's why i suggested more ranks, to keep people feeling they are actually going some where in this clan
