I was discussing something similar with someone else... Many clans require you to actually BE active to maintain your membership. We seem to let people wander in and out and never remove them from the rolls.

Proposals:

1. Reaper the members list. Instead of people clamoring for a re-vote every N months, we institute an activity count. You must vote to remain active in the clan and you must regularly post to remain active in the clan. Miss X votes in a row (6 seems like a good number, as that's about how many initiates we have in any given month) and you're inactive. Don't post on the main board in six months and you're inactive. Spend six months on inactive status and you're out. Send an e-mail to their address registered on the clan site and PM out to all members notifying them of this - if you get no reply or it bounces, they automatically get put on inactive. For e-mail bounces, they must immediately contact Parena to get it fixed to be moved back to active. Voting in any initiation round gets you put back on active status and/or wipes your missed vote count. Inactivity due to lack of posting can only be rectified by posting - voting will not remove that strike.

2. Revamp the voting. Remove the Neutral option - you either want them in or you don't. If you want to remain neutral on someone, you don't vote (but it counts against your "Missed Vote" count). Up the required percentage to 75% so as to not have people skating in.

3. Bump the membership requirements up. Jack the required posts up to 500 and require a minimum of six months of activity on the main board, so as to keep the spammers at bay.

Any thoughts?
