Well its not the biggest problem but it is a problem in my eyes.
Why cant we delete old clans which are created?
I mean its hard to make a new clan when this name is already taken but like 2 years ianctive..
The same problem is to make a good looking "tag" for a new clan. I just tried some things out and well 10 of 10 tags are already taken.
Well just an examble
Clan Profile for independence day ||
Clan Name: independence day
Clan Tag: [iD]
Clan ID: 5979
Date: 2007-08-31 19:34:10

StraFeMaster

shweta
why cant we delete such clans?
If they want back they can create a new clan but dont let old clans with tags which other ppl need around.
Its just an idea but we could get an overview of active clans.

Similar idea to this one: http://dplogin.com/forums/index.php?topic=16038.0
Both should be done!
-
Yeah that annoys me a whole lot. Especially like Mosez said if there is only 1 former member why not delete it? It should be like if it has 3 or less former members that should be deleted and the accounts as well...
-
Deleted the clan. I'm not keen on auto-deleting things, as bugs/errors in the code could potentially do really bad things, but I will delete clans that haven't had any members.
You may want to vote for this, too: http://dplogin.com/dplogin/featurevote/feature.php?id=10079
Most of those types of clans were created by people who hadn't played before they created a clan.

thanks :)

Are you talking about deleting a clan with no members if the person asking for it made it? Or if someone randomly wants a tag that is taken but with no members they can just have it?
-
I actually dont understand what is the purpose of keeping the tag reserved, which has 0 users?
Thinking.....
Nope, I find it utterly useless.
-

Agreed.
-
thats what i wanted to say blaa .
its just senceless
-
yeah agreed, I wanted to start [KinG] but a clan tagged KING already exist. I dont know if they still play but it was annoying when I wanted to.
Then again it kept me in uR also. (this was during the recent problems we had within our clan)
-
What if the one person that made the clan is still on it? Either they made the clan and left it, or they made it and they are still on it. Jits are you saying that the clan would be deleted, but what would happen to the person that made the clan?
I'm guessing that they would just have no record on their account of ever making that clan and tag
Edit: Can someone move this to the feature request section?
-
also the same can be done for old players that are long gone. auto delete option would be easy in my opinion. 1 year inactive. delete it. a clan with one member for 6 months. delete it.

Old players sometimes come back.
-
Old players SOMETIMES come back.
Sometimes is the key word. not all the time.
-
when old players come back they can recreate an account instead of hogging up good names and a whole directory of pointless information.
-
handle the TRUTH
-

erm, no they can't. That would be multi-accounting.
-
Uhhhh why don't you just make it so when there is no one in the clan, there is a little button that the admin of the clan can just click "Delete clan"?
-

No it wouldn't i_am_a_pirate because their old account has been deleted due to inactivity.

That would cause alot of chaos.

really? I thought thats what we're voting on? Or is that because of the GLS going live?
-

How would that make chaos? I know i have a few clans that i have that i would like to delete.

Just think about it. Also, if you have some clans you would like to have deleted and there aren't any former members, try PMing Jits.
-
Ummm I thought about it long, and I still don't get how it would cause chaos. Because, there has to be no one in the clan to delete it, so thats ok (won't cause chaos). It will also make other people happy because the clan/tag will be open to other people. The only thing that i can think that would be bad is that a clan could just keep making the same clan over and over. Haha, but i have a solution to that, you could use other peoples idea but in a different way. We could make it that you can only make a clan every (Insert hours/days here). That also might help with all the clan hoppers, heh. This is just an idea :)

I meant chaos like people making clans and then deleting them and having the dplogin database to be constantly changing. If you want a tag thats taken, and there are no former members, ask Jitspoe because I believe he said if you PM him he will delete it.
-
And thats why i said that people can only make a clan every (Insert hours/days here). ;)
And I also bet Jits has better stuff to do than that.
