Can the clans with only 1 player, most likely the creator, be deleted and then that player be refunded?
-
Why?
Even though it would be kind of nice to clean up the clans, I don't think we could really do that.
It would be rather unfair I'd believe.
The only way to get rid of it, is if the leader does.
-
I actually think this'd be nice. Players who got refunded could, if they wished, remake their clan, and those that are lazy/inactive won't come back to clog everything up.
-
Good point Hiro. I'm for this now to!

No. If you apply to coach a basketball team (which costs money) at a recreational center and then bail out, you don't get anything back.
You are voluntarily making a clan. If you choose not to follow through (for which ever reason) why should you be refunded?
What did you do to deserve a refund?

If those that are lazy/inactive in a clan are 'clogging' everything, remove them. This sort of thing would only be available to creators as leaders did not create the clan.
My overall thought: No.

Well, they paid to make the clan, which didn't take off and get a lot of members. It's not like they're voluntarily losing their clan, we'd be removing it.

So, let me see if I understand this.
wanting to remove their own clan != voluntary gesture?
Plus (I don't know why I didn't think of this before), it is a risk you will be making.
If you get refunded, where is the risk? the challenge?
This idea would most likely lead to an unintended consequence of a plethora of more clans.
(which is what the majority of SL have been complaining about)
Each action has an equal or greater reaction.
-
Oh, Twitchy, we're talking about taking all the clans out there right now with only one person, and just deleting them, cause they're just clogging up space.
Not someone with only one member choosing to delete it.
-
Oh, then obvious "No" answer from me.
They created their clans for a reason.
They like to play the game and worked hard to be able to make their own clans.
Leave them be.
How would you like it if you made a clan that you were proud of.
Then one morning you log in and you get a message "Your clan has been removed, but here is your money back!"
9.9 times out of 10, they will just re-create their clans.
-
Well that is kind of the point.
If they really do want it, they could just remake it.
But A lot would just be lazy, and let it go, cleaning things up a bit.
-
I still see no benefit to this.
People work hard to be able to create or lead a clan.
I don't think we should punish them.
-
Yeah, just straight up deleting them is harsh, maybe something to warm them that it is coming? and if they don't respond by x weeks, bang gone.
-
Or maybe we could just leave them alone?
Eh? EEh? *Nudge nudge*
Who is to say that those with only 1 person want more people, maybe they want it to be just them.
-
Yep, a few of them around.
Nothing will come of this anyway, like most things discussed here.
-
*Sighs*
Unfortunately.
-
Well, I DID see someone as "The Only Member" of the "Amazing Clan of One Person" or something similar to that. It amused me.
I still disapprove of all the little distended clans, but meh. Maybe a clan inactivity thingy can be made?
-
Yeah, so many inactive clans just wasting space.
-
Say, zero members log in for like... two weeks or something.
-
Why is it such a big deal?
So they take up space, it doesn't effect you in any way.
-
Myyyyyyyyyyy space. e_e
-
Actually, I think we've done something along these lines, once before---years ago.
Correct me if I'm wrong.

Just hazarding a guess, but I would imagine too many practically inactive clans is just unnecessary load on the server.
-
There was a zero-post forum member cleansing, but I don't remember a clan cleansing.

There wasn't any sort of "clan cleansing" but there was:

If there was too much load on the server, Oliver would have already put a max limit of clans.
Currently running a test (on a private LoGD server), and I have yet to run into any strain.
Clans don't seem to take up much space.
But, as I am not an expert of the technical side of LoGD's, I could be wrong.
-
Kash's clan is probably making fun of all of the 1 man clans...
Memory usage. Everything has memory usage >> No?
-
Yes, everything uses up memory, but I have yet to see an impact on the server due to the amount of clans.
-
Clans cause a small fraction as the "executable code" there is rather small.
Small fry add up, of course, but if the benefit outweighs it, why not.
1-man-clans are not *that* bad really.
We *could* argue about different sortings/standings to make the clan list reflect that.
