lets start a clean sheet in the clan world from this point and hope we get a clear set of rules to follow a clear set of punishments which every clan will face for breaching rules... then and only then i can see this site and clans going forward... because no mater what anyone says this is a problem as a whole on the site rules are not followed player for player, clan by clan team by team or even moderator by moderator.
1 clear set of rules for everyone followed for every player team or clan and that will sort the site out

You state that I am dead set against any punishments for clans that regula disrupt events yet this is patently untrue. In my response to your opening post I agreed with the general principle and followed that by agreeing that Foxys idea had merit.
You are demanding punishments yet , as Chem points out , give no specifics on how these would work , furthermore you have constantly evaded pointed responses to your posts.
I think the way forward might be a Cclan charter that stresses the importance of fullfilling event obligations and stating that clans who regularly cause grief can expect some form of retribution.
Each case though must be decided on merit , we cant just have fixed penalties that dont take circumstances into consideration.
I would say though that such a statement should not only cover one specific area , in terms of negativety far more damage has been done to the clan world by aggressive forum abuse and highly questionable gamesmanship.
These issues need to be addressed also and serial offenders brought to task.

I for one would one hundred percent agree with this but please tell me would that be a rule for everyone or just a rule for who you seem fit to punish for?
Because just now there is no rule against it so no punishment can be issued for doing it

A bye week in the middle of a tough tourney to get a break and re-focus? That sounds to me like something that should already be part of the major tourneys.
L M S wrote:Quitting in the middle of a big tourney is a bigger pain in the ass for everybody but, still not that bad to iron out really. Dropping before the tourney gets going is no big deal at all, especially when given the green light by the proper big shot in charge types prior to dropping.
I get that it could cause an extremely minor disruption for a day or two but, I don't see the reason for jumping up and down until the bed breaks about it, friend. Even the latest situation is already water under the bridge, adjustments have already been made - life is peachy again.
L M S wrote:Unexpected shit happens, no reason to punish anyone over it. People change their minds, no reason to ban them from future events. Personnel evolves and with it priorities, no reason to threaten retribution over that.
How many clans out there today that are over 50% the same, roster wise, as they were 2 years ago? We can go 1 1/2 years if you like (about the time it takes to do the CC Cup) For a small clan like **** that usually hovers right around 20 members anyway, what you are suggesting doing is making the future pay for the past. Why would anyone want to join a clan they knew were under "probation" and couldn't play in the best clan tourney's CC had to offer for two years or whatever? Meanwhile, the only way a small clan could get strong enough again to compete in high profile events would be to recruit and gain strength in the membership. It would be a never ending loop and it would actually kill the clan instead of allowing it to regroup and come back prepared and ready to rock.

I did not threaten to lock this thread. I just think that there hasn't been a clan that "dropped" an event. The situations that are at issue here did not cause harm to anyone. And they did not just "drop" the event, they came to us or the TOs and asked for permission...which was given.
Now, if a clan just decided to disappear or "drop" an event, you wouldn't even hear about it. We would propose such harsh punishment to the privilege holder, the clan leadership, and (if necessary) the clan members themselves that no clan would risk it. Trust me, no clan could just "drop" an event and live long enough to tell about.
so there already is a punishment just like Chap is asking for there to be.
could you please explain what it is and how it is calculated so we are all forewarned.

Sorry. Missed this one.
It is not actually a punishment per se. But clans have threatened to drop challenges before. We typically go to the privileges holder and see what is going on. If we get no response, or one we don't like the response, we go to the leadership of the clan. If the leadership does not provide an adequate response, or we don't like the response, we go to the membership to see if anyone in the clan cares about the decisions that were made. I would draw your attention to what happened with Dynasty in the CCup3. So far, we have never failed to get someone to take over the war, event, etc. However, if the privileges holder, clan leaders, and all clan members fail to respond or provide an adequate solution we do have the "clan ban" in our pocket. Basically, in such a scenario, all current members of the clan and any future member would be banned from holding privileges for a set period (3-12 months) [they would obviously be provided notice that this would occur if they failed to carry on]. This, in essence, would kill that clan. It is not a pretty scenario, but the threat has so far been successful. I would say we have used this potential sanction a handful of times. Of course, if those clan members go to other clans, there is not much we can do except restrict them from holding privileges.
You can see where we could go from there. We could insert a "poison pill" provision that says that any clan with one of those players would also be prohibited from events, etc. However, since the issue has never really come up, there has been no reason to debate it.

that sounds similar to Tournaments where abandoning a tournament can stop you from being granted privileges for a time.
if they go to another clan could you restrict them from participating in 'Official' events for a set period of time or until they have completed a War with the new clan?

Sure. The problem becomes the players in the clan that don't do very much and don't know much about how the clan works who get caught up in their leadership not doing the right thing. Also, does the entire clan sign up for an event? For instance, I signed the Legion up for the CCup4...I didn't ask first. So did everyone in my clan consent to that kind of punishment? Food for thought.

CL5 has 16 new games every 2 weeks, and CC4 has 20 new games (or 21 in tie-breaker week) every 2 weeks to fill. If clan say for themselves that they cannot commit to join 16 new games in CL5 every 2 weeks, how we can believe them that they will be able to join 20 new games in CC4 every 2 weeks?

There is nothing fishy. Both events together have 36 new games every 2 weeks. A clan found themselves in a situation where they can fill only 25 games every 2 weeks. That means they can handle one event 100% but not both at the same time. Isn't it obvious?

Well, maybe we should vote in CDF to see how TOFU should be punished...
A. No punishment.
B. Clan Ban (12 months).
C. Castration.
Just a thought.
