the real question is…should leaders have to be on the server for a certain amount of time and if they have tails then they can not be a leader just eat some cheetos and watch some Cartoon Network

Yes this all happens to us, crew leaders may get inactive so as a leader I’ll demote them till they are active again. See we can’t do that because it’s says we need ALL leaders on to demote just one leader which makes no sense if a few of them are inactive. Is there a way we can fix this? Like have Owner status of a crew so if a leader is inactive you can demote them. Currently I am having that trouble as most of my high superior leadership is occupied with school. Help please 

1. Yes its possible to disable this.
2. I’ll explain why I think this is a bad idea, feel free to fight it, but its a global toggle for every single crew, not just yours.

If Crew leaders are inactive, then why does it matter if they stay a leader? Just aesthetics? it wont effect game-play? It makes no difference to the crew does it?

The benefits our-weight the cons from what I can see;

Needing all leaders to be online to demote someone; I cant think of any cons to this setup we have at present, you didn’t say why? so im having to assume the only reason you want to do this is for aesthetics, XYZ hasn’t been on in a while, lets demote them. Is that it? If it is:

• Send them a message on the website and explain, this is part of managing a group of players as a leader.
• Only rank up leaders that you trust/have contact with.

Issue that will be caused if you allow ANY leader to demote ANY other leader;

1. Ridiculous drama when someone backstabs you and removes you from your own crew, Great now someone is crying to staff on the forums that they got kicked out of the crew they created.
2. It means its a solid crew, your leaders have to all agree on something, you have to work together as a crew and cannot just act alone when you feel like it, as its a crew thats a joint effort to work as, a crew..
3. You have to think about who you set as a leader, you dont just willy nilly appoint someone for a night out only to regret it later, You know you’ll need all leaders to remove them if you appoint them.
4. Staff can remove leaders, A simple forum thread requesting it could solve someone you wish to remove that hasn’t been online for 6 months, same as claim removal thread.

Alternatives:

Conformation to promote; Currently disabled, this enables all leaders needing to confirm a promotion.

Why is there only either crew member or leaderS (emphasis on the S), why cant there be like 1 Leader and the rest are High Command or crew members, and the leader has the most power, while the rest of the high command can do what leaders do now? Vote to remove someone that’s in high command out of it.

Leader: Can do what normal leaders can do currently, except they can demote someone without the need of votes?

High Command: Basically a leader without the we have in game currently.

Makes most sense to me but idk, do we have the capability of making a rank system?

I agree, we never have all leaders online at the same time, but I think the BE is a special kind of case.. I mean, our leadership is huge.. as we have, what? 8 or so positions. we rarely see people go though, but yeah it happens sometimes.. BE is generally a stable crew when it comes to the core so I dont think it would be too much trouble for us to just ask staff to help occasionally. Also every half year we have the elections and so with that the cabinet need to change, thus leaders have to be replaced, but I think most of the positions will almost always be filled by 50-70% of the same old players so it will only be a few players every half year we’ll need help manage.

Overall I don’t see problems with the blocker.. it stop unnecessary drama and so that’s nice – We have enough drama already 🙂

Well, let’s say that you have a leader that’s acting contrary to the crew’s wishes. You want to demote them, to restore balance, to punish them, yet you can’t. Because, one of your leaders are inactive. I’m not sure if this also applies to kicking them, but if it does, then it doubles the problem. You can’t punish the leader no matter how guilty they are.

There is no such thing as a “TOP MIGHTY LEADER TO RULE THEM ALL“. What there is, is leaders, you set them IF you want to share the crew power with them, There cannot be 1 person to overrule everyone…

My pros/cons list I already made outlines all my thoughts, that we would loose a good feature for no reason if we changed the toggle to have ANY leader demote another leader.

it’s all about your own management of a crew yo

We can always trial it, nothing has to be permanent, but the second there is any drama related around “omg I got demoted from my own crew!” it will be switched back again.
