Hey Guys, of course this is primarily aimed at Nigel's consideration but I figure this might be something good to post for opinions. I believe we should up the requirements for GW as far as elder is concerned. I think at this point we have enough dedicated players to make elder a little bit more of an epic position held by proven players with a bit of seniority and maturity to follow clan expectations and support the original vision of an enjoyable family (DRAMA FREE) atmosphere. I suggest the requirement for consideration of promotion be bumped to around 4000 to 5000 in a two week period to then be assessed in a restricted forum chat with the clan elders to make the final decision. I figure this might be a good filter to prevent immaturity from polluting the clan and gives a bit more of a special feel to having that position. The restricted forum would help with needed discussion if there are problems with certain members or something that might need to be discussed behind closed doors. GW is a privilege to be a part of and as the primary clan I think this would help give it an epic feel. As a bit of a newbie elder I'd be just fine with being demoted and contributing to these requirements to be re-assessed. Thanks for reading! ?

I somewhat agree, but I think 4000-5000 is a bit high. Not very many members hit that number or get close to it. I personally hit around 1500 in two weeks (although I don't play on weekends much anymore). I think 2000 in two weeks is a good amount. If you play and donate this is an achievable number. Most people that hit this would be considered core members, thus them being elder makes sense.
Being elder isn't just about prestige tho. It is also about protecting the clan. Look what happened when Oh Luca! kicked a bunch of non-elders a month ago. He was here for a long time and was active. If we had these suggest rules in place over 90% of the clan would have been kicked. So it is something to consider on both sides.
The best solution: If Supercell would add another damn clan rank!!!!

DMAN I meant 4000-5000 instead of the 800 initial requirement that we have in place at the moment. It would be a way to maybe open the door to being considered.... Just a thought of course.

Good idea webads! So its like the same thing? Its just that lets say for example.. 3000 donations in one season to be eder.. And 1500 to stay elder.. Right? We can discuss more about this bro! And i like ur point about givin elder an "epic feel"! I think its about time for that.. And we can also add dmani's suggestion about another requirement.. That bein a member of this forum

Putting a little more thought into this maybe that number would be well suited for atleast a couple seasons. For example: tomtom donates 3000 one seaon but then can't the next. He then follows the lower donation season with another 3000 season and basically locks an application for elders to do a vote in a closed forum for elder rights. This might be too complicated to track... Not sure, but I think this would feel like a nice achievement and a bit of a challenge to meet.

Im glad this topic was brought up, I think elder is given to easily in this clan and more strict requirements need to be met before someone is promoted. Recent elders like bassmaster and mathewgrove were promoted only to leave for other clans then come back like nothing is wrong, we need to weed out the players just looking for the title of elder and promote players that are loyal to the clan. I like the ideas brought up here and also think there needs to be at least a 1 or 2 month monitoring period by the established players to see if a player is GW elder material. Then maybe a closed forum vote and discussion if promoting this guy is a good idea.

What I can do is make a new level of forum moderator that has little to no moderator abilities (currently only myself and the other clan leaders have that ability) and then create a section of the forum that only elders can access. And this would only be elders in the GW mother clan, doesn’t count the feeders as it would be difficult to track and they have their own governing anyway. Then we can make any sort of elder only voting thread there. I can work on this when I get home and make sure the correct accounts get promoted to elder on the forum. The other key part is making sure that all elders create accounts and vote on the matter.
Let me know what you think.
