One is really needed/would be useful.
Just going through all the clans in hiscores, literally hundred thousand or so, there's many with "BOTs" as owners, members, etc that leave data waste all through the clan search function and other areas, such as taking up available and otherwise usable names. What's the status on such and opinions of such a thing?

On that note, I'm sure some people are still interested in knowing what the status of this poll from 2014 was and if it's still something that's being considered.

Inactive Clan Removal Poll


IIRC the result was a Yes to the removal. However that was in the days of the Dev Com team which has not existed for at least 18 months now. It also would require Engine dev time which is a precious commodity - I certainly don't think it is likely to be done any time soon.

Oh, I didn't know the DevCom Team no longer exists :(

Thanks for the answer though. I don't recall a formal response being made after the results were collected, but I could be mistaken. It was awhile ago after all.

Maybe this will be picked up at some point in the future? I know it's certainly not a priority given all of the other potential uses for this Dev Time. I would much rather see this time go towards other clan updates than an update that would free up some inactive clan names.
