I wonder how many other clans out there also don't have a clear back-up leader, or if I truly am an anomaly.
I don't really have a clear leader for my clan. One of my friends and cohorts wouldn't want a leadership role as she always ends up in that if leaders leave. My deputy would probably accept it but I'm not sure if she would really appreciate it either.
Luckily for me though, my clan doesn't take an awful lot of running, merely guiding. We have almost no drama in there and everyone gets along really well. So anyone who takes over a leadership role there wouldn't have issues if I were to leave. However like you Leta, I doubt that's going to happen any time soon.
My reasons for starting my own clan in the first place were due to various other clans just having so much drama in them and I really hate that. I don't want to have to deal with other peoples issues every day. So this was a way for me to build a community of like minded people which has worked like a dream.
Back on topic, I do have an idea for if a leader is going inactive or already inactive which would combat most peoples concerns. How about a system where the leader could nominate a temp leader for a set period and they get put to an unbootable rank for that period? If they haven't returned after that period, the system automatically puts them to a silver key so the new leader can do as they see fit. If you're gone for 2 and a half months, set it to 3 and claim it back once you return.
For inactive leaders already, the clan could put in a vote at the clan camp to change leaders. Once the vote has been initiated, the leader gets an inbox message giving them 3 months to cancel the vote or be taken off. Again the leader has the option of coming back within the 3 months after switched leadership to claim it back. So essentially they have 6 months in total to do something about their leadership.

@ Pescao
Well what about the majority of clans that weren't made pre 2011 and don't want to connect via skype and all that due to privacy issues?
What about them? As I said before, not all clans are the same.

As I've read on this thread somewhere, even if the title is ''Owner,'' you don't in any way own the clan; they're a group of people and you can't own them.

A leader has one duty; show up to make sure the clan has access to the tools it needs. If a leader fails in this duty for a long enough duration, you've failed your clan and someone else who've kept the clan alive despite your failure should be rewarded with your position so they can lead the clan correctly and easier with access to everything they didn't before (such as inactivity sweeps).
That's an opinion, not a fact. As we learned from previous CLF debates , every Clan Leader has a different opinion on how his clan should be run.
Leta said :
Perhaps the million dollar question is: Does 6 months of inactivity disqualify you from the leadership of your own clan that you created and have perhaps been leading for 3, 5, 8+ years?
Hell no!

A clan can also be destroyed if the wrong person takes over for an inactive leader, then the leader returns to find ruin, or nothing at all.
