''They will lose their virtual Rank, and have it Replaced with Deputy Owner. HOWEVER, they will first: Be immune from being kicked out. Second: They will be able to regain their Ownership Rank back, when they wish it (it will happen if they decided to be active again and Lead the Clan again).''

This seems the best solution but i avoided suggesting it myself cos it seems a very difficult thing to achieve but yea id agree.

Hey guys,

Ok put yourself in my shoes for a second and think about this,

My owner has been inactive since the creation of the clan and only logged in a 10 times at best in those times.

I am on of 3 deputys, if you guys go on the basis of first deputy ranked gets owner and wait 6 months means that iv not only just waited 3 years, i have to wait another year and a half and the time it takes to make such a system, as the other 2 deputy's are inactive also.

In regards to the idea, I dont like the idea of the owner being kicked at all, I think deranking them would be far better.

If I was dead honest, it would be better if a Jmod looked into it on a case by case basis and got the clans feedback and made a decision than wasting time on making such an update as not many would ask for a leadership change.

Iv tried the best I can do with what I have but I am still unable to do so much such as active the notice board -.-, kick inactive and such and it has been seriously hindering my clan and Iv been told it will be sorted for 3 years and nothing is happening so waiting 2 years more is like a slap in the face.

Edit:

P.s @Mod Matthe or other Jmods it may be best to reword the title to "Inactive Clan Leaders" to avoid confusion regarding legacy CLF leaders.

Edit 2:

It would be awesome to unpin the QA threads and pin this to get as much feedback as possible, but thats just my opinion ;)

I like this as well, I don't know how often a clan leader goes inactive but if we can get a pinned thread or maybe even an email to mail to regarding cases like this then it might take up less work than making an automatic system for it. And it will only be used by those that want/need it.

I don't think this is possible. The whole reason at the moment why there can only be one "clan owner" position is because of the way the coding works. It isn't possible to have multiple people with the same rank which means the original clan owner wouldn't be able to regain their position by logging back in.
Ho Ho Ho!

This is a tricky topic. It's a big issue but at the same time it's very situational. Honestly I can't see a Jagex run system that can effectively give everybody what they want or fits everyone's clan.
What if we had some way of allowing the clan members to decide when it's time for a new leader. Something like a vote of some sort that would calculate a certain majority from the visitor requirement for upgrades in that clan's citadel tier.

For example; A clan's leader goes inactive at Tier 6, however the deputies manage to stabilize the clan and keep it running in his/her absence. After some time the clan decides the leader isn't coming back and it's time for a new one. So one week while capping they all go to a podium or talk to the quartermaster or something and vote "yay or nay" to replace the leader with the oldest deputy.

From here the citadel calculate how many people said yes and no, (just a round number here) and if 75% said yes, then the next tick the leader would be replaced. The 75% majority would be calculated from visitor requirement for the citadel's current tier rather than how many people are in the clan.
So a tier 6 citadel requires (I think) 30 people to visit for upgrades then it would take 23 people to vote yes for the leader to be replaced.

It might be a bit of a problem for larger clans but the idea can be tweaked I guess.

There are a lot of clans out there with awol Clan owners or managers from afar :( We can not have it a case by case basis operating from a pinned thread in clf because many do not have access to clf (either he clan has no representation or the awol owner is the representation).

Whether or not this goes ahead I would like a to propose a culture change. The titles Clan Owner and Deputy Owner are changed to Leader. How can we own a clan, ie a group of people?

Edit - the proposed idea that the owner can reclaim the clan if they return - I would say no, if they have been uncontactable for 3, 6 months or whatever the time limit is they should only come back as owner / leader with the blessing of the current clan management, i.e. the ones doing all the work and holding the whole thing together.

Actually didn't think of this workaround, seems good, they know if they are totally inactive for x amount of time that they loose leadership and its out there so no one can be blind sided by it.

As long as the period of time isn't too short it should be fine.

I won't get involved in the when the come back they get leadership back idea thing because I feel the more complicated we make the system the longer it will take for it to get out there and be useful to clans that need it.

Id say that a sticky in the clf for this kind of issues to be sorted manually is a good idea in theory but it depends how much freedom or how much involvement Jmods want to get involved with, im sure they dont want to be checking through lists and lists trying to work it out.

CLF is the best place for this because most high ranks can access CLF and to me this is only an issue for clans who are eligible for CLF anyway, if your clan isnt eligible for CLF then its quite clear its not developed enough to not just start a new one. This is only an issue for long established clans with a lot of history and a lot to lose.

I think it could be worth having cos in some cases there is an obvious answer to if the clan owner should actually still be owner.

If the clan leader goes awol for a serious length of time the clan is in serious difficulties. It just takes one update (...) and the clan is stuck (...)

Go form a new clan is not an option. (...) You are asking a whole group of people to throw away months or years of work for one individual.

Hard hearted I know but if an ex Clan Owner comes back and wants their clan back it should be up to the clan. Too many of us are looking at clans as something we own and have a right to, not that we are in a position by the agreement of others and to be of service to them.

See I have a problem with this because I believe that the title Clan Owner implies that I do in fact own my clan. In reality, it's a symbolic title because legally speaking I don't own anything on RuneScape; not even my account nor my registered clan chat. But my Clan extends to our offsite website, chats and other services some of which I legally own or have licensed.

So that's why I don't like this idea. I think my clan could continue to operate in my absence without any problems because we don't depend on the in-game clan tools. But not all clans are the same.

Option to opt out. So we want to be able to say this group is mine and if I disappear no one has the right to alter my ownership or get on with growing the clan? Hmmmm I hope that toggle option if available is 100% transparent to all clan members.

Lol. That's kinda like what we have right now in case you didn't notice. :P
