Clan matches, especially, should auto start or disappear by default after a certain period of time.
As a clan leader, I'm watching stale challenges just sit there and don't know whether to delete them or wait awhile longer.
I could send a message asking if the other clan intends to accept or not, and may just be waiting for a better time, but then it's possible that they accept at a terrible time for our clan.
Auto start default could be that a challenge that is not rejected will start automatically after 15 or 30 days.
Auto rejection could be the same. Either way, the leaders would have a better idea where they stand.
It's no big deal, but for now, I have to push the Withdraw button when I haven't heard anything, and I'm not sure when it's the right time to do that.
Suggestions are welcome.

the whole point of being a leader is that you have to make the should i keep the challenge or delete it decisions.

A second default option is then recommended. Just as days to move and time outs are set by default, so could auto starts and auto rejects.
Thus, as clan leader, in the settings I could choose:
auto reject all challenges after X days (the setting could be viewed exactly as the current move settings are shown)
fair enough?

Originally posted by coquettei don't really see the point tbh, it doesn't really matter if a challenge is left not started or not. you can choose to delete it or simply leave it and if it does eventually come back deal with it but if it doesn't just let it rot away with the other challenges.
Good point.

whats the harm in just leaving it?
I hear what you're saying Miss C but there's another problem in that when a members goes unavailable another member defaults into their place. This could lead to some funny matchups.
I think there would definitely need to be an option to disable to auto. Personally I just withdraw challenges periodically.
Originally posted by coquetteI could get behind this.

Maybe both.
Auto-start and auto-reject.
If you never want your games auto-started, just set your auto-start days higher than your auto-reject days, and vice versa.
