Originally posted by mghrn55It is essential to separate clan ratings from tournament ratings to prevent this sort of knock-on effect which degrades both clans and tournaments.
I have pointed this out in the past.
While not relevant to the clan issue,
individuals who enter tournaments and then resign their games en-masse are taking spots in the tournament away from subscribers who actually want to play tournament chess.
This continued behavior will negatively impact revenue for this site.

I logged on this morning to message from Wycombe Al saying that because of the situation on this site with regards to the Clan problems and also the sand bagging he is leaving
I think he may be a bit early in his judgement but I can see where he is coming from
I am waiting to see how this will pan out before I follow him
Originally posted by GiannottiAdd to that list the proposal I submitted.
A clan forum thread was initiated, with all clan leaders invited to comment
Some useful suggestions were proposed, before it disintegrated
A second thread was created using the best suggestions from the first
These were compiled, to eliminate duplication
Where there was division of thought, both views were presented
