Many times a group that is perfectly decent, is left. This usually allows BC members to claim it as their own. But, often times another group, usually large, will go around claiming groups, making them requested-join only, and leaving - AKA, wasting these groups that could be used by others. I think the idea of claiming a group and making it have to be request-joined isn't right, and even group owners who left and made the group non-joinable themselves is bad.
I think we should make groups be claimable by BC members who find them, even if they have the silly join request only option. As, the group has no leader anymore - it's not like the group itself can sort that out, we should be able to claim it as we please.
Anyone support? |

| I think only if the group is empty too that you should be able to. |

@Chaos Well, there is always the chance there will be that one inactive person at the lowest rank, so I don't know about that. The reason I wanted to do this, is because there is a division for one of the groups I am in that I would like to restore, long since inactive, and although it has no leader or any members - it cannot be claimed from the request-only option on. |

| No support, The groups are dead for a reason and they make then Request join so people don't take the group and their ideas. |

The benefits outway the disadvantages, though.
"so people don't take the group and their ideas." Take their group - they left it. It does not belong to them at this point, and they likely don't care about it. Take their ideas - What ideas? You're only taking the group, not the bases, etc. Basically just a name.
As I said, a division for a group I HR in, is join-request only, for unknown reasons, as it is an old division. It has the perfect name, and was meant for our group, but now cannot be reclaimed. Sometimes a group owner gives the group to an HR as he needs space, etc, and the 'trusted' HR ends up leaving it and putting it request-only, destroying the group that was otherwise active. (I've seen it happen.) Only the occasional group that wanted it not to be revived would care. But, even they will likely not complain too much, as the person who claimed the group again likely would not be trying to revive the original, but make a new one under the name of the original, meaning only original members would know, etc.

Honestly I don't like this idea.
You didn't mention anything about payment, or a system that can be used to even get this abandoned group. I believe it would turn into people racing to get a group with inactive players, and then to get more, and so-on. So, personally I think you'd get more feedback if you put more thought into this idea, because it was actually an alright idea. |

I don't quite understand what you mean. Payment? A system that can be used to get the abandoned group? -What are you talking about, payment? -BC members can already claim groups. Just let them claim non-joinable ones.
And about the 'racing to get a group with inactive players', I can't imagine that being a problem really.. |

Thanks for the support. Also, I may necro-bump this thread every so often, as I'd rather not make multiple threads. |

bump
Still staring at that perfect group division for a group I'm an HR in. Still wishing I could get it, because it has 0 members and no owner. ... Still unable to get it. qq |
