Good opener. Really sets the ground for a productive dialogue. I'll return the favour.

There would still be limitations on how many members you can have assigned to "inactive" rank (which would still be these 50% of total member count), and then we'd also have to only give full activity points if all other clan members are active (because you already defined which players of your clan are inactive, right? everyone else must be active in that case). What's the change then? To me it sounds like more manual (and useless) labor for clan leads with no actual difference.
No sir. It's almost like YOU DIDN'T READ MY SUGGESTION (you only read my username). That's not what I suggested AT ALL.
I suggested that if a small clan achieves full ingame activity points for having 6 members playing, ALL clans with 6 members (or more) playing receive full points too.
There would be no members ranks, there would be no need to edit the script. All it takes is for one clan staff member to discern the smallest clan that got full ingame points. Then it's just a matter of looking at the failing clans and if they have more members playing than the previous clan, give them full ingame points too.

If you have a team of 10 developers in which 7 of them are actively pushing out work, you have an active team. But if you have a team of 60 and only 7 of them are working, your team is not active. I'd say that's pretty simple and reasonable, but feel free to disagree.
Team A has 7 active developers, Team B has 7 active developers... Both developing the same amount of content (i.e. same activity). Why would you disband Team B? That's unreasonable.
Again, I ask
why? You haven't given me a reason, other than 'it just should be this way'.
This isn't taxes. A 'relative' activity standard isn't needed. Why are you and sir so keen on neglecting to fix this oversight?

You didn't cave at all. You haven't adjusted the formula at all (throughout this whole thread you've been reluctant to change it). Forum is still only worth 30%. Ingame activity is still
counted 3 times over.
On rewarding activity... Being blackmailed into playing the game is still being blackmailed into playing the game, even if now your leader can have a custom usertitle. You're still serving us shit, even if it's with a side of fries.
