Glad you agree.

From an insiders perspective (someone who was CS during Gynx's reign), I can tell you that Gynx just wanted to kill clans. De-cluttering the official clan list was a secondary objective. The argument we used to justify it back then was that 'officialness needs to mean something', same argument you're using. The /difference/ between then and now is that we have almost no-one playing and we have no growth. It /just/ ain't as necessary now.
Also, since we're looking at motive, Duck directly stated that he made the auto checks strict because he wanted to force in-game activity. What happens if you're a forum active clan, but don't play the game much? Well now you're killed and you're leaving the website. It was counter-productive af, and he received massive backlash for it.

Don't volunteer if you don't want to do anything. That is such a ridiculous argument that people make, especially for Clan Staff, given the fact that CS literally do next to nothing. It was 0 skin off my back to check through 1/6 of the clans (everyone has equal share) twice a year. I don't remember it ever taking more than 20 minutes. It was not hard work. It was
PEAK idiocy/laziness for Duck to implement the auto-checks.

Current system kills you if you don't get enough 'points' after the warning. Different to what I proposed.
