I know this is slightly off the guidelines, but I'm extremely short on time, so I've made daveg1 the leader here http://www.gamespot.com/pages/unions/home.php?union_id=FPShooters
Ok I have a union that has been dying for a while now and our leader has not been active for like 3 months. We held an election and we have decided that I be leader. The votes will be shown below, but I was wondering can you be a leader of two unions?
[QUOTE="Draconis"]I am trying to start up a union (Christian Fellowship Union) and I sent out the charter member invites. Three accpeted and they show as being accepted, I got an e-mail that the fourth member accepted, however when I go to my union page it still shows only 3 have accepted instead of the four as it should be, so the union cannot get started up. Please help, thanks :)
Something weird happened with godsgroovygamer's invitation acceptance. In any case, I've forced the union to form - have him try to accept again. If that doesn't work, have him decline, then re-send the invite.
[QUOTE="VinceL"]If a union leader has just not logged in for a long time and has not left any indication about transferring membership, that is unfortunately not a good enough cause to intervene. I cannot transfer the leadership in that situation since it's the union leader's responsibility to support and maintain the union, and if he/she is not banned or in some way prevented from being a leader, I can't interfere. If this is the case for your union, and you cannot continue with only the officers running the place, I would recommend selecting a leader to form a new union.Sentinelrv
But then they would lose their entire member base, or almost all of it. What if the union leader has been gone for three months or more? This is a terrible way for a union to go.
I think that GameSpot should create a system where if the leader is inactive for so long, they receive an automatic PM notifying them that they will be kicked from leadership in X amount of days if they don't get active with the union again. It could also mention that if they don't care about the union anymore, then they should hold an election and pass the union on to the winner of the election. This is almost the same thing as the inactive union deletion system you mentioned about GameSpot creating before.
I'm not saying this is a permanent policy, and fortunately we have a wealth of user-submitted suggestions as to how to implement a technical solution to the problem.
I've updated the first post to answer the question of "If the union leader just hasn't been active/online in a long time, can we transfer union leadership?"
No, not yet... Can you give me the full details again? Sorry about having you repeat yourself, if you are, but I was sort of swamped before I could get this list together.
